If you want to beat man utd, show any amount of aggression at all. Its that simple. We're absolute cowards.

Absolutely right. Aggression and a half arsed press is enough for this side to crumble.
Even Alan Smith in commentary can see it...

 

[Woodzy]

This team manages to surprise me with how bad they are every week

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

Blocked shot after blocked shot

 

[Roboc7]

We’re finishing 4th from bottom and won’t win another game league this season, utter shite.

 

[Dudu]

Awful shots as usual, but finally a good passage of play/

 

[JBG]

That was 2 of the weakest shots ever from our players...

 

[Ollie Derbyshire]

Need to switch Mainoo and Bruno, Mainoo and Casemiro in a midfield 2 is never going to work.

We know this but we keep trying these things.

 

[Woziak]

Not an awful start. We're just lacking going forward. Don't really know what else to say - it won't change until the personnel improve.

Trust me this team needs more than new personal, the belief has gone out of the squad, as soon as they go 1-0 down, they go into their shell, Amorim has sucked the confidence out of the squad and most of them will still be here next year!

Look how deep we are again as another team’s full backs push our team into this disastrous 5221 narrow defensive formation. Which is so easy to play against.

This is f…..embarrassing football by a team that genuinely might get relegated next season under this coach playing this way. Amorim needs to work out by the end of the season or he’ll last less than 8 matches next season.

 

[Tom Van Persie]

Going full on RAWK.

The player performances forum has been locked during games for years. The manager thread is no different.

 

[VP89]

It’s the constant of yet another manager wanting their own players even if what we have in place is better, said ever since we played with wing backs that Amass should play more and if you compete Amass and Dorgu performance wise it’s clear Amass is better.

Theres no evidence that Amorim pushed Dorgu on the recruitment, is there?

 

[Ludens the Red]

I mean I know what I’m watching here yet post match in the ‘Amorim thread’ and ‘post match thread’ I know I’ll see several posts talking about how we’re actually playing better and you can see signs of positivity.

I feel like I’m being gaslit when I read this forum at times

 

[KD6-3.7]

The club puts training videos out every week, and they basically consist of ten minutes of playing rondo. Then come match day, it's like they've never passed a ball to eachother.

Have you seen our Rondo's compared to any other top European teams? It's actually embarrassing watching those clips. Most of these players have such poor technical ability it's no surprise why we are where we are.

 

[eire-red]

The contrast in pace, physicality and running power between us and Bournemouth is pretty scary. It's why teams like them and Brighton have our number ever season.

 

[SER19]

Absolutely right. Aggression and a half arsed press is enough for this side to crumble.
Even Alan Smith in commentary can see it...

We're pathetic and a very hard team to support at least in terms of the qualities I find admirable. We look terrified of any sort of contact.

 

[astracrazy]

We’re finishing 4th from bottom and won’t win another game league this season, utter shite.

The Amorim effect

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

Corner Utd and all the way back to Onana

 

[thisisnottaken1]

Those who want to give this guy a stab at next season I can only conclude must be masochists.

Do you really think that if we got another manager we’d actually be better? We’d be better for a few games or so and then the usual shot would happen.

 

[Hammondo]

Bruno has been proper shite.

He's easy to press.

 

[ha_rooney]

Got to score

 

[KStandBarmyArmy1993]

I am not saying he is good or he is gonna be good or he needs time.

Just that it's hard to see a new signing turn shit this quickly, like I am just hoping that we didn't sign another dud.

He might turn out to be good but I'm still not convinced we should have spent 30 million on a lwb in January.

We needed another attacking player, especially once it became obvious that Rashford and Antony were leaving.

 

[kouroux]

Agreed, but also easier to do when you're pumping it to Mateta.

Not so much to the worst aerial front-line in the league.

I read on the caf that Mateta would be an underwhelming signing

 

[Dudu]

Feck off Kepa.

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

Garnacho has to score that

 

[Bole Top]

I almost forgot how their GK looks like, that's how rare it is for us to test him.

 

[Tom Van Persie]

Great ball from Bruno.

 

[LukeChadwick36]

The first signing made under this manager, too. We purged the side of any wide attacking options to scrape the pennies, just to get this. Super worrying signs.

Im hoping that the scouting director Steve Brown leaving is a sign the club are sick of our shite recruitment.

Used to laugh at that scene in Sunderland Till I Die when the scouts have Ibra on the board for available strikers with them staring down relegation to league 1.

Thats honestly the level of incompetence i expect is happening at Utd.

 

[sammyhol]

The players are crap.

But so is the system.

Anyone who thinks a few signings is gonna have us playing good football is off their head.

There isn't a single advantage that it gives us other than an extra CB

- Harder to play out

- Easy to press

- No overlaps in wide areas

- Isolated front man

- 2 man midfield getting overrun

It's crap

 

[Shark]

Do you really think that if we got another manager we’d actually be better? We’d be better for a few games or so and then the usual shot would happen.

I'll take that over losing and being shite for 90% of league games.

 

[JBG]

Garnachos finishing is so shit

 

[hellhunter]

That was a fantastic save. Twat.

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

Well, that was unlucky.

 

[fps]

Hasn’t had one ball passed to him

While I sympathise with that, I note that the good PL strikers make things happen for themselves, in terms of positioning, touch, movement, making themselves available, etc.

 

[elmo]

We seem to be the only team that makes this formation, our managers speciality, look this terrible to be fair. The Italians, Leverkusen, Wolves, Palace all look solid playing it

Our players are fecking unathletic for some reason.

Their physical standards would look poor even in the 80s when players were chain smoking and chugging beers like it was water.

We can blame the scouting, but even athletic players come to us and end up broken within 6 months.

 

[Castia]

There’s been some shit since 2013 but we’ve never been this bad. It’s absolutely shocking. The squad is poor but we’re on for a 17th place finish It’s inexcusable

 

[DrRodo]

What a ball from bruno. Credit to kepa

 

[FrankDrebin]

Pass forward to go back.

 

[Mmm-Qatarian]

Feckkkkk

 

[Jev]

Do you really think that if we got another manager we’d actually be better?

Given that we’ve become much worse than ever before since he took over, it’s hardly an outlandish idea

 

[Offside]

Amorim has done absolutely nothing to improve us. This is the worst Utd I've ever watched.

Needs transfers to be able to do that.

 

[Litch]

Needs to score
