The fact he's said focus on surviving is ridiculous. Embarrassing.
 
I think it is a focus on surviving at the moment, just trying to survive through each week and get some points on the board. Hardly embarrassing to point it out.

Of course we won’t get relegated. It’s tough now but we’ll start to win games. If we played Casemiro and Eriksen as our midfield then yeah we probably could get relegated! Add back in Bruno and Ugarte though and we’ll win some games as well as lose a fair few more.

Yeah even we can't drop points to Southampton
 
I'd focus on defending corners and crosses, because these goals we're conceding are real low quality.
And i'd search high and low for a player who can find the back of the net
 
At least he`s being honest I`d rather have him say that than deny it.
Nothing it seems will shake this squad out of their coma.
 
I know it may seem extreme from Amorim but the your current form is relegation form.

You guys aren’t going to go down so there’s no real danger of that but I think Amorim is right. Right now it is about survival and if the results don’t improve you guys could go down. You aren’t just losing but in games you are being hammered (I don’t necessarily mean on the score board). Newcastle hammered you in that first half yesterday.

I wish the press would stop this nonsense.

We are not going down. The teams at the bottom are too poor. We probably only need another 10 points to be safe
 
I think the players need to accept it’s a possibility if they don’t start pulling their finger out.

Liverpool - a
Southampton - h
Brighton - h
Fulham - a
Palace - h

That’s the next 5 in the league Utd have to be putting a good chunk of points on the board in that period.

He’s got a full week before Liverpool then another full week before Arsenal we have to see these flaws being addressed.

We've taken 3 points from our last possible 21. Unless there is a change of system relegation is a realistic prospect.

Whilst we should be safe. If we carry on in similar form we will get another 8 points this season.
 
The performances against Newcastle and Bournemouth were absolutely abysmal and definitely the standard of a team battling relegation. The club needs a massive wake up call like Amorin said and that includes the supporters with unrealistic expectations.

Unfortunately the team is that bad it’s hard to know where to begin with an idea going forward. Is Mainoo the only player who gets a pass right now?
 
It's definitely been rough recently.

This was always going to be the way forward though, it's going to get worse before it gets better.

As for getting relegated, well, that's not happening.
 
He’s been very wary of overloading the players physically and getting the injuries ETH had.

Think he’s already seeing how fragile our players are. Mount and Shaw can’t last more than 3 games.

Eriksen and Casemiro simply can’t play at this level physically.

I do think he has reached the point now where he has to say this is the XI we are going with and really get behind it.

I think we are starting to see some of the preferences.

Some of the shambolic individual defending I think is massively covering up just how poor we are going forward.
 
Just been reading some sporting fans say he exact the same problems when he joined. Over paid losers.

Started to turn it after 2 windows

There is zero percent chance we are relegated. You think Ipswich (who you said were dead certs for relegation), Southampton or Leicester will have enough to finish above us? That’s before you take into account other clubs who are struggling like West Ham and Everton.

I know Amorim brought it up but it’s a nonsense conversation.

We are in a bad run granted but the slump will stop - albeit probably not this Sunday but it will.

You might want to change 0% to 5%.

Whilst it's very unlikely we look worse than all but Southampton at the moment of all the teams you listed.

But worse than that we don't look like we've got an idea of how to sort it out and we look like we are out of all fight.

If he continues to play a system that so clearly doesn't suit the players then I don't see how anything changes. We've got 1 freak win against City to hold on to where we got 2 goals late on due to 2 defensive mistakes. Other than that there is zero things to be positive about and when he's starting a midfield 3 of Casemiro Eriksen and Zhirkzee I'm not sure what we can expect to improve.

We didn't need to play that midfield to know there is no legs or pace in that three.

I think at this point you revert to the 4 that these players can play just to get some points in the board. Get some players in over the summer and go to your preferred 3 then and give it a go next season once you've identified players that suit the system.
 
we need things to happen in this window.

We need players out, and a striker in for sure. Plus a midfielder, minimum

Yeah I think you are right there! Sadly Southampton are pretty much down. Ipswich aren’t going to be far behind despite their win the other night. That leaves one spot and as bad as United are they are better than Leicester and Everton.
