The Man Utd thread (3)

MANCHESTER – Manchester United lost to Arsenal in their opener on Aug 17, but Ruben Amorim remained full of optimism and said his rebuilt team can now beat anybody in the English Premier League* as the club try to put last season’s woeful 15th-place finish behind them.

*Fulham excluded, this list is not exhaustive

How they still haven’t figured out after all these years that Bruno is very much part of their problems is testament to the stupidity that reigns at the top. They have basically got three number tens now and goofy has to be shoehorned in no matter what.

If Fergie was still in charge

the ref would have let him retake the penalty,

Then sent of a Fulham player as way of making an apology!

Goldbridge made this EXACT point yesterday.

So a parodic YouTuber can correctly identify what is likely their major issue, but everyone from the manager up is either too stupid/stubborn to say it?

How delicious.

That’s the only way he knows how to coach the game. He’s not someone like Thomas Frank or Arne Slot who’ve shown they are adaptable.

And ETH , Ole altered their tactics to suit the players, that didn’t get them anywhere too.

Ol’ Rubes has 28 points from his 29 PL games in charge.

If that’s not relegation form, I dunno what is…

From the Guardian:

"As the final whistle was blown at Craven Cottage, Benjamin Sesko wiped his nose on his shirt and then just stood staring down at the turf in the centre circle, while around him the players of Fulham and Manchester United shook hands, embraced, or fell to their knees to praise to the almighty deity, according to preference.

Sesko just carried on staring, then carried on for a bit more, seeming not so much disappointed with this energetically vague 1-1 draw, as consumed by something more basic. How strange to be Sesko right now, aged 22 and a few months, a £73m footballer, thrown into the meat grinder and asked not just to play and score goals for Manchester United, but to fix them too, to work out exactly how this £1bn cut‑and‑shut job of a team, hurled into a non‑negotiable shape by a supremely confident man in white trainers, are actually going to do this.

Score goals. But also invent an attacking rhythm, link the parts, discover how we’re meant to play. Because, frankly, no one else around here seems to have much of a clue."

Didn’t take long for the penny to drop then.

who is it ment to be?

Is that a serious question?

Because, as that illustration clearly shows, the sleeping giant represents Nanchestir United… presumably no relation to the clown car breaking down comically in Manchester currently.

Probably just stuck that panel to the wall with a flour and water paste, like my mum showed us kids to use (many years ago)

Yeah. Imagine a highly-paid PROFESSIONAL player coming out with such an excuse.

Oh, wait…

It’s either a Sleeping Giant or Fabien Barthez.

It’s Rooney. They want him to replace Amorim as manager

And here I was thinking I had been here long enough for most posters to know and recognise my moments of stupidity

How long it took each of the ‘big six’ managers to win consecutive Premier League games… 👀😬

That’s truly outstanding.
Possibly a record.
Supermorim. :joy:
Long may it continue…into the 30s, at least.

You could probably go through a fair few PL managers.

As a manager of Man Utd that’s atrocious, no wonder that blokes hair is so long.
