•For manager joining newly at a big club, public condemnation of your players in big 2025 would most likely cause more harm than good. It is even worse when the manager has ZERO EXPERIENCE managing big egos, superstars and Global household names. The "Hey guys, a new sherrif is in town. Y'all better shape up or ship out" approach would work better at places like Sporting where the players are relatively unknown, and the club under less scrutiny.

•There was absolutely no reason for his disparaging comments about Rashford in the public domain. It was so bad that he kept on talking about the fella even when that one had joined Villa. He literally made the whole thing look personal with his constant tirades and comments.
Guess who couldn't resist the urge to talk about Antony's performances at Betis?

•One would have thought that he was in a transitional phase at that time, only for him to open his big mouth and chat shít about Maino just last week. Did he need to insinuate that he is unfit for the system? Was the remark about him competing with Bruno for a slot necessary? I keep on wondering what has happened to the Normal "XYZ is a good player - there are enough games to go round for everyone" Mantra.

•Labelling your team as the worst in the history of the club,talking about endless suffering and threatening the players with clear outs would almost always complicate things at a big club. It is worse when the manager in question is new and has NO pre existing PEDIGREE or REPUTATION per say.

•All i see is a man trying to instill FEAR in his players. An Emotionally intelligent manager would be more concerned with RESPECT, especially under the aforementioned circumstances.

Thankfully, the man is aware that he can't change 22 players!

You're talking about what's obtainable in 2025 as per manger's treatments of players lmao. That's just an excuse to find particular faults in the manager.

Do you need a recap on Rashford's and Garnacho's transgressions immediately Amorim got there? I think they apologized but guess what Rashford did after?

So what you're saying is, he should keep a player with that type of level of influence in the squad because he doesn't want to give an explanation to the media as to what the reason is for that level of ruthlessness. What I understand about all these is, once you don't get results, everything you do will be considered totally wrong.

As for the Mainoo thing, he literally mentioned something we all knew right from the beginning.

Wtf didn't know Bruno was going to play the 2nd CM role and that's the only role Mainoo can play in the system. We've known this for months but Amorim suddenly mentions it and the Media plays their usual game and we all fall for it as usual. It's actually hilarious 😹.

Mrviktor:
It's how people are trying to make garnacho feel like a bad player.

We go cry big cry in 4 years time no worry


Macrominay and greenwood is just the begining

His talent is not enough to cover for the level of indiscipline from that brat.

And I don't think anyone's crying for Mctominay or Greenwood. Mctominay is in Italy balling. Good for him. Hojlund will probably do the same. Doesn't mean anything. As for Greenwood, no one doubts his talent. The reason for his departure is 100% on him. Not on the fans or the club or anyone.

Jamiuokolaa:
This is why man management is an extremely critical part of coaching nowadays.

It is so important that a coach with limited tactical abilities but has players willing to give 200% on his behalf, would go toe to toe with a tactical hybrid of Pep/Ferguson/Conte managing a group of world-class players that have downed tools!

There is a reason most clubs sack managers immediately they feel they have lost the dressing room.

Our man, from what we can see, is neither a tactical genius, nor a manager revered by his players (atleast from what he is insinuating).

This combo is a recipe for relegation.

Amorim didnt help matters with the way he managed certain scenarios last season and his pressers have also done more harm than good.

You think he's not a good man manager? I don't think there's any evidence of that. The level of indiscipline in the squad required the level of ruthlessness we saw from him.

You see, one thing I've learnt to do after seeing all the mess in the club over the years is to judge certain characteristics based on what I saw before they signed. I think Amorim is a really good man manager and has probably even relied on that more that anything else all through his coaching career. I think that's the reason he's shocked as to how things are unfolding. Players are not responding the way they should.

Do you look at Amorim and think he's not doing a good job, motivating these lots? Lmao. Let's be serious here. But they all go to the pitch and do whatever they want.

There's something seriously wrong with the club. The culture that makes some of our players e.g Mainoo, Amad, become shadow of themselves when they realize 'you have to fight for your place for now', 'you have to play at a different position '. They drop tools after little adversity. Same with the fools we just shipped out.

I could go on and on but what's the point. Sacking the manager will always be the 'exciting' thing to do.

I'm not even strong on Amorim in o. But there are some results against some opponents you see that you put the players and only the players on total blast.

A loss against a league two team isn't about tactics or any of that stuff. It's the players just going into it half-arsed. If Amorim can't motivate those brats to give their all on the pitch after that result, no one can.

