Any coincidence that our best performance of the season (still pretty bleak viewing) was with 5 at the back? Maybe Amorim was on to something after all and just didn't have the players.
If Amorim had Baleba I think things could have been quite different.

100% JD.
The most sickening part, Wilcox and crew got Baleba (injured), and Carrick is muddling through trying to figure out how to get the best out of the sum of parts Amorim was assembling.
It is comical to watch.

Wilcox told Amorim to play a back 4 and now he's telling carrick to play a back 5.

I don't know why I keep doing this to myself. Watching United is a sort of autodestructive behaviour.

I wish people would stop talking about Amorim like he was a managerial god. Everyone here mostly wanted him gone yet now most change their tune.
19 Oct 2026 17:59:44
I think your wrong Spence.
The ones that wanted him gone are sat quiet now because Mr 14.3% was their saviour and the footballing intelligence CATW serves up is the worst I've seen in almost 50years.

I am not quiet. RA was poor really Poor.

What is CATW. I can't work it out you've used it a few times?.

Carrick at the wheel!

Jsu, Amorim's football had an end product, in that it was a process, we all knew that from board down to fans. He said as much from the outset. We all knew, from board to fans, we had assembled a squad of misfits, and it would take several transfer windows to reverse those bad decisions.
Yes he got himself sacked, but that was after fan pressure and board not backing him that he self imploded.
With Carrick, there is no vision, the football is the worst we have seen for generations, the players aren't with him and he will be gone soon.
I struggle to see how anyone can make a case for Carrick over amorim.
In every metric Amorim. wins.

That's the same when people say Lammens is great keeper Yes if you are measuring him against Onana, but the reality is he ain't a great keeper he is OK. RA was exactly that OK I don't get the stars in your eyes RA was great are we forgetting the teams he lost to, the state of our play and after 2 seasons no one could even see a plan B
Carrick is no better, neither should have been anywhere near the level required to manage United, none of them would make any other supposedly top 4 club, Scousers looked at RA and said no thanks for good reason .

He is a great keeper. Put a crap defense in even the best keepers and they become average.......
19 Oct 2026 23:02:48
I think he is well above average he sees easy too much of the ball start his feet for my liking so will make more mistakes from there.
He same his fair share when not favourite. Would look better with different tactics imo. Still the least of our worries in defence imo
