PL Opposition Tidbits

[Beamrider]

£200m on forwards. 2 of them missed penalties and the third was the last outfield player to step up to take one.
Against fucking Grimsby Town.
Joke of a club.

 

[mom]

Hohoho.

Sack him. They are just the comedy that keeps on laughing

Nooooo. Never sack him. Ever.

 

[Markeh]

he needs to stay until they sign some very expensive specialised players for his system. wingbacks and cb’s that can’t play in a back 4

 

[binomial]

Sesko reminds me of Rickie Lambert.

 

[peekay]

Whoever decided that Amorim wasn't for us deserves a statue outside Anfield.

Talk about dodging a bullet.

Yup, the sort of decision that changes the course of the history of the club. Slot over Amorim was one hell of an inspired decision by Hughes and Edwards.

 

[Hansern]

I think patience is required with Amorim. He’s clearly building something special, so they should stick with him.

 

[Modo]

Honestly, I think they've got a decent XI. The players don't enjoy playing in that line up, that's pretty evident, and they've lost faith in Amorim.

Edit: minus the keeper

The 70M striker being the last outfield player to take a pen was funny too

Yeah, decent....the issue is about 13-14 teams in the PL have decent teams too......only different is they've all spend a fraction what Utd have. The culture was broken the day Fergie called time.

I love this.
What a loser.

How the hell they started the season with those two complete joke keepers is super lolz

 

[Hansern]

Should have been 3-0 btw. That was never offside

 

[Modo]

Justice in the end though

 

[binomial]

Smart guy, getting in "in the premier league" at the end there.

 

[Beamrider]

Amorim being interviewed now and to be fair to him, and I think this every time I see him interviewed, he's honest and rarely tries to blame other factors. To say "the best team won" tonight is a credit to him.
His stubbornness about his system less so, mind.

ITV X is not helpful

maybe i’m blessed with hindsight here but it doesn’t seem like a hugely difficult decision to not drop a manager playing a specific system into a pretty successful side that doesn’t play or have players suited to that system.

 

[jan]

I know the whole team is fucked and pitch was dire but fucking hell

I like how United thought that dropping a manager playing a specific system into a shite side that didn’t play or have players suited to that system was somehow a work of genius.

I’m truly torn between watching Amorim continue to fuck this up, hoping they give it to Rooney to take fucking it up to a new level or watching Big FlAnge ratchet the comedy up a level or two by playing Slabhead and de “not” Ligt-ning fast in a ridiculously high line in front of Onana.

I’m sure one of their more “emotional” players is close to chucking a full toddler tanty on the pitch - flip a coin between Fernandez & Cunha.

 

[StevieM]

Of course… they’re guaranteed to do the double over us in the league now.

 

[dee]

Penny for the thoughts of those that have thrown their careers away at United over the last ten years

Genuinely .. a penny

Fine, I doubt they will be I’d do that trade for the shits and the giggles

i think bruno fernando fleeing to saudi is a not so wildcard outcome for him right now

it’s not such a crazy idea if your team is muck anyway to bring someone in to gut it and build his own side. but big jim cut amorim off at the knees by being a tight arse, maybe they legitimately have to be tight in which case his appointment was silly and desperate.

To be fair - they’ve spent a fairly large amount on players this summer to look arguably even worse than last season - what is it… £200m+ and they still haven’t sorted out midfield, defence and keeper, while their new forwards aren’t exactly firing.

Did anyone see the post match interview with Amorim? He says it himself, the players aren't playing for him..
Has to get sacked or resign.

Too funny
