Contrary to people (Rap) who want to make excuses about our new year game schedule being so unfair for us vs Liverpool, the total opposite is true

1) we have had 2 extra days to recover before the brentford game

2) our following game follows a typical champions league Wednesday Saturday schedule, nothing unusually tight

3) the following game is Brighton, who have lost 2 and drawn 4 in December. They’re one of the most out of form teams in the league

4) Liverpool face man utd after we do the above

This means if we stop making lame excuses about not having an ‘unforgettable New Year’s Eve party’ to one side and go out there with a league winners mind set, we can close the gap to Liverpool to just THREE points before they play Man Utd. This puts ALL the pressure on Liverpool to beat Utd who as shit as they are might find a way to do something against them just as they routinely have done vs city in recent years

Our fixture schedule vs Liverpool’s is a huge opportunity for us.

Ofc if we want to complain about an insufficient New Year’s Eve party we might as well just go home now and present Liverpool with the title

"Manchester United's transfer debt to other clubs is £331 million, which is the highest it has ever been. This is almost double the amount owed two years ago. United's transfer debt is the second highest in the Premier League, behind Chelsea's £479 million" -centerdevils on IG

Arsenal owes just less than £30 million to other clubs.

I think the days of United being able to spend as they wish on transfers are over. The monies saved from staff gift cards and christmas parties will come in handy.

They are royally effed

To those who don't believe Liverpool will have a blip like Chelsea are having, wallow in your self-pity.

3 games ago some posters had Chelsea nailed on for 2nd place.

Goes to show how quickly things can change.

It's not like managers have never taken over big club squads with average squads in midseason before.

Amorin needs to show why he was so highly rated

At least make them harder to beat first, just do something ffs.

Your team sucks donkey balls. No manager is changing that. Stop trying to polish a turd. Rubbish players all over the pitch, and you think anyone can make them better. Imagine coming on an Arsenal blog to say United aren't as bad as we think. LOL. Get in the bin. Same with all those Chelsea lovers thinking that basketcase of a club turned a corner. The PL over the course of a season has always had a couple reset periods where teams occupying false positions get bitten in the ass and sent back to where they belong.

You sure your drinks weren't spiked?

My comments were about Amorin who's regarded by many [including me] to be one of the best young managers in the world and yet he's turned bad situation into a free fall decline.

There's nothing I wrote to suggest that I gave an eff about United.

Best young manager based on what managing in Portugal pls. That league is not a barometer for managerial brilliance.

That's what they said about Mourinho

Amorin deserves to be sacked

This United squad is better than the results and performances they have had under him.

However bad the squad might be, he is not rising up to the moment.

A good manager would have them at least showing up.

Really already ? Come on

We know they aren't good enough for top-4 but they are better than Amorin is setting them for.

This is more than just the tired excuse of "squad aint good enough".

He is sticking to his guns and principles or playing philosophy and he wil until they sack him, basically what Arteta did until the squad learned he ain't going nowhere even though they finished 8th twice. They gotta be patient with him being in a project is painful and still is under Arteta though you can't fault then progress and you can't also fault for wanting trophies this year that's a result of the project success. If it was a failure we wouldn't be expecting trophies.

They have a poor squad but not as bad as they have been under Amorin.

Is that too hard to understand?

Whatever Amorin is doing, or trying to do, is utter dogshit

He needs to get pragmatic and address the free fall decline

Not doing that should put the manager in the spotlight.

Are you implying that they have to buy a brand new squad for him before he can arrest a decline.

Maybe he's walked into the wrong job but he can't be untouchable in this situation.

Expand full comment

That's quite the bang average squad they've assembled over there, even the Brighton and Bournemouth front line carries more threat than whatever combination united can put up

"In-Stadium Var announcements will be trialled at next week's Carabao Cup ... The trial will run over both legs of the upcoming semi-finals - where Arsenal, Newcastle, Liverpool and Tottenham will all be in action.

It'll mark a first in English football, with referees set to announce the final VAR decision after taking a trip to the pitchside monitor or upon the conclusion of factual matters."
