EPL - Matchweek 19

[Live in the Now]

If you think he would have as poorly with Liverpool's material, you're out to lunch. I don't know if Liverpool's material is suited for 3-4-3 but their material is much better than United's.

Ours is not remotely suited for 3-4-3, but neither is United’s and a good coach would know that.

how it takes this long and is so ridiculous is beyond me

You’re not wrong. He’s more than a little naive. But I don’t think anyone can put much faith in it unless he’s given time to overhaul everything. My issue with it probably is the geniuses in charge should have likely gone caretaker, then made the appointment summer or when he could have had an actual training break.

But this way he knows exactly which players don't fit the system. Gives more time to plan for the moves.

He might. He also probably has enough ego that he would have torn everything up.

Slot is doing very well because he’s taken what was at Liverpool, added, given structure and revitalized what was not working (Salah, Trent). He’s also getting more out of guys like Diaz and Gakpo than Klopp was.

Liverpool were not bare bones. Sure. But it’s also a sign of a top manager to come in and be able to work with and get the support of those players. No idea if Amorim could have.

If he’s worth anything (and I think he is still, I just think the club and the players they won’t move will get him) he would know all that without even stepping foot in that cesspool of a stadium

But Amorim system is planned to be THE system and he warned that it will take time and that there would be a "storm" when we see players who are not suited for it surfacing.

 

[Ceremony]

We lucked out with Amorim. He seems clueless lol.

The man is balding before our very eyes.

 

[Chimaera]

That's been an issue for the last 10 years basically. At what point do you stop blaming the coach for it?

Well clearly when they won’t flog off players who were bought three managers ago, there’s certainly a lot of blame to go around.

 

[JPBolts]

this VAR check took way too long

 

[Peen]

Chelsea should be up. Been unlucky.

Until the bean counters get too nervous, or fans lose support (already some whackadoos worried), or the club won’t be able to get rid of some of the contracts they have.

When do we consider it a relegation scrap for United?

 

[Power Man]

wow united sucks

 

[Live in the Now]

Uh this is gonna be ugly

 

[Chimaera]

When do we consider it a relegation scrap for United?

Their rivals did lose this past match day.

 

[Live in the Now]

You gotta ask what kind of idiot would use those two old men together in midfield. You can't blame anyone else for that decision.

 

[Jussi]

The "Sell/bench Bruno" crowd predictably quiet when he isn't playing and United aren't creating anything in offense.

 

[Peen]

What is disasi doing man

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Am I meant to believe that Wes Burns is a grown man

Because that was a standard corner jockey

 

[Venkman]

Deserved sub. Zirkzee was shit. Casemiro, Eriksen, Maguire and Martinez just as bad.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Probably the first 45 minutes of this season where I felt like I did in the first few months under Pochettino

 

[Jussi]

Zirkzee might be done at United.

 

[Peen]

Two posts and an assist taken away for Palmer this half.

Zirkzee is just a really tall untalented guy. So you love to see this.

Newcastle just destroying UTD. The buildup to Tonali's shot off the post made the D look invisible.

Who would you put there instead then?

The guy he put in before halftime (which is a coach admitting they really messed up)
