    That just there just sums them up. De Ligt with a rubbish overhit sideways pass to Maguire, who foolishly leaves it for Maz to take and puts him under the pressure. They can’t even get the most basic stuff right.

    Its always the manager isn't it!

    lads, c’mon, if it’s not smacking you in the face by now. It doesn’t matter who the manager is. Its not gonna make a damed bit of difference.

    The manager is always vulnerable. If the ask is replace 20 players or replace 1 manager, the manager is always first to go. Rightly or wrongly.

    I'll admit I'm jaded on it at this point. Managers come in being bigged up as the next Ferguson, leave as clowns and frauds. The media newscycle usually takes 2 seasons but Amorim is speedrunning it.

    Like deja vu saying this - I don't see how Amorim can be blamed for Onana parrying the ball into a dangerous position and Maguire deciding to not attack the ball in his 6 yard box for 2-0.

    We haven't been overly bad, just lack of concetration and poor individual errors leading to two goals.

    Bayindir has been out injured for a few weeks. Not sure I would be throwing a young keeper into this mess.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,173 ✭✭✭NITRO95


    This is exactly it. Even simple things like passing to the correct foot of their teammates is beyond them. It's a squad of absolute nothing players and we've all been guilty of thinking they had more about them

    No it's the players but the manager is somehow getting less out of them than the last eejit so he has to accept responsibility.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,956 ✭✭✭el Fenomeno


    There's been a very distinct and noticeable "end days" feeling when you know the manager has lost the team (for lack of a better phrase). Saw it with Ole, saw it with Mourinho, saw it with ETH.

    This absolutely has that stank already for Amorim.

    I'm not sure on his motives. But he officially meet with representatives of West Ham about the potential role. I think the Liverpool job was gone for him as soon as they hired Hughes, and he made it clear that he wanted Slot.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,673 ✭✭✭✭FourFourRED


    My main source of blame is the club for not sticking to what they supposedly decided before the FA Cup final, which was to change manager. By not going through with it, they’ve set us up terribly this season. If they had agreed a deal with Amorim in late May last year, things would surely look a lot different now.

    the passes into Hojlund have been so bad. Beto gets great service to his head or feet whereas passes to Hojlund are a good 20 feet away from him or from where he’s running into

    Garnacho is our best attacker and he's left him on the bench 😏

    Gonna tell myself the players can’t see with the sun in their eyes and that’s why they keep going for the same ball and not because they just lack any sort of intelligence.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,468 ✭✭✭FrankN1


    Multiple players have been bought. Don't buy that we are this bad. Even with 11 reserve players, I'd expect to see a system, effort and control of the game.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 14,736 ✭✭✭✭JRant


    He needs to get Maguire off at halftime

    "Well, yeah, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man"



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,142 ✭✭✭Rocket_GD


    So that went well….



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,180 ✭✭✭✭Sand


    If we were 0-4 down after that half, there wouldn't be much cause for complaint. There has been a few flashes of half decent play mostly involving Dorgu. Other than that, really poor performance again.

    Tommy Frank or Southgate for the summer then.

    Its best to think Onana is just Stevie Wonder in disguise at this point.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,711 ✭✭✭Caustic


    Our 2nd and 3rd choice goalkeepers aren't available lads haven't been for a few matches



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 17,725 ✭✭✭✭cj maxx


    Not watching the game , or for that matter care , but this thread is on a loop . It doesn't seem to matter who the manager is he can't get those players to put a cohesive team together . Says alot about the management of the club from the top down .



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,297 ✭✭✭thefa


    Need Yoro on for either Maguire or De Ligt.

    Don’t care if Garnacho prefers the left, bring him on the right and take Zirkzee off with Bruno left to work with Dorgu.

    Bit more extreme but would be happy for one of the young lads to be given a half over Casemeiro.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,506 ✭✭✭Damien360


    Amorin is not even settled in. Surely the cost would be too much. It won't happen. Southgate should not ever be near a PL team, he hasn't earned the right. Thomas Frank is a different matter.

    At some point Utd have to wonder how so many managers keep failing to motivate a team and ask is it the team or a toxic group in the squad setting the tone. You can't keep changing management at the rate Utd have been doing and expect results. Utd fans are very impatient. It's going to take a "project" meaning years to change things.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,874 ✭✭✭✭pjohnson


    I think the 6th/7th choice might actually have a better idea how to be a keeper.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81 ✭✭richsull


    This is relegation form. Nobody seems to know how to fix it. Worst Utd side I’ve seen in 40 years.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,673 ✭✭✭✭FourFourRED


    Something that bothered me during the week.

    This chap has no intention of leaving this handsome contract he’s on. Comfortable is what stands out to me and p*ssed me off tbh. So many of this lot are happy to be comfortable when they shouldn’t be. It was mentioned in the past but there’s definitely a thing where players sign the United contract and think that’s it, I’ve made it now, the pressure’s off. Such an unlikeable group of players and it has been for a few years now.

    I feel like INEOS will slowly but surely change this culture, especially given what we know about Omar Berrada.
