Both of the big new signings missed

 

Is that Amorim's Wally with(out) a brolly moment?

 

United couldn't win with a penalty shoot-out xG of 8.69.

 

Wondered this myself earlier.

 

Do the opposite of what you think the right choice is as that is probably the right choice.

 

I hate this shit with teams in Europe in a second pot. Just pointless.

 

Also it’s wild that Amorim sat in the bench for the penalties. I can’t remember seeing many coaches doing that in a game like this. He must know his future was gonna be decided on those PKs

 

That gif of Amorim playing with his tactics board is already being memed to death lol

 

Unbelievable haha

 

Man, Amorim looks totally defeated in the post-match press.

Can’t tell if he’s admitting in them that he’s totally lost the dressing room or that he’s realised just how rotten everything is and that he can’t make all of the changes.

 

I fully expect him to resign after the weekend

 

Between this and literally hiding behind every other outfield player in the shootout last night, I’ve never been more convinced we made the right call.

So strange to see this mentality in a young striker.

 

Sesko a very lucky boy in that literally everything else was so embarrassing about the night, the manager has had a meltdown, that the penalty issue has gone under the radar.

 

I was pretty pissed off with Sesko picking United over us and now I'm not sure whether I'm feeling kind of smug about it or whether it's kind of sad that it's looking like it maybe was too high pressure a move for him.

Also, given United have struggled so much to get to grips with this system, why on earth did Amorim not roll out a stable back 3 and wingbacks for the match last night? Chopping and changing like that, when things are already looking sketchy, looks really stupid now.

 

Xavi Simons is apparently in London deciding between Chelsea and Spurs. More pain on the way.

 

We should bid for Xavi Simons just for bants

 

Luka Vuskovic off to HSV for the season. I was kinda hoping we’d keep him around but he needs more minutes. Only 18 years old so would be putting a lot of him to play big minutes in PL. But I’ve never been more convinced of a young player. Dude is gonna be a stud.

 

Debut tomorrow night in the Hamburg derby? If Carlsberg did debuts.

 

I’d hope that we only go as far as an official bid if we had assurances from the player. Even if we did get that, doesn’t meant anything these days as we saw with Eze. So who knows.

 

I'm ready to be hurt again

 

Watching a Mark Goldbridge highlights video after a United loss must be how it felt for neutrals to watch AFTV back in our banter era. Just 20 minutes of pure joy and comedy.

 

amorim making sure United get knocked out of all the cup competitions so they can soley focus on the PL

 

Fucking hell, that is a TOUGH draw for Real
Madrid, wow
