I observed yesterday that we might have the Ten Hang problem repeating itself whenever we face teams that sit back if we don’t get rid of Maguire or Martinez or both from the starting lineup or find a way to fix the problem.

When playing against teams that seat back in this Carricks system, the midfielders are expected to press higher and with intensity also the backline are expected to pus higher as well. However, with Maguire and Martinez, we don’t have the recovery speed in behind so they stay back

What we have now is a high press without intensity and a low backline resulting to wide open midfield - Recipe for disaster

Nigeria - Largest producer of corrupt politicians

Obsession with system footbal has made Amorim lack awareness of the team. The Media and everyone recently praised Dorgu for playing his best game for United on the right side (Same position he plays for Denmark), today, Amorim swapped him to the left. It’s clear Dorgu plays better on the right. Same thing with Yoro, he plays better in central defense but Amorim keeps playing him as RCB

Ayden Heaven currently playing far better than Yoro.

Yoro is a fine defender and he’d probably play better than Heaven in CCB. Sadly, Amorim uses him in a way that exposes him to his flaw which is marking runners and quick wingers/covering space in a RCB role which seems like playing RB in the heat of the game this is why Sulemana of Southampton cooked him earlier this year and he struggled to mark Roger’s from the flank against West Ham

The culprit is Amorim whom haven’t been playing to his strength which is at the centre

I have a feeling it's because of his brother's stunt. E no wound since na now when road clear he won wound.

The update from the club app says “The Academy product was an option to come into the side for the game at Aston Villa, with Casemiro suspended, but sustained the injury in training on Saturday.
"He got an injury in the last training," the boss told Sky Sports. "After training, he went to the doctor. He got something in his calf.
"We are going to assess but he is out of this game.

I don’t think they’d be lying about the matter

odizeey:
Why Mainoo no dey team

Injured in training

MRTA7:
If we face Villa with that defence it might get really ugly for us really quickly.

Might actually not get any ugly. This team can square up with any team in terms of attack and individual brilliance. Our main issue is midfield and defense and ultimately the system - that’s why despite a win, you’ll still feel that void. This team is capable of playing 5-5 against Mobi Stars and also against Barcelona

We’re now like 15 years ago Stoke City….Without the physicality

We’re not creating anything. No way out

akwesenana:
12 wins in 12 months is atrocious.

Averaging once per month, PERIOD

This is the original fear fear formation
2 midfielders should do everything while 5 defenders just position and not allowed to jump in. Even prime Ngolo Kante and Makele will suffer in this formation. Your striker will suffer with this formation due to no service. Even you, the fan will suffer!!

afrodoc2:
Bruh, the guy fell on the floor for at least 3 of those corner kicks.

Amorim started looking at the floor during corner kicks so that Bayindir will not kill Amorim's mother's son for her. Hehehe.

There was a time he fell and wanted to cry when he stood up lol. That feeling when you fkd up but thought it wouldn’t happen again only to see yourself repeat it inadvertently

StarchAndBanga:
I still think the Man-U players don't do enough to protect the keeper during corners.. I saw instances where Fulham were employing Assnal's dark art tactics of disrupt the goal keeper during corners

It’s see finish. I believe it’s already a common knowledge since last season that our goal keepers are frail and erratic especially during set pieces. So all teams do is try to disrupt our goal keepers during corners and it works for them or almost does

nitrogen:
Give him his players, he was successful at Sporting, he needs time, he does not need to be flexible, yen yen yen. See una life outside!

