He got more than a bit lucky tonight it has to be said, Utd were woeful 45-110 until the chaos gods clocked in.

Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) discuss United's fantastic win away against Athletic Club in the semi-final of the Europa League.
They also pick out the positives of United's 4-3 loss away at Brentford, and Nik reviews a day out at Old Trafford watching Manchester United Women qualify for the Champions League.
How is he or any other manager supposed to mitigate so many individual errors? Can you tell me tactically what he did at 2-0 that contributed to their comeback?
10 year contract.
Back him
Back him
Yep.
Outplayed by 10 men. Delighted to be through but this was his cup final - just like ETH.
All part of his masterplan that game.
As soon as we went a bit more attacking Lyon couldn’t handle it, he must see that the 5 defender formation isn’t the best approach.
Fair question I assume. He really has to work with a lot of crap. Still I feel that the lack of bottle is also something down to the manager. But anyway. Thank God we won and I really hope we kick on from here.
Trust the process.
I don't mean he doesn't have his players. I mean he doesn't have the quality of players to be any higher in the league.
Yeah 7-6 against a team we should have easily beaten. Half hour against 10 men. Tough result is right.
Because he has to have 5 defenders on the pitch no matter what.
Wasn’t great but we should’ve been 4-0 up before they scored.
Yeah, same thing crossed my mind.
Just play 4-3-3, you stubborn bollocks.
Got the subs right
And what about all of the chances we created when we were 1) playing the 3-4-2-1 and 2) playing with intensity?
Just memory wiped because you have an agenda or what?
Instead of dick-riding the manager maybe some of you should give some credit to our players that you constantly slander to defend him, who pulled us out of that hole tonight.
Since day one.
How exactly did he get lucky? Individual errors and lapses in concentration were why we were in extra time to begin with. His sub scored the tying goal. You've been watching the players capitulate like this under his two predecessors so I'd think it could not be more obvious that we have a plethora of psychological issues and have had for years.
Maybe, Onana did make a couple of excellent saves even when Utd were playing well, but chances were there.
And put us in the hole.
Brilliant win, but what happened in that second half? Worrying. No control whatsoever.
This is also true tbf
Klopp was an overrated tuna tin opening teeth b*stard.
Yea i concur.
Most emotion I’ve seen from him so far. Even he couldn’t keep his cool! Let’s hope this is his turning point. He nearly fecked this game for us second half.
So did EtH vs Barcelona
Hes shite. Are you going to come with ‘it was all in the plan to concede two goals to ten men and come back like that’.
Happy we won but no different to the Liverpool comeback under ETH. A fluke comeback doesnt make the manager any good.
I will be very surprised if we manage to blag our way through another 3 matches to win this comp. Cos thats all tonight is, we’ve blagged it into the next round. The cat will run out of lives. I’ll be happy if it doesnt but cant see it
I only recall positive moments
great entertainment but let’s be honest, no way he’ll orchestrate a victory against Athletic who will be far better opponents.
Amorim needs better players next season.

I was calling for his head if we lost but by Christ I’m with him tonight. It’s a funny old game!
Garnacho had a great chance to seal 3-0 and it's game over. And he missed it, because it's 85% chance Garnacho misses.
He can never score that Mainoo goal aswell.
Hojlund as bad as usual.
Harry looks so much more dangerous upfront, really Hojlund should take a hard look at himself.
Lyon didn't deserve to win and got more than lucky with their goals.
Amorim can pull off the miracle and actually win this.

How many posts were there in the match day thread that went something like this when Cherki scored:
'Amorim Out'
'Sack him now'
'Amorim Out'
'Sack him now'
Big night for him. Easily 2-0 up and could have been more, silly goals conceded, didn’t even have a striker he could bring on, and then the fight and determination to come back and win. I’m happy for him, good bit of excitement
Yeah I guess people were right with the knee jerk comments then....
My favourite moment was when we trolled them by going 4-2 down
We've beaten better teams than them already this season, and it's knock out football. Anything can happen
Agree that we still need better players obviously

Some bastard even started an Amorim out thread
Bilbao needed a dodgy penalty to beat Rangers. This team should beat them.
