Manchester United's Headliners, Articles and Rumours

[Marmots]

Wasted chances in the match.
The players just need more composure in front of goal.

Why was Fernandes celebrating like winning the world cup after the penalty ?
As if Chelsea was intergalactic space gods that cannot be defeated, celebrate sure, but not as if it was unexpected or incredible.
It sets a tone, a vibe, damn over the top celebration did not re-engergize the team as equaliser conceded shortly.

For the moment, Man Utd have players better suited to 4 at the back than play with 3 center backs, which is Amorim preferred style.
Would be interesting to see how he adapts.

Lenny Yoro is scheduled to return on 11 Nov, something to look forward to.

Man Utd has to win the next 2 matches, or risk falling further behind in both leagues.
After 10 matches, Man Utd is 6 points off 4th-6th place in the EPL.
I would be very very happy if Man Utd can make it to Top 4, even Top 6 would be a good achievement, for this season.

Wow, Amorim's Sporting trashed Pep's Citeh 4-1 this morning in the Champions league with a hattrick from his best player Victor Gyokeres ...

neighbour in blue Haaland missed a penalty...look like Pep is on the decline now as his contract is nearing its end next summer....but seeing the highlights Pep shd hv won 5-4 becos there were a few chances they missed like the useless MU strikers n a few others they shd hv scored if not for the saves of the Sporting GK....

there seems to be some hope for MU with this guy as their new manager but only if he is able to bring this guy Gyokeres over n remove all the current deadwoods in the MU team...if not I pity him he will struggle just like all the previous managers n be thrown under the bus by them

Whats more amazing is come back victory after fallen behind through a Foden goal.

There had been much talk about this Viktor Gyökeres. He was playing in Coventry a few seasons ago.
Then snapped up by Sporting on 2023 in a five year deal for only €20 million.
Score like no tomorrow under Amorim.

Maybe he is 26, so didn't fit in that young profile required by Man U.

Then, get 2 craps in Hojlund and slow poke Zirkzee.

Nuff said.

What is the use of rubbing your dick over the juicy pussy but can't insert in???

foden's goal is similar to how man u concede goals when they try to play out from the back under ETH. the sporting player lost the ball when kena pressed, city regained possession, immediately create chance and scored. if amorim also want man u to play out from the back, he must think of a way to negate opponent pressing which is more intense in PL. also the ball carrier must be also to dribble his way out under high pressure, and have vision and passing range to find teammates. who is this ball carrier in man u squad? i think the best candidate is fernandes, the next best is martinez. or else go direct and pass to hojlund or the winger

sporting's 2nd half vs city is exactly the game plan to execute against such flair opponents incld pool & arsenal, be compact, restrict opponent space and counter with pace

its also impt that the squad is receptive to amorim tactics and methods, otherwise the whole drama will replay every 2 yrs after new manager appointment

Thank you!

I also go watch the highlights.

Like what Bro Rickey mentioned, Amorim needs to bring along his top striker Gyökeres for his soak and strike strategy to work.
I read on some reviews that Amorim also favor "play from the back" style.
Think he is in for a big surprise when he found out the pussies are unable to hold the ball confidently.

Btw, Gyökeres is also on many big clubs radar and Barcelona thinks he is a good replacement for aging Lewandowski.

How come no big clubs pick him out when he was in Coventry???

[Marmots]

Been following Man Utd news more avidly since sack of ETH.
Find most outlets to be just unfound made up stuff, daily express and mirror really bad for accurate news.

TeamTalk and BBC remains the better and more accurate outlet altho can be slower.

The good things being said about Amorim now, have more or less been said about ETH, therein lies the worries.
And ETH performed really well in his first season in charge, but his stubbornness caused his eventual downfall.

Amorim started his coaching career using 4-4-2, after losing first 2 matches, he switched to 3-4-3 as a make or break, if lost again, he would quit.
Won his 3rd match in charge and never looked back.

From reading commentaries on his style of coaching, he is more than willing to change tactics/strategy slightly to suit his players' strength, which is good.
But I especially like his promoting 17 year old player to first team. Encouragement and willing to play youth is always great.

