Are we playing better today or Real Sociedad is just pants?

odizeey:
Seems so.
They should find somewhere to fit him in. He get small hope.

I think he is currently playing his best position. Just behind the striker with freedom to roam

Zirkzee the most skillful player on the team?

The only kind of coaches that can work with these kind of players are those coaches comfortable with coaching small clubs, clubs with no ambition aside making top 10 or staying up. So if they want to sack Amorim and bring in another coach, they should not waste people's time and just go for those kind of coaches

iamoyindamola:
He's figured they are mocking him finally
At the end of last season, the pundits, we and everyone agreed we needed a striker and saka deputy to complete the squad
Only for us to see calafiori a defender and another midfielder because you want to satisfy your own ego.
You sold all the other attacking players we were managing, this is someone that indirectly throw the board under the bus during pre and post matches
If chido and dubbery didn't leave Ethan and MLS won't be forced on him and MLS won't be covering for calafiori flaws(we got him for 65m) no difference between him and zinchenko, if not for MLS partey would have gotten a permanent position at RB while timber will play lb
Next season transfer is already looking shaky because he needs another lb meaning he will either get a CF or RW
Slot was a nobody and will win epl on his debut, this is for those asking who will be arteta replacement.

He signed Sterling. Is he not an attacker?

What we played today is not different from what we played last year and the year before that. Where has it gotten us? Why are those players still here?

Bombblacks:
Haven't you heard. The squad is not good enough to win against the likes of palace, Fulham, Bournemouth, etc. Infact there's no point in us winning any game this season at all because it might affect our future or something like that. Like Eph said what is the point in winning and climbing up the table when we can just keep on losing while preparing for next season. We need at least 8 new players in August before we can finish in the top 10.

What's the point in doing everything to keep the players that should not be kept? Why do you want miracle wins that do nothing but create some false hope only to crash the next year? Are you not tired?

Bombblacks:
I know you were hoping we would lose. Seems when we lose our future gets brighter to you.

LMAO

Bombblacks:
Which players did he use today? The Eriksen and Casemiro midfield combo that everyone was dreading before the game why it was it descent? Like I said before get the minimum from your available players and get freaking results.

And then what? So you can end in the top half of the table like Bournemouth?

Ray07:
injuries man and tired legs in the MD. Counter football for now.

I agree

larride:
We would’ve destroyed Arsenal in the second half if we have competent strikers.

Not everything is formation, but some people just hear formation and conclude that that's the problem

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Then una need wingback who can contribute to the attack during counter attack. Dalot no follow

Everyone knows Dalot should be sat on the bench for a couple of weeks at least, until he rediscovers himself or sold off

Oasis007:


......and some fans are ok with it, thus Amorim must abandon his own philosophy for it. LOL!

They don't think far. If they calm down to analyse our current position in terms of players and their strength, they will know that most of these players have to go. Its cute playing counter against LFC, Arsenal and City, but the rest of the league, no an. We should be thinking forward, not backward

ChristineC:
maybe Amorim should keep it that way. let's see out the season anyhow 🤷

I agree with you but Amorim is determined to prove that the team is irredeemably useless

These guys have just proved again that they are only comfortable playing low-block counter-attacking football. See how threatening they were in this game

My God! We should be winning this match hands down

odizeey:
We don't need any new signings.
Let's just sack the coach

problem solved

nitrogen:
Onana saved us points? Where and when? Abeg!

See facts

nitrogen:
Which goalkeeper is okay? Except you are trolling. Do you know how many points we’ve dropped because of Onana? I don’t like him one bit.

You're the one trolling now. Do you know how many points Onana has saved us? What has the striker done?

Raya has really saved Arsenal this second half

nitrogen:
Unlike you, I don’t have issues with all or most of the players. Everyone knows that we need another GK, but not another squad.

I think the goalkeeper is okay. We don't need another GK, we only need another striker

nitrogen:
This is actually true, especially with Onana, I don’t trust him at all.

The same players you want them to sack the coach for? continue

MRTA7:
Eriksen and Casemiro midfield. No thanks.

Won't bother watching.

Why? Are they not the players bombblacks want the coach to get the maximum of out of?

