More than once, Amorim has looked the picture of despair on the touchline. Surely he's got to put on a more positive face in public.

 

Why? He doesn't shy away from performances. He's honest and says we play well when we play well, and when we're shit he's say we're shit. It was one of the things I hated most about Ten Hag. We would win a game 1-0 from a moment of brilliance, but concede 20+ shots and be completely outplayed for 85 minutes and he'd say we deserved to win and that we'd be in a title race if Garnacho wasn't offside in a game that was 4 months ago.

He seems to have tied himself in verbal knots over the Rashford / Garnacho situation, claiming that they haven't been dropped for disciplinary reasons when they clearly have. It's ended up with Rashford saying he wants to go and Amorim saying he wants him to stay, despite the fact that Man U would be well rid of him. 

 

Would you want him to publicly throw players under the bus? Especially if we're looking to sell a high PSR asset such as Rashford. I feel like publicly attacking him would be bad for everyone involved, and would come under more criticism from everybody else.

I'm not sure why he picked on Garnacho, who, from what I've seen, gives his all and is a talent worth nurturing. He may have lost him now.

 

Garnacho was heavily rumoured to be leaking lineups. He was also liking posts on social media critcising his own teammates, which is completely unacceptable. 

 

Despite this, he's obviously put his head down and he's went straight back into the squad.

I think Amorim will have the misfortune of struggling through this season, with a minor improvement in January probably. But when he is able to build his own squad properly I think he'll do well there because he plays a good style of football, its just that this Man Utd squad is seriously lacking in quality. 

 

I know they've a lot more revenue than us but it'll be fairly annoying watching them fund yet another spending spree while we can't spend a penny.

Amorim is just proving how utterly average Man Utd are.

 

Rashford got away with so much under previous managers.

 

100%. Looks like he's not getting away with it with Amorim.

Only way manure grt back to the very top is a complete overhaul of the squad and with them sailing so close to psr, that isn't going to happen for 2 or 3 years. 

 

Be ironic if the very cunts the PL are trying to protect need the rules to dissappear. Theyve already bent them as far as thry can go with special allowances. 

 

The manure job is more about character than talent, especially in its current form. I don't think RA has the character they are looking for and that may be why it doesn't work out for him. You need that us vs the world approach, just seems since he's come in he's divided the camp more than anything.

It would appear opposition fans have a very different view of Amorim that we have. He's the perfect character for the job. Whether he has the talent or not remains to be seen, but he hasn't uttered a single word out of place so far despite the immense scrutiny that comes with the role.

 

I don't think the squad needs as much as people think either, and it's very young. Would hope we can get rid of Shaw, Rashford, Antony, Casemiro and Eriksen in the next 6-7 months to free up some pocket money and invest in players suited to Amorim's system, starting with a LWB.

Fairly decent stats for a CDM right? ;) @bobbydazzla some stats for you.

 

It makes sense that he has to make a lot of tackles when he plays for you guys. He's also top 1% for "attempted tackles"?

Okay so what about last season?

 

Manuel Ugarte's total of 98 tackles was the highest by anyone in Ligue 1 last season; and he managed it despite starting only 21 games out of 34, for a team, in Paris Saint-Germain, who spent roughly 66 per cent of the time in possession.

It depends on where you want to be , you will obviously comfortably overtake the likes of us again with all the resources you have and wage budget etc that we will never be able to compete with, you are a million miles away from say challenging for the title though which is ultimately what you should be judged against .

Didn't read the article did you Dokko. :lol: You should know better than to mindlessly screenshot sensationlist headlines from the British press.

Win the ball, give it to Bruno. Does what he's told.

 

Noticed against Bournemouth that he was frankly terrible with his passing. He would dally and then try something he hasn't got the ability to achieve. He was trying to play well out of his comfort zone.

 

I'm pretty sure we targetted him for the press when he was at PSG. He's just really limited with the ball, a passenger in possession. Which I guess a midtable team can carry, but if you are genuinely ambitious, you aren't looking at him. 

 

Still, laud his tackle output.

I can say with confidence, if Ugarte is a mainstay CM for Man Utd under Amorim, they're fucked and won't be closing on top 4. He's not the CM to play in a middle 2, even more so with 3 CBs. Need someone who can actually progress the ball and more break the lines with the ball, not just do a limited aspect of one part of the game. There's not a CM in Man Utd collection that can do that.
