His crouching down* and pacing up and down the touch line like a prison inmate about to shiv someone must send the wrong signals to the team. It’s a terrible look.That clip of Amorim playing with his magnets is up there with Turnip Taylor and The Wally with the Brolly.
Reckon he's finished there.
In fairness someone needs to explain magnetic fields …. His magnets keep slipping probably due to the polarisation of the pad he is using.. this will explain how his wingers go missing and Bruno keeps disappearing from midfield and ends up on the wingAmorim appears to have been found out, it seems. His "system" worked for him in Portugal, but he has been unable to successfully implement it here, and he doesn't appear to be able to set up other suitable formations. Basically, he's a one-trick pony.
If he does eventually find players or adapt his existing players to successfully implement his system, other, more astute managers, will simply adapt to countermand his tactics, and he'll have nowhere to turn to.
It's good that he's been found out at United, and didn't succeed Pep, as some were hoping for.
Is Ole no longer trusted to drive the team bus?Mourinho and Ole double act must be on the cards.
Mourinho to front the press after each defeat and Ole to put out the cones and make sure no one parks in Fergie’s slot.
Isn't 3421 just a fancy way of describing Park the Bus Hoofball?Amorim will only play 3421, which means they have to have a midfield 2.
One of the 2 has to be Fernandes.
Mainoo doesn’t fit next to him, he’s not defensive enough, more box to box.
So Ugarte or Casemiro have to play instead of Mainoo.
AGENT Amorim is actually selling their flair players in order to shape his squad to his tactics.
It’s what happens when you don’t modernise or invest in infrastructure and waste money on inferior products. Just like the entire UK in fact.To their credit; it’s amazing cautionary tale.
I think it’ll be studied in business management courses in the future

Imagine the formation under Waistcoat...Isn't 3421 just a fancy way of describing Park the Bus Hoofball?

One pundit claimed United couldn’t cope with Grimsby’s direct tactics. But Grimsby played through their midfield at pace all game. United were playing hoofball most of the time.Isn't 3421 just a fancy way of describing Park the Bus Hoofball?
Which is the only style of play united have used in a long time anyway, including under Amorim.
He was outplayed by Grimsby’s midfield because he was too slow and seems to have no spatial awareness. Running around like a headless chicken is “the United way.” Rico Lewis is a much better player and so is Nico O’Riley.I'm curious to know why Amorim seems to be freezing Mainoo out.
Don't get me wrong, Mainoo is hugely overhyped and overrated as per all united "wonder kids" but it seems a bit odd that Amorim isn't apparently willing to give him a chance.
All he needs is a tin foil hat.In fairness someone needs to explain magnetic fields …. His magnets keep slipping probably due to the polarisation of the pad he is using.. this will explain how his wingers go missing and Bruno keeps disappearing from midfield and ends up on the wing
'Park The Bus Hoofball'.. love it, am nicking that for discussions this evening over dinner with a Red Filth supporting chum and our Evertonian pal! A hybrid term worthy of Monty Don and his 'Gardener's World' colleagues (as in the Latin 'Parcus Omnibus Lumpae'.!)Isn't 3421 just a fancy way of describing Park the Bus Hoofball?

Ole is no longer trusted to sit on the bus, never mind drive the bloody thing.Is Ole no longer trusted to drive the team bus?
Someone is in for another big disappointment.Taken from the Pistonheads united thread, as ever they just constantly veer back and forth between "we've got a decent manager but crap players" to "weve got a crap manager but decent players"
I'm not sure what's worse, the delusion or the cringe factor...
I said before the appointment of RA that Southgate is a perfect fit for ManU at the moment.
There's an ensamble of top quality musicians that need a talented conductor to bring them together and play in harmony
Strategies and formations aren't the concern at the moment - its far more fundamental than that.
Southgate would really get things gelling imho
Pleeaaaaaaaaasssssssseeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!OGS back at the wheel?
It's going to take a little more time before the media and most pundits catch up with the rest of us, and see the rags for what they are.One pundit claimed United couldn’t cope with Grimsby’s direct tactics. But Grimsby played through their midfield at pace all game. United were playing hoofball most of the time.
