United getting west hams sloppy seconds edition
With Brighton and Liverpool playing today and this weekend, could there be some agreement that both teams field a shit squad today to be at full strength next game?
>>145376377Almiron in!
>>145376469tomorrow*
>Olly Murs ISN'T SOLD On Ruben Amorim & URGES Manchester United to Appoint Unai Emery!>Murs was born on 14 May 1984 in Witham, Essex
>>145376905unironically why would Emery leave Villa for them
>>145376905Yes big clubs have fans who've moved everywhere
>>145376941customers*
>>145376934Because united are a considerably bigger and more successful club? You think kids in Rio De Janeiro grow up dreaming of playing for villa?
We’ve seen it allWe’ve won the LOTWE’RE MAN UNITED AND WE’RE NEVER GONNA STOP
>>145377074They certainly seem to have stopped, they haven't won a league in over a decade or a CL in like 15 years, and don't look like changing that anytime soon
>Real Madrid have nothing against Rodri, he's not the problem.>Their problem is France Football - the rupture is total - and Uefa [Marca] We at /epl/ SUPPORT Real Madrid's stance against France Football.
>>145377073They're a bigger club but a worse career move, the likelihood of doing well at United is extremely low. You'd think the purse strings will be considerably tightened now too.
>>145377085we can’t deny they keep winning though, something about that club just breeds success
>>145377073Villa are in the CL, and likely to be in it again next season.Emery has been given lots to spend at Villa, moving to man utd would set him back years and maybe never work out at all.
>>145377097Emery's already been burned at a club whose fans are 95% gloryhunting customers (albeit one which has never won the European silverware Villa has). I imagine he prefers proper family clubs with good owners and effecient management like Villa.
Real Madrid are genuinely pathetic it’s like a toddler who hasn’t got their way. Vinicius jr is not some superstar either, they got dog walked by city and fluked through that game.
>>145377127Emery wasn't good with the pressure of a PSG but he's good at Villa. It's why he won't work out at United because winning cups clearly isn't enough there.
>>145377127You mean Emery has already tried rebuilding a big club and failed.
>As is the way of such arrangements, his answers were to be the subject of an embargo, not to be published until Tuesday lunchtime; there to serve as a preview for the midweek match. Instead, with the benefit of imposed hindsight, they can be seen as a rather sombre obituary for a manager's career, a swansong for someone who appeared to be as unaware of his impending departure as he was about how to win a football match. >Because in his answers was evidence that, while almost every other observer recognised that the performances he has extracted from his team thus far this season have been tantamount to a note of resignation, he really did not see the P45 heading swiftly in his direction. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2024/10/29/erik-ten-hag-last-stand-manchester-united-manager-trophies/I feel sorry for him
eriksen vs amorim
also evans vs amorim
There is not a single coach who can make this team of players secure a Champions League spot. Simple as. Man United is doomed. Release cunts like Luke Shaw, Harry Maguire, Lindelof, Antony, Rashford and even kick Fernandes out because he's a shitter. THe only players worthy of the shirt are de Ligt, Mazraoui and Hojlund. >GarnachoMan U should not be a le monkey talent team. That's beneath the greatest club in history. They should have IN EVERY POSITION the best player in the world in that position. Simple as. This is embarassing and saddening.
>>145377223Harry Maguire is better than de Ligt
>Luke Shaw has suffered a setback as he’s not ready to return yet, it was confirmed by Erik ten Hag in his post-West Ham press conference.>No Shaw available for van Nistelrooy now, as @samuelluckhurst reports.
>>145377209>>145377220apparently he played with lindelof
>>145377220>What is Cleverley doing these daysHe is a manager? Send him to Man Utd
find it utterly bizarre the amount of hate Vini is getting for not taking racism laying down
>>145377196>>145377245https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBOxSrhR8N0 Not sure it will stay up but this is Ten Hag's final conference. Very odd to watch.
>>145377245this is shocking news
>>145377248if Amorim takes the job, he'll be the youngest Man United manager since 1969
>>145377280>Wilf McGuinnessWhat a fucking name
>>145377245allah willing luke shaw never plays for man u again
>>145377135i dont understand what they are complaining about
>>145377088Kinda weird how this problem only came to light as Vini Jr was boarding a jet to the Ballon d'Or ceremony
>>145378031they are saying uefa rigged the vote, which desu wouldnt surprise me as it's good pr for city/abu dhabi and uefa are easily bought
>manure hiring another middle of the road favour of the month manager from a shit leagueThey never learn do they?
