1% each time? Aggregate gains….

Zirkzee gets Bronx cheers when he gets benched after 30 mins... yet still has more goals in the league this season than Højlund, who cost twice as much and is just as useless, aside from one 7-8 game purple patch a year ago.

Even Rashford has more goals than him this season yet seems to get 100 times more flack.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Rashford deserves the flack he gets.

Felt for Zirkzee this morning, he may not be upto it but didn’t deserve that sort of treatment.

Hasn't had a window to get players who suit him or ship out guys holding United back. Reading nothing into Amorim yet. Next season is when the judgment starts

Dont always agree with that stuff. A good manager can work with any players he has. Will it be the best version of a managers team without the type of players he wants? No. But will it still show a system that works and get decent enough results, it should yes.

Right now Amorim looks so far out of his depth.

Hojlund is also a potato. They need to sell both at I assume a massive loss. But let's hope they stay there for their entire contracts.

Hard to know how serious to take a critique of a man so incredibly bias against United.
You've made it clear how shit United's squad is but then want to discredit a man who walked in weeks ago and without any transfer business should be able to polish these turds. He deserves little to no criticism until he can sign players to suit his style.

Do you think if Pep or Klopp went into United right now, they couldnt make them better? I think they would.

Dont understand the Richmond bit?

The sleeping giant (Nottingham Forest) how much longer will they keep it up!?

 

[chef]

Chelsea a bit unlucky. Hit the post, hit the bar, goal line clearances, narrow offsides.

Liam Delap is going to be in demand. Won and scored a penalty then set up the 2nd goal. He would be an upgrade on any of the United forwards. I think City have a buy back clause on him.

Yeah, just one of those days. Palmer a couple of inches away from a brace and assist. Forget it and move on. Dasasi starting at RB while we had 3 on the bench was really puzzling, love to know the logic of it.

With the Shields and Maresca factor i think we'll go hard on Delap being the CF we go for in the summer. Fits our model.

Get them a sponsorship from Cialis or Viagra.

The Liverpool game at the City Ground in a couple of weeks will be massive.
If they take 3 points there, then there’s a touch of Leicester perfect season about them.

and Willy (Boly)

 

[Mr Meow]

Can't it be both lol.
Liverpool and Arsenal were unlucky not to win the league because of city.
It's also lucky they're having a brilliant season while everyone else sucks. It's Leicester like except Liverpool's actually good.

In any case it's plain stupid to call a consistently strong Liverpool side lucky, given a lot of these players failed to win 2 Premier League titles with 90+ point seasons. In basically any other era that (along with their actual title winning season) would've netted 3 titles. 2 title wins from 4 incredible league seasons wouldn't really be lucky. But they still need to go on and have an incredible season this time round, all they have so far is a very strong first half.

That’s all well and good but I think you’re underestimating just how shit this United squad is. It’s like those posts that if Guardiola or Kloop were managing a club like Southampton, Wolves or a mid table side then we would see just how good they are. Them managing United wouldn’t be very different. They would add a few wins over a full season just because they are very good managers, but in the end, these players would hate playing under them because they will feel too overworked in training. They probably hate Amorim for the same reason.

I dont think Pep or Klopp would suddenly turn United into a title contender, you do have a terrible squad but I do think they would fire up the players, the players would want to play for them.

They would also bring a distinct way of playing that works. An actual system. It wouldnt take long for a manager of that ilk to get a team trending upwards.

I just think all the manager that United bring in just arent the right guys.

After 6 weeks it’s way too early to say that about Amorim. This was a lost season before he arrived, now I can firmly say it’s the players that are the problem. A lot of dross in this squad. There is no reason to panic until the current manager has at least had 2 transfer windows to start building his own squad.

Yeah, when like 7 managers in a row fail, it's not the managers that are the problem. Too many people think a manager is a magic bullet fix.

 

[glenferry23]

Much needed performance from Arsenal after conceding early. Mbeumo is quality, excellent finish. No Saka or Havertz for this one however was very impressed with Nwaneri making his first start in the league. Jesus in a good run of form. And 2 early second half goals killed the game off. Professional display and much needed 3 points.

The thing is Amorims system is so different that United simply don't have what it needs to make it effective. Its the exact opposite issue to Slot who came in using a very similar system to Klopp. I can't really think of many teams in the EPL where Amorim could come in and make minimal changes to be very effective.
Uniteds squad was bad and they have brought in a manager who doesn't use a system or a philosophy that can get anything out of the current list.

Also massive win against Brentford, which extends our record against them since they beat us 2-0 on their return to the Prem in 2021. Raya was very shaky especially after letting that first goal in the near post, but great to see Martinelli and Jesus continue their run of good form.
