Off Topic Non-Sunderland games

'You have to ask a question of the goalkeeper' ...

... f*ck off Neville you clown.

 

Amad good effort there

 

Well obviously Spurs changed to a back five yesterday and it was backs to the wall for 90 minutes the same as us. Henry was more in depth talking about how it doesn’t work if certain players don’t play their role ie the full backs but Carragher was saying how it’s negative and they’ve slated Amorim for playing the same system for the last year.

You can see it in action here again.. United just look so flat, they’ve basically got 5 defenders plus Casemiro on the pitch. So they’ve 6 defensive players then Bruno F but because they’ve got that extra defender they have a body less in the midfield and good teams exploit that. So not only are they trying to battle for the midfield with a man less there also trying to break teams down with a man or two less depending on who you compare it too

 

Thought grealish got subbed he’s been that quiet

 

Mbuemo should have had a red for that kick in the box and his fake injury.

 

Amad not too happy

 

Save Pickford

 

What a save from Pickford

 

What a save lad

 

Man U have been so slow, methodical and measured moving the ball, no urgency whatsoever to get players and then the ball into the box

 

Boils my urine how we lost to them there really nowt flash

 

But, to flip that, it makes our point against Everton look canny

 

Pickford again behave Neville man that wasn’t easy

 

4 minutes added lol

 

Booooo lol

 

as if we lost to these

 

Good win for Everton. Utd were a bit ****

 

Tactical genius that Amorim mind. Plays nearly eighty minutes against ten men and looked like his team were a man down.

Chancer that bloke. All that " I have an idea" rubbish.

 

We somehow let them have space to run into, and they are really good at that. With men behind the ball against them, they look pretty poor.

 

He's typical of a breed of managers/coaches today in that they can only think of playing one way no matter what. Him, Martin, Liam Manning, Will Still... Dogmatically anchored to one style of playing or one formation (even if it doesn't suit the players), too stubborn or arrogant to change when it's not working, alienating players by not picking them. They can mask their short comings for a while with the right corporate/management speak and the right buzz words, especially if they've got some players who can do something out of nothing to get a result. But when it doesn't happen their faults are there to be seen.

Manchester United still have some very good players in their squad, Bruno, Amad, Mbuemo, Mainoo, Mount, Shaw, Cuhna. Even the much maligned Maguire is actually a decent centre half and a goal threat from set pieces. It's these players that have dragged them out of problems at times, while as a club they've ruined players like Sancho, Hojlund and Zirkzee and look to be doing the same now to Sesko. Amorim will fail, disappear to the continent and start again there, most likely to be replaced by another one cut from the same cloth.