People will just ignore all of that and jump on their favorite yearly thing to do. Which is to start expecting terrible results from a manager and then pounce when it eventually starts coming in.

FOLYKAZE:
Why living in Abuja? He should have moved to small down in the deep north

Lol he thinks he's safe enough in Abuja. Go wan live life small. I'm actually wondering how they got to him. Must have given his location out to someone close.

Clement1111:
This is how another housemate will use the Poverty card next year and win the show

BBN winners will always be predictable before week4 if biggie doesnt step up his game

cus you cant tell me that imisi in that house is same imisi outside the house with her nonsense dressing and pretending to be uneducated and poor

Lol you understand we mostly behave differently depending on the people around us. She's probably the top dawg among her friends and all so she acts differently around them. You'd understand if you've been in certain situations before. Btw, I'm not saying she's being genuine. Don't think anyone really is genuine. You think Kola doesn't know what he's doing also? It's a game.

CapitalCee:
This is one of the numerous statistics I have seen this season with Rayan Cherki in the company of some of the best players accross Europe. He was also the only outfield player who is not a PSG player who is in the Ligue 1 team of the season. His season G/A statistics is insane.
Whenever, you mention him among a player we should be all over in this our current state, some people will say he has attitude, when you ask them to state the bad attitude gan gan that he has, no answer. Man City is about to sign him now, when they sign him and he starts balling, they will blame the board for not signing him.
I was really surprised that Teilemanns was available on free after the relegation of Leicester, yet we didn't sign him. We are looking for the fancy popular players who will most likely flop.
When Klopp was buying Mane from Southampton, Salah a supposed flop at Chelsea, and Matip for free, many Man United fans laughed at them. My club will never be smart.

I think the issue with Cherki is mainly his physicality and how it'll translate to the premier league. Add that to the fact that we lack physical players in our team. I don't think it'll be the right fit.

Also I think time's proven it was the right decision not to go for tilemans. Last I checked, he's been subpar/mid since.

Geofavor:
The reason for not providing, you didn't say. But no qualms. Godspeed boss.

I believe if his father was capable to provide for the family and chose just not to, he'd have indicated.

The vibe he's giving is he hates his dad for being unable to provide(broke). Basically calling him useless for that. All the rant about the man has totally been about financial provision and nothing else.

If that's the case, the guy that talks about his Mom might not be totally wrong. You don't develop that kind of thinking without the mom rubbishing him over the years. Call him useless and unable to provide while she sweats to pay everything. Thereby developing hatred for the man.

It's really unfortunate. It's the first time I've ever heard anyone call his/her father/mother a fool and useless without any traumatic experience to back it up.

tensazangetsu20:
Someone’s only son went to another country to study and the fool never sent his son a single dollar. Never contributed a single dollar to the trip and other idiots are talking on this thread. I see what other fathers do for their children here and shame Dey catch me. If it’s who to marry first, e Dey sweet body but when it comes to responsibilities everyone disappears. Even God considers an infidel of greater worth than a Christian man who can’t provide for his family.

Bro, you have to come up with other reasons to justify the way you talk about your dad here. I'm sure there are certain terrible things that explains your perception of him. This one's just silly ASF.

Even if you post this on reddit, Americans that are usually even disrespectful will see this as absolutely stupid and out of order. No offense.

I honestly thought you'd say he didn't contribute a dime in your upbringing. But the reason he's a fool is he didn't send you a dollar when you traveled to Chile for education. Aren't you like 29 or something. Like you had a career before this.

You seem like an thoroughly educated person. Hope it's not this same 'fool' that put you through primary, secondary and tertiary institutions.

Tbh, if you can't point to something crazy he's done and those faults are all you can say, it'll mean you're a total ingrate that should really be avoided. Hopefully not.

Jamiuokolaa:
Baba i take God beg you, no support Amorim o

The last coach wey you support brought us to tears


Was kidding anyways

What are your expectations for this season and next?

Got no expectations in terms of where we finish on the table. Just expect the manager to have a full idea of what he needs going into next summer. That means every player that needs to leave and the ones we need to bring in.

If we go into next season making new huge awful discoveries personnel wise, I'll probably conclude he isn't the guy.

Y'all want the implementation of a style of play. Well, there you have it. It'll take time.

I remember Amorim said last season his players were so routined they could play with their eyes closed. Such level of efficiency will definitely take time. We'll probably get some other results like this but I'm sure Amorim won't switch anything.

Even some of the players some are already giving up on might end up being pivotal parts of the system when they're drilled on what's expected from them on the pitch.

