But you’ve shown in glimpses that you do have strong workers, when they can be bothered, and on paper you have a team full of A list footballers.
Whilst I don’t advocate changing managers every 6 months, the manager has to take a huge amount of responsibility if he cannot get these players both playing consistently and being able to adapt to different styles.
Yes, on paper.
When all are fit an firing then it's a decent first eleven, which Amorim has had them playing well. Well, I say that, but the reality is it's a decent nine, plus a ****e keeper and striker who contributes nothing. Both of whom ten Hag bought.
But 95% of that squad he didn't sign, and a good few are Ten hag mistakes, which Amorim hasn't made.
A manager like Amorim will want more of his own players in, completely and utterly 100% understandable.
We've still got Mourinho's signings in the squad ffs. But gradually, they will all be culled.
Consider what costly clangers ten Hag made, backed up by the previous regime;
Got rid of De Gea and purchased Onana for big money.
Got rid of Elanga for peanuts and purchased Antony for big money.
Purchased Hojlund on a grossly over inflated fee, who turned out to be not able to adapt to the premier league. (I said when he signed he'd never be able to carry our goal burden on his own)
Brought Mason Mount in, who turned out to be crocked and never able to get fit.
Amorim inherited all this, and is never solving it, those players are what they are.
Until we get a decent actual goal scoring, finished article, striker and a keeper who can make saves into this summer, we're ****ed essentially. And we also need Jose's signings like Lindelof & Shaw out of the door.
