Best part is this for dedicated 343 players because Amorim doesn’t know any other way to play football. Almost guarantee overhaul again when he leaves.
Compare Amorim’s stubborn vs Slot’s flexible is like beginner vs master level. We played 3-3-3 vs Fulham and looked 3 levels about Utd. 
This is the lowest point for Manchester United since last week.
Give it Rooney…
Give him the no. 9 too. Two birds with one stone.
Why on earth anyone would employ Rooney with his record is beyond me.
The gulf between Amorim and Klopp is huge imo. There’s zero comparison no matter how you look at the respective squads.
For me Klopp can clearly motivate players. I remember those first games, everyone was well fired up. We were all over the shop tactically but there were early hints.
Amorim though, is tactically rigid and the squad is about as motivated as my missus on a mountain walk in the rain.
Night and day.
If that anyone is Manutd, then anything is possible.
I do wonder if they missedcan opportunity with Ruud van Nistelroy.
I concede he’s unproven though.
When the sh*t hits Amorim, Rooney could be at the wheel’s rim. 
He also exudes positivity. I remember when he first arrived, he looked at his squad and said “Yeah, I can work with these people.”
Klopp was also more tactically flexible. He definitely had a style of play, but the in-game tactics changed over time.
That’s important. Pep has been the most successful manager in England over the past decade, but the way his teams played football over time was night and day. He started with this hyper-attacking tiki taka, evolved it to a controlled style that revolved around creative midfielders, to this super-boring let’s find a way to get it to Haaland and play with four CBs.
That squad is completely ill-suited to play a 3-4-3. They were ill-suited to play ETH’s high-press/high-line. Ironically, even I don’t like him as a manager, Gareth Southgate or even Sean Dyche would be a better fit.
On top of that, INEOS has shown zero ability to produce a quality footballing side. Nice is nothing and they get a new manager every year. I know guys like Ratcliff. His MO is to cut costs and demand results now. That may work in the petrochemicals business, but it won’t here. It boggles my mind that INEOS is focused on cutting people’s bonuses and scrapping Christmas parties when someone like Casemiro is getting paid £350k per week. But that’s the behavior of a penny-pinching billionaire trying to apply what worked in the chemical business to the football business. Amorim isn’t going to last in this mess. He’ll be gone by the end of next season.
I think Amorim might resign before the season finishes at this rate. They guy looks absolutely shellshocked by what he has walked in to.
Probably the most shocking thing for him is that there are no games in the PL where you can take a day off or use it as a training session. He’s used to playing absolutely shite team with his loaded Sporting side - now he’s in a league where every single team they play smell blood and will go for the throat.
If you do not have the players to suit your style then you adapt. To try to play your way or nothing is poor management and stupid. The best managers work with what they have.

I’m neither self-controlled, nor eloquent enough to arrange my thoughts in a coherent stream after reading this - but I guess this is how media work these days.
Let me remind you which thread we’re in…
The global finance experts:
I was going to say, I thought post-crisis financial regulations prevented banks from front-running clients, and that market manipulation regulations in general prevented such rubbish, but I guess not…
I had the same thoughts yesterday. He keeps mentioning how few training sessions he has had, which is a helluva thing to be talking about in the middle of the densest section of fixtures of the season. It doesn’t appear that he or the ManU braintrust that booted Ashworth actually had a plan for how and when the vaunted transition would happen.
I don’t believe that he’d resign, for the simple fact he’d be due a hefty pay-off when they sack him. He’ll stick it out for the duration, I’m sure.
The guy is floundering for excuses already… He has walked into a burning building armed with only his ‘water pistol’ expertise.
A year ago, Zirkzee was having a breakout season as Bologna’s top scorer in an incredible season. He is not the most well-rounded player, but Motta had him playing brilliantly. Going to ManU was an absolutely horrible career move. Apparently Juventus want him, I can see him talking to his agent today about getting him the hell out of the shitshow.