>>145379090long may it continue
>>145379104How many seasons this time before it all goes to shit? I give him two
think Mourinho knew last week with his kind (although a bit sarcastic) wordsAnyway. Ten Hag will go down as one of the worst managers ever to be in the premier league. Up there with John Carver, Frank de Boer, Scott Parker and Iain Dowie. You might say their records are far worse than ten Hag's but they were not given 600m to spend on players. What really annoys me is the division it as caused because some fans genuinely think Ten Hag was the right man for the job but got let down by Luke Shaw being injured through 3 transfer windows. Those fans probably think ETH is likeable because he reminds of themselves; a loser, bald with a greying beard, socially awkward and a charisma vacuum who hides behind being technical. Being a manager is 90% motivation and Man Utd hired a clever tactician who was also a massive dickhead and didnt try to understand why the players werent understanding
>>145379124well the rest of the season is a write-off (if they do badly, it's cause he didn't have a summer transfer window to bring his choices in)then they'll blow like 300m next summer. think it will be gone to shit by next october / november or so and the pressure will be on
>>145379090If Amorim is willing to change tactics midgame and adapt, then he is miles ahead of ten hag
Arsenal fans STILL coming up with conspiracy theories and excuses why they dropped points btw
>>145379162>he didn't have a summer transfer window to bring his choices inthis excuse needs to be banned. Maresca is having no problems and everyone was expecting him to inherit a toxic dressing room with overpriced shit players
>>145379145It’s no surprise Kikebridge backed him into it was literally impossible to justify anymore. And spent his entire tenure blaming Rashford and Shaw for getting managers fired as if anyone at the club gives a fuck what they think lmao
>>145379090Amorim's going to get Bruno cooking againActually were they together at Sporting? You know what, I'm not going to look it up, Bruno will be cooking
>>145379191agreed - i'm just saying realistically i can see that happening for the rest of this season if he does badly.
>>145379206no. Bruno left Jan 2020
>>145379206Bruno couldn’t cook oven chips you actual spacker
>>145379090He's clearly the best option available to them, and they've acted fairly quickly since firing ten hag.
>>145376905United customers still think it's 1998 and they can just poach every other club in the league
>>145379226he is by far Man Utd's best player. Been shit all season but its expected he will play well again. Barely gets injured and works hard. Shit attitude tho and shouldnt be captain. Hopefully Saint Harry is given back the reigns
>>145379175prefer them crying about a goal disallowed when the ref blew the whistle about 5 seconds before it went in and they fouled 3 times in the sequence
>Amorim has to give notice period of weeks>first match looking at Ipswich (A) 24th Novbased. few weeks of racistball
>>145379274
>>145379314I don't understand why they didn't do this at the last int break if they already knew who they wanted
>>145379369probably Sporting feeling hard done by with €10m release clause and want a bit more money so sticking to the letter. They already have spoke of promoting a current coach to replace Amorim
depth-wise, United do have enough CBs to accommodate Amorim's 343 formation in Yoro, Lisandro, de Light, Maguire, Lindelof and Evansit's just that they're never fit at the same time and suddenly Casemiro will play there again
>>145379421sticking to what letter, did the release clause not exist 2 weeks ago? if they already knew they wanted him they could burned half that notice time in the international period
>>145379473>sticking to what letterI shouldve said wording of the contract and al contracts have it, but it can be bought out. Yeah I agree why wait 3 weeks
>>145377144He is still PSG's most successful manager in terms of win %/PPG and second in trophies behind Blanc (who was there longer).
Sancho is a lazy ******** but he has a point about Ten Hag.Varane and Ronaldo are multiple CL winning players. Varane won it all. And they both hated Ten Hag too. Also booting De Gea to replace him with black De Gea +50m. Cant blame the guy for feeling hard done by
>>145379522desu thinking on it, it's really bad, why hire him now and not in the summer when he was clearly looking for a PL job and Utd publicly wanted to replace ten Hag, are they going to give the job to a man they didn't want 5 months ago?