In December 2024, someone's saying Rashford is our best attacker lmao. It's the same player worship that cultivated the useless culture we have at the club right now.

A player's dropped to pass a message to the squad. Everything never even digest and the fool went ahead to immediately approve the release of an interview that's been on hold for a while. Couldn't wait for all the noise around him to die down a bit.

How the fvck do you immediately integrate such a player back to your squad immediately.


This is why I never rated any of the nonsense y'all used to beat ETH down. In reality y'all don't even know what you're talking about. Discipline, control, favoritism, style of play, are all just words y'all throw around for fun.

CapitalCee:
This is on Amorim. You have Yoro, Garnacho and Hojlund on the bench. Yet he started Zirkzee, and Malacia . The earlier Amorim stop listening to idiots the better for him

You guys have started again. Analysing a game to you guys is all about who started and who didn't.

What did Garnacho and Yoro do when they finally came in? Garnacho that's always better coming off the bench came on and couldn't do one thing right.

jacy346:

Joezinho:
Valid. 📌

Stupid statement from someone that's never had any sensible thing to say about United.

I bet he wouldn't take any of that shit at Liverpool.

I hope we don't make any more signings like a Ronaldo ever again.

maik99:
Ten Hag kicked out Ronaldo, DDG and Sancho and was dragged for it lol

You kick one popular player out and you've already got a section of the fanbase as opps.

One of the reasons I wanted Poch over Ten Hag then was I believed it takes a certain type of personality to even stand a chance.

Kick out one player and you go dey shalaye for months.

Jokerman:
So you mean Conte, will do all these rubbish you typed now??

Conte?

superfelix:
Can never forget how this man came and chased De Jong for almost the entire transfer window. De Jong that won't even leave Barca.

I watch Dejong and I totally understand. He's really one of a kind. And didn't they have like a private verbal agreement? That's the reason he thought he'd be able to make the signing.

Like I said before, he had zero experience in transfers. So he probably handled it in such a way an Ashworth wouldn't. The club is just a massive mess.

MRTA7:
You're definitely right but you cannot deny a better manager will also do better than ETH with he resources ETH has been given. We lamented and blamed the Glazers for decades deservedly but ETH was one of their many missteps too. There were too many baffling decisions with signings which he was directly responsible for, tactics and mentality.

Which better manager? You think the same won't apply to whichever manager finds himself here.

Flick looked like an absolute fraud managing Germany. Throw him into the same situation he'd probably end up worse cuz with him it's either a success or total disaster. No in-betweens.

As for recruitment of players. Tuchel don't want any of that. So many of these top managers these days just want to coach and manage the players provided to them. Ten Hag made a big mistake with that one. But guess what? It's because of the recruitment history of the team he decided to he wanted to be in charge.

I just hope the recurring issues with the club get fixed so we don't find ourselves back here in 2 years time. Mainly, recruitment, sales, mentality and medical staffs.

Ten Hag has his own faults but I believe if we'd brought in any other manager 2 years ago he'd have failed also. That says a lot.

So I don't really care about who the next manager is. As long as Ashworth, Berrada and co perform at their jobs effectively.

We can't continue seeing a massive holes in the team and then go for different targets. How can you say we don't score enough goals and then go for a player like Zirkzee. We don't control games enough but your main target was Ugarte. And these are club signings.

So many things need to be fixed.

Tonyblinky:
Rude?
Not really.
I mean like the gatekeeper should be in a best position to give you better information about it.
Like me I don't even know what the program is all about and I care to know.

Shouldn't he get info from different sources?
It's that mindset that make some fall into the hands of scammers.

You get info from one person. You should get more info from different sources before making a decision.

So don't make a fool of yourself next time. Ignore if you've got no answer to certain questions.

maik99:
It was obvious from the start that we were going to have attacking issues this season, at least to reasonable people
That is asides ten hag’s own incompetence o

We won't buy everyone in one window na. No one even expected it to be this bad. Bruno and Garnacho the most surprising so far this season. They've been terrible.

nitrogen:
I thought we were doing the galatico thingy until Ineos came on board. At some point, we bought the best players in several leagues. Or what does galatico mean? Then you guys were saying we needed to build patiently, now it’s back to galatico style.

I honestly don’t know what you want!

It's not about what we want. We're only discussing what could be the solution to the constant issues. I'm not Woodward or Murtough.

And yeah, we tried something like that but we were getting the wrong players and it was hitting us badly. After signing 2 or 3 of those players, we go on a break the next window. Reason I clearly mentioned super rich owners.
