We rarely score from Garnacho either, he's our most wasteful player by some degree. It was a rubbish effort and the wrong decision, the lengths posters will go to in order to defend our most wasteful player is crazy to me.
I'd typically agree but their GK made Onana look like a golden glove winner. Think this game was crying out for more shots regardless of xg just putting the ball in their box and Vicario shat his pants.
 
Aside from running around a bit, what did he do? A lack of quality like always.
 
He may or may not become great but he and Mainoo both should leave this club

You are clearly biased and dislike the player. I am all for selling him this summer but there was nothing wrong with the decision to go for goal there 1-0 down with less than 15 mins to go in a final where we had hardly tested the keeper.

We can agree to disagree on it.
 
Garnacho and Amad should have been our wingers all season, with Bruno as #10 or part of a midfield 3 with Mainoo and Zirkzee as the focal point.

Instead we’ve pissed around all season with this ridiculous formation trying to fit players into positions they’ve never played before and completely wasted a years worth of development for the likes of Garnacho, Mainoo & Amad. Plus Zirkzee too really.

Garnacho not only not starting to today but also not coming on until the 70th minute, while Mount did his usual disappearing act, was scandalous. You can bet the spurs defenders were delighted.

The Spurs defenders would have been delighted no matter who we played. An ineffective Mount or an equally ineffective Garnacho. Hojlund who can't score or a half-fit Zirkzee.

The only player that worried them at all was Amad, but because the rest of our forward line is so rubbish they were able to double and triple up on him.

Garnacho had last season as a starting winger, and wasn't anywhere near good enough. He's played more this season than any other forward too, he's just been ineffective.

Coming on in the 70th minute is the best use of him, it gives him tired defenders he has a less slim than usual chance of beating. Unfortunately even with the freshness advantage he got nothing out of Porro.
 
He should have started. He plays much better as a starter and he was having an easy time penetrating into the box once he came on for the most part.

I just don’t see it with Mount who barely had a touch today. Maybe it’s just rust and he can prove me wrong with an injury free spell but I’m far more confident in Garnacho making something out of nothing than Mount.
 
To be fair amorims quote was ridiculous. As was his starting line up and subs
It wasn't. He was given a loaded question that was unfair on his players. In my view he defended his players by reminding them that Mount played a blinder vs bilbao and Garnacho missed sitters. Football is indeed like that.

Garna is incredibly wasteful too, I don't think there's much of anything with him on the pitch.

I actually really like the person, but I think the player isn't anywhere near good enough. It's irrelevant though, as I'd be just as frustrated with a player I rate making the same silly decisions.

It was a low percentage shot, would be scored 2 times out of every 1000 attempts. He'd need to take the same shot 500 times in order to score on average. To suggest that's a good use of a dangerous position with Dorgu free as a bird in the box is mind boggling to me.
 
Most dangerous player we had , still didn’t think he’d score but that’s where we’re at , clinging onto players that aren’t good enough but stand out amongst the least threatening team. Like a lot qualities about the guy but ultimately is he starting for : Real Madrid , Barcelona , psg, no of course not , but he’s our most direct threat , big hill to climb for us

Nope he could have easily answered it without bringing garnacho into. His comments generate too much attention and his incessant negativity can't be helpful for the team

Rarely seen a more obvious example of someone not knowing how to adapt to a new environment
 
Talent isn't worth the attitude he sometimes has and the circus he brings with his brother and this nonsense. Sell to Napoli in the summer. Cunha will be taking that left 10 spot anyway.

Would be typical United to spunk 60m+ on a "left 10" and sack the manager 10 games into a new season.

Garnacho was brought into it from the question
 
Will be sold soon regardless of if we won or not.
Will also go on to have a very good career.
 
Should have started or at least come on earlier. May well be sold in the summer but probably not for a big fee.
 
Like I said we agree to disagree. If it was Bruno there than I would agree, it was not

Bruno is a much better shot, so him shooting wouldn't have been quite so egregious.

It's very odd to me that you'd criticise a more likely scorer for shooting in the position, but you're happy with our most wasteful player wasting a golden opportunity to play a teammate through in order to shoot even though he's a terrible shot and the likelihood of scoring for a player who's an average shot is incredibly low.