Amorim to replace the Danish fraud with a Swedish fraud(?)
>>145379175Salah didn't even play the ball there, wtf are they smoking?
>>1453792784 fouls. Havertz also handled the ball
>>145379458Where do you play Bruno and Mount (lol)? Amorim doesn't utilize an AM in his front 3. If you put them on the right, you're just further saturating the wing that 4 wingers are already fighting for. If you push Bruno back to the pivot then he's got to stop trying those hero balls that never work anymore and start passing solidly
running the numbers
>>145379175That's... not how the offside rule works... Trent is still in his own half there. That's just ignorance
>>145379692Bruno would make a good CM
>>145379717Maybe. I'll acknowledge my recency bias because Ten Hag had him playing like the ball was a grenade so that is definitely skewering my thinking
>>145379717bruno was arguably at his best under ETH when he played deeper, even though it was for like 2 games
How have Portuguese managers faired in the Premier League? Back 3 is already something the Premier League doesn't see domestically
>>145379697>team that won last 4 leagues is top left>2nd is mid left>3rd is bottom right>4th is mid left>5th is completely middle>17th is completely middleyep. The pattern is emerging
>>145379782>How have Portuguese managers faired in the Premier League?Mourinho was good (ignore Tottenham era). All the others been OK at their level (Nuno, Silva).Dutch managers have been outright bad in the premier league
there are Man Utd fans out there defending the manager who lost to Liverpool 7-0. Make it make sense
>most criticised manager in years>won 2 trophies in 2 years despite VAR always against himYou will apologise to him sooner or later. He will be back.
>>145380021defending a manager that clearly juiced every penny out of the club with his agent brother is much worse desu
>>145380075>despite VAR always against himforgetting Coventry were due to be in the final but VAR checked for a player's toe to be offsidethe Liverpool FA Cup was a great match. Same for the final, but other than that his time at club was shit and success happened from luck with VAR
>>145380426>luckvery naive
>>145380437it wasnt down to Ten Hag grinding the team to wins. Man is clueless who wouldnt change it up when his tactics got exposed. Just sat back and watch more goals conceded
>>145380489Im saying dodgy var decisions aren't luck
2021>In a press conference towards the end of his three-year spell at Old Trafford, the Norwegian explained that trophy success can be used to mask other issues in a team. Solskjaer said: "It's more of an ego thing for managers and clubs: 'We've finally won something'2024>Erik Ten Hag: Two trophies in two seasons and three finals. That's not bad. If they don't want me any more I go somewhere else to win trophiesthoughts?
>>145380654ten hag has very clearly been shoving those trophies in the face of any body who points out they play like complete dogshit in 95% of games
>>145380665on the other side of it Solskjaer never won a trophy. Even bottled a Europa League final on penalties (De Gea's shot was wide)
>>145379717>Bruno and Mainoo midfield 2
>>145380700but Ole is broadly right, if they had won that EL final v Villareal it wouldn't have changed the fact that the team was not performing to the standards required
>consistently proven right about Man Utdis it genius or that hes been there before first hand watching a once top club shoot itself in foot time and time again?
>>145380832>ten hag is not a good managerthe man is a genius
>>145380861He said in the summer its just like Brendan Rodgers at Liverpool after bottling the league. Right again
>>145380832probably the latter. he had first hand experience with liverpools huge decline (werner / hodgson and all that) and has seen the parallels over the yearsgary neville basically only knew success as a player and can't rationalize what is happening, same with all the other ex-United pundits too to be fairi also think carragher is just a better pundit and also able to put aside his bias much better than neville
>>145380832doesn't take a genius to watch them and see they're shite, doesn't take a genius to realise de ligt has been bombed out of 2 clubs already and ugarte couldn't get a game in France
Still not quite sure why having two players out injured constitutes a 'crisis' for Arsenal but no other club.
>>145381094These media narratives form and they just aren't dropped no matter what and then they feed into themselves. For the last two months we've had >ten hag chopping blocl>dhuran vs watkins>arsenal injuries>spurs no set piece coachingFootball media is just shit
before the decision to be offended has been decided has the Persian Zoroastrian community been questioned?
