Again the percentages argument is worthless in my opinion. Nothing you say convinces me otherwise.
ETH may have had a better win percentage but that first season he was riding off Rashford’s anomaly season where everything he touched turned to gold. Sadly Amorim doesn’t have such player who can do anything like that - he had Rashford but he had downed tools long before Amorim came along. Casemiro could run in that first ETH season and he added that stability and experience in the middle of the park.
I don’t think anyone is saying this run of form isn’t disastrous but again mitigating factors are causing it in my opinion. Amorim has inherited a very poor squad as a collective. Still got some good individuals but there is no cohesion or stand out quality in the squad. Bruno is our closest to a world class player.
We are in relegation form under Amorim. I believe it's now less than a point a game. The excuses you make can be made. But are we really worse than the West Ham side. Are we worse than the Everton side? Since Amorim took over we are 17th in the league. Really think this lot of players would be anywhere near that with Ole in charge? Is it a poor squad? Perhaps. (I disagree) is it a 17th in the league squad? You're having a laugh.
You can't keep making excuses for this rubbish. At this point it's on the manager. He's had enough time with them we should be seeing improvements but with each game it's getting worse.
The fact ETH got Rashford performing wasn't a coincidence. It isn't difficult to get Rashford performing. You just sit in and play in the counter. But when both Ole and ETH did it the fans moan it's not the way to play. That's when results faltered.
You realise it's on the manager to create the cohesion? And if there is no cohesion its on him?
For me anyone saying win percentage doesn't matter is having a laugh. Football is about results first. And fundamentally if we can't get wins he isnt doing good enough. All the excuses in the world aren't enough when you are sitting at a 26.6% win rate.
Just how poor is this side?
Onana - I think he's woeful. But you actually like him.
Dalot - Was probably the best right back in the league last season and we told Madrid we wanted £50m when they came in for him.
Maguire - Walks in to every side outside of the top 6.
Martinez - See above.
Dorgu - Too early to tell but you lot seem to think he's amazing.
Mainoo - Young and struggling since the managerial change but was exceptionally last season and isn't a team in the country that wouldn't sign him.
Ugarte - We paid £60m for him in the summer and everyone agreed it was a good signing (though I was one of the few that questioned his passing).
Garnacho - One of the hottest young prospects in football has the ability to score with either foot and again every side in the country would love to have him. We turned down £50m in January.
Bruno - Words aren't needed. Probably the second best player in the league.
Amad - We paid a lot of money for him as a youngster and now it's finally coming to fruition thanks to the management of him last season.
Hojlund - Needs to kick on but hasn't really done anything.
The squad is far better than those around us. The manager should be getting more out of them. It isn't a very poor side. It's a decent side that should be comfortable top half.