I didn’t mean about shooting. I said I would agree if it was Bruno and not Dorgu, surely what was obvious
 
Couldn't care less. He's not got the right attitude for me. Being disappointed that you haven't started is normal, but he's been shit this season and Mount scored twice recently. He deserved to start even if it was ultimately the wrong choice.

It's a squad game. If you aren't a team player feck off.
 
Blows my mind that anyone would want a talented 20 year old who won the Puskas award last season to leave, while we keep hold of a shite manager from the Portuguese league, but that's our fanbase for you. Always giving the manager the benefit of the doubt while throwing our players under the bus. I hope Garnacho outlasts Amorim at this club.
 

Yeah he's gone. fecking feck. Getting rid of a top talent because he's a winger and doesn't fit this system. United moving to a system that doesn't use wingers. That doesn't like players running with the ball at defenders. Ugh. Don't like it one bit.

For his sake he should leave and so should Mainoo. We deserve Hojlund under this manager.

I know hindsight is funny but we would have been in a better position had we started him as number 9 or interchangeable position with Mount than hojlund but this manager does not have that flexibility.
 

He’s obviously frustrated and emotional over the way things have gone. Amorim’s comments on him missing the chance in the semis surely didn’t go well. Being 20 and missing out on a cup final is rough but he’ll learn from this and how to control his emotions better as he develops.
 
I do not like that much what he have shown so far as a player, mostly in his decision making, yet he still is very young and has some numbers and some matches where he did more than good.

Also at this point seeing how the team do not developed, the coach also has to be responsible for the level of confidence and state of many of his players.

So dunno, maybe he deserves another season?, yet if Ruben stays, looks like a bad mix and maybe a new team with more names he wants everything changes?.

The thing it's that Ruben certainly didn't earn that credit

The framing you're using, wow. You can have all the talent in the world, if you're not willing to fall in line and apply yourself it doesn't matter. Some genuinely terrible players have won the Puskas award, it's not a useful metric. The manager should have the benefit of the doubt in these scenarios, they are in charge not the players.
 
Without CL football now we might need to sell him in order to reinvest in the team properly. He's the only profitable asset we have besides the likes of Rashford.
 
Should have been brought on at half time. As for his comments, he probably hasn't got a future here anymore.

I can't recall if United were truly trying to sell him in January or it was just paper talk but I can see the Napoli rumours coming up at the end of the season.
 
Him not starting isn't a big deal, but I do think he should have been bought on at least 10 minutes earlier than he was.

I don't 'want' him to leave, but if we get a good offer and can use those funds well then so be it.
Yeah thats where I am. I think he should have started the final because he’s such a direct player and would have caused more problems than Mount.

The problems he’s had with both Amorim and EtH and all the social media stuff are worrying though. It’s up to the club and their judgment I guess.
 
He's an attacker who creates nothing. He can't beat a man and he can't get a good cross into the box. Maybe he'd do well somewhere else in a different system, but what we need from him he doesn't have.
 
Garnacho>Amorim

Shame

I've seen more of Garnacho even in his first 6 months more so than Amorim
 
If it's any consolation to him, he's played many of those league games and the final was another one. We've lost 1-0 to Wolves 1-0 Chelsea and now 1-0 to Spurs recently and lost 4 times to Spurs this season. I would've liked him to get more minutes but this is our season against PL opposition with many batterings by midtable teams and wastefulness.

Our players and manager are Europa level. People got excited by Mainoo playing Bucharest.
 
Would be typical United to spunk 60m+ on a "left 10" and sack the manager 10 games into a new season.

Oh its going to happen and will get rid of Mainoo too as Amorim hasn't a clue how to use him

Exactly, he clearly cares and he actually causes danger to the opposition. I would be extremely frustrated and find it hard to bite my tongue watching Hojlund get 70 mins when it was clear what he would offer and had offered for 45 mins in a must win game.

It may not be professional but it is passionate, raw and expected of a young player who is desperate to play.

Fans complain that players like Sancho are happy to pick up a wage for no effort but also complain about a player clearly desperate to play, feeling aggrieved and unhappy about not being trusted to play a meaningful part in a cup final.
 
Can't blame him for being mad that Mount started over him. If it had been Bruno in the left 10 position, understandable, but Mount is a different kettle of fish.

Yep! At least we know he gives a shit. Not a good look to say what he said but I can excuse it given the crap season and how hard he’s tried to work through his issues with the manager to earn playing time only to have him shit on him in the press.