The biggest worry I have on Amorim is that he would, like ETH, underestimate the intensity of EPL.
The other is naturally the deadwood at Man Utd, performing at 5/10 week in week out and have a huge wage.
Hopefully Amorim can motivate them enough and we can see a different side of them.

On another note, when ETH lost to West Ham, I was thinking, don't you fucking wish you have McTominay in the squad you dumb shit ?
I would take McTom over Fernandes any time.

i think RVN will bench garnacho as he was really wasteful with chances, rashford switch to AML, and amad as AMR where he can supply to hojlund. PAOK has poorer form but man u cannot be complacent, must go out for a win, or at the very least cannot lose

Will see what RvN is made of.

It is alarming to think that nowadays any team can go the Theatre of Dreams and will have a genuine chance to collect all 3 points.

The match is at 4am btw.

FT : Man U 2-0 PAOK

Garnacho started but on AML. Amad on AMR. Rashford relegate to bench.

And what a performance from Amad! Constant threat on the right.
Did what his other forward teammates are unable to do so,
scored 2 goals to calm the nerves.

First a wicked looping header then a fabulous curler after robbing the ball off a PAOK player.

I hope Amorim is watching and know who to start as AMR in future matches.

Man United v Leicester

Sutton's prediction: 2-1

Yah, great match for them in Europe since they hv been losing or drawing their last few in the past year...RVN has proven he is a better manager than botak cos of his shrewd selection of players for his matches daring to cast anyone aside if they r not performing n not playing his favourites ....this is botak' Achilles heel n downfall persisting in playing his favourite players match after match when he knows they r underperforming just like OGS b4 him ...

Great goals by Amad...he is a better player than Garnacho don't run around like a headless chicken like Garnacho

additional points and thoughts.

1. It is worrying as Hojlund appears to have another off day. I totally didn't know he is playing. Have to rely on Amad, which is worrying.

2. At times, I feel it is Amad against the entire PAOK team. Where is the fire from the other players??? I only see the desire to win from Amad.
They way he forcefully robbed the ball from a PAOK player to shoot in the second was astonishing by recent standards. This is what had been missing from the players all along. This is what distinguish Devils from pussies.
He was wreaking havoc down the right and PAOK players are scared of him.

3. PAOK could have also scored. But luckily their strikers aren't clinical. Like our Hojlund. Also look at the 63rd minute, the central defence totally went MIA.
Tarik Tissoudali had all the time in the world to placed the shot. Unfortunately, his tame effort was smothered by Onana.
Take a look at the below pic.

The problem is they have been buying half boiled eggs who hv no experience to play in epl...boiled eggs like Harry Kane n Toney Ivan who r real prolific strikers that can bang in goals anytime they don't want to buy citing too expensive or too old man a waste of money

its not entirely hojlund's fault, supply to him is limited as all 4 wingers style are mostly attack the flank, then cut back to penalty spot area (hojlund already in 6yd box by then), or cut to strong foot and shoot, maybe 1-2 times out of 10 they cross into the box. if hojlund had the supply from beckham giggs like RVN did, he would be scoring loads too one recurring issue is the poor quality of the final ball when attacking, must practise until they can do it with their eyes closed

amad showed desire, which is what the fans want to see. its wishful thinking but i hope he can be capt as he leads by example, if his teammates aren't putting in effort, just go keano on them

since last season, man u have this knn habit where they allow opponents comeback after going ahead. after they scored, they self pat and self praise well done and go to cruise mode until final whistle. when defending, they have the annoying habit of ball watching and not tracking runners, numerous goals were conceded this way and they never learnt their lesson! i think its more of players fault rather than ETH, really need to improve their awareness and concentration. same thing happened last night, after scoring, man u allowed PAOK back into the game, the players ball watched as the ball went to tissoudali who was totally unmarked at the penalty spot! really WTF... luckily tissoudali couldn't finish

so many issues to resolve, amorim plate will be overflowing when he starts
