Amorim went with the strongest available lineup it seems.

afrodoc2:
Ayden Heaven has travelled with the rest of the squad for the Chelsea game but no Obi and worryingly, still no sign of de Ligt.

Deligt is definitely not playing the final next week.

Is Obi injured?

larride:
We are average in the league this season. We are not average in the Europa League. We are the only unbeaten team remaining in all of Europe competition.

We fully deserve to be in the final by virtue of our performance in the Europa league and we fully deserve to be where we are on the PL table.

I didnt even see that you said average in the league. If you consider that the 3 relegated teams are pretty much championship level teams. We along with Spurs are the worst teams in the division. I think that qualifies us for atrocious, disastrous in the league not average.

ChristineC:
well that's not a factual claim.
he may or may not have what it takes, but there's only one way to find out.
I don't think quitting will look good on his CV.
if the club is quiet on the transfer market, then the public idea is that they expect Amorim to develop the team from youth. if that's the resolution, then I'd like to believe he gets more than enough rope over the years.
whereas if he's backed in the market, then we get the idea on expectations as well.

Of course its not a factual claim. Just an opinion like yours. Is that not what we're all doing here?

Oasis007:
.....they don't.

Ok. Please go and remove them from next season's CL.

afrodoc2:
Europa League winners deservedly go to the Champion's League the next season. I no understand this one people are trying to rewrite the rules of the game just before final whistle.

If we win then we deserve Champion's League football. If Spurs win, they deserve it instead.

Simple.

CrystalTiger:
That his interview is looking like he's not going to get players..

But why do you think he should resign?

I think he knows he hasnt got what it takes to improve this squad and there isnt enough money to fix the issues with the squad so he is the one going to take the blame. He is not going to leave this club with his reputation intact so probably best to walk on his terms and with a trophy if he gets it.

If I were Amorim, If I win the Europa League I would resign immediately after.

Oasis007:
......I understand your optimism but ain't gonna put any hope on the final. Both Clubs are average this season - very average. Luck can take you to final in cup competition but reality does set-in in league competition.

None of the clubs deserves UCL spot next season but rules are rules. UCL is meant for Gladiators not Weaklings.

Bilbao we beat home and away are 4th in Laliga. DO they deserve CL football next season?

larride:
What else do you expect the manager to say? That the game are meaningless or what?

If they ask you which game is more important between the Europa League final and yesterday game, which will you chose?

I think the point is, its not and should not be either or. You cannot have your team losing matches continuously because they have a final coming. Its very easy to carry that losing streak into the final.

Jamiuokolaa:
I am confused on why he had to say this after our 2nd consecutive defeat in the PL

Exactly. A team should not get used to losing no matter the circumstances. This is beyond unacceptable.

odizeey:
I wonder why some of them don't want UCL football

Who doesnt want CL football?

Patrickmuf1:
Whoever said it is going to magically fix everything...A UCL spot guarantees we can spend more and attract players of a high quality, which is good for the team, so I don't understand what you mean by path to destruction...

Even if Amorim plays our best 11, they will be very cautious because, whether he likes it or not, the players know where our priority lies and none of them will like to sustain an injury that will see them miss the UEL final.

PSG was supposed to do an unbeaten season, but as soon as they won the league, they cared less about Ligue 1; even when Enrique fielded his best 11, they lost to Nice some weeks back.

Its a path to destruction because history has always shown you cannot consistently pick and choose when you raise your game for matches. The losing mentality is settling into the players and also helping our opponents who not only see where we are on the table but know we have not won a league match against a non relegated team since January. Winning mentality is extremely important. 17 league defeats is not helping.

Patrickmuf1:
All we need is a ticket to the UCL, that's where the money is...At this point, finishing a position or two higher is inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. Let the players use the remaining games to build fitness for those who need it.

Honestly, this attitude is a path to destruction for the club. Good thing Amorim has seen it as well. A europa league win isnt going to magically fix everything.

Patrickmuf1:
What exactly will a win, a loss, or a draw do for the team?

