He was a prime contender yes.

Yeah, like in PES! Easy, just swap, solved.
Zirkzee change the game today, he finds space in between the lines, he’s much more of a 10/SS than a number 9
Were you of the same opinion when ETH played Maz at 10 over Amad?
Managers make mistakes, and sometimes they are obvious
That’s not what was said. He asked if it improved once he put players in usual positions. I would disagree with that too because he didn’t change any players into their usual positions mid game.
Garnacho came on and stretched the game, Leicester tired. It was nothing to do with players moving into normal positions.
How can he show anything when he hasn't got the right profile of players to play his system?
See this is just delusion to be honest. We can all see he isn't up to it.
We are still in the europa league
I mean yeah it is, but I'm happy he's not throwing him under the bus in public. Amorim does well to be a bit less open with the media
We have absolutely no chance of winning that playing the way we are
True, but I doubt most managers would line up like we did tonight. I have no clue what Amorim is trying to achieve but what do I know.
Well it’s part of a reason yes he’s correct but there’s more to it also. He’s not going to destroy the lads confidence obviously . Wouldn’t expect you to see that though
Doesn't have to be delusion, perhaps he just doesn't want to go hard on Hojlund. Did it with Rashford but no need to do it with Hojlund imo.
Clearly doesn’t realise how broke the club is, no cup win, No European football next season, no £200m investment to buy the players he needs to implement his system.
Aye we won. But that was fecking crap. Amorim looked fuming in the post match but that first half, holy feck. And the Dorgu thing…dearie me.
If a manager can only perform with his selection of players, he's not a good manager
Did he take any blame for the awful starting 11?
He has played on the right more than he has on the left this season, that's a fact. Still find it a shocking decision?
Just dispense with the inside out bullshit at wingback till the squad can play the preffered formation in a consistent manner.
The Dorgu sub was apparently pre planned, I'm fine with that
All I see here is a manager saying that we aren't creating enough for our striker to score goals.. not sure what you see.
What's wrong with what he said? Every time our wide players play the ball it's to midfield runners. That's if they don't take the shot for themselves
There's a lot of valid discussion and criticism you can make of systems, but I've seen this type of thing from us for so long now where we do nothing in the first half, go a goal down and then play a bit better and snatch a win. It's actually not really that different to some games Ole and EtH managed over. I don't know why this side rarely ever starts games well.
I know yes and I thought we could do without him if a big enough bid (£60 million) came in.
Now I just get snide comments from @hellhunter and others every time he does something remotely positive.
It's quite weird.
Again, it's you wishing he'd be sacked. He absolutely would not have been sacked if we lost that game tonight.

I agree partly with this statement but players also need a striker that makes runs into space and is available to receive the ball the few times they do try and supply him instead of wrestling with the fecking oppositions back 4 all game.
Waste of time engaging in conversation with that guy. He thinks every manager's word is law because they're managers. He was a ETH supporter too. Never mind how the team is doing on the pitch, the manager is always right. As deluded as the duds we've hired as manager in the last 12 years.
United only ever seem to play football in second halfs when the team loosens up a bit from the original plan. He’s actually proven to be quite good at in-game subs to change it - the problem is the initial tactics nearly always completely misfires. It’s an issue.
No no, I'm not mocking you for him playing well, just for you being so cocksure that he's gone
Well it’s part of a reason yes he’s correct but there’s more to it also. He’s not going to destroy the lads confidence obviously . Wouldn’t expect you to see that though
Fair enough yes I understand he's being diplomatic but I'm saying that Hojlund just isn't good enough.
The club's broke, so whether we like it or not, he's going to have to work with what he's got
Agreed, and I don't expect Amorim's system to suddenly start to work wonders in August.
I thought at the time he would be sold. I was not right. Not really a big deal is it.No no, I'm not mocking you for him playing well, just for you being so cocksure that he's gone
You want him to say Hojlund is hopeless? He does not have the luxury of throwing any forward player under the bus as he has no other options.
He talks a good game in the interviews but I'm really not seeing much on the pitch to believe in what he's trying to do with this team
For the most part it isn't, but playing some of the players where he does is, everyone is mystified as to why Dorgu played on the right tonight when we've been crying out for a left footed LB/LWB all season
Why wouldn't he know what standard he is expected to deliver?
It's not likely the club hired him and were vague about what they expected.
It literally hasn't improved anything - not defence, attack, control
