You’d have to be wondering if Amorim is the tactical genius he is made out to be if he is looking at team sheet and thinking there’s no issue with Casemiro and Erikson starting together.
Poor auld Zirksee fucked under the bus then. Like taking off your corner forward when you are being cleaned out all over. He is rubbish, but again Amorim is looking at him every week and picked him. Didn’t have the bottle to take off Casemiro, easy pick on the young lad.
He’s heading towards bluffer status at this stage. The only thing that might be his logic is to force Jim to spend a few bob in January. But good luck with that I’d say. Jim will have him double jobbing as the tea lady the way things are going.
Is there no young fellas in this famous academy they could give a go. They couldn’t be worse than that 11 surely.
The cycle of hope turning to despair seems very short this time. You’d think that wouldn’t be as funny. But it somehow is funnier
Around the year 2000 you could make a case united were the biggest, best run, and wealthiest football team on earth. They had the best team and stadium in England (by far).
The team and stadium are now quickly finding their true place in the league
He’s quite clearly punching holes in the roof that weren’t even there to try and bully the UK Government into paying for a new 4 billion pound stadium, not caring that this would break UEFA rules on state aid to football clubs because he plans that Manchester United will be the football regulators from now on through a 10 team European “Super League” with no relegation.
It’s like Manchester United is being run by this Elon Musk spoofer and his “DOGE” nonsense.
It’s all well and good having an ethos which he believes will work but he hasn’t the tools available to implement that.
Surely it was a season to see what he had playing a style his squad could at least be competitive playing. Keeping the supporters happy was surely a massive factor too.
It appears he’s happy to dig in and claim the players need to evolve & his system is non negotiable. This habit of continually taking defenders off too is bizarre. He must know his best available Central Defenders by now?
The man needs to be far more pragmatic in his setup while he determines his next moves in the squad, not much good being in a relegation battle and hoping to attract talent either.
