Interesting snipped from BBC
"Ruben Amorim had remained wedded to his preferred three-man defensive formation with wing-backs since his arrival at Manchester United.

But the Portuguese coach changed to a four-at-the-back system for the victory over Newcastle on Boxing Day, before reverting to a back three for subsequent games.


Reports had claimed Christopher Vivell, United's head of recruitment, called on Amorim to adapt his system following a detailed breakdown by Fulham boss Marco Silva of his plan to counter it following the draw between the sides at Craven Cottage in August."
 
Let's not lose the run of ourselves, he is/was a half decent player but far from a world beater or one to think that got away. Only his third appearance of season. We're so crap at the moment that everyone seems quality
That's some fine cherry picking. What about all the other seasons? He played 31 times the season we sold him, and well over 100 Prem games since. Practically an ever-present for four seasons.

(Sorry for late response)

New Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior’s dad was once sacked as manager of Torquay just 10 minutes after being appointed, although that sort of stability is a thing of the past now.
