Not necessarily, they are considered rivals as they are part of the so called big six, so the more they struggle the better

 

The sooner this big six nonsense gets shattered the better and both of those clubs struggling and finishing well outside the top 6 helps towards that

 

(Plus if you know any Man U fans personally then it's always extra enjoyable because growing up they were the most arrogant fans going by a country mile)

 

Aye, indeed. 

I'm an avid fan of any, non "big 6", team breaking into that top7 league places. Obvs I'd like it to be us, consistently, but the more get in and squeeze those cunts out the better. 

Up the Villa, Forest, Brighton, Bournemouth and plucky Newcastle is what I say.

Not sure what to make of Amorim tbh. I don't really watch Man United all that much so maybe I'm not best placed to comment but I thought Ten Hag had the right idea when he stood up to Ronaldo and over time he just wasn't able to wean out all the bad eggs it seems. Now Amorim is asking his team to stand up and be counted and whilst he is absolutely correct I feel he's doing so whilst the season is still young and whilst that could have been a masterstroke and dragged them up the league the reality has fast become evident - that they don't have the right aspirations, desires, dedication or professional pride to actually work for their managers, themselves or their pay.

 

I'd (mentally) even argue that he'd be better off chucking in a few kids or swap the whole lot for a game or two me to make absolute mugs of the first team squad. If nowt else, they'd at least be made twats of and fans might see the right level of application and desire from kids who wanna succeed and play for the right reasons.

 

Players aren't bigger than clubs - that always has to be the attitude for a successful side. I cannot see anything working for this chap other than an overhaul and then financial limitations will potentially restrict that, and so his final chance will be relying on those youngsters.

I just don't get how a manager can come out and say "we're shit" and it not basically be a stackable offence. 

 

He's the manager. If they're shit then it's on him.

 

If it's not him then what is it? The players? That's a great way to get them on your side. The board? Always a good idea to call your boss shit. Trying to undo the effects of the previous manager? Ok maybe, but good lord there's better ways to get your point across. 

 

Can only see this ending in tears at this point.

Foundations aren't there for him to be stacked.

 

Jokes aside, he's only calling the squad though, right? Not upwards? He basically has a load of scrounging, jobsworth, good for nowts freeloading an expensive salary.

 

Granted it's not best form to do what he's doing, but I suspect the board aren't bothered by it. You'd think there'd be transfers swirling around Old Trafford though both in and out.

But they’re shit regardless of whether he says it, so don’t see how saying it is a sackable offence. In fact it’s v important for a manager to recognise when they’re shit - I’m much more worried when they seem to not see it. That said, don’t know if it’s a good strategy for motivating players.

Maybe he's wanting to get the sack as that club (brilliant to see) is a total cluster fuck currently

These historic psr advocates being constrained by the very thing they have championed when they need a new squad is glorious. 

Being constrained?

 

$40 million covid payment?

$30 million bullshit payment?

 

Yep, there restrained alright.

He said we are being the worst Man Utd side. Not that they are the worst. That's just factually true based on results. I think his point was that he wants to keep trying to implement his style, but they need to pick up more points short term aswell, as the results have been historically bad. Atleast he wasn't making excuses about how some of the losses were unlucky etc.

I don't understand why the Manchester United fanbase is so rabid about yesterday. They've played Brighton, who are a good top-half of the table side. Even with home advantages, it was always going to be a tough game for someone in the lower reaches of the league. They gave it a good go.

@Froggywhat are your thoughts on how things are going on the pitch ?

 

Meh. De Ligt, Maguire, Ugarte, Amad and Fernandes playing well. The rest not so much. Team is still riddled with mental midgets who can't keep concentration for 90 minutes.

 

Wing backs are terrible. Mazraoui was brilliant first half of the season but has started to regress. Dalot out of position and playing awful on the left. Yoro was toasted by Sulemana but Mazraoui offered him zero protection, and he was destroyed by Mitoma again yesterday.

 

Feels like this system needs 3-4 signings, which is only happening if Rashford and/or Garnacho are sold.

 

The league is just one big training session for us now and it's all about the Europa League and FA Cup.

 

EDIT: Sorry, harsh on Mazraoui with Sulemana. It was Amad who didn't give him help. Mazraoui was on the other side because Dalot was suspended.

Where do you stand on the narrative about the system ? Surely a good manager has to adapt to his players? Nobody is saying he can't play his system when he has the players suited for it. 

 

It all seems very odd from the outside looking in.

Nope I agree with the manager. He's been brought in to play his way, so play it. No point adapting like Ten Hag did and gaining a false position and then trying to retrain players in pre-season. 

 

He can't bring in 11 new players. I think if he went back to Ole ball for the rest of the season it would leave him far too much to do in the summer.

 

He's playing his way, and he's giving everyone a chance. Even Antony despite having one foot out the door has had multiple chances. He's just confirming who will be here next season and who won't be IMO.
