What do you think is the worst it can get for Ruben to be in trouble ?I definitely agree that Ruben had to come in last summer, the fact they were not interested in him because of the squad makeup.They said they couldn't find anybody, or maybe nobody wanted to take the job under the conditions given. Then they had to keep ETH on and gave him even more money to spend. Yes I agree an interim might have been better for the rest of the season and let Ruben come in with a summer transfer window and a pre-season, but has this club been run sensibly in recent years, of course not. SJR and Co. were too impatient and hadn't realised the damage they had already done to our season with their actions in the summer.
Ten Hags stock has only risen since he was sacked. He was not the problem to address.
Changing the manager hasn't made it any less necessary for Rashford and Shaw to be replaced as first team starting players.
Think it is let's say fortunate that his next league game is Southampton at home. It can break this awful run and hopefully if as expected we go out of the F.A. Cup it gives him more training sessions with the players, concentrate on building the league points and qualification automatically for the next stage of the EL.What do you think is the worst it can get for Ruben to be in trouble ?
I feel once we keep away from relegation and there’s signs of improvement , in the next 8 weeks, he should be fine. But I don’t think he will be allowed to continue in a death spiral and he’s got to get some confidence and performances from this team by end of this month.
Hope so and pray he gets a big club so he can buy the total shit he left here.Ten Hags stock has only risen since he was sacked. He was not the problem to address.

I want some thins to click for him. I still think that we can win the europa league. It’s really not that strong and we have a squad stronger than the majority of the teams in it.Think it is let's say fortunate that his next league game is Southampton at home.

Yes, they could. It is important to me they qualify in the top 8. They need more training sessions, not more games.I want some thins to click for him. I still think that we can win the europa league. It’s really not that strong and we have a squad stronger than the majority of the teams in it.
Failure to beat Southampton and he's a dead man walking. The club aren't going to let this guy drag us down to the Championship.What do you think is the worst it can get for Ruben to be in trouble ?

Recruitment was on Ten Hag.INEOS would love that to be true aswell.
What's happened since is proof that Ten Hag wasn't the biggest fish to fry this season. Recruitment still needed to replace a lot of attackers and goals that this team lost in losing Greenwood, Ronaldo and Cavani in recent seasons.
If this bunch of players cannot beat Southampton at OT the deserve to be chucked into the Manchester Ship Canal.Failure to beat Southampton and he's a dead man walking. The club aren't going to let this guy drag us down to the Championship.
Nor meI don’t get why he persists with Mazraoui at wing back. Clearly hasn’t worked and not going to work, trying to contain Liverpool is impossible anyway so we could have at least tried to play football.
Just play Amad there or try Antony.
We’re getting into ETH territory with a manager making decisions so baffling that no-one understands how he can keep making them. Everyone can see that we need more attacking wing-backs. Everyone, apparently, but Amorim.I don’t get why he persists with Mazraoui at wing back.

I think the point some are missing is that this isn’t the “best” that could be achieved.
We could easily win more games if we didn’t try and change system. But Amorim is sacrificing points now to develop a system which in the long term should win more points.
I agree there is a potential debate around whether that’s right or wrong. But it’s different to flat out saying this is the best this squad can do.
I don't know what to believe any more but the received wisdom is that INEOS pretty much demanded that Amorim take the job now rather than waiting for the summer as the man would have preferred. Hindsight is 20/20 but perhaps the way to go was to keep Ruud in there until season's end.I definitely agree that Ruben had to come in last summer, the fact they were not interested in him because of the squad makeup.They said they couldn't find anybody, or maybe nobody wanted to take the job under the conditions given.

The thing is though, the likes of Osimhen can create a goal out of a half chance.Need to create chances in the first place though
Utterly terrible postI am sick to the back teeth of people excusing Amorim of all responsibility. The quality of the players is a factor that is proportional to success but I would expect to see one or two players flourishing under his inspiration, all players running a whole lot more and to see a general uplift in performance. I don't think the guy is pragmatic enough, I don't think his language is positive enough and I don't think he has the ideas we need. Feels very underwhelming. He's got to get something going. Go Fergie 4-5-1. Defend deep and hit teams on counter or play long balls down the flanks and have and have Hojlund run onto them and young bucks getting up in support. Just something. This wingback shit may work out long term but it could get us relegated before the tale is ever told.
Onana
Maguire. De Ligt Yoro. Dalot.
Dialo. Mainoo. Ugarte. Bruno Garnacho
Hojlund
Ffs get Rashy going. You just know a top manager in the ilk of Fergie, Ancelotti, Klopp or Pep would take him aside and stir his oils. Get him running and fighting and giving his best. Though I do suspect he is so far up his own arse, that this is not an easy job.
We're playing a high flying Liverpool at Anfield. While I don't necessarily agree with it, playing two more defensive wingbacks isn't remotely close to the ridiculous decisions that ETH was making game-in game-out for an entire season. Obviously Amorim did it for the last five or so games as well, but it's still a relatively short period of time.We’re getting into ETH territory with a manager making decisions so baffling that no-one understands how he can keep making them.

Hivemind!Anyway why are the last 10 pages primarily about Ten Hag and De Ligt?
We can already see ETHs dumpster fireAmorim is throwing the players under the bus. He knows they are nowhere near good enough and he wants the world to see this.
How'd that strategy work out for Rangnick?Amorim is throwing the players under the bus. He knows they are nowhere near good enough and he wants the world to see this.
Can he rely on Garnacho at this point? Rightly or wrongly it looks like Rashford and Garnacho have fallen out with the managerHe needs to realise that Garnacho is the only forward we have that can impose himself.
Selfish or not everyone else is non existent except Amad.
Worrying signs from Amorim
Clearly getting some training sessions in has helped. We look better.
