Ruben Amorimβs supporters argue that it is not the system that's at fault, itβs individual players not doing their jobs or simply making mistakes. But the system clearly doesnβt help them. Forcing centre-backs like Harry Maguire to play a high-line exposes his lack of pace. Not his fault, it's Amorim's. Luke Shaw is not a left-sided centre-back. Bruno Fernandes is not a central midfielder. Most players donβt look comfortable with 3-4-2-1.
The defence looks exposed, not enough pace, too many gaps and no cover of any substance. Amorimβs stubbornly sticking to his system when 4-2-3-1 would work. The best managers adapt, work to their players' strengths. Unitedβs defence would look more secure as a back-four of Mazraoui, De Ligt, Yoro, Shaw, shielded by two from Mainoo/Ugarte/Casemiro, Bruno restored to his preferred 10, flanked by Mbeumo and Cunha serving Sesko. But Amorim is too stubborn to change.
Amorim also has to take culpability for vulnerability at set-pieces and failure to know how to respond and regroup when the opposition turn the ball over. Where is the coaching? Theyβve upgraded everything at Carrington except, it seems, the coaching. Amorim was outwitted by Keith Andrews, who was managing only his 8th game. Andrews just saw the centre-backsβ vulnerability and unleashed pace. Amorimβs tactics are clearly at fault.
Amorim says his players needed βmore personality to control gamesβ. But his system inhibits them. His questioning and demeanour can hardly inspire them. He's clearly a good man and at Sporting showed he was a decent coach. But this stubbornness may cost him his job.
That said, it's all very well this increasing clamour for change but who? Who could United bring in? Most elite head coaches are all embedded at teams with better squads at better-run clubs. United are still United, still huge, still big payers, and should still attract a decent coach. But who? #MUFC
