I'm sure it was Amorim who turned West Ham down.

You might be right - I cant remember tbh

[AyeDubbleYoo]

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.

Or he'd Ryan Fraser him out of existence. Though harder to do when a player's on 300k plus per week.

We using Ryan Fraser as a verb now?

Rashford fails the "no dickheads" policy. 

Moment he went on his tequila binge in Belfast was the reputation killer.

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.

Haven't seen @brummie since Thursday, will @Froggy be the same?

I wouldn’t say that’s knee-jerk, it’s because they’ve been playing bad and losing for ages.

To be fair @Froggy fronted up. Respect to him.

True, but I also think they don't have experience of just how bad you need to be to get relegated.

 

It would be quite the feather in Sir Jim's cap if he somehow against all odds managed it though.

50 years into the future, when people don't even use the internet anymore, I'll still be on here rambling away to myself about Ten Hag's epic cup wins.

[Nucasol]

There’s nothing going to be funnier when Brexit Jim turns on his chino wearing, doping designing bike nonce Brailsford. Only a matter of time before the Ineos lot start devouring each other.

Ah missed those post's, reading them now i like reading his views

[Miggys First Goal]

Think it’s a given they’re going to lose against Liverpool. If they somehow lose against Southampton alarm bells will be going off all over Old Trafford and Carrington. 
 

33/1 for the drop.

Nah, the alarm bells will have been disconnected to save on the leccy

All jokes aside I reckon Howe would get something out of Rashford - not that I want him here. Look at what he's done with Murphy/Gordon

 

I don't think Murphy or Gordon had attitude issues though.

Curious to know whether you also ramble on Man U forums? Moaning about those delusional Newcastle fans 
 

 

[Dokko]

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.

Nah. I read them from time to time but don't post. Find RedCafe in particularly a dreadful place. Incredibly negative.

Writing off Amorim nearly as quickly as you wrote off Dobey yesterday.

Dobey got lucky. Can't play like that again or he's out. Anyway, back to how it's going at manure...

 

Great isn't it? 😂

Remember those kids in school who “supported” them for weird reasons like Beckhams hair. 
 

Wey fuck all them  glory hunting cunts 

My old gaffer from Middlesbrough justified his decision to support them as he went to a Ryan Giggs soccer school in the 90s. Ffs 

[Dokko]

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.

'I'm not done yet - but I don't want to fight relegation' - Moyes ruling himself out of a return to Old Trafford.

It's true as well. You can't think of another team which can rival that observation.