Is it too hard for you guys to wait for the UEL final before you start? I am sure when we win the final, some of you will begin to speak in tongues unknown to man.

A win does a lot actually. Confidence momentum etc ahead of a final. Also getting used to so many defeats is not good for any team. Not to talk of the difference in prize money for league positions when we know money is already tight. Even if we win the Europa League final, its not going to make everything ok. It doesn't work like that.

Ellexy:
As for me oo, whether Amorim wins the Europa League or not, he’s got to go. Sitting 17th on the table isn’t transition bikonu—it’s a tactical crisis. Let’s not even forget, the only reason we avoided relegation was thanks to the points Ten Hag left behind before getting axed.

This whole scenario is just giving major FA Cup/Ten Hag vibes. Win a trophy, mask a disaster. And we all know how that ended. The only difference? This is even worse.

And yet… some of y’all are out here defending him like he’s reinventing football and only the players are bad. He'll need players from Mars or Uranus before we can fvcking stop losing against every team in the league.

100% They'll say when he gets his players. If we get anymore like Dorgu we will be getting relegated next season.

Sportsweb:
The Spurs you are mentioning have lost 21 EPL games this season

And still managed to beat us 3 times this season.

maik99:
Spurs are useless too

And they have beaten us 3 times this season already.

engrelvis:
Am close to some top top footballers in current eagle squad. Even old eagles players. From my discussion with dem this week l believe Oshimen coming to United is almost done deal. Winning Europa will be good but not a deciding factor.His negatives baggages is what am afraid of. l keep my fingers cross

My own sources say Osimhen is not at all on the list for Man utd.

Oasis007:


.....of course, we ain't talking about him but about who should be retained as LCB between Shaw and Licha.

Shaw should not be at the club next season. Licha I'm very 50/50 on. I don't mind if he goes or stays.

Oasis007:


.....chei! We definitely need to replace either of Licha or Shaw. We shouldn't keep both for next season. LOL!

Heaven can play there.

CapitalCee:
Yoro is a World class players in waiting.

Garnacho has played himself into the bench.

I think the final first eleven is almost Sorted. The only issue we have now is Hojlund.

Dorgu was abysmal, Maguire, Ugarte and Lindelof are dogshit.

Bruno and Casemiro only came alive after the substitutions.

For me, for the Final.

Onana; Yoro, Maguire, Deligt, Mazraoui, Dorgu; Bruno, Casemiro, Amad, Mount and Hojlund.

If Dorgu and Hojlund is our week point. Zirkzee would have suited Spurs more.

Is Dalot out for the season?

Just don't disgrace us.

My joy seeing Amad yesterday.

odizeey:
Chido not being ready, my question is to the person who says he's not ready.

We are in a state where we need these academy players to play more. Our first team players are either useless or injured.

You'll introduce an academy player and he turns up but in the next game you won't play him to build up.

See how arsenal are using MLS and Nwaneri?

I do agree that our academy players need to be used more. I over did it by saying Chido is clearly not ready so I take that back, That was wrong. but at the same time, I don't want us to bring in these kids into a bad situation that will hamper their development. Being ready doesn't mean they still wont need development and we can see how bad that can go if not done properly and in the right environment.

adebayo201:
Buh... Buh... Amorim is shiit.

Let's not forget that 2 things can be true.

odizeey:
This is one thing that Amorim is doing that's pissing me off.
These coaches always find a way to get themselves sacked.

I'm not sure he has a choice. Obi is clearly not ready and forcing him to start could do more damage to him.

Lana1:
They dont know how to score. We dont know how to defend. Will be a match for the ages

We also don't know how to score.

Ornstein says Osimhen is not on Man utd's list of targets this summer.

I like Cunha. I'm guessing he's for one of the behind the striker roles rather than the main striker role. He's also a bit of a bastard which we need in the squad. He's also a good age. As long as he's not our only attacking signing I'm ok with it. He's a bit crazy though.

larride:
Well I said average at best doc.

I except significant improvement next season though else he will have to go. Whether mid season or end of season.

Average at best is way too generous. He has been an absolute disaster in the league.

Has Amorim done enough to be given next season?
