Manchester United Thread 25/26 - Teamtalk/Transfers/Gossip Mod Note in OP 26.09.24

Onana, Dalot, Bruno, Hojlund all shocking today.

Wolves are awful and we were worse.

I'm busy for the next few games so won't see them thank god!

To take a different tack on it...

If you seen that very few of the players will suit you long term, what's the point in continuing to "misuse" them in such a style? Trying to embed a style on a bunch of players you'll want to replace ASAP?

I suppose the reality is he'll need 13 or so of these players to be capable in the formation for the next 18 months or so, then 8 or 9 etc etc.

Which of these players aren't good enough?

Zero improvement...if this continues we'll be on another Manager hunt soon...I really expected a new manager bounce but this has been a disastrous start

Next 3 fixtures: Newcastle(H) , Liverpool (A), Arsenal (A)

Won’t be long till the media start turning on Amorim. This club is cursed

At the moment I'd say we need new first choice lcb, lwb, rwb, cm, am and st.

So them? And certainly the replacements in most cases.

If any manager can get a tune out of the rubbish ETH left behind they'd be up for Sainthood for performing a miracle.

A very weak shot at Amorim.

Keeping ETH for the summer and trusting him swith money to make the squad even worse has set us back years.

Going by this forum alone you can see the seeds of turning on Amorim already with posts questioning why there isn't a new manager bounce as if the trajectory under ETH was going anywhere else. It's like some United fans still believe that this expensive squad riddled with junk and low intelligence footballers should be finishing in the top half of the table

I think it's sarcasm, the players are just awful.

We need to sign a lwb and a cm in January.

Not saying those fix everything but I think they are needed to have any chance of working this formation.

Ugarte is the only cm performing at the moment, and we look significantly weaker every minute he doesn't play.

The fear is that we just don't have the money to do it. And are stuck with wgat we have.

Just look at the subs that came on today to try turn things around, there was never any confidence in them from me.

Asking him to bring something to the party isn't "turning on the manager". It is simply the bare minimum.

Its like some people think he is brewing a secret cocktail out the back and when the time is right his new team is going to suddenly explode and take over the league, so we just have to ignore what we are watching and trust in the future cocktail.

Nah, doesn't work like that. Good managers improve teams and players, and the improved teams then start doing better and better over time.

Imo you could argue that a back 3 of martinez, mdl and yoro should work. Mainoo and Ugarte cm. Ineos would clearly have hoped Rashford and Bruno off the striker would have worked, dalot at wb (on paper) seemed a good fit.

On paper I thought we could have a good first choice in this formation.

Rashford and Bruno not doing it, mainoo looks terrible, martinez playing his worst etc etc.

When we hired amorim wb positions were where I had my fear, but everywhere has been crap.