Bombblacks:
The minimum thing a coach has to do is get the maximum out of his current players which amorim is not doing. Getting the maximum out of your current players is not overperformance, it's the minimum and that was why Erik was sacked. His replacement is even doing worst and rightly being called out.

Erik was one of those responsible for why we are currently in this position.

Bombblacks:
Will that change the fact they used average players to over perform? Are those clubs not bottom half clubs on a norms.

We are tired of seeing that kind of performance. Just two seasons ago, we were comfortable in the top 4. A season later, under the same manager, we managed to finish 8th. Some months later, he was sacked at 13th or so. We don't want any rubbish overperformance

Bombblacks:
It's definitely the job of the coach to tell his players to run and follow his instructions. It's definitely the job of the players to get the best out of his players like those coaches at Bournemouth, Fulham are doing with more average players. How many of those players would you have taken before the season started over the ones at United?

Feedback and reaction will always tell if a transfer window has been satisfactory or not. You are on talking about a player being a success while I am talking about recruitment. You are mixing things up.

Don't worry, very soon the Bournemouth and co will be stuck at the bottom half of the table, maybe you will change example by then. We have seen this too many times

I remember when Ange was the darling of many of us, probably including me, that year. We were saying that he just came in and implemented his style immediately. Baba is sharing bottom table with us currently.

What some of us fail to understand is that some teams may punch above their weight once in a while, but very soon they will find their level and begin to fight relegation battles. What we want for Man Utd is not some false form or for us to think we can finally compete only to find ourselves struggling to enter top 6 the next year.

Bombblacks:
The squad even being average at best according to your words is not a 10th to 20th place team. The Manager and the team are greatly underperforming.


At the time of those recruitment what was the general conscious here. Were people happy and satisfied or not ? That's how you judge a window not looking back 3 to 5years with insight. We have spent lots in these past 5 years and if we haven't gotten value for money then it's down to the coaches who were given the players they asked for and couldn't use them.

Which of those signings were you excited for and why?

Bombblacks:
Before you back a coach despite having poor results you must have seen something from his previous teams to give you the confidence that yes, if backed with his players he will turn good or you have seen something from his current team that he is trying to implement which is not working due to not having his players for that style.

You know what I'm not backing?
1. Hojlund loses almost every ball sent to him. He can't hold off any defender and protect his ball. This has nothing to do with Amorimball or formation
2. Onana making silly mistakes including conceding directly from corner
3. Maguire pulling attackers shirt in the box or failing to properly set offside trap
4. Dalot inability to defend and attack properly. He has been here for years and still fails to make the best decisions 9/10
5. Lack of control in the midfield. Bruno is not someone that wants to control the midfield. He is best known for trying his quick passes to release attackers. Best suited for teams that prefer to play on the counter
6. Garnacho missing clear chances and being selfish 100% of the time. This has changed a bit and probably improving but he is still far away
7. Our first team attackers are Garnacho, Zirkzee, Hojlund and Amad. Amad is injured which means we have just 3 in good condition. Which serious team has only 3 first team attackers? Abi is this one amorimball too?

Finally go and bring the coach you want to bring and not replace most of these players, let's see if they will not struggle until they either voluntary resign of get sacked

kizolo:
Some fans think the players are automatically better than other players because they play for Manchester United. Players too also think they are world class once they sign or have been playing for Manchester United

I remember when Mourinho said those players that leave, we need to check where they play and if they even play. Most end up in smaller clubs and they hardly play. We don't even hear about them anymore

Bombblacks:
So you don't even know the components, style of players needed or anything about the Amorimball you are advocating for?

Why stress myself when it's everywhere online? Nothing I say that will make you change your mind about Amorim so I'm not sure why I should bother. The only thing that can convince you is results which is not a bad thing

Leyqute:
Even when he came on, he didn’t do jack. We should sell Garnacho if Napoli brings 50m. Even Mainoo sef. All these unnecessary ego from players who never make am… I’m tired of it.

I was even looking for him on the field to see what has improved in his play.

Like you said we're not at that place where some think they're bigger than the others. They must all see themselves as equal
