Malacia is providing good width down the left side. I would like to see a right-footed player as the right wing-back, as I believe this would make a significant difference. The defence is pushing higher up the pitch, allowing us to win the ball further up the field since the pitch is narrower. However, we must be cautious of balls played over the top.

Hojlund will improve, he is one for the future...

Final ball is lacking...

Martinez should have been in that space. The players are struggling with positioning.

Crazy.

Rashford is up top, and we don't score that goal.

I agree.....

While he tries to implement his strategies and stamp his identity on the team, a decent and respectable finish in the league is very much achievable - we are just 3 points from 6th position and it's Brighton that's currently 5th after just 12 league matches ; there are 26 league games left to play, translating to a whopping 78 points still up for grabs!!

To help accelerate the recovery plan, It would be of immense benefit if we start tidying up transfer business early enough...possibly from the January TW if some of the targets are available by then. For those that can't join immediately, deals should already be agreed in principle. Dunno why we haven't been looking at players from the South American league but that's another discussion for another day.

As they say, "If you get on the wrong train, be sure to get off at the first stop. The longer you stay on, the more expensive the return trip is going to cost". Putting into context, I think we stayed too long on Bin Laden's train that was laced with explosives. We literally tried to give him enough time to destroy the club

The demands, pressure and expectations associated with managing top clubs has always been there and nothing is changing anytime soon.
The earlier the manager also realises that Man Utd isn't Sporting Lisbon, the better.

Hopefully Amorim's tenure here would be a successful one.

Very well put. It will be beautiful if we pick up points along the way.

Patrick Patooo Patoranking my mannest man

I follow for those way like this post that time. If only we could get the other 16 people to come forward.

odizeey, Eph12 and co, make una check and confirm una "likes history" biko

Las las, seun go publish the full list of "likers"

Preseason ooo

Like you said in your other post ,this season and next go sweet, Regardless

I expect the team to start showing obvious signs of improvement before February. In the summer he will have time to get his players in and get those he doesn't fancy out of the club...

Time will tell...

This thread is becoming reminiscent of Chelsea's thread. Some individuals take up opposing positions in an argument simply because they see someone they typically disagree with on the other side. You may want to argue against this observation, but I've noticed a pattern lately where people whose thoughts are usually well-organized sometimes adopt baffling stances. Upon closer examination, it becomes clear that they do this to avoid being seen as sharing similar views with someone they dislike.

In other cases, people who feel that others have criticized their favorite players or coaches will oppose their replacements, focusing on any minor mistakes to argue that their favorite was unfairly dismissed.

The entire Amorim drama is quite amusing.

Make we dey look sha.

This is what we all want to see in no distant time. In January, I hope we sign a proper LWB because Shaw is about to play his normal games. He will stay fit until the January transfer window closes, and then he'll go take a rest.

Abeg, who was the originator of this name 😂😂

He is actually him...

Ellexy:
It was funny how way they quickly abandoned their darling Flick and Slot.

Now they want us to embrace struggling because of style of play. It's not going to happen. Conte did it with Spurs, Tuchel did it at Chelsea, Amorim must do it here oo. We support him

Some of you here behave like girls. I was not even part of the conversation but you are accusing others here of being Flick and Slot fanboys when it was me that was using their respective team's performance to discredit your MCM. It would've made sense if you were discussing with me. You guys just mix things up...

Some guys here are really funny...

Flick and Slot had a whole preseason with their respective teams so make una calm down. Amorim also said the club should have restricted the players from making long trips abroad like Rashford and Casemiro did but no, let's look the other way.

For now, I blame the board for not sacking Bin Laden during the summer so that a new coach can have enough time with the team.

When the time is right, we will be here to assess Amorim. Kill your cheap agenda for now...

Gucciboy:
Lol, who's she?😂😂😂😂

You know that's a mistake.

Jokerman:
See how Erik Bin Laden people dey wish another man failure 😂😹

You dey observe them abi?

larride:
You are just talking nonsense about style since. Bros rest ffs.

As if we haven't seen these players in other style before.

A very reactionary fanbase.

ETH is right to be bragging about winning 2 trophies in your guys face everyday.

I dey your back. Let's back the new manager for at least a season.

I expect a much better performance against Everton with the return of Martinez, Yoro, Mainoo, Ugarte and Shaw.

I think Amorim is still trying to understand the players because I expected Amad to start as one off the 8s, Evans should have been the CCB and not LCB, she struggled to deal with Hutchison and his pace and quick feet.

Hojlund should have shot when he had the chance. Even the one-two he attempted with Bruno made no sense. Turn and shoot, you're a striker.

I still think he did better than Rashford who was really bad safe for his goal.

For some reason, Amad who had a RB playing as RCB behind him took up aa deep position all through the /match while Dalot who had Evans beside him was given the license to push forward. I don't k ow if it was the instruction but it was wrong. Amad too was just too careful, I saw him signalling for the ball to sent elsewhere when he was free to receive a pass. If he wants to make it at the top level, he has to change that mentality, he is more technical on the ball than Garnacho but he doesn't seem to believe in himself quite as much.

He has got to be used further up next week with the return of Shaw. Let Dalot or Mazraoui play that RWB position.

Garnacho should be taken off.

CapitalCee:
Hmmn, everything you said i agree, but Shaw de fear me, e fit get injury

He will still get injured at some point regardless. I am just sick and tired of watching Dalot as a LB. I even prefer Mazraoui there.

Ellexy:
Pat abeg, which intricate passes?

At the start of the game, we played better. As the game has progressed, we have struggled because we have not made them think twice about pouring men forward because Rashford, Garnacho and Dalot have fail to make the most of promising attacking situations.

I expect the game to change with the options we have on the bench. Mainoo, Ugarte, Hojlund, Mount/Zirkzee and maybe Shaw have to come in at some point.

CapitalCee:
Eriksen too, he has been poor

Ugarte and Mainoo have to come in before the hour mark to replace him and Casemiro.

Hojlund for Rashford and Mount/Zirkzee for Garnacho.

If Shaw is fit enough then Dalot should be hooked.

Prectega:
Pack old men full field

We have mainoo
Mount urgate

What’s Erickson and casemiro doing in the midfield

I hope this guy is not another fraud

Ugarte returned late. Mainoo just returned from injury.

eph12:
They are confidently committing almost all their players in our half. We need to be dangerous in our counters, finish more attacking moves, so we can put the fear of God back in these teams

Spot on.

eph12:
What are these players fit for?

Bros help me ask nitrogen.

Rashford is not providing any attacking outlet.

Eriksen too might need to make way for Ugarte. We need energy and legs in the middle.

Had it coming. Garnacho, Dalot, Rashford have been poor.

eph12:
Anytime I look at the screen, Ipswich is in our half

Stop taking your eyes off the screen.

Pressing is a bit coordinated and the team is trying to keep the ball better with the exchange of intricate passes. I hope it's the way forward.

Garnacho should watch it. Mount is back fit.

Amad, what a run...

Wow! Just wow!!!
