He’s a 3-4-3 guy so it will be interesting to see what they look like in that shape. He described his English as ‘rudimentary’ apparently so that isn’t ideal but the guy has certainly impressed at Sporting. Supposedly he turned down Liverpool before they went with Slot so I don’t necessarily see this as a done deal though.
Maybe in a few years if he can get some better results as a manager….
First match against my boys tomorrow….we’ll lose for sure now lol! Hope not, usually doesn’t bode well for my other teams if Chelsea lose early…
He will join MU after the international break.
really bummed I couldn't make it yesterday and that the final is in KC no matter what. Love what the Spirit have been doing on and off the field ever since Kang took over
United looked fundamentally the same IMO. Think Amorim is a better coach than Ten Hag for sure but their main issue is I don't think there's a single guy on the roster besides Fernandes and maybe Onana that are title-winning caliber.
Title winning caliber?!?!? (said in my best Jim Mora ‘playoffs!’ voice), that team finished 8th in the league last season. They certainly have enough talent to compete for a top 4 spot but it will likely take them a while to adjust to Amorim’s preferred system. Ten Hag was a disaster though so in the long run this should be a good move for them.
Yea I totally agree it will take Amorim time and in the long run it's a great move. Don't think the results are going to turn that much though because I think the roster stinks. That 8th place last year was a complete mirage and by all underlying metrics they should've finished significantly lower. The talent gap to City and Liverpool (and Arsenal to a lesser extent) is still massive. Do anyone besides Bruno get into any of their 11s?
Again, not sure why you are comparing them to the top teams talent wise. But they have enough talent to compete for the 4th champions league place. They were definitely less than the sum of their parts last season as well as this one and that is on ten Hag IMO.