>>145381148couldn't believe I heard Neville talking about narrative after the game when 30 seconds in to the game he was talking about all their injuries himself and spoke about them extensively in the days before the game
>>145381278so glad we got rid of this cunt lmao
>Michael Oliver made the biggest fuck up of his career two days ago>swept under rugso business as usual. has he been told to take time off yet or is it the typical slap on the wrist?
Gotta feel sorry for Chelsea. United been shit all season and just before they play, they get a new manager. New manager bounce guaranteed.
>>145381679He's not going to be in by then. Rudd will be doing the Chelsea match
>>145381676>>Michael Oliver made the biggest fuck up of his career two days agomegalol
>>145381723Man United always pull results from the depths of their cavernous arse right after the manager gets sacked. Don't ask me how but they always do it.
>>145381740you now remember Ten Hag's honeymoon period of Brighton 2-1 at home and Brenford 4-0 away
>>145381740new manager bounce is not a united only phenomenon
>>145381740cause they actually try for a few games under a new manager til they realize they don't like him either and down tools. a never ending cycle
>>145376377Why did ManU hire some noname if they have Ineos money and could hire top tier coach.
>>145381870just like to say under ten hag the players did not down tools. Some were ousted, others were professionals who didnt like him, but they didnt down tools. The players either couldnt understand the tactics or ten hag poorly communicated it
>>145381925it's just a thing people say now without thinking, if you actually watch them play it's obvious that they played for ten hag until the end
>>145382001ive never watched manchester united play so you'd be correct
>>145382054smart
most premier league wins by nationality>Scotland - 14>Spain - 6>Italy - 4>Portugal - 3>France - 3>Germany - 1>Chile - 1this is going back to 1993 winner when foreign managers became the norm. Its point to go back further because its Scottish managers 80% of the time
>>145380832Anyone can see the problems, but he doesn't offer any solutions.
>>145381882b8
>>145381760They used the bounce in pre season. Beat Liverpool 4-0.
>united hiring the guy who it looked like city were afterI'm just going to assume this will fail like all of the other city 'bait and switches' until I'm proved wrong
>>145381882Amorim was Man City's 1st choice if Guardiola decided to leave.
>>145382778>>145382793They poached City's Director so it's likely a decent plan.
>>145382778I see it as hiring an actual up and coming manager rather than ten hag who people said was up and coming but is in his 50s
>>145382793I don't think he was desu, he's a 3 at the back type and they've never wanted to play that.Alonso is the hottest property and likely to fit with their timeline.
Can Amorim take Gonçalves with him? Been dying to see that guy play in the prem.
>>145382890watch this space ;)
>>145382856City do play 3 at the back when they're attacking.
>>145381094A few years back it was Liverpool and now it is Arsenal. The narrative just jumps around. Could be something to do with that both teams had two seasons of no injuries before they got injury problems. Had they been spread out over the three seasons or constant injuries over three seasons it wouldn't have mad the headline.
>Sporting 0 - 0 NacionalCANCEL THE CONTRACTITS TEN HAG ALLOVER AGAIN
>>145383491>you
>>145383491kwab
>>145383491>Nacionalwhy cant they spell their own name right
>>145382778seems half baked to me, they wanted ten hag out in the summer and didn't want Amorim then
>>145381278Maresca seems like a very rational manager. Will simply play the team he thinks will do best, bring in players if they perform well after a cup match/substitute appearance. I don’t think anyone wouldnt be tempted to try and force Nkunku into this team. He’aprobably is a better striker on paper, and was a sort of statement signing at the time. But in reality Jackson has done very well this season and Nkunku has been mediocre at best and that seems to be the only thing that matters to Maresca. It’s so simple, yet so refreshing to see a manager at Chelsea simply pick the players that are performing well and play them in positions they can handle.
>>145383772>and didn't want Amorim thenNobody but ineos knows if thats true or not. Do you really think they sacked 10head then got on the phone to sporting that night lmao?
