Every couple of years we go from one hyped coach to another hyped coach, and they all struggle. The coach can't be the only problem.

We have spent several years accumulating players that are too weak, too slow, not technical enough, or not intelligent.

If our players play at the tempo Brighton or Newcastle play at for 3 straight matches, at least 2 of them will have either a heart attack or a stroke.

The quality of a player dictates how much you should pay for him. It is only at United that the order is reversed and how much you pay dictates the quality you expect from the player. If you pay 100m for a 30m player, his quality will not magically improve to match your fee.

If Amorin has any sense he should slowly integrate the younger players into the senior set up so we can plan for next season. This season don lazzident tey tey.

I know management are responsible for negotiations but the coach too can't be excused...Antony is a case in point where Bin Laden sat and watch the club pay over the odds. I think at that point a coach can say to the management that if you have 100m, why not we get 2-3 players of lower profile though still of quality.

What i am saying is we should not lose focus. Majority of the blame belongs to the management for the fees we pay for players.

Remember that there are staff members who wake up in the morning and go to work 9am to 5pm on every weekday like you and i, and their only job is to identify and analyze potential player acquisitions and also to negotiate smart contracts for the club. You now want to shift focus from them and absolve them of blame for their primary if not only duty and focus on a coach who has other more pertinent issues to tackle.

I will blame a coach for poor tactics, poor coaching, poor substitution or in-game management, poor man management. In ETH's case i will also blame him for poor talent ID and player profiling because he had the power to influence those things. The majority of the blame for the amount we paid for those poor players though, has to go to those who are paid to handle that aspect.

patrickmuf:
The management acts on the recommendation of the coach. If a coach opts for high profile players or insist on certain players with a level of certainty then, the management in order to ensure they are not accused of not backing the coach might just do his bidding.

Negotiation of money is by management. If the coach insists on Musbau Alagbe from Kwara United and the management bids 100m for him is it the coach's fault? The same Musbau Alagbe that Man City or Liverpool will get for 25m if their coach insists on him. .

You can't place most of the blame for the culture of wasted transfer money and wasted salary increment on anybody else but the management. The evil that Woodward and his boys did in that club will take maybe 2 generations to rectify. The people who enabled him are also complicit.

Leyqute:
Afrodoc2 can you imagine?

That Rotherham coac is not well.

The guy is a mumu.

I think we should just keep Gore here with the first team until his contract expires next year. The loan deals have derailed him completely. Na one injury to another.

If he stays here, it is either he somehow stays fit and impresses our coaches or at least we give him access to superior medical facilities until he fully recovers and finds a decent club.

kizolo:
Imagine sanctioning the signing of a 30 year old for £70m on a 5 year contract worth £350k a week. These ups fit make person cry

The club has been mismanaged in an incredible fashion for years. We have slowly and methodically replaced bad players with worse players for a decade. LVG's team will beat this current team minimum of 3-0 even if they play 5 times.

Ellexy:
Casemiro:

"Above all, I respect #mufc, a club to which I'm very grateful. I have a year and a half left on my contract and I'd like to fulfil it here in Manchester.

I'm comfortable here and so is my family. They've adapted, we speak English. I'm very grateful to the Old Trafford fans and to the club. I'm happy at club level."

The man came to us to retire.

Well played by him. I can’t knock his hustle. Maga go alway fall, guyman go always chop.

Englishisamust:
@afrodoc. I go watch Antony highlight for last 3 matches I was so disappointed. Make he shaa dey score so that we can sell him to Chelsea!!! . But the aura is there

You sef feel am ba?

The guy’s aura sef get him own aura.

You are on to something magical. Chelsea should buy him. Antony on the right. Sancho on the left.
Dem never born the defence wey go withstand them.

We are not getting relegated.

People are panicking because they are applying Top 4 and title chasing metrics. Those teams in the relegation zone are there for a reason, namely that they struggle to get points. That 12-point gap between us and Ipswich is like 24-point gap in a Top 4 battle.

Ipswich that will struggle to get to 30 points at the end of the season.

The league season ended some time ago. The only thing to do now is to avoid scandalous defeats. Give a few youth players minutes here and there at the end of games to see who can make the step-up next season and thereby save us some money in the transfer market OR put a few of them in the transfer window for PSR sales.

Englishisamust:
Antony for balloon dor!!! Just 3 matches he has made yamal, mbappe and vinicius know that there is level to this game!!! . The Aura is crazy!!!!

