Manchester United banter 2

Some good posts on the Match Posts page.

RA has one trick and when it doesn't work there is nowhere to go. To lose at home to 10 man Everton and then to huff and puff against a poor West Ham team is pretty horrible, the win against Palace masks our current form but they were knackered, a fact acknowledged by both Managers.

The fact so many teams are inconsistent this year is keeping us mid table, we have improved but we are still horrible to watch and unconvincing.

RA's treatment of Mainoo is criminal. Kobe was a rising star, one of our stand out players, scored the winner in the Cup final, and broke into the England team, and yet he can't get into our poor performing team. RA has made his mind up, instead of polishing the diamond, he leaves him on the bench all the time, and sadly, some fans have bought into this bizarre narrative.

The Manager needs to motivate the team, but the lack of energy and urgency we see in games is alarming.

Lovely guy, out of his depth, no tactical nous, no ability to influence games, unable to motivate players, that's what I see.

I hate watching us, I have no confidence we will win any game, its all very depressing. And RA has done nothing to suggest he can change things.

“I hate watching us”, i can't echo this enough, this is not a sophisticated take or a tactical take but i can't agree enough.

We make the game of football look really hard lol, there is very little flow or feel about the way we play.

If we lose against Wolves on Monday and give them their first win of the season, we are firmly back at square one and the pressure will be back on Amorim.

05 Dec 2025 21:30:12
It is a horrible watch and I don't see it getting better. The most pivotal attacking roles in this system falls to Dalot and Dorgu and whatever mediocre wing back is played.

05 Dec 2025 22:13:10
Is there any actual pressure on Amorim though dsg? Maybe from fans and the media but by all accounts the owners are content with him and have no intention of removing him. Love to know what statistics or data they are seeing that the rest of us arent.

06 Dec 2025 07:47:46
Tim

I hear social media is alive with rumour the Glazers want Amorim out whilst SjR and co don’t, yet.

06 Dec 2025 12:46:33
Great, so basically our ownership model is convoluted and indecisive. If true obviously!

This season has to be the strangest, we have seen, with every team, apart from Arsenal, being so i consistent. I don't know what our finances will allow, but if we can get a strong midfielder in January, we could really push for top four.

The Afcon, will effect us though, but even with our poor results we can go 4th tonight with a win at home. There definitely a good team spirit there, but just need that high tempo hard work in every game now.

04 Dec 2025 09:03:19
It is one of those seasons where any team that puts a run together will push up the table. It is possible that as the season goes on we feel the benefit of no eurpean football even more as other teams begin to juggle league/europe/fa cup.

The Afcon will definitely be something we will struggle with but I am hopeful that others will step up and potentially we go early with a January addition. We could see some of the youth players step up to the first team as well which we have been calling for.

04 Dec 2025 12:46:16
It is very similar to last season, where Liverpool were the consistent team and the rest weren't.

It's a Yoyo league this year.

04 Dec 2025 13:44:04
It’s very odd with RA. He doesn’t seem to like playing the youth players that much.

04 Dec 2025 17:13:54
Who should be have played and when fallguy?

04 Dec 2025 18:20:30
We . at see some youth get ayed in the fa cup. and also as the season concludes.
Playing them for the sake of it is the right approach, they need to earn the nod, or the opposition need to be at their level.
Maybe RA learnt a lot from the Grimsby outing.

04 Dec 2025 19:04:22
You need to remember Fallguy, many of the likely candidates for the first team are in the U21s and the most likely player's are out on loan to gain experience.

There is a significant number in that position, also it is a case of the right player's for the right available position's. Furthermore, when the team was struggling it is not the best time to risk a youngster possibly being unfairly criticised by some of our ''fans''.

Having said that I think there is a strong possibility that come AFCON Shea Lacey will be given an opportunity on the right hand side, to cover for Mbeumo and Amad. I hope he does get the chance as he has been performing well for the U18s.

04 Dec 2025 19:15:11
Well, well, just seen the team for tonight. Ayden Heaven playing central CB. Promoted from academy, he is not long turned 19. He has, of course, had some injury problems which has kept him away from the first team.

04 Dec 2025 22:18:35
Somebody from the under 14’s side would probably do a better job than Dorgu and Ugarte!

04 Dec 2025 22:54:09
Fallguy. Who do you think he spoils have played and when.

Is this the 1st time ever united will have more players going to the afcon than they have English players going to the wc?

03 Dec 2025 17:51:10
Hi Ed, can you check on 2 different logins? Je suis unite posts suspiciously similar to redrebel1 on the Liverpool page. Just had a quick check and I'm intrigued.

{Ed033's Note - They don't appear to be the same poster.

04 Dec 2025 17:49:46
Supa, you love your conspiracy theories 😁.

And so he should, Nou. Genuine and a thinker. Also loves chillies.

I'm a conspiracy theorist.

Just hearing news that Remi Moses has passed away.
Very sad news, RIP Remi!

{Ed025's Note - very sad Sim0 and only 65...RIP Remi..

03 Dec 2025 16:14:24
Mitten has confirmed that this is incorrect and Remi is alive and well.

03 Dec 2025 16:28:48
Really. apologies my bad.

03 Dec 2025 16:35:01
By all accounts it’s a hoax! Disgusting if that’s true, even worse by his wife! What’s the world coming too.

The Realm is full of trolls, Maze.

The Mail are calling it a hoax.

Apparently we're shared 1st place with Arsenal for most goals from set pieces. Not so long ago we were abysmal at them.

{Ed025's Note - and you slaughtered Arsenal on here because of it NNOI..

02 Dec 2025 14:11:21
Ed’s. You know that’s typical it’s always wrong until we do it, then of course it’s brilliant!

02 Dec 2025 18:28:09
Ed025, to be fair all of Arsenal's are from corner routines, we've scored a few crackers.

{Ed025's Note - they are miles better though Shappy..

02 Dec 2025 18:33:06
In fairness Ed025 nobody here feels we're at Arsenal's level right now. We need to get goals in any way possible. But Arsenal could be much more attractive in how they play. They've a coach that is highly conservative. They're solid, take zero risks, but ultimately are quite boring to watch. Very little one touch football or intricate movement.

They can move the ball quickly from side to side and find gaps doing that. Then they play for set pieces. If we do become challengers in the next couple of years but are playing like that a lot of people will take it, but it won't change that it's a boring watch.

{Ed025's Note - they are very effective though Don..

02 Dec 2025 21:22:46
No doubt Ed, no doubt.

04 Dec 2025 17:45:56
ED025 i have to say i don't find them boring at all. I really admire them.
Mind you i can find the beauty and brilliance in a good 0-0 draw. I really like seeing good defending or goal keeping and I think we all enjoy terrible le misses.
I think they play very good football at a good pace. They do lack a bit of flair but eze will bring more of that i'd imagine saka is also getting better and more rounded.
Arteta has done a great job there imo without getting over the line.


I hope they win it this season and or the cl. Nothing wrong with his pragmatism he is still a very inexperienced manager so I tip my hat to him.
He's had great backing and support particularly in his 1st couple of seasons and the club will feel very happy and justified in their choices on him.
Ok he is probably more Southgate than Ron Atkinson 🤣 but that's ok.

{Ed025's Note - they are a very good side Ken and their strength in depth is their strongest suit i would say, to lose the likes of Gabriel and Saliba and still come up with a clean sheet tells you everything, they have quite a few flair players as well and although they can overplay situations at times they always have goals in them mate, i expect them to win the league at a canter because Liverpool have imploded and City are on the wane, no need to mention any other teams because they are all just also rans..
