@Hosang I am of the opinion that the points we’ve gained since Carrick arrived would be at least the very same if Amorim didn’t press the self destruct button. We have not played any better.
English
Aston Villa have been hugely lucky this season, and now their form is degrading.
Manchester United have been hugely lucky since Carrick started.
Wonder how that’s going to end…

I’m not one to look back but you really do wonder what the fucking hell Amorim was doing with this team, not great today but won comfortably really against a team who’ve been top 3 most of the season

Any manager who has SPURS at heart❤️

@claudelittner He's lost every game Claude! Who would you get in to replace him if we sack him?

@hosang I’d like to draw some attention to the fact that Bruno tried his absolute utmost to let Everton back in the game last night by trying too many ridiculous passes yet again and at one point decided to stop tracking back on a dangerous Everton attack to moan at the ref.
English
The system is the floor.
The players are the ceiling.
The gap between your floor and your ceiling has a maximum gap.
One cannot simply “platform players” to achieve consistent league success.

@talkSPORT Someone please drag this guy into the barbers so we don’t have to hear anymore about him

@hosang Margins were very tight as to how we as fans view this season. Turn just 4 of those games where we absolutely should have won based on chance creation we would all be getting very excited about being in the title race. Amorim was getting there slowly but surely.
English
I might be captured, but I know that Amorim won 24 times.
As a data scientist, I can also confirm that 24 is a larger number than 14.
Like Mike@Trill_MUFC
You seem intelligent it’s just a shame you’ve been captured by the Amorim cult, maybe one day you will get your wish and he will let you smash 🏳️🌈

@DiabolicalDuck8 @hosang We haven’t had any evidence so far that we can do that since his departure. Fletcher drew with Burnley and lost at home to Brighton so no improvement there. I’ll wait until I see how we get on v Fulham before lavishing praise upon Carrick.
English
@philvwell @hosang So basically we were winning when Amorim had to play the opposite style of how he wanted to play. But when we had to play the awful teams and he got to play his style of choice we would lose….
English
All the decent football data analysis accounts recognise United’s underlying progress under Amorim.
The real ones, not the pretenders.
English
Steve Holland being Carrick’s assistant very much smells of Southgate taking over in the summer 🫣 This would absolutely tie in with the boards track record so far of making horrendous decisions.
English
@hosang I’m sure Wilcox has done a Homer Simpson when he was coming up with ideas to get more customers for the bowling alley
English
Hiring Carrick is a “no lose” for Wilcox, who is already in a losing position.
English
@hosang A mess that could easily have been avoided if everyone was allowed to just do the job they were paid to do.
English
This is true and this is bonkers.
Whole thing is a mess.
It's Wilcox's job to hire a coach. But just like Ashworth, his judgement is brought into question...

Exclusive: Power struggle in play 💣 Jason Wilcox is fighting a battle with @ManUtd officials as he prefers Michael Carrick over Ole Gunnar Solskjær to become temporary manager until the end of the season. We understand that two high-profile figures at the club believe Ole Gunnar Solskjær would be the correct choice. Will Jason Wilcox get his way? Is a big power struggle underway?
English
@hosang If Dalot keeps wasting chances like that i’m going to end up falling out with the neighbours for the obscenities i’ve been shouting
English
Taps the sign…
Jimmy Hosang@Hosang
Great move. Problem is the formation puts Dalot on the end of it.
English
@hosang Hang on. Doesn’t this insinuate that decisions related to the selling and signing of players lies with the manager? So Wilcox’s role is purely to hire managers, tell them how to play and fire them when they don’t do as he says?
English
@hosang Other fans don’t demand a manager that plays within the clubs “DNA”. Klopp didn’t exactly play the kind of football Liverpool played in the 80’s. Sky doing a stupid comparison that said Conte best fits the clubs “DNA” against Fergie’s last season. Fergie always adapted over time
English
Do other fans look at their team overachieving and just moan about how many points they are from 14th?
Beagle Dad@guntersch
@hosang We are also 4 points from 14th
English
But hey let’s tell him to change formation, refuse to buy the players he needs and sack him

@hosang I’d argue there’s only 2. Tuchel and Ancelotti. Pochettino is good but he is not on the level of them. Both would be complicated to announce now though. The English and Brazilian media would hound them and say they aren’t committed to the jobs they are in.
English
All this nonsense, but there’s only 3 coaches worth messing with.
Tuchel, Pochettino, Ancelotti.
That’s it. Ignore all the noise. Announce one in next month.
English
@hosang I’m getting increasingly concerned he is going to appoint himself as caretaker

🚨🎙️ | “I’m a COACH at heart,” Jason Wilcox told the Manchester United former players’ association in September. “That’s a strength in my role now, but also causes me a bit of a problem because I always want to INTERFERE in what the managers are doing.” [@lauriewhitwell]
ART
There’s a lot of sense in hiring a new coach in the summer, with Tuchel, Poch and Ancelotti potentially freely available.
All of these, in some or many ways, would be a definitive “upgrade” on Amorim.
They need to announce it way before World Cup though, probably in next few weeks, so it doesn’t create uncertainty and impact squad planning.
