    Chairman would probably do a JD Vance - Zelensky on him and ask him why he isn't wearing a suit.

    Last night should be his last ever appearance for us.

    Not only did he cost us both goals (with help from my boy Amad in the case of the first one), he didn't really get close to any of the penalties. Half hearted 'dives', that were basically falling over. Which is his MO.

    Needs sorting.

    Him and Ugarte, who is startlingly bad.

    After Gordon got sent off the other day, I'd tell him he needs to go get his haircut before I'd let him play again, scruffy bastard, needs to tidy up his game, bit of discipline and attention to detail...probably woke or something and not allowed to say that these days...but it's what I'd be saying...

    It's mental that you've spent £200m on attacking players, but haven't addressed the GK situation. Onana has been a liability since he joined Utd

    It's almost like he's been jinxed by my Onana watch thread.

    Indeed. I like to think that our ****posting on not606 has a direct influence on the misfortune of players :)

    Last one is sourced via a long lens camera into @Solid Air 2 living room ... not that reliable, a bit temperamental and susceptible to major static interference...(and mood swings)...

    Some "journalists" and "pundits" saying Amorim can't come back from the defeat last night. Utd would be mental to sack another manager imo.

    Oh well, they must be right then.

    Just had the displeasure of listening to so called United 'supporter' Andy Goldstein on TalkShite on the way home.

    First, I'd be surprised if the Essex **** had been within 20 miles of Old Trafford, the fake ****er.

    It bothers me that people like him seem to think they speak for the rest of us, and broadcast it over the radio. Talks over the top of people who don't share his view Amorim should he sacked.

    He's just a Twitter poster via a different media. Faceless **** who sits there watching it on TV and is outraged by what he sees.

    It's a complete lack of any clue.

    What is, Amorim?

    He has got a clue, but he's completely inflexible and can't get the players to do it.

    A lot of it is the likes of Dalot, for instance. He's still there, he must have played under six managers, but he can neither defend or attack.

    Yet is playing RWB! Amad definitely isn't a RWB either, so that position is completely exposed.

    The middle centre half of the back three should be capable of stepping into CDM role in possession. Yet, de Ligt and Maguire are both cumbersome units. So don't do it right.

    This is all critical to Amorim's system, and hasn't been addressed.

    He either resigns, or he starts playing 4 3 3.

    I think he'll do the former.

    I mean the journos and pundits. Amorim should have the players he needs for his system but I get that isn't easy. I agree that he needs to live with that fact and adapt.

    He's statistically the 2nd worst Utd manager in history.

    The worst got them relegated.

    There's a reason we decided against amorim and that was his insistence on playing his preferred system, as opposed to slot who's system was very much similar to klopps and what the players were already used to playing.

    I dont think he's a bad manager as such but you have to be able to adapt in life and he's been there long enough to have found a better solution than just sticking to something that simply isn't working
