The issue I have with Amorim is that when you're circling the drain and you know a lot of these players aren't going to be there long term anyway, why are you not more pragmatic and less rigid? Arteta took over and won the FA Cup playing a 5 back because the personnel we had couldn't play the way he wanted to play. If he had been married to trying to play his system with a bunch of players who don't suit it, we win nothing that season and probably finish even lower.Tuchel also played a similar system with Thiago Silva at the heart of a back 3 with Kante and Jorginho as the central midfield.
I think Amorim is a top manager, but he is (so far) a system manager and requires the right players, no doubt about that. I said when he took over than Man Utd are about as poorly constructed for his style as you could possibly be and that'd be a real struggle early on, so I personally won't be judging him before he at least has a season or two with some backing.
We can discuss whether hiring someone like Amorim was the right thing of course, but this guy was schooling big European sides with this system when he had players who fit the thing.
The bad vibed at United must be unrealBest part is there doesn't seem to be much light at the end of the tunnel with ineos cost cutting, them paying off massive interest payments on their debt and maybe no european football money next year. And most of their team being ****.
relegation would be hilariousI predict United will get 6 points from the remainder of their matches this season
What are everyone else's predictions?
They have quite a tough fixture and a few teams fighting against relegation. Those teams always gives extra effort in relegation games.They now have Everton at Goodison, who are actually an in form team. They'll lose that too, no question. It's just too bad the bottom three are not good enough.
If it's true that Liverpool offered him the job before they offered it to Slot and he turned it down with an eye on this one, he's a generational fool.Kind of serves Amorim right. He ignored the evidence in front of him because he thought he was special and could do what all the other top managers couldn't
Any idiot can see that United is the problem
