The Dalot and Maguire subs were understandable. Hard for me to blame the manager after we should have been 3-0 up in the first half with Cunha hitting the post, Leno save and Bruno missing a pk. Score those and the game is put to bed early on. Its Just a continuation of last season and the game vs Arsenal where again our attackers wastefulness let us down more than any managerial mistakes.
The subs were made to preserve our lead and not to push Fulham back. Amorim made 5 changes, of the five, only one was an attacking change, the rest were purely defensive...Removing Amad for Amad was defensive. Mount for Ugarte was defensive, Heaven and Maguire were also defensive subs...The subs sent a message to Fulham that we were looking at preserving our lead and invited even more pressure.

I can understand the idea behind bringing on Ugarte and Dalot (I would not make that sub if I were Amorim, though), but definitely not Heaven and Maguire...Imagine if Amorim brought in Mainoo and Zirkzee instead...Fulham would've gone defensive...

Now, the above is based on the subs Amorim made. In his position, I would have brought on Sesko, Mainoo and Ugarte around the hour mark for Mount, Bruno and Casemiro. As the game wore on and depending on the score, I would decide whether to introduce more defenders or attackers. If we were leading, then Maguire and Dalot for De Ligt and Amad would have been my move around the 80th minute, but if we were chasing a winner, I'd have brought in Maguire and Zirkzee for Shaw and Amad/Mbeumo...

Removing Amad for Dalot at that time invited pressure.

Even more criminal is removing Casemiro for Sesko...At that point, we had Bruno and Mount in midfield...

In his post-match interview, he talked about Bruno not being in the game but yet he played for the entirety of the game. Does it make sense? Will Mainoo be on the pitch up to 60 minutes if he had such a disaster of a game?

This is the same thing Bin Laden was doing with Maguire and Rashford, they'll play rubbish every other match but will never be dropped. Amorim should continue...

Am getting tired of all these analysis. ls becoming very obvious Amorim is not our saviour so plan B shud b activated. Get an interim coach whose permanent status will depends on his performances.

Come out o! Wait, we will give Amorim more time. Let’s catch up in December.
They should quickly sack him, what's my own.

They've gotten him players and the team is still this shambolic. It's time to collect his sack letter.

It is troubling that we immediately go on the defensive once the opponent steps up their game. I don't know if it's psychological but I swear I have seen it over and over again. The three CBs begin to be scared of leaving our 18-yard box, the midfielders drop deep, and the strikers are found in the middle of the pitch.

In the second half, Fulham were camped in our half of the pitch because as soon as we got the ball, we lost it again. We had/have no calm head in the middle who can receive the ball under pressure, keep his calm to find the next man or drive past a couple of challenges to take the team forward...

Iwobi drifted to the middle to over the midfield, so while we have a lot of bodies in our 18-yard box, they had just one or two Fulham players to contend with, leaving our midfield terribly exposed. In that instance, it's either Amorim instructed one of the CBs to push higher up into the midfield or remove one of them for a midfielder. The idea of playing 3 - 4 - 3 for the entirety of a game is stupid to say the least. The opponents study our game and make tactical adjustments, while he keeps it the same way for 90 minutes...

Amorim has not achieved too much in his young career to be so rigid and stubborn...Changing formation does not mean his preferred system has been found out, it is simply reacting to the demands of the game. Alonso is now playing 4 2 3 - 1 or 4-3-3, even though he achieved a lot playing 3-4-2-1 in Bayer Leverkusen. Comparing the German and Portuguese leagues, one would expect that it is Alonso who should be this stubborn in insisting it must be the method he used in Leverkusen or nothing, after all, the Bundesliga is a far superior league to the Portuguese Primeira Liga.
The most annoying thing is that our CBs will have acres of space in front of them and instead of pushing the ball up field to push the opponent back or create space, they will hold the ball and be looking for who pass to with acres of space in front of them only to make a back pass. Ridiculous play.

Bruno must definitely have a do not sub clause in his contract.

Also Amorim has Amad who's very explosive as wing back and didn't allow him bomb forward as he should but instructed Dalot to bomb forward.

Ridiculous

Amorim has to go at this point, looking like he's out of his depth

Dorgu was practically the only person on the left wing, both Cunha and Mount drifted to the middle. There were numerous instances where Dorgu got the ball and there was nobody to pass to in front of him.

did you see how he played amad as right wing back and second half removed him for dalot for the same position
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by patrickmuf(m): 6:33pm On Aug 25, 2025
We need two midfielders because I don't trust Casemiro, Ugarte is shit, Mount is not a footballer and Bruno is the midfield version of Dalot...Mainoo has to start vs Burnley.

Mrviktor:
Amad was allowed to stay forward multiple times.. I saw that..

My problem is with them not creating anything.. that was why dalot came on.. Shaw and dorgu were having a very brilliant game. That dey didn't even need Cunha and he could drift inside..

Amad and mbuemo were too far apart. Mount and Cunha were drifting..Bruno also, so our only stagnant wing was mbuemo and amad.. when mbuemo is on the ball amad is too far away. I didn't see any overlap like from dorgu.. the guy can't play wingback so we should stop forcing him to do it.. look for a better player to fix there let mbuemo and amad drag for the right wing..

It's just too early to be lamenting.. I'm tired already..

At this rate amori won't finish the season. He's already under pressure
. Good you also think the same .. Amad coming on for mbeumo would be a killer in that rw....

But amorim still needs an attack minded wingbacks ..

For example, in the situation where bassey was not giving mbeumo breathing space, amad attacking would've disrupted that cause then bassey no go know who him go wan mark ..

Overall Sha , amorim need to get more bodies into the opposition box 18 .. The front three dey to far away from each other.

It's funny how an away draw got more outrage than a home loss.

The performance in the home loss gave us the feeling that we could go to Craven Cottage and leave with 3 points in the bag...
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by eph12(m): 8:42pm On Aug 25, 2025
Liverpool defender with the ball and I can see at least 3 options in the midfield for the defender. That is 3 players coming closer to receive pass. But my dear club will have an empty midfield with just one midfielder to receive the pass.

If we had a much better performance with the result remaining the same, the outrage won't be as much as this.

Well, maybe but we just have to start bagging the 3 pts...We are already 5 pts off the pace, you might say it is early days but then, nobody waits for you...
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by TrebleChamp(m): 8:47pm On Aug 25, 2025
Fulham players knew our two man midfield system was the weak link..

Many teams will exploit this lapses and punish United like they did last season.