>>145383809I personally think they lined up Amorim to see if he was interested but they thought to stick with Ten Hag. Then Brexit Jim had enough and sacked baldy on the spot
>>145383809>Nobody but ineos knows if thats true or noI know it's true because Amorim flew to West Ham mid season and got snubbed and Utd were clearly and I mean very clearly looking for a new manager and dind t find anybody they liked
>>145383777helps that he has 5000 options to choose from
>>145383685>>145383701check the score again TWATS
>>145383920why do you think i replied in the first place
>>145382856Leverkusen play 3 at the back
>>145383920yeah, it's 3-1 you knob
>>145383937>>145383983>conceding to nacional
>>145384002>moving the goal postsfitting
>>145382793You're lying. City haven't said a word to any of their sources about replacing Pep yet.The Amorim link isn't even a real link. It spawned from a question Amorim was asked by a journalist. City are getting Sporting's director in the summer, Amorim was asked if he was likely to follow him to City. Amorim gave the I'm not thinking about those kinds of things answer. That's it. It's not even a report or has a source, you're just lying based off one question Amorim was asked in a press conference
Mental that United customers are losing their shit over a manager who was snubbed by West Ham
>>145384142Annnd the cope begins.
>>145384002>somehow worse than losing to west ham 2-1
>>145384166Dave, pal, he's been snubbed by several PL clubs. He's looking for that nice payoff in 6-8 months when Souhgate becomes available
>>145384142>snubbed by West Ham and Man Utd 5 months and 200m on more ten hag shitters ago*
>>145384198keep coping coper
>>145384209This desu. In the summer they thought he wasn't good enough to do better than 8th. Now they're cruising 14th and suddenly he's good enough. Says a lot that when you lose to West Ham you go for the guy West Ham rejected
this thread is now a /watch our league/ general. congrats on following a portuguese league match
im ABABU
Being 14th again is diabolical in all fairness
>>145384277im still trying to figure out their refund policy, those portuguese are a little shady about the whole thing.
>>145384292TWOT R O P H I E SROPHIES
>manure went from 20th to 14th in 3 years kek
>>145384308Didn't save him did it?
>>145384323good. I get second hand embarrassment from a man utd manager boasting about a carabao cup win
>>145384292>from 14th to 11th then back to 14th in the span of 2 weeksIts literally never been this bad. West Ham rejects ARE an upgrade
>>145384292yeah ten hag had to go, doesn't mean hiring somebody you didnt want in the summer is a good decision though, Amorim may work out but the larger questions about the people running the show remain
>>145384351>West Ham rejectFrom what I recall they couldn't reach an agreement on pay. Amorim wanted more than West Ham were willing to give. You could easily say that West Ham just couldn't afford him
>>145384364>but the larger questions about the people running the show remainI agree HOWEVER the new CEO and DOF only started mid July after the ten hag stays announcement. They probably gave an 'OK' unofficially though
>>145384386yeah but it's funnier if you just make it up that he got rejected
>>145384386You could, but that doesn't fit the agenda>>145384398Exactly. Its funnier to say he's a West Ham reject
>>145384398>make it upnobody is making it up though, they literally rejected him
member when Liverpool were struggling to find a manager after Alonso and Amorim SNUBBED them? this was 9 months after Klopp told them he wants to leave
Oh that's right, Amorim couldn't even get in the door with Liverpool. Fuck me he's been rejected a lot hasn't he?
>>145384571strange how liverpool contacted him before Slot. must of been a pocket dial
Barcelona also picked Flick despite the supposed interest in Amorim
Amorim got you lads quaking in your lil tighty whities
>>145384602>club with no money doesnt pay release clause
>>145384602So he's been reject by Barcelona, Liverpool AND West Ham?
>>145384655to answer your question, no to all 3.
>>145384655KWABOTY
>>145384655Yes.He humiliated himself by flying to West Ham during a title race to discuss leaving, and had to apologise to Sporting fans. This spooked Liverpool because it showed he was a retard. Barca briefly looked at him but thought his tactics wouldn't work at top level
>>145384655West Ham at least returned his call and rejected him to his face. Unfortunately he would then have to apologise to Sporting for this embarrassment
Talk about embarrassing!
Awww the Amorim rejection train has gotten to little Davey. Yes, yes, its somehow Arsenal's fault Amorim was rejected so many times
Do NOT remind him of this one
>>145384701>>145384717>having to apologise for not being good enough for West Ham
>>145384753KNEW it was you hahahahaha0 CL
>>145384788Why are you replying to yourself Arsewog?
Why are you guys making out that Amorim is a bad coach? Manchester City wanted him and Liverpool wanted him but weren't willing to pay his desired salary or release clause.
so what happens to ruud now?
