Premier League 2024/25: Man United vs Nottingham Forest- Sat 7th Dec - 17:30 KO

I made no excuses. Of course it was a terrible performance today but it’s away from the norm of his other performances this season. But I guess I fully expected once he had a performance like today he would be shamed brutally on here.

I guess I feel he's also got away with a few this season without flak because people were looking to pin the blame elsewhere.

He's been good this season and had a couple of standout performances. But it isn't like he's in the shout for keeper of the season. Which is how some have made out this season.

And you don't win leagues with inconsistent keepers. He's another that will need to go.

It's because it's a running theme with him.

Imagine this game was of real importance. You just can't win a CL or PL with someone like him in the team. He's always going to be a mistake waiting to happen.

He's been decent before today, I will say that, but as I said above and in the past he's just not good enough.

I don’t rate him never have, he’s ok nothing more.
Giving defenders balls when they’ve got someone right up their backside all the time, stays on his line too much on set pieces.

I don’t disagree with you that he might not be the guy going forward but I still think there are still so many more issues above needing to change the keeper.

The thing with him is that once he makes an error I feel like he goes to pieces and loses his head. If he’s having a good performance he’s a confident guy back there.

It has been a good season so far and he’s made some brilliant saves but today was a horror show.
 
It’s a narrow field but before today he was by an absolute mile our best player this season.

Not saying that’s a good thing very much the best of a bad bunch.

I hope 1 bad performance doesn’t see him lose all that confidence he’d built up over the last few months.

Going forward we created 2 good chances but in the 3 of the 4 league games under Amorim we have struggled to create chances. We get into good areas but we not create enough good chances at the end of it.
 
I know we're not doing so well, but I am enjoying the games more
Yoro and the keeper could have done better on the second half goals

These players need to wake up and fast its not the first time time they`ve come out half asleep conceding goals early in a half maybe turn the heating off in the dressing room? sick of the same issues not being dealt with.
 
Now guys be honest, did you want me to start the ‘Sack Amorim?’ thread now or wait a while?
 
Onana had a bad game. He needs to control his box more, be forceful. Doesn't help him that we don't seem to defend the front post well at all. That's down to the coaching team.

We looked pretty going forward, until it came time to make the telling pass. Too often Hojland just didn't know what to do with the ball or where to be at the right time.

He`s got to come and command his box better, the advantage of being able to use his arms..you know that three foot extra that no one else has is totally lost with him.

You're enjoying the games more because ETH is gone. Not because we've improved. I implore everyone who is saying we've improved to look at the last 3 ETH league games with open eyes and not caring who the manager is and the first 3 league games since Amorim has been in charge.

We've gone backwards not forwards.
 
We seem to have more possession, more functional attack and just a nicer brand of attacking football to watch.

Defensively it's carnage
 
I know that I might get slated for this but in my humble opinion we should start with the midfield changed to 5 like this if we play with a back 3. Amad, Uguarte, Cas, Mainoo, Maz. Rasmus and Zirkzee up front.

It really isn't. We haven't had more possession or control. We have vs Everton. Forest, Arsenal and Ipswich(!!!) Comfortably outplayed us.

People are just watching what they want to see. The last 3 performances under ETH were much better attacking performances than the first 4 we've seen so far. Light and day difference. It's baffling people say we look better going forward. Simply isn't true.

That's why I urged you go and have a rewatch because at the time you weren't watching what was happening but just hating ETH being there.

I understand the blind optimism that comes with a new manager. But the performances have not improved. Saying so is just lying to yourself.

I don't see how Mainoo fits in Amorims system at the moment. The system just doesn't suit the players. Bar Diallo everyone looks out of place.

Think I saw we don't have a week off until February. He's getting no time to really work this system. But that's an issue every manager at most clubs have. It's hard to implement change. I also just don't think this system will ever work in the league. We've never really seen it be successful for anyone bar Conte at Chelsea who only used it out of desperation and got found out with it the following season.
