He is new but he is missing some players, who would have been better. Pep has lost 5 matches in a row because Rodri and KDB were missing.
Na Special Pep Apologists dey reason this particular excuse o

CapitalCee:
Although thats not the case for Amorim sha, his is introducing a new system and like he said the players are confused at times with the positions they are meant to be . And Ipswich town is not as bum as some people make them look, I watch their games they are actually a tough team to play.
I find it a bit uncomfortable that Ipswich town with just one win in 12 league games would currently be furious with themselves for missing out on 3 points yesterday

The bitter truth is that managers at Top clubs need to win certain matches even during the supposed implementation and perfection phases of strategies and tactics...it is part of what makes the job more difficult than managing Blackburn Rovers or Coventry City.

There would be games during which he would just need to be flexible and adapt to the strengths of the players at his disposal

It is what it is!

Hopefully, Amorim has taken some learnings from yesterday's game such that we are able to win the next one.

Lets not forget that we are missing certain important players like Mainoo, Ugarte didnt start, Martinez and Leny Yoro. These guys in the starting line up would have made the difference
You mean we need the full complement of the squad to beat Ipswich town? shocked shocked

We chastised people for giving such reasons during Ten hag's regime o

Let's limit the excuses to "the manager is still new" biko

Atleast for now

What result did he get in his first season?
He moved them from 4th finish the previous season to 3rd in the EPL and as we know, the rest is history

If they had fallen to 8th position, I am not sure city would have retained his services..even with a "playing style"

Like i said, it seems like some peeps here would be okay with a 13th position finish, as long as there is a "playing style" and that's what I find worrisome

Southampton have a clear playing style - their highline is arguably the most distinct in the whole of Europe but if care is not taken, na that same "clear playing style" go relegate them this season grin

I actually pity him. Plus the press won’t let him rest. Sky and Roy Keane literarily got him to blame the players today including name dropping some. He is really young and I am not sure how he will be able to control the dressing room with the incessant cho cho cho.

He needs to say few words and focus on getting it right. English press is a shark.
Lol

Amorim:
When you speak too much and you don't win, it's really hard for everybody. I just want to work with my players and nothing more, but I understand it's a different game here."

Amorim added that he will ask United's head of communications, Andrew Ward, to limit his interview engagements moving forwards so that he can focus on the first team squad.

But ETH won trophies
No need to try and trivialise the matter - everyone know say EPL na the koko cheesy

Van gaal also had a pattern but he simply wasn't winning and was kicked out

Below is an excerpt from an Interview with one of the most successful managers in the history of the sport
Pep Guardiola:
We don’t have time – you have to win and get results, and convince the players it’s the best way. Results help you to convince them much easier. It’s a process you have to prove every day

Ellexy:
So he should abandon his style and improvise to get results like Ten Hag?
When you win football matches / trophies at a top club, a supposed style would be associated with the team by the press and fans, even if it's not entirely true /correct cheesy

As boring as LVG's possession football was, I am sure it would have been labelled "military tiki taka" or something related, and LVG would have been praised as the inventor, if only we were winning matches and trophies that year

Amad is not a wingback, Amorin should not make that mistake again.
Rasmus and Zirkzee are not United level players, kudos to Ipswich for putting up a wonderful show...
You are trolling your new manager? grin

They are not worse but it will be difficult to train them to play in the way you want the team to play. When you can't train them, they can't execute your style. What do you suggest is done in this instance?
All these talk and emphasis about playing style is making it look like we would be comfortable with a playing identity..even if we are not winning football matches

Flexibility and adaptability are key for a manager at a PL big club because Las Las - it's the ability to win football matches that would make a manager secure his job.

We keep on referencing Pep yet we seem to forget that the same Pep has tweaked his style to suit the PL

It's still early days sha

With which players? The same ones we have been complaining about? You want to see something from these players? Amorim the miracle worker
I didn't know our players are worse than Ipswich town's

So we have been parading div 5 players?

Step by step.

What do you expect to be achieved this season?
I expect to see signs that, by next season, we would be comfortably and consistently winning football matches..especially vs minnows like Ipswich town

The goal is to weed out the players Nothing concern me and top 4 or trophy. The players have shown that they are not fit for anything. No need romancing the situation
The ultimate goal is to win football matches and trophies in the long run o

God bless you... I was shocked when some peeps were calling for us to switch to a more familiar formation. We should continue this until we weed out all the useless players.
I don't have any preference for any particular formation but Las Las, I think we need to keep in mind that tactics are a means to an end o

I am not sure a new manager was brought in solely for the purpose of implementing tactics but not winning matches

Excuse of a bad worksman. He will always blame his tool.
When Pep loses in the CL - it's because the EPL is weak

When Pep is being rodded at home in the same weak PL - it's because Rodri isn't playing grin

No Rodri
Is that why they are being rodded violently, despite spending millions in recent TWs?

If Pep didn't extend his contract, I know your excuse would be that he is bored of winning.

I never see where dem dey probe the goals of golden boot winner before for my life
One of you confessed he scored a hat trick against Liverpool. Five goals in a match easy na hen dem no dey score am against relegation fodder teams every season😂
I didn't formulate it - it's a general term used to describe players who target lower teams but are literally useless at the biggest stages...

GBAbertov specialised in dominating useless relegation battlers at OT..no wonder he couldn't even start most biggest games

Highest goalscorer in the league yet he couldnt even make the match squad in the CL final for that same season - BerbaFLOP for a reason

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by adisaaowala:
maik99:
Your logic makes no sense and you are trying to spin your argument with ad hominem. A lot of people would kill to have the kind of individual and team achievements that Berbatov got at man united ffs! “..He did not do anything..” as how
Which achievement biko?

In the season where he was EPL top scorer, 8 of his 20 league goals came in useless 7-1 and 5-0 wins vs Relegation battlers at Old Trafford.

This was someone who wasn't even deemed good enough to start in numerous key matches

GBAbatov was a flat track bully at UTD abeg - he legit failed to live up to the hype and expectations

Ghostominay. But is it that none of the coaches has noticed this ni? He does not give his team mate who has the ball a good angle to pass to him. He stands in a straight line behind the opponent hoping that the ball miraculously passes through the opposition players to him.
Dude na another Tom Cleverly jare...

He even seems to be worse sef.

Atimes i wonder what our coaches see in these kinda players sef.

Under ideal Circumstances, Mctom should only ne coming in at the 90th minute to see out a 3-0 lead - some form of game management.

Rangnick: "They [Bruno & Sancho] almost played like wing-backs. Especially in the first-half, Alex [Telles] and Diogo [Dalot], did extremely well offensively and that's why I played 4-2-2-2. I'm a big fan of every player plays in his best possible position."
If this man is to stick with this formation, AWB go chop bench taya be that.
