Horses (or horse faces) for courses. I cannot help but think Van Nistelroy would have got better results with them but is absolute poo at Leicester.

Leicester is a championship team now. Blame that on Rodgers. The guy wrecked a team (which was pretty good on paper). The team that Rodgers had didnāt have any business getting stuck in a relegation battle.
I have no doubt that he knows the game. He might even one day be a good manager, or better. But there is a certain kind of ego that is attracted to management that seems incapable of understanding how much of their success is owed to structures around them, and therefore simply donāt look for the equivalent when they move to bigger opportunities. We saw it first-hand with Rodgers, it was Ten Haagās undoing, and it is clearly a huge part of Amorimās failure.

Add Ange there as well to the list of guys who are fixated on a system.
Klopp proved that he could adapt. Slot now proves that he can adapt.
Except slot , Iraola and Thomas Frankā¦ None of the other managers have really proven they are capable of adapting.
Disregarding Pep whoās probably having one really bad season after a long time.
Emery too as well. Add him in the list of managers who can and do adapt. But none of the newer flavours of the season.

It didnt have any business having a CL push either. That is the ultimate complexity of Rodgers - elevated a midtable team to a level they shouldnt have reached and then had absolutely no idea how to respond once things got difficult, and almost certainly made things worse than they should have been.

I didnt realize the game was today and just stumbled across the half time score to find they are loisng. And then see that the new signing who is finally going to unlock the Amorim super system is being played out of position

I think he also played right wing back at his previous club ( the flexibility in playing different positions was why that article you mentioned before sort of compared him to bale )
Yeah, I read he played on the right a lot. But the fans thought he was a LWB so are losing their fucking shit at this selection.

Poor Amorim.
Arrived with great hype and expectations.
Just couldnāt make it work.
Might succeed in the future but itās taken far too long and with no real corner in sight to turn, only multiple false dawns.
The shit had hit the fan repeatedly and heās looking like heās the wrong man.
How much longer can he last?
Perhaps ManUre should be kind to put him out of his misery but would they?
You know what his tenure reminds me of? Souness with us. But Graeme mostly fucked things up himself with recruitment.
For Amorim things come pre-fucked up. Things will get worse before they get better. Question is, how long will they give him before they demandf an uptick in their results?
Honestly wouldnāt judge any manager by how well they do at United. Think even Klopp would have walked out on them if he didnāt already have the sense to avoid them.
Think same can also be said about Spurs

I think he is on course to get them relegated next seasonā¦
Trying to squeeze a square peg into a round hole comes to mind, when thinking they are trying to get, an extremely young manager to correct everything that is wrong in that toxic club.
Relegation dogfight for the entire season, is facing them in 25/26