First sign of bad manager of anything whether company, department or business is if they can’t work with or implement their style with the human resources they meet on ground. Anytime you hear that a coach needs his own players to implement his style….Run oo

How can a formation be set up to be ultra defensive yet its open like a motorway at the same time

This man actually said we will suffer but I never imagined it will start this early

Play like lions as underdogs but play like chickens as favorites. Welcome to Amorim style

Fulham look more dangerous. Its like our midfield is non existent

You cannot see the impact of Amorim ball with any squad on ground. You need to clear the squad and get a new one before you can see the impact

Leyqute:
Had to go look for the original

I hope he’s trying to catch it with both hands and not push it. Enough of attempting to push high flying shots with both hands

I’m eager to see the magic Amorim wants to do that would make fitting Bruno in this starting line up make sense and won’t come back to haunt him. Central midfield with any of our midfield - We’re cooked except he want to play score me I score you football. He can’t play upfront when we now have a lethal striker, Cunha and Mbeumo who are obviously better in that position and also new expensive signings whom he must place. We’re all waiting to see how he plays Bruno and not appear sentimental

The team need to keep the ball better with passes and also learn how to utilize space to drive with the ball. The players have all mastered the act of make e no spoil for my hand especially the midfield. So many reckless passes and not knowing what to do with the ball when in possession

CrystalTiger:
Unpopular Opinion-- Tom Heaton is better than Onana..

Definitely better. There's a De Gea esque save he made with his right foot. If it were Onana it would have been a goal. Ball playing goalkeeper that can’t make a save with his feet. Onana would have tried to save it with his hand and then the ball with go under his arm or he will miss it due to his slow reflex. Also Matato played the RWB better than Dalot

Within 30 seconds. Cunha had the ball and calmed the play and we built on that. In the same short time Bruno had the ball, his instant pass went straight to the opponent and were back defending

Press looks sharper

This looks like a highlight of last season. Losing control of midfield to every opponent, difficulty making passes and creating chances. We don’t have the players to deal with this 2v3 midfield. This 343 formation or whatever Amorim is doing is not working for us and he has no plan B

Amorim should be pragmatic next season and play counter attack instead of trying to be on the front foot with these crop of immobile midfielders without manourvering abilities and a toothless striker. All our opponents had to do to win or score us first was seat back, counter and take their chances.

Any small counter against us last season, the team is left with 3 defenders sometimes two to defend against like 4-5 attackers. While others would still be jogging back to recover their position.

We were compact and played better when we counter big teams but once other teams counter us we’re done except when we were lucky

It’s as if clubs hate United for no reason. Nobody wants to buy our players. They just want to loan them and send them back. If they are willing to sell, they try to rip off. It’s like a gang up!!

When it comes to stealing a living from United. These players hold on to the last because they know nobody would pay them such. All our high profile loanees might end up returning because they can’t take a pay cut and do what’s best for both parties

Ellexy:
So what's the essence of keeping him and wasting time and resources if he want last past December? Is it to repeat the Eth mistake again or what?

“Make them no talk say we no support and back the manager” that’s the reason

The club thinks it’s in the culture and DNA of the club to support anyone associated with them going through difficult times so they try to keep up. Zero ruthlessness

Goosethetruth:
Manchester united are cursed to repeat this punishment endlessly. Anyone who knows a little about football can see this except INEOS and Amorim’s supporters. INEOS because they are actually broke but masquerading to be rich. Amorim’s supporters because they are deluded and wish for the old days without the work ethic of the old days.
I actually pity mercenary players like Cunha coming in for the money. By the time Amorim strait jackets him into his system of madness he will understand that happiness is more important than money.

I expect Amorim to be issued his P45 by December then whoever comes in will demand the sacking of the players who cannot play his own system and the fresh employment of those who can.
Rinse and repeat like the legend of Sisyphus

There’s absolutely no reason to continue with Amorim. Our biggest problem is delaying to sack managers. The club is just like the typical nice guy that always wants to be in the good books of everyone. This nonsense political correctness and PR applies to the delay in getting rid of underperforming and injury prone players! Make them no talk say we do am bad mindset!!

Any EPL team that surrenders possession to this United team would have won this final even Ipswich. All you have to do to win this team is draw back, surrender most part of the possession to them to create nothing and hit them on the counter. The defenders or Onana must make a mistake that would lead to goal and if you’re lucky it would be your first attempt on goal
