Goldbridge mentioned this in his daily whinge.
Heās coming across worse than AVB did. If you want to switch to 3-4-3 at least wait until you have the right players. He is simultaneously gutting their season, destroying squad confidence, and dropping any resale value there might be of the players he doesnāt fancy. Hojland and Garnacho look like shadows of their former selves. At least during ETHās time they were productive.
Also, since Mourinho, has it become a required thing for Portuguese managers to give off arrogant prick vibes?
Heās obviously in over his head, but to be fair heās been consistent in saying he wonāt adapt his system, and he told the United brass that he didnāt want to come to them until summer. They gave him a ānow or neverā ultimatum and he took the job. Heās been horribly bad, but the fault lies with the stupid cunts running the operation.
I think youāll find that Conte shifted to his system almost immediately after he arrived in Chelsea. He played two matches with a back 4 and got spanked. Shifted to a back 3 and won the league.
Thereās precedent of having someone making a back 3 work almost immediately. But thatās with the caveat that Chelsea had a far better squad than United do have at this point. And Conte had the preseason with Chelsea. And Conte is/was a better manager than Amorim.
Amorim might or might not be tactically flexible. Sticking to his guns there w.r.t the formation doesnāt mean heās not open to tweaks etc. But that assumes that the United players he has have enough game intelligence to execute his plans and itās clear to see that those players are absolutely dumb AF.
This will end most likely in disaster for Amorim but heās not majorly to blame for that.
Conte is also not committed to a back 3, it is not āhis systemā. He will use it, because he often likes defending in a 5-3-2, but just this season has Napoli has also played in a 4-5-1. He is not particularly dogmatic, and as a manager demands a lot of tactical learning and awareness of his players, but equally he tailors his formations to the players he has.
The Athletic has a run down on our remaining fixtures here ;
Iāve mentally done the same for the Arse and predict weāll finish on 87pts and theyāll amass 82.
Did they factor in referees being cunts?

Nice breakdown. Iāve said for a while that 85 points wins the title this season and Iām sticking to that. If Liverpool reach 85 points and donāt win it, Iāll eat my own arse.
Dont tempt fate.
And donāt post the video here if it does happen.
Iām gonna spam your inbox with it, sunshine.
Arse cheek pieā¦
I think if we win it, @PeachesEnRegalia should be forced to change his avatarā¦
