Wages and talent always win in the end. Just letting talented players express themselves in their best positions is often enough to get significantly better performances post outgoing system tyrant.

 

I do like Carrick mind.

Crazy that just a few months ago I was being told that our team is poor? 

Show's the team weren't playing for Amorim.  What does that say about the players?

They absolutely were playing for Amorim. They ran through brick walls for him. I bought into Amorim's vision but I think all we're seeing here is what happens when you put players in their natural positions. 

 

Bruno Fernandes is arguably the best #10 in the world and he was playing deep in midfield.

Amorim was always the problem. Carrick hasn't had to do anything groundbreaking, he's just switched to a formation that actually suits his extremely expensive squad of players.

Hits his side? Pretty sure the replay from the reverse angle where it shows you Dorgu front on showed it didn't hit his hand either

If it touches his hand it's handball, accidental or not.. Or have the rules changed again?

 

It hasn't changed but it just doesn't hit his hand/arm

It hit his hip didn't it? Have you seen the angle from the other side?

I think your style now seems very much like with OGS. Defend quite deep, hit counter attacks when you get turnovers. Bruno can pass, Dorgu, Mbeumo and Amad running behind the defence. It works when opponent has the ball, but will it work against smaller teams? I don't think Carrick gets the job anyway.

We'll find out against Fulham, but you're not the only one wondering how we'll do against the lesser sides. 

 

Either way, back to back wins against City and Arsenal. It's encouraging.

I watched the second half of Hearts v Celtic on Sky Sports and by god the commentators were pure biased. It was like watching Celtic TV. 

 

I thought commentators were meant to be impartial?

Someone needs to stop Arteta and Corner FC.

If that was us we'd already have a rule in place regarding the number of attackers allowed inside the 6 yard box before the ball is struck.

Never heard Daniel Farke speak before, wasn't expecting him to sound like he does. He looks like he'd speak like a Rammstein song 


His camp little voice always raises a smile as you expect him to sound like he eats tabs for breakfast
