That shove by Yoro did make me laugh.

That's on Bayindir for getting sucked totally out of position.

And then once again there isn't a defender in sight in the middle of the play.

Pulled a hammy while not sprinting. Thats a neat trick.

Just stop playing out of the back. Seriously.

They are seriously getting worse at this instead of better.

I really have to wonder if Amorim gets another season.

Lol...well that seals Onana's return on Thursday. Bayindir went mom's spaghetti on his one shot.

Way to hand Onana his job back

Well the Bayindir experiment wont last long.

This is embarrassing.

Turned it on right before Newcastle's 4th but...whatever I guess. Not a great way to go into the biggest game of the season.

Ugarte going 90 minutes in a game that is 4-1. I'm guessing that signals he isn't starting on Thursday. Even Bruno got subbed out. Casemiro and Bruno in midfield?

Was Amass any good?

I don't think "good" is adjective I would choose for anyone out there in red today.

He was getting pushed around a bit, which I think physicality in the Prem is kind of the concern with him. He's wasn't the problem, but he didn't look like a near term solution either.

We play a system with 3 CB and somehow none of them actually defend the middle of the goal area.

We play a system requiring a GK and defenders to play out of the back and none of them are actually capable of doing that.

They constantly get in each others way. There is no spacing between players. As a result a pass to one is often misplayed by a second player in the way. And because the spacing is so bad the passes are too hard and they have no touch.

I really think Amorim has a 50/50 chance of getting sacked. Partly because they have been so incompetent looking on the field but partly because they are so incompetently run off the field.

Firing Amorim before next season would be the dumbest United move in the last decade. And that's saying something.

Fat fingered an angry face emoji from my phone. Sorry about that

I think he's safe to get to next year. If next year goes like this, though, boy, I don't know.

That sounds about what was expected. My guess is his start was as much a decision to give Dorgu rather than a vote of confidence for Amass.
Dre_00
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yeah 13th in April of 2026 is a different story. Even if he only gets a few players this summer, there will be an expectation of improvement at a minimum.

In fairness, Newcastle was pretty blatantly targeting him, and the ref didn't do much to get it under control either. When I posted about laughing at Yoro, the Newcastle player was bullying Amass, Yoro pushes the Newcastle guy, immediately gives the "What? What did I do?" Gesture and got the card.

Watched most of the Villa/PSG game last night. Rashford was at times wasteful but he was often an absolute menace. His play to set up Villa's 3rd was incredible. Old Marcus Rashford stuff. If he continues to play like that, I can't imagine that Villa don't activate his 40m transfer clause.

Zirkzee out for the rest of the season. Shame as I thought his play as a facilitator had really improved. Who's ready for all Hojlund all the time?

Amorim also confirms Onana to start tomorrow. Probably the right move given Bayindir's poor performance on Sunday. I don't think either are who you want to see in goal but if you have to choose, I guess you choose the guy who you've committed more money too and cross your fingers.

Of all my issues with ETH, his keeper room management may have been my biggest. No top level team should be in the position we are in.

Pulled a hamstring against Newcastle. He was subbed off before I started watching so that's about all I know.

He pulled a hammy midway through the 2H. It looks like it's a recurring injury for him. He had hamstring issues at his previous club.

Italian media reporting that United are interested in Atalanta's Ederson. Standard transfer gossip rules apply but 60m EUR is reportedly what Atalanta is asking for and considering his performances, skillset (good at ball progression), team needs, and age (turns 26 in the summer), it would seemingly be a potentially good, smart, transfer.

I guess paramount couldn't afford a commentator. Crowd sounds and live Mike? Yep. Anyone talking from a studio watching on a screen? Nope.

Well that was a nice give and go sequence. Nice drop by Garnacho to Ugarte.

I was late and just showed up for the goal!

Was the commentator taking a pre-match poo? Sounds like they got one eventually.

Well I guess we wont be calling fouls today. There were 2 on Hojlund and neither got called.
