Tbh epl refs and var have been quite shit and inconsistent

Sporting this season:

Played 9, won 9. Scored 30. Conceeded 2.

7 points from 9 in CL

Thats impressive

This is a good hot solid young manager

Both Liverpool and Chelsea were seriously looking at him for this season

Thought he might be Pep's eventual successor at City

I am finally getting worried and once again I say this as a Liverpool fan

Because there's nothing happy to post about till the sacking.
Was a loyal supporters of Ferguson's era never missing a live weekend match.
But after he stepped down, lose interest watching live, only highlights but still supporting w aching heart.

With RvN in charge temporarily, we have a 'temporarily' new start.
Have had a few new starts since SAF but have been false dawns, tho can see from news comments the Solskjær was the most promising but cut short, and Solskjær said Antony was worth £30m at most.

If it is going to be temporary, the expectations can't be, nor can RvN win every match, but bring back the spirit of Man Utd.
Not the senseless passing now.
A lot of fingers are now pointed at Bruno, but however good or bad he is, can't turn the tide when the strategy and team spirit sucks.

There are still problems in the squad, esp dalot at this point.
Will it be better just to throw a youngster into the deep end and replace dalot ?
Can it be worse ?

Man Utd have 4 home games in a row, twice vs Leicester, before going into 2 weeks break.
Going to be decisive period.

But for us Man Utd supporters, we have hope again, for now.

Looks like Amorim likely be the guy.

He has no top leagues credentials but has done wonders with what he had.
I reserve my opinion on whether he is a good choice.
I prefer RvN first, and Nagelsmann second, but Nagelsmann very very unlikely.

If Man Utd select Amorim, I will support him until he proves otherwise.

Sorry mate, seems like that's not going to happen after all...just read a report that SJR n company want to bring back OGS as manager becos he is a free agent doesn't cost them extra $$$ ...it's shocking but they say they can't pay for a good one like Amorim as it would breach PSR n FFP rules...if that's the case better to give to RVN then i/o OGS....didnt they consider this b4 allowing media to speculate on Amorim's appt ..

they r so fickle-minded n up to now still can't decide who they want....just yesterday only Xabi was touted to be the next manager n today suddenly it's widely confirmed in the media that Amorim is cumming to the Theatre of Dreams instead...tot they r decisive pple n makes decision fast....give up on them...no wonder I was thinking how cum Amorim is so interested to cum to manage such a shit club ....still think Amorim will go to their neighbors in blue as their next manager when Pep leaves next season....it's easier life for him ...

so hold yr horses guys, wait for an official announcement from them b4 talking abt who is the next one to succeed botak n clear the mess in the club

Seem nia...no confirmation from any official source...rumours hv it that they want to call OGS back for free....again there is no official confirmation abt this either....so now everything we hear or read is just rumours

My thought abt the sacking of botak…

I once thought he will be the manager to lead us to challenge for title… clinching 3rd place and champions league spot in his first season… wining us the energy drink cup…

Just when I thought we will improve from there… who did we sign? Onana? Mount? Pls don’t ever tell me this 2 players improve the team… poor signing season after season… Antony at 80 millions make us the jokers among rival fan… out of all his ex players only Martinez didn’t let us down…for this season signing… did anyone impress ur guys so far? Not for me at least… so the question boil down is the owners wanting the players or the manager?

And to be very honest… I don’t care who come in now? Cos u know what the main prob in Manchester United? The players and the owners…

In this squad can u name me more than 5 players to wear the utd badge!

I can name 3 for now
Martinez
Mainoo
Garnacho

The rest? They are just here for the money including our rashford and Bruno…

Trust me even pep or Zidane can’t save Manchester United now… clear out the deadwood and with glazers and Jim around I don’t think we will ever win a title again

God bless my club that I have supported more than 20 years

there is alot of chatter about amorim becoming the next manager, if he decides to join, tiagong there is a notice period he has to serve out before joining man u. perhaps RVN may be interim for a few more games? top priority is to steady the ship first during this period of transition

vs leicester in EFL cup, how will the team set up look like? i think it will be the usual 4-2-3-1, but more compact and sit slightly deeper so that there won't be gaping holes in their own half if they lose possession. mazraoui is injured so martinez will play at DL, the experienced evans at DC, amad gets his chance as rashford bochup liao, ugarte (higher workrate and defensive capabilities) to partner casemiro in midfield for the physical presence, fernandes to drop deeper as playmaker

both man u and leicester form not good, but hope RVN can lift the spirits in the short run and the OT crowd be the 12th man

UNITED 2 - 1 LEICESTER

i think ETH sacked primarily due to several reasons:

1) rigid tactics
- play out from the back every game, even against opponent high press, the defence was under immediate pressure once they lose possession in their own half, this issue wasn't resolved after 2 seasons and despite new signings

- midfield got overrun with increasing frequency which also coincided with casemiro drastic drop in performances since season 2. this issue wasn't resolved since season 2

- didn't switch to a back 5 defence despite allowing opponents many shots at goal and the way goals were conceded is blood boiling

- instructing the full backs to invert, they moved infield and left gaps on the flanks which were duly exploited by opponents to overload or cross whenever man u lost the ball

2) deteriorating performances and results
- ETH did not address the issues stemming from his tactics, its the same plan every match, performances and results worsen as season 2 progressed. man u won the fa cup because it was a diff game plan: sit deep and compact, and counter with pace, it was not ETH own plan

- during season 2, man u could take the lead, but cannot hold on to it. many times they couldn't kill off the game and allowed opponents to equalise or even concede late winners, ETH did not address this issue quickly enough. is it concentration? is it mentality? is it complacency? is it nervousness?

- in some matches, man u could start brightly and dominate the initial proceedings, but if they couldn't take the lead, things would go downhill from there. in some matches, man u was slow off the blocks, got increasingly nervy, defended like schboys and conceded

3) player sentiment
- performances and results under ETH were similar to OGS's, OGS also wanted the team to play out from the back but he didn't have the personnel to pass their way out from opponent high press. when results didn't go their way, i dare say the players started to quiet quit, they must have felt disappointed that the manager used the same plan regardless of results and wasn't able to adjust the tactics according to next opponent. even though the players didn't say it publicly, their performances were telling in the final months leading up to the sacking of either manager. (also notice how delulu both managers were during their interviews in their final months)

- read online that ETH would use extra training as "punishment" for poor performances/results, players would be tired before the next match, lose and then go thru extra training. its a vicious cycle as the fatigue would snowball, affected matchday performances and the unhappiness keeps piling up

to trololol, here's 2 extreme suggestions: 1) sell players who are 24 and older, and promote youngsters to 1st team, let them play together for 2-3 seasons and the understanding should become telepathic, fast-track the wonderkid chido obi-martin to 1st team. 2) reform the wage contract system, players don't get paid if they lose or draw, get paid if they win, and attractive bonuses if win the title or UCL. enough motivation boh?
