The Man Utd thread (3)

To be honest they all seem to be up their own arses. Kelly Cates was actually laughing when the pundits were seriously suggesting that Burno’s pen was down to the ref.

One way to look at that is that as a sober professional she is amused at how biased and deranged the Utd lot are being. The other though is that she has clearly inherited her dad’s attitude towards that club and is just loving how much they are flailing :rofl:

I would hope it’s a bit of both. It’s truly what it deserved mind.

Carra’s face is also priceless in that clip.

He knows his mate is coping hard. The pity for Gary is Carra doesn’t give two shits.

I always enjoyed listening to Thomas Frank interviews, he always came across very well.

He was always relaxed and showed that he is an astute coach/manager who is very adaptable from a team set up and tactics point of view and I hoped he would do well at a bigger club.

Whereas, with Amorim I was a detractor from the beginning, in the PL you have to be adaptable as a team to succeed and a staunch 3 4 3 has limiting success. Opposition coaches soon work out the weaknesses and will setup accordingly and all that is not taking into account recruiting players for his system.

Hopefully Big Jim will point to Amorims contract and refuse his resignation

To be honest he has sounded like he wanted to leave for about 6-7 months.

I bet he regretted calling last seasons version the worst Man Utd side ever.

He should have said so far

Got the backing of the board. He’s gone. :smiley:

Oof, just a dreaded vote of confidence away from the job centre, shame - I hoped he’d sign a contract extension :sweat_smile:

While I wouldn’t go as far as Gary Neville, I do see where he is coming from with regard to their game against Arsenal. They lost 1-0 but they went toe to toe and gave a good account of themselves.

They then followed it up with a draw at Fulham. Not great, but far from a disastrous result, as Fulham are a decent Prem side and only a few sides will get out of Craven Cottage with an away win.

The biggest puzzle for me is how mentally fragile Man Utd are, to be able to lose to Grimsby and see the manager almost fall on his sword.

It’s all a bit ridiculous.

Obviously as a Liverpool fan I’m loving it, but I am shocked by their mental fragility. After starting OK-ish, even if they didn’t get the points, they had plenty of things to be hopeful about, and now the sky is falling.

Dunno this was a board that kept a bloke they had been sacking for 3 weeks only then to sack him 2 months into the new season.

Probably doesn’t help that their manager/head coach decided to take one of Neville’s infamous micro retirements last night during the match, their new star striker was left until every other outfield player had taken a penalty and their captain acts like my young niece when things don’t go his way :sob:

:joy:

This is probably a fake, I write this as a precaution :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

It’s definitely a fake - there would have been three sausages at the back if it was real, the man has a rigid philosophy

This is just it though - Man United have morphed into what they complained about for 20 years - game-raising cunts. They find it easy to get motivated for “big” games against top-6 type teams, but then shit the bed against everyone else. It’s absolutely a mentality issue.

Oh dear…doesn’t sound very good…

Listen to this one from Jose. It’s probably from 2018 and he’s laying into people for the unreasonable expectations they have at Utd because it even by then it had already been a long time since they were any good
