Anyone still thinking 3421 and Amorim is the way to go?
Carrick has done an excellent job but has played the best 11 in their best positions.
While this run may not last it does go to show how much we lowered expectations and estimations of the ability of the players. I’d also hazard a guess Steve Holland is having a significant impact too.

Utd road i was an unapologetic fan of amorim. I think he did an awful lot of good things and brought about very good improvement in our league position year on year left us joint 5th
I was not a fan of 3 at the back. He was too rigid and should have been more open to other formations.
There is no doubt Carrick woodgate and Holland are doing a great job so far and that is a good thing for all us fans.
Villa slipping today is great I hope city win tomorrow just to give a little gap for an inevitable poor or unlucky game we will have in the coming weeks.
5 well qualify for cl villa might lose out unless they pick it up again.
All is sunny on our side of the street right now and momentum is everything right now. We've not had sustained momentum for years. Let's hope we keep riding the wave.
Then in the summer make the right appointment and sign the right players to extend the momentum into next season.

Utd Road, like Ken I was a fan on Amorim and felt he did a huge amount of good stuff for us both on and off the pitch. I feel like we never quite got the chance to see the best of him.
That said, under Carrick this "feels" right, this feels like Manchester United, not a fallen giant trying to find a new identity.
Ultimately maybe that is what we have been looking for all along.

Like I been banging on for months RA was hurting the club more than doing good, I said all along any half decent manager could do much better even with the existing squad, RA was terribly underachieving what good did he do, every player regressed smile and gone the joy had gone, ok he got rid of a couple, but let’s be fair look at the mistakes that outweigh those departures, there are so many mistakes, he was too naive too one way and miles out his depth.
I guess the usual mob will bang on again….
