I think Amorim thought that the premier league is not so competitive that really is. Is not the same as the portuguese league..he made a bad move leaving Sporting, he should stay. I'm portuguese and the premier league is fire, the best on the planet.

[@blitzrc3884]

[@Musician7831]

​​@@blitzrc3884I think you are slightly deluded if you think a man born in Portugal only has passion for manu. I think the guy is trying to make out that he didn't realise the competitiveness and talent of premier league managers and lower teams. And it is very clear despite manus squad at, that Amorim doesn't have skills at this level. He is tactically awful at premier league level. And very arrogant. He will be sacked by March.

it's his fault, if you want to play with wing backs then at least play Amad or Garnacho on the wings, having Dalot and Maz is like playing with 5 in defence.

My point is the fact that MAINOO played as a false 9 or a 10 in midweek and it worked against FCSB doesn't mean it will work with Crystal Palace. Two very different opponents.

[@Hammerhead1986]

Regardless of the players, I absolutely can't stand that formation. I think he's a good coach but bringing him in almost halfway through a season and completely changing the way we play to a new formation with players that aren't suitable or good enough to play it was always destined for failure. Should have stuck to what we know with someone like Ruud until the end of the season, then brought him in in the summer so he could get the full pre season under his belt.

[@hanelwilliam8428]

I get what you are saying but even if a new formation is implemented, it'll be the same set of players. Our squad is bang average and mediocre.

[@TSF13]

They sucked in the other formation too

[@jaideepaphale6528]

You have to understand that by bringing Amorim now, he is able to get to know the players way better than if he was brought in the Summer. He is able to actually try it out in the games. So if the finances and PSR is handled well, the summer window could actually be very helpful for the team. You see how Ten Hag tried his formation in the first two games of his first season and lost badly, and then quickly went to a formation and tactical approach that suited the available players. It seems that is the problem the club are trying to avoid again, where manager was adjusting to the players rather than the players learning the manager's approach. And that's the exact mistake of panic buying that Amorim has talked about

[@rubenbarbeiro6078]

I agree with you, but the owners decided to bring him now and didn´t allow Amorim to finish his season with sporting

[@jamesfagan7823]

It’s a shambles I have to take painkillers just to watch the games

How did he mention about scoring when there are no chances being created ? First design a philosophy to create a chance before talking about scoring goals. How are we going to score a goal is our midfielders/attackers are attempting a no-look pass to our defenders ? They should be passing forward. And that's your job to train them.

United has a 700m squad while Palace has a 400m. Even though United is bad, there is no excuse to lose against Palace They don t have better players. They have a coach with a brain. Amorim just dreams a system, that is not working in EPL

[@SweetRyGuy]

@ exposed yourself here lol. United’s ownership has bought poorly for years. No one ever thought Antony, Maguire, Hojlund, etc etc etc were ever worth half of what United paid. They’ve also actively gone and got a manager that plays a distinct system and none of these players can do it 😂

[@AlbertMac-y4d]

When Antony is doing better in Betis, that’s questionable. Is it the player or is it the club issue? That’s very much a rhetorical question cause even a non Man United fan can tell how messed up the management of the club is.

[@bottomendbliss]

BULLSHIT MATE! The UTD defenders couldnt do basic junior football things like track and get goal side of players running through, they ball watched instead. Its infuriating that these millionaires cant do the very simple basics of football. Both goals came from UTD defenders ball watching instead of simply marking up and getting goal side oof attackers.

Utd just don't have proper strikers that can score goals while their 3 back defence is just weak especially when they loose the ball during attack. Ugarte is doing at this best to cover but just cannot do all.

[@abelovedsonofGodinwhomHeis35-6]

On the left and right United were nowhere at all the passing between Maz and Amad was Sunday league league ten level, Maguire showed why even Lec city would not take him back, For me Ruben should now play at the back Yoro, De Ligt and Maz as back 3 and then Dorgu on the left and Dalot on the right, mid 2 being Collyer and Ugarte, 2 tens being Mainoo and Amad with either Tel or Hojlund. Maguire is waaaaaaaaaaaay toooooo slow, we struggle with pace all over and some big lump that has not really proved his height is of any worth at all needs to be dropped and then sold so we can use whatever money we get from his price to bring in hungry fights like Martinez just maybe a tad taller. And we wont make the past mistakes, we dont normally sign players in Jan and maybe that has been a mistake, as Bruno was signed in Jan as was Evra and Vidic, so 1 decent signing and 2 amazing signings in Jan in the past

[@danielkonradsson592]

We don t have injuries, the squad only lacks a LB, that s it. How can you blame the players if worse players defeat us? How tf can u say Palace have better players than us?

Do you think he can't see things which we fans can see?.....I'm not saying that he should not try something else,ofcourse he should but we have been here, ETH played so many formations but the results were the same,we are now comparing bad performances with bad performances,SAME SAME
