For all his virtues Dorgu couldn’t be described as tricky. Suspect against teams that defend deeper Cunha will get the nod on the left. Dorgu a great player to have in your squad nevertheless and will only get better.
Amorim trying too hard to be cute with team formation again tonight. Pick your best available players in their best positions and let them play. It’s not that difficult. Making Wolves look decent here tonight when they’re not.
Is he learning, that to succeed at United (or any big club) flexibility is an absolute requirement. Still find it difficult not to be highly critical of a wasted first 14 months. That said, onwards and upwards, hopefully to success.
Not sure how much the defenders can be blamed for last night.Utd brought a lot on themselves last night, 3 goals came from stupidly giving the ball away. Then by being outnumbered so often in midfield leaving them wide open.
Needs a De Ligt type beside him. Defence was left far too exposed last night, out numbered and out run in midfield far too often (formation issue). Think 3 of their goals came from United giving the ball away.
Have no time for the criticism some ex players are giving him. That said, every time he’s opens his mouth he’s proving them right.
2-2 incoming. United cannot control a game with this formation. Wolves are so obvs shite, but finished that half the stronger. United are a mess.
Think most people would agree with that.
Staggering to see Ugarte come on before him tonight. Plenty to blame players for but I’d be pointing the finger towards the manager for last 2 home results. Negative changes, inflexibility in his approach.Where’s the improvement?
Time Amorim looked at himself.Poor (negative) substitutions, an obsession with playing players out of position and clinging to his sacred 343, all have me wondering whether he’s improving the team or in fact hindering improvement.
Lacks any aggression, so weak and passive. A centre backs dream to mark.
Can’t blame the match goer too much. A full year of mostly shite performances, last night up there with the worst and lot of it down to Amorims in game mgt.
Don’t want to unload on Amorim, but one year in and they’re still leaking goals and the our main plan of attack is long balls from the back looking for a Sesko flick on. Am I missing something?
Fingers can be pointed at certain players tonight and absences can used as an excuse. But Amorim’s slavish adherence to the same formation became an issue tonight, no ability to adapt even after goal or red card. The definition of insanity….
Never ceases to amaze me how Roberto Martinez always seems to fail upwards. Utter fraud as a manager. Portugal squad capable of wining World Cup but won’t with him. Utterly incapable of making the big decision and dropping Ronaldo. Happier placating him rather than doing what’s best for the team.
Always thought he was desperately overrated as a player. Never in the same league as Messi / CR7 (who is), as he never really did it on the big occasion
Sky Sports must be really short of any content if they’re running with transfer speculation all day today with contributions from the usual muppets.
What time does Pizza Express open
Wide open on transition, again.
3 of the back 5 clearly out of position. Midfield 2 slow and defensively weak and he’s rotating a £60m attacker even though he’s only playing one game a week. They may well win today but it’s very hard to have any optimism in what Amorim is doing.
Yes there’s still gaps in that squad but he’s still underachieving with what he has available, but it will require him to change too. Change formation, play your better players (Yoro, Mainoo) accept that Fernandes should not be the centrepiece of everything.
Think Amorims troubles are mostly self inflicted, whether it be slavish adherence to a flawed system or poor in game mgt. The argument that it’s the same group throwing the mgt under the bus the bus is wrong. He’s brought in 5/6 and moved the perceived problem players. This is not that bad a squad.
Fernandes will never lead United to a League title. Doesn’t fit into Amorims flawed system and in my opinion has been oiss poor this season.
Not sure it’s a team full of quality, but certainly if set up properly are capable of being competitive. The manager has become an issue and even with a full week’s preparation still look clueless.
Another who suffered as a result of Casemiro’s stupidity
The first principle in managing a game is to keep the ball. How the hell does Ugarte not understand that?
Think they are one Sunderland defeat away from being the crisis club.
Future captain
Getting harder & harder to have faith in Amorim
Amorims stubbornness is an issue. Not advocating his sacking in any way but at times it seems his need to be proved right (in terms of system & player selection) is more important to him than being successful. A blind man can see the issue with team formation and also his refusal to start Mainoo