>>145384872>Liverpool wanted himthey were interested until he went full retard and flew to West Ham, then they stayed away
>>145384872Lad he got rejected by West Ham. WEST HAM. That tells you all you need to know
Gentle reminder Amorim got rejected by WEST HAM after flying to London to talk with them during a title race
>>145384896They were interested until they saw how much his release clause was.
>>145384872You're lying. City have never shown interest in him.Oh and for the record, he never got to even speak with Liverpool or Barcelona. Stop lying about City though, you've done that twice now
>>145384914they paid the same money for Slot lad
>>145384914This is hilarious cope, liverpool paid £10m for Slot, the idea they wanted Amorim but wouldn't pay is pure delusion The reality is his system doesn't fit and his personality and character is questionable
>>145382281lol we own the premier league
>>145384950>>145384970And they never actually spoke
>>145384939Cope, even the most reliable ITK on redcafe said City have been tapping him up for 2 years as Pep replacement and united jumped in and stole him
>>145384872He's done respectably well at a mid-tier European league, but has no real experience in one of Europe's top leagues. He is no different to Ten Hag, the pressure of the Man Utd job will swallow him whole.
>RedcafeBruh
>>145379710kek how the fuck did nobody call this out? are you legitimately fucking stupid? the player receiving the ball has to be inside his own half, it's not just the passer.
>even the most reliable ITK on redcafe
Liverpoos on suicide watch
>>145384998>even the most reliable ITK on redcafeI don't even know what to say to that.Anyway stop lying
>>145385043So Slot is the Poundland option? Kek
>>145385058Dave never stops lying
More like Amorimjob.
>>145385043Lmao I thought you was larping but Liverpool are actually broke bitches. That's embarrassing as fuck.
>>145379782again, how the fuck did nobody call this out?Conte dominated the league with a back 3 until he imploded in typical Conte style. Guardiola regularly uses mixed 5atb systems with Gvardiol (or Rodri before he went out injured) playing as CBs.why are brits so fucking clueless??
>>145385086Tuchel also did really well with a back 3.
Who is the Vince of the EPL?
>>145385118Sir Alex Ferguson. Every manager and player still pays respect to him. He's like a Don.
>>14538228113 of these are ferguson's lol
>>145385136Bro Vince shits on women while fucking them
>>145385151>Rapenaldo>Rapewood>RapetonyManure sounds like the right place for another sexual deviant
>>145385118Doesn't he have some weird black cock fetish? Probably Todd
>>145380654Both of them are right in their own way. Cup runs don't make up for bad league form, which is the true mark of quality for a team. If you're finishing midtable with the most expensive team in the league then it means you're failing to get the best out of the players on a consistent basis. But at the same time, being able to get over the line with your team and win cups does require a level of tactical flexibility that certain managers (like Ole and Southgate) lack.
>>145385151source?
If any neutrals are wondering about the current meltdown and cope, it's arsenal fans realising in terror that united have taken the last good available manager, so when arteta gets sacked they're fucked
>>145385151He's a grown man who dedicates his life to wrestling, what do you expect? I'm just surprised he isn't a paedo
Ten Hag got sacked for winning more trophies than Arteta. Big club mentality.V O L U M E S
>>145385023I was going to earlier but couldn't be arsed desu
>>145384906Well West Ham is a better club than United at the moment so I can understand why they have higher standards.
>>14538504310m lad officially reported by the BBC
I'm just wondering what the ITKs on Redcafe have to say about it desu
>>145385313I can't believe he actually said that
>>145385274That's the price for United, you silly poohead. Any club in the top flight of Europe has to pay 17M.
Do the Redcafe ITKs know he was rejected by West Ham?
>>145385043They will deny this
Indy was first btw
How fucked are Man City when Pep leaves, realistically?
Ruben tomorrowim
>>145385395kys indy
>>145385426very fucked, ITKs on redcafe have just been saying their succession plan is up in smoke
>>1453854832 years of planning just gone!
>>145378479Both of them are overrated shite
>>145385426Now that there 1st choice manager is gone? Very.Imagine going from Pep to De Zerbi.
