You guys never move on from anything. DDG left years ago. I am just rating Onana's performance last night.

Doc no dey recognize sarcasm again

afrodoc2:
Na Onana save us yesterday. The thing for bloody.

Still mid. DDG was never the problem and we’d have won if he was between the sticks

Ellexy:
Suddenly this one don fall in love with struggling. I no know say to struggle to beat a 19th placed team is to be liked. Nothing wey person no go see for this seun's nairaland.

You dey mind am
Clowns go always unravel

adisaaowala:
Why you dey laugh?

Did I lie?

Not exactly
Just remembering previous discussions on this thread

adisaaowala:
Na Special Pep Apologists dey reason this particular excuse o



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.

😂

Being a manchester united fan must be exhausting man

Not as exhausting as being the coach
That Amorim guy was clearly frustrated today

afrodoc2:
lol why you dey look for me?

I am not going to stress myself over a coach that had just 2-3 sessions to introduce a new formation to his players.

There is nothing long term that can be taken from this game. Ole and Moyes both had big wins in their first matches. ETH lost his first match.
If we had won today, siddon look mode. If we had lost today, siddon look mode. We drew today, siddon look mode.

The usual reflex complainants of the thread can carry on.

Na the people wey say dem ready to persist with Ten Hag if he continued losing I say make you come look, 45 minutes into the first game of a manager that took over in the middle of the season

Where is afrodoc2 in all of this

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Lamentations everytime

Patience no dey una dictionary [/color]

😂
Patience ke
Na 11 yrs we win league last o

nitrogen:
Or we switch back to 4-3-3 / 4-4-2. We will chop plenty beating o.

It's not even half time into his first game and you are already talking about switching and "beating"
Okay😂

Only a matter of time before they scored with d way we've been playing

Rashford has lost his pace
Sad

Ellexy:
Which kind lineup be this??

😂

kbrule1:
To all the NNPCL hopefuls, I was reliably informed that shortlisting is almost done and that the mail's will roll out within two weeks.

Lol
We have been hearing this since September

Gucciboy:
Liverpool has only won 1 Premier league title.

Check Premier league website and history.

This is official record,stop counting pre-1992

What are you talking about blud?

Appears this is the season Liverpool equal our 20 league titles

afrodoc2:
I believe he did.
There has been video silence since that first video went viral.

The guy quickly realised that this was a whole new level and shut down the cameras.

They are already asking him if he okayed Case and Rashford traveling to America
Person wey never start work

afrodoc2:
Na high pressure job. He should just know that those journalists are hyping him in order to pull him down later.

The job starts now.

I saw a post earlier that he has stopped photos/videos of training from going out
If true, he recognizes what he’s gotten into and is very wise to take steps to mitigate the situation
Too much of United’s business is out there. Our lineup dey even leak like normal

afrodoc2:
The hype over Amorin is even way more than with ten Hag.

The too much attention and scrutiny on the man united manager job is underrated
Noise from fans, from former players, from media…

patrickmuf:
People have asked you to point to where fans turned on Ten Hag here after his first couple of games as you insinuated but instead of dropping receipts, you are trying to start aa fight.

I am just glad that people can see through your poorly constructed agenda. Bin Laden's attorney.

You are “People”? Cos you are the only one who has asked me to supply you receipts. Emotional tactics is not going to get you points; so talking about “people” every two words is not going to garner you the support you so badly desire
I am Bin Laden’s attorney, what are you going to do about it?

patrickmuf:
That Maik dude is just pushing an agenda. We were all here and we can dig. ETH got all the support especially in his first season. It was when it became obvious that we were not going anywhere with him that some of us started raising concerns. S

It is easy to say you supported him because he changed his tactics after the first two games and then went on to do well; finishing third and winning a trophy
Would you mr Patrickmuf, have supported him if he stuck to his tactics and kept losing with a counter-attacking team that was not suited to his system?
Whatever your answer is, it will not change the fact that you are a clown btw

afrodoc2:
Yeah, we have very fickle fans. Unless he takes us into relegation waters i will give him until next season. After 2 transfer windows and a full preseason we should see dividends of his coaching.

Which is the sensible thing to do
But won’t be surprised if I see ETH whitewashing even before the end of this season

afrodoc2:
There is nothing over the moon about what i said. I have stated here repeatedly that i will suspend judgement until i see workings from him, but the point i was trying to make is that if Amorin does not keep the faith with his system and instead switches system from year to year like ETH, he too will fail.

ETH wasted his first 2 seasons. That was why he lost his way at the club. Most fans would have accepted if after struggling in the early part of the first season we saw incremental improvement. Most fans will prefer struggling in the 1st season while addressing
the core problems and improving from there INSTEAD of chasing results in the first season and struggling into the 2nd and 3rd season because the core problems were not addressed.

What ETH did was akin to putting lipstick on a pig. Amorin must start by addressing the core issues now and then improve slowly from there. Most fans will forgive poor results while he still has lots of goodwill. If he chases results now and neglects to address the problems in the team, he too will go the way of ETH in 1-2 years' time.

It’s not about you but the general feeling around Amorim’s appointment and the good vibes following his resumption
Fans were going to give ETH a whole season when everywhere was already on meltdown after that 4-0 loss to Brentford?
I wish Ruben all the best at arguably the toughest job in football

afrodoc2:
This was the most significant coaching error that ETH made. Instead of sticking fully to his principles he was sitting on the fence tactically.

Playing high press (following his principles) while still playing a low defense line (going against his principles) because he felt our defenders were not pacy enough. This was the origin of the donut midfield and the wasted 2nd season that spiralled out of control and ultimately led to his sack.

I said it here then, he should have stuck to his principles (combine the press with a high line, compress the midfield, and even though the defense might suffer in the initial stages, at least the players will over time master a particular style.

Instead, every season the mumu was changing his tactics based on temporary situations. If Amorim wants to succeed here he has to implement a system that he will be consistent with. Those players that can't cope will be shipped out and replaced.

All of these is easy to say lol
At Manchester United you have to find a way to get results while the players are trying to learn the style
All of you are over the moon but a poor run of results and we start seeing funny takes on this thread

afrodoc2:
Na scam.

We have an Academy Director Nick Cox, who has done an amazing job by the way.

We have a Technical Director Jason Wilcox.

We have a Sporting Director Dan Ashworth.

What is Fletcher’s job title? How does that title give him the responsibility of transitioning academy players to the first team?

The same influence that got Moyes the job is keeping Fletcher now🤝

afrodoc2:
He will most likely do even better in Amorin's double pivot midfield. Based on reports he likes his 2 CMs to be workers and not tempo setters.
Additionally, Ugarte is used to his tactics.

I'm assuming the chances creation will be from the wings?

If Ugarte continues like this it appears our midfield is good too

This Dalot has been dribbled past easily by Fatawa three times that I have seen and I started watching after 20 minutes

MRTA7:
Gutted for Ruud who left Holland this summer to accept a dream opportunity to coach at a club he loves while rejecting managerial offers only for it to crash and be out of a job 3 months later.

Lol
He will always get something if he really wants to keep coaching
I’m struggling to see where he fits in cos Amorim is coming with his own men

MRTA7:
Some rumours suggest Ruud wont be staying under Amorim. Gutted for him if true.

Why are you gutted?
