Geordie_once_removed Posted December 30, 2024 Share Posted December 30, 2024 Amorim had a really odd quote. It was something like "I'm not stubborn, I have my principles and I stick to them." Isn't that the definition of stubborn? He seems like a nice guy, I certainly got a lot more joy enjoying Ten Hag fail, but that starting midfield was insanity. It wasn't like Newcastle's lineup was hard to predict. If there is one thing you could criticise Howe of it is that his lineups are predictable.

I was cringing at his answers man If he’d rather get sacked than change his tactics then fair enough, but don’t say it on camera when you’re on an appalling run with a billion pound squad and have just set your team up to get battered by picking a shit midfield Edited December 30, 2024 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Posted December 30, 2024 Share Posted December 30, 2024 They're a much worse team than the Man United team team that was one place above the relegation zone in February and two places above it in March under Ferguson, much less heart too. Shame their are enough exceptionally bad teams to prevent that sort of thing these days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted December 30, 2024 Share Posted December 30, 2024 7 minutes ago, AyeDubbleYoo said: It's a balance for sure, I always think about Steve McClaren who had decent tactics but didn't have the balls to stick to them when we kept losing. And then he failed anyway. Who knows but he has to make them harder to play against. God McClaren was absolutely awful. Couldn’t motivate a Pitbull. Amorim made some terrible selections today. But that squad is awful. It’s worse now than last season. It’s worse than the one ETH inherited. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that, but i think it was baiting so he loses his cool. He didn't do that, which is credit to him. Seen that with Howe a bit as well, he never bites to baiting.

ponsaelius Posted December 30, 2024 Share Posted December 30, 2024 (edited) Amorim obviously deserves time to try and get it right (they surely can't sack him) but a manager who comes in and tries to force a squad of players to a very particular formation, regardless of whether they're suitable to playing it or not, seems to me to be a huge red flag. It shows a complete lack of coaching flexibility and use it resources. Even Conte who prays at the altar of 3-4-3 quickly switched to 4-3-3 at Napoli considering the squad he has. The problem is he's made such a big deal out of the system being his philosophy that by changing things up now he would undermine himself - caught between a rock and a hard place.