You sef don dey feel the aura. Aura wey pass aura. Aura wey get him own aura.

MRTA7:
The team is directly tied to Bruno's performance. When was the last time we played well when Bruno wasn't on form?

CM is a priority next season. There is no single central midfielder in the club that i trust to thrive in this 2-man midfield system.

TrebleChamp:
Amorim is vexing me like this, he should bring on Kone or Moorhouse for Case. What is he scared of at this point...

Zirkzee played better when he moved into CM than Casemiro.

We should just be using Casemiro to complete training teams. He should not step on the pitch again for us.

Meanwhile the number of times Bruno gave the ball away in those last 20 mins was incredible.
Zero composure.

larride:
This man has no intention of playing any of these boys.

I told you guys. They are there as a last resort so that at least we will have a bench.

Casemiro has been serving crap all game. Sleeping on duty on and off the ball several times.

Radio silence.

Leyqute:
Okay. Thanks. I was expecting to see him on the bench today at least.

Not after playing full game yesterday. I also think Heaven will be the LCB cover in the senior team for now.

Leyqute:
Afrodoc2 is Kukonki injured?

No. He played Under-18 yesterday.

With the Geaven transfer it means Kukonki has slipped down the pecking order.

He just turned 17. Heaven and Fredricson are the most experienced CBs in the youth setup and are more likely more ready for senior football.

larride:
Which one be GiGO player again ehn Doc?

Garbage in, Garbage out.

larride:
Yes but no option on the bench.

Me I will prefer Zirkzee to Hojlund though.

Both Zirkzee and Hojlund are GiGO players. I prefer Hojlund for this game only because of the country-sized space that Spurs will leave behind.
Space that Zirkzee can’t capitalise on.

The bench will be filled with academy players but I expect Amorin not to use them unless absolutely necessary. Don’t be surprised to see us use only 2 or 3 late subs today.

larride:
Na to tighten our seatbelts oo. Our lamentations will be televised.

We can play Cas and Bruno in midfield, Garnacho and Eriksen as the 10s with Hojlund as CF.

Dalot RWB. Dorgu LWB.

de Ligt, Maguire, Yoro/Maz at CB.

larride:
When he’s not mad.

Dorgu has played those positions before. It is not ideal but at this stage with the injuries we have and the poor form of the other attackers it might have to be done.

patrickmuf:
It's just Amad's absence that is worrying because there's no replacement for him. Also, I hope Amorim doesn't play Dorgu out of position again, even though he might be tempted to have Dorgu play upfront to replace Amad...

It would not be so out of place to play Dorgu in attack since Amad is out.
We don’t have too many options in the attacking areas. If Amad is gone and you want Garnacho to come off the bench the options are limited.

Dorgu played both left and right wing for his former club even though his primary role is LB.

larride:
We still Dey play matches this season? We never forfeit the rest of the season?

The Premier League rejected our application.

Leyqute:
Unfortunately we don’t have pacy forwards that will exploit that high line. Or more aptly put - pacy forwards with sense.

Don’t be scared. Jack Moorhouse is here 😀

patrickmuf:
I don't think we can get a result today.

The hope is that we don't get embarrassed. At least most of our defenders are available. Play a mid-to-low block and exploit that suicidal Spurs highline.

diggz:
Abeg bros allow him to breathe small. By the way, Afrodoc2 don authorise sterlings transfer to united by next transfer window. Calma calma

Na nitrogen get power to hire and fire. I am just an ordinary fan.

CapitalCee:
Aright, although I think majority of them are still premature for forst team football

And you would be correct.

larride:
We are already cooked. E no go better for iNEOS mehn. What an atrocious squad planning.

There are levels to cooking. We can go from medium rare to very well done in a jiffy.

MRTA7:
I mean we already had a thin squad then we let Rashford and Antony go without replacements. It doesn't take a seer to know this could very easily happen. In an already disastrous season.

This is going to be by far the worst season we have had in several decades. We are 1 or 2 more injuries away from having to recall our on-loan players.

If Garnacho gets injured, we are cooked.

Ibime:
Conspiracy Theory life no easy. It's hard out here for a pïmp

Seunpapa65:

Mainoo also injured for a few weeks.

Chido Obi, Moorhouse, Kone, Amass, Harrison all travelled with the first team to London.

Wahala! Wahala!! Wahala!!!
