It upset me because the referee didnāt apologiseā¦
Absolutely not jokingā¦that is something my four-year-old says about his six-year-old brother.

Itās kinda both. If you donāt have the personnel for your tactics to work, then you alter your tactics to suit the players you do have, which Amorim refuses to do.
Bruno is the captain and will play almost every game and he is a liability in that deeper position. If he spent half the energy chasing opponents as he does referees he might be serviceable there. But heās supposed to be setting the example for the restā¦ Plus the players they have to play alongside him there all have major flaws as you mentioned so ultimately the personnel are failing and the tactics are not helping them.

MANCHESTER ā 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 seasonās woeful 15th-place finish behind them.
*Fulham excluded, this list is not exhaustive

How they still havenāt 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.

Thatās the only way he knows how to coach the game. Heās not someone like Thomas Frank or Arne Slot whoāve shown they are adaptable.

And ETH , Ole altered their tactics to suit the players, that didnāt get them anywhere too.
Olā Rubes has 28 points from his 29 PL games in charge.
If thatās not relegation form, I dunno what isā¦

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 Ā£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 Ā£1bn cutāandāshut job of a team, hurled into a nonānegotiable 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 weāre meant to play. Because, frankly, no one else around here seems to have much of a clue."
Didnāt 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 Unitedā¦ presumably no relation to the clown car breaking down comically in Manchester currently.