>>145385426The athletic says they've been sounding out alonso but surely he's going real
>>145385274>Irish literacy
>>145385564>Billy numeracy
kek they are COPING
>>145385514i might just be naive but part of me thinks xabi wont do any english club besides liverpool (and if that option won't open up he'll do madrid and bayern instead)
>>145385580>£9.6m is smaller than £8.3m
>>145385611ahhhh your pretending Liverpool couldn't afford an extra 1.3m now, would've made more sense to pretend bbc are wrong and it's really 20m like you did originally
It really doesn't matter since it Liverpool never even spoke to Amorim to discuss anything, let alone approach Sporting
>>145385426they're very well run so i imagine there won't be a huge drop off
actually Liverpool paid even more for Slot so it doesn't make sense anyway
>>145385639>everyone replying to you is the same person
Damien Duff >> Amorim, taking fucking Shelbourne to the top of the Irish league is more impressive than taking the 3rd biggest Portuguese club to the top.
>>145385703Irish football is wank
>>145385426Did Pep even handle transfers at City? It seems like Grealish and Haaland were sort of forced on him and not the sort of profile he'd usually prefer. I'd imagine City will continue to make sensible moves in the transfer market even when Pep leaves, although their level of consistency will likely drop under the new manager.
liverpool didnt want amorim anyway cause 3 at the back doesnt work with their systemslot could fit right into the system klopp left behind in terms of personnel and tweak it a bit to his likingsimple as
>>145385739Txiki Begiristan handles transfers, he's leaving next summer with Hugo Viana taking over
>>145385797Cope
>>145385805keep warm tonight david
>>145381185I cant wait for this image to be spammed on here when united lose. Its already funny.
>>145382793Was mostly media speculation since the Hugo Viana thing was announced. City haven't spoken about the mangers the want outside of them praising Xavi Alonso.
>>145385426They'll go from being unstoppable to a decent upper table club. Long term they will never ever recreate this period of success ever again.
ten hag's ajax battered amorim's sporting 5-1 in the CL btw
>>145380426All the red cards, all the penalties against United. Its pretty obvious mateEspecially during ETH's time. The whole "its United, dont treat them any differently from any other team" and then hold United to wayyyy higher standards than any other team.
Arsewogs must be semi jealous that we are getting a new manager while they're stuck with the same hairy spanish fraud who they cant sack because he frauds his way to 2nd every year but never really does anything else apart from cringey team speeches
>>145389821Then Ten Hag imported his Ajax team AT GREAT COST and became the weakest team in European club football lmfao
another fun fact is that amorim's sporting knocked arsenal out of the EL during the bottling season>inb4 who cares about the EL bruvarteta apparently cared, he fielded a strong team that day
>>145391288good post
>>145391288I remember Arsenal conceding from 50 yards lmao
>>145381278>”He has to continue to work hard”So it begins
>>145391288I remember Arsenal fans being particularly bullish that they were going to walk the EL (and that match in particular) on the way to their treble season
>>145381278
>Barcelona>Liverpool>West Ham>United
>>145392862

what, you mean there are midweek PL games this week?
>>145393880KWABsenal
>>145390313arsenal fans are completely fine with this thoughthey can be classed as a 'big club doing pretty well' without any of the pressure of actually winning anything apart from whinging about city every year
Good Morning ladsIt was right for Ten Hag to get sacked. It shouldve happened in the summer. The best option was Tuchel but they missed that opportunity. the next best thing was a premier league proven manager who deserves a step up i.e. Frank, Emery (it is a step up). Id say its impossible to get one of them midseason. So Man Utd have banked on a gamble again but its a foreign manager who is a genuine up and coming (not a 55 yr old like Ten Hag) and deserves a step up. In a similar way to Slot who is clearly showing why managers like this deserve a step up
steps
whats the word from the redcafe ITKs? (im a united fan but that irish website is a joke)
>>145394504>Emery (it is a step up)
>>145393880
>>145395251The Arsenal line up for the game was pretty comical. It was also the game when Saliba got injured and Arsenals season got derailed.

We were so close to the black face era. This is what they are taking from us. Image the memes if Ruud stays in charge.
>>145395843Same energy
>>145395340Stop lying. This is just pathetic cope now. Amorim gets linked with everyone because he's one of the media's village bicycles. There ONLY thing linking him to City is him being asked a question about Viana. Go ahead and find a single piece of evidence for your lies
>Labour budgetMe to Ireland here we go!
