Mine too. Apparently he was trying to be ādown with kidsā by wearing a bucket hatā¦

Weāre normally in North tier 2 and we were on the fourth row of the South Stand on Sunday. The camber on the pitch still isnāt great but it was good to get a different perspective and to hear Amorim loosing the plot with some of them!

Thanks mate. Summed up the mood!
Play well today š

Haha! Itās so shit. The keeper is worse than Leighton and those two big lumps in attack are more of a hindrance than a help. I was ready to jump the fence and perform an intervention when I clocked him bringing Lindelof on š¤Ŗ

Made a nice change for us today. The managersā high pitched rants actually kept me awake for most of it. Had to refrain from politely but loudly asking āwhat the fuck are you thinkingā when he brought Lindelof on!

Still available?

There's some obvious issues with those defenders but they'd look so much better without that idiot behind them spreading panic at every opportunity. Similar to Leighton 89-90.

Iād love to see the young kid given a chance but could do a lot more harm chucking him in with those dickheads.

Offers nothing. Unfortunately the alternatives arenāt likely to offer much more.

Squad player, heāll do for now but will need upgrading.

Thatās enough for me. Forlan-esque

Spot on, his presence makes us so much worse. It was clear after the Champions League last season his team mates werenāt having him.

It clearly wonāt apply to all players. But if heās saying his system wonāt work with these players and he needs specialists then thereās every chance the next one will say the same š¤·š¼āāļø

And it looked pretty daft at the time š¤¦āāļø

And Utd havenāt got a pot to piss in so he wonāt get the players he need and the ones he does get for his system will need replacing for the next bloke. Rinse and repeat. Marvellous š

Hope youāre right! Patience is desperately needed at home but it will be irrelevant if he isnāt given the tools.
comment in response to
post
I really hope so and thatās all we can do but still worry they panicked and have set him up to fail. Weāre not set-up to produce youngsters suitable for his system and they donāt have the money for the necessary squad rebuild.
comment in response to
post
Really like him and obviously hope he can make it work but itās destined to fail again if they canāt/wont back him in any meaningful way. Promoting kids that play a completely different system every week isnāt likely to fix things either.
comment in response to
post
Agreed. The Glazers are clearly the root cause of the current mess but the decision to stick with ETH made things so much worse. Ridiculous that fans are now literally paying the price for that.
comment in response to
post
Not at all. I was arguing that saying āUtd being 15th is unacceptableā for a club of our size isnāt being āspoiltā or āenitledā.
comment in response to
post
Fuck knows!? Until the Glazers have gone nothing is likely to change.
But I donāt think itās spoilt or entitled to say this is shite/unacceptable.
comment in response to
post
It takes āBrewsters Millionsā levels of mismanagement to be the biggest and be this bad, however infrequent.
comment in response to
post
Agree to an extent but surely itās all relative. Thereās no excuse for a club the size of Utd (or Spurs for that matter) to be this shite. I donāt believe that expecting āthe biggest club in the countryā to finish above 15th is spoilt or entitled.
comment in response to
post
Bottom three/four are that bad we should be OK but best we can hope for is probably 16th. What a shit show.
comment in response to
post
The worry is the same thing is likely to happen with Dorgu/Heaven. if they don't hit the ground running whilst playing in an awful side devoid of any sort of leadership they'll be written off as shite. It's already happening with Yoro.
comment in response to
post
The pressure at Utd and the current mood at OT would see them crucified after a couple of poor performances and most won't come back from that. It's a concern with the (long overdue) shift in transfer strategy towards younger players with high potential ā big expectations and bugger all patience.
comment in response to
post
Weāll have to sign cheap/potential but weāre then gambling on them flourishing in a dreadful side playing in a really negative environment. Suspect the patience required will quickly run out when they inevitably struggle.

They go into more detail in the book about what happened to the kids in the wake of her disappearance and the impact itās had on their lives since - itās heartbreaking.
comment in response to
post
Yeah. itās much more about āthe disappearedā and the wider issues surrounding their impact. It doesnāt focus on Dolours Price as much as the TV show (despite her being on the cover!).
comment in response to
post
Itās very good. The book is even better šš»
comment in response to
post
Defo worth considering in the Summer if we can get big money and that results in a decent striker. But a last minute cut price sale to balance the books could leave us really short for the rest of the season.
comment in response to
post
Bit of both surely. Ultimately itās on the Glazers but the decision to hire/sack Ashworth and keep/sack ETH has tipped us into an area where we have to sell now.
comment in response to
post
Spot on. It really shouldnāt need saying.
comment in response to
post
Agreed. Although Iām sure Iāll be calling him all sorts when my season ticket goes up 20%!
So much needs to change and itās likely to be painful in the short term. Optics on the ETH/Ashworth debacle obviously didnāt help but some of the changes are long overdue.
