Nobody argued he was *the* problem.

That doesnβt rid Amorim of all accountability, at all, but to get this group of players, who seemingly have zero professional pride, to step up their game and use their brain was never going to work. Disastrous decisions and performances from top to bottom. We are absolutely fucked.
Now the season is a write off anyway and the manager has been tainted. A fresh start last summer or this summer, following appropriate signings and departures, would have given Amorim a chance. Set up to fail in these conditions.
I understand the decision to bring in the first choice replacement mid-season rather than waiting until the summer and likely writing off the season with an interim. But when that manager has a super specific style of play and wonβt let him sign anyone? Madness π
I understand the decision to give more time to a manager who won us two trophies in two seasons, even when league form was atrocious. But hindsight proves they needed to be more cut throat and get Ten Hag gone in the summer.

Getting stick from the away end all game then pops up to score a last minute winner. From an offside position. Superb π€πΌ
Again, entirely irrelevant. You keep saying things which have literally nothing to do with what I just said. Is there a mute function in this app? Have this conversation with yourself rather than in my mentions ππ
My opinion? Itβs Rashfordβs opinion. On the day he signed for them he confirmed he had no interest in playing for them beyond a few months. Heβs there cos they are the only club that would pay a portion of his wages. And he won the FA Cup a few months ago. The distant past is any Villa success.
Entirely irrelevant. You asked how his current situation is bad for him. If you think him playing for a club on loan that he doesnβt want to stay at, after none of the clubs he actually wants to play for wanted to pay his wages, is a good thing, then Iβm not sure what to say. It *obviously* isnβt.
A few months ago he was moved to tears after beating City to lift the FA Cup with his boyhood club. Leaving under a cloud to experience playing in Barcelona or Milan is one thing. But Aston Villa?! What a cock up. It didnβt have to be like this.
As it is, heβs stuck with a commute Birmingham playing for a team who hasnβt won anything in his lifetime. Heβs already confirmed he has no interest in being there beyond the summer. He must be wondering how the fuck heβs ended up in this situation.
He hasnβt played well for ages so itβs understandable a cost-cutting ownership would want to move his Β£300k a week off the books. But he had to think, when responding with that interview, that he would have enjoyed the choice of a few top European sides as a result.
Heβs joined a club he has no interest in playing for beyond a couple of months cos he literally had no other choice if he was going to play football.
The Rashford situation is well sad. There must be so many details we arenβt aware of but you hear whispers about whatβs going on with him. The club havenβt treated him well but canβt help but think he was in a position to take control and turn things around. Proper disappointing that he didnβt.
He thought he was going to Barca and heβs ended up at a club that havenβt won a single trophy in his lifetime.
Aston Villa?! Heβs had an absolute mare here. Heβs being advised terribly.
Collyer not just stopping the ball crossing the line but lifting it with his clearance so it didnβt just go straight to a Fulham player to knock in. Well played ππΌ
Same
Wouldβve worked without the seer. It was nailed on before that.
Charlotte deserves to win this. I thought she was a right wet lettuce to begin with but sheβs played a superb game since she became a traitor ππΌ
The atmosphere should make tonight more fun than the last game, at least. Wonder if this team can find new ways to disappoint us this evening or whether theyβll decide to show up.
My wife has made me responsible for selling all the clothes our baby grows out of/never wore on Vinted. Ngl, thereβs a real fucking buzz about getting that notification telling you something has sold for a good price π Canβt believe this is my life now.
Superstar
It would be absolutely bonkers to sell Garnacho now. Itβs not just about his potential, of which he has loads, but what heβs already done on the pitch. Heβs only 20. He can learn to do what he needs to do to fit in Amorimβs team.

Who said coasting to a win?
Always rated him π
Andy Madley having an absolute mare today.
United can be proud of this performance. Winning with 11 men, concede due to a deflection, save a ridiculously awarded penalty. Big performances against City, Liverpool and Arsenal under Amorim.