>>145395890I think the links are genuine to all the clubs. I think it’s a bit bad as Amorim has his head turned at any chance of a move to a bigger club/league. Leaving mid season is part of it.
Can't believe Chelsea picked Maresca over Amorim
>>145395945>t. Redcafe ITK
>>145395976That was a huge gamble. Equivalent to hiring Kompany after his first season at Burnley
>>145396019>picking Vincent Kompany TM over AmorimJust wasn't Amorim's summer
>>145396061Could be because of pay out? Not sure if Chelsea have another hotel to sell?

>>145396960Not surprised to see someone leave man utd and improve.He wasn't even that bad when he was there.
>>145396979The Clownbridge lot were calling for him to be sold. Not sure if they’re United fans

>>145396979most wanted him sold, no idea why because he was their best striker without even being a striker
What a disasterous owner Big Jim is shaping up to be. Still got the hole in the roof
Know nothing whatsoever about Amorim but I WILL make my mind up on him based on the first half an hour of his first game
>>145397224uhhhh... yeah, i'm thinking based.
>>145397224Shall be making up my mind on him after his first loss, new manager bounce does not count (if he loses his first game then he’s a mega fraud though)
Like the United players and the media I'll be waiting for Sir Rashy to give his judgement before even attempting to form my own opinion
>>145377245>CoD releases>Shaw unavailable againNot very subtle
lengthy propaganda here
>>145398562paid pr has been an obvious Ratcliffe tactic since coming to Utd, no serious person can defend hiring Amorim now after not wanting him in the summer and spending another 200m on players picked by ten Hag
>>145398562I miss when twitter had a character limit
>>145398562skimmed most of it, same old shitbut the comment about whether he'll be a head coach or manager (like what happened with slot) is interesting and will show what INEOS plans longterm
Wild amount of attention for a 14th placed club
Mad how United can spend what they want because PSR doesn't apply to them (does to everyone else btw) and they're still lower midtable
Oh look those 2 teams that Chadnited kicked out of their hard earned 6th and 7th place Europe spots are playing eachother tonight>>145394257Sadly very true!>>145390448Also you know constant ref bias against United in europe. That too.

If you are in a dressing room and Van Nistelrooy is giving you instructions you sit up and take notice, and at times with Ten Hag didn't look like a credible personality that could convince. The package with Ten Hag didn't really work and at least Van Nistelrooy has the appearance and the presence.Fucking lmao. Journos already shilling for van Nistelrooy to get a permanent job somewhere.

>>145396979I've said it before but he's a decent-to-great ball progressor when if you give him the ball then he can just glide through a bunch of players which can be surprising for someone who's almost 2m tall. Also who can forget his great finishing skill?the problem is his decision making on where to pass, or how to position himself to be available receive the ball can be spotty (which was one of his biggest criticism back in United where he'd just there in a match only doing cardio and didn't touch the ball that much) and his defensive awareness isn't that great either. And those weaknesses that made him a liability when played deep.

Van Nistelrooy was a very good player but the issue is that we all remember - except Dave, 190 and you zoomer youngsters - how much of a pussy hole he was during the ''Battle' of 'Old' Trafford'. Hilariously missing a late penalty then being subsequently BULLIED with Roy 'actually a soft cunt' Keane, CR 'not fat Ronaldo' 7 and Ugly 'Gary' Neville having to step in and fail to look after him. Martin 'shit pundit' Keown made him his little abitch!!

>>145403775I would say at home to Southampton being the easiest draw imaginable. Southampton away being 2nd and Palace at home being the 3rd easiest draw.Not that it matters because Arsenal has a way of always crashing out of the league cup as soon as they get drawn against any semi-decent opponent anyway.
>>145404983he's not quite right though, imo. McTominay's main strength is his ball carrying because he's strong and fast. what he's shit at is playing in a double pivot and receiving the ball with his back to goal. his passing is fine but he's not going to be punching balls through to the forwards. he's a ball carrier through and through. what has changed for him is he now plays higher up the pitch (which indog mentioned) and can crash the box. ironically, the one coach to realise this and unleash him was big Stevie Clark.
>>145406482oh, just read this post. yeah, agreed with all that.
