This is truly wonderful stuff.
Amorin must know heâs absolutely fucked when his âgo toâ option is Anthony
as a wingback.
I wonder if Ashworth was fired over him calling out INEOS on the lunacy of hiring a manager who uses wingbacks when all that United had were the injured Shaw , the crappy Dalot & the clueless Malacia

Best part is this for dedicated 343 players because Amorim doesnât know any other way to play football. Almost guarantee overhaul again when he leaves.
Compare Amorimâs stubborn vs Slotâs flexible is like beginner vs master level. We played 3-3-3 vs Fulham and looked 3 levels about Utd.

Why on earth anyone would employ Rooney with his record is beyond me.

The gulf between Amorim and Klopp is huge imo. Thereâs 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 heâs unproven though.
When the sh*t hits Amorim, Rooney could be at the wheelâs rim.

He also exudes positivity. I remember when he first arrived, he looked at his squad and said âYeah, I can work with these people.â
Klopp was also more tactically flexible. He definitely had a style of play, but the in-game tactics changed over time.
Thatâs 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 letâs 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 ETHâs high-press/high-line. Ironically, even I donât 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 wonât here. It boggles my mind that INEOS is focused on cutting peopleâs bonuses and scrapping Christmas parties when someone like Casemiro is getting paid ÂŁ350k per week. But thatâs the behavior of a penny-pinching billionaire trying to apply what worked in the chemical business to the football business. Amorim isnât going to last in this mess. Heâll 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. Heâs used to playing absolutely shite team with his loaded Sporting side - now heâs 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.

Iâm 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.
