AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 They’ve missed a few chances to have a reset and build a new team from a lower base - they (I guess understandably) kept trying to maintain a CL position with short term decisions. Difficult decisions to be made if they get into the relegation battle. Otherwise I guess they just write this season off and Amorim starts the job he actually wanted in summer.

Abacus Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 Had a quick look at a Man U forum last night for a chuckle and a lot of the knee jerk reactions were about the danger of sleepwalking into a relegation battle, doubts about Ineos etc. A defeat always brings out the pessimists where the world is ending on any forum, so that's all taken with a hefty shovel of salt, since there is no chance of them being relegated or even close. After an expected loss to Liverpool though, the pressure to then beat Southampton would become pretty big. Not because they'd be in any real danger still, but more how the club, players and some fans might react if they somehow lost that one. Any daft early sacking of Amorim would hugely undermine Berrada too. Ah well, enough of this, back to my team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 The lack of tactical flexibility is down to his inexperience. It's not that he doesn't want to, he doesn't know how to play any other way. He's used plan a and it's worked so that's that. He's creating a ceiling for himself and ultimately he'll not be a top manager because of it. Football moves on and can do so quite quickly. If you're not prepared to adapt, prepare to die. Beyond his tactical limitations he's worse than Moyes for being dour, and has seemingly fallen out with half his squad. He maybe speaks too much truth, but that isn't good. We've seen how diplomatic Howe is and what is needed to navigate the English press. The job is far too big for him. It's a job which only a select few can handle, and he isn't one of them. Add bonus on all this is Ashworth saw the problems and was made to leave because they couldn't take the criticism. Glorious situation they've got themselves in.

Dokko Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 Ruben Amorim is averaging 0.88 points per game as Man Utd manager, across the 27 games he'll have this season that would give them a points tally at the end of 39. The average points to stay up in the Premier League since 1995-96 is 38, meaning they will in terms of current form stay up (just). According to Opta predictions, they predict Manchester United will finish on 50.2 points and in 12th place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
