General Premier League Thread 2024-25

Well that's where Man United are(13th).

Man City make it 2-0.

City will finish top 3,maybe even top 2

That's enough of that I think. 3-0 Man City. No point watching it if it's not going to be competitive.

I said they're winnable not that they'll beat them

I'm saying that the upcoming fixtures are set up well to get back on track

As they are only 6 behind Arsenal and Forrest now and assuming Halland and Foden etc stay in form for rest of the season , I’d say it’s nearly a short odd bet they will be second. As Liverpool fan I’m very glad we have the 12 point gap with a game in hand

Worst Team in the history of Man Utd,according to Amorim.

We are the worst team maybe in the history of Manchester United. I know you want headlines, but I am saying that because we have to acknowledge that and to change that."

Roy Hodgson used to be at this type of stuff with the media when he was manager of Liverpool. The job was too big for him and his losing mentality.

I give him 18 months. A losing mentality won't win much.

I think that’s too harsh on Amorim. He doesn’t have a losing mentality, he just doesnt have the players.

He is able to get them organised enough and to work hard enough to get results against Liverpool and Arsenal, but he hasnt been able to get them to play the way he wants on the front foot. That’s largely because the players arent good enough, or perhaps he hasnt enough good players who also fit his system.

In particular, i dont think he can be properly judged until he has players he wants at wing back, 9 and 10.

I dont personally like his system, but thats probably because i dont understand it. Like i’ve no idea how he’d fit Salah into it if he had him. Also, while Amad is a super player i think you’d get even more out of him in a ‘normal’ 4-3-3. Garnacho too. I’m confused as to why when Amad is playing wing back he doesnt play on the left to provide width and to create chances by getting balls in from the left into the two 10s and the 9. (Obviously when Amad plays 10 he is better on the right so he can cut inside).

But Amorim clearly has confidence he can get his system to work.

😂😂

He looks like a manager under serious pressure.

Ange has been in his job two years not two months for a start, also a set formation doesn't mean they only play one way that is nonsense, Ange gets called out on that not because of a formation because he goes all from start to finish never trying to get control of a game.

Amorim makes change within the formation, sometimes he plays more attacking players or more defensive players in certain positions, he has gone between mid blocks and high pressing, he has made subs and changes in games to go more attacking or more defensive.

What you are saying is absolute nonsense and I'd say you haven't seen many united games under amorim

I find this amorim fella absolutely bizarre. Not even trying to win games in a style that suits the squad just so he can show I will do it my way, I'd be worried as a united fan if my manager was so one dimensional. When did it become ok to lose games?

As I said call me old fashioned but a manager should get the best out of the squad, create a winning mentality, not perform worse than the last one. I pretty much saw Klopp do that from minute one.

Why would ineos bring in a manger who doesn't suit the squad at all?
