It’s taking something from Mourinho’s book, half understanding when and how to use it, not having the same success or aura like him to put the players under the bus, amplify it by putting the complete team under the bus instead and then hoping it’ll work.

The assembling a table in the midst of the other fantasies was weird though?
Might be a weird IKEA fetish…

Assembly as in organise, russel up etc although showing her the nonchalance of nipping to the shops for some flat pack whilst she’s starting to lose balance is quite intriguing.
And before anybody thinks otherwise, met my wife when I was 16. 30+ years ago now. I have friends with x wives, maybe I’m just paraphrasing their hopes and dreams.

Ah I understand now.
Most men with ex wives build tables. It gives them a sense of completion.

Surely a better analogy would be seeing the noisy bragging neighbours, who have recently been made redundant and have decided to do an insurance job on their house, that have just discovered that they didn’t renew the insurance premium, now panicking and trying to work out if the leaking roof will counteract the raging chip pan fire that they have started in the kitchen.

Can they have a stash of fireworks in a kitchen cupboard too please?

I think Amorim is a bullet dodged. He will recruit to fit his 5 at the back and when they sack him the squad will therefore not suit the next man.
For all the anti FSG bed wetters look at what you could have!

It’s important that a new manager needs to also learn how to work with his existing squad than always wanting a new fresh team altogether. It’s crazy that many United fans are also buying the ‘need a complete new team’ nonsense.
How can a manager be so closely wedded to his formation that he becomes absolutely handicapped without having the right players to play it? Unless you’re a Pep and can spend 100MN on full backs every year, it doesn’t work for majority of other managers.
Then there’s also the case for them where they have highly overpriced and high wages earning players who couldn’t care less. On top of it, he’s gone ahead and said they are all part of worse United side. Why would anyone want to buy them now? Without them being sold how does he plan to buy new side completely? He’s stuck with most of these players whom he has now called practically useless.
It is always a manager that is problem with them, till they replace him and then it’s the players till a point they realize it’s the manager again and the cycle continues.

Rashford to Dortmund on loan?
If they had half a milligram of sense, they’d say “Shut up in the media. Play the best you can with this squad and we’ll see how you’ve done at the end of the season.”
I’d sack him now for yesterday’s epic “players under the bus” statement.

Amorim has been so negative right from the start. Not exactly ‘doubters into believers’ stuff. Klopp was obviously limited in implementing his style when he arrived, until he could build his squad. But he made the most of what he had in the meantime and brought hope to those that were there, and the fans.

Aw, don’t say that.
Perhaps he’s actually an experimental AI?

I’ve heard good things about this lad, he was linked with Liverpool a few months back. Not a huge, expensive signing, so are they finally learning their lesson?
Here’s the revised song:
Ruben Amorim, took on the test
Manchester United’s squad, he said is the worst, he’s stressed!
Onana’s mistakes, in goal, a sorry sight
Antony’s liability, opposition’s delight!
De Ligt’s slow pace, leaves him in the dust
Maguire’s mistakes, midfield’s a mess, what a rust!
Their forwards are overrated, and pretty crap too
Can’t score a goal, to save their lives, it’s true!
Oh Ruben, Ruben, what have you done?
Taken on the Red Devils, now you’re having no fun!
Glory days are distant, solutions hard to find
Ruben’s pulling his hair out, all the time!
This was what the AI in WhatsApp wrote.

If he’s got any sense he won’t be going to Utd then.
