@henrywinter Interesting that on all metrics Amorins team was better, except the most nb. And he had large periods without Mbuemo, Amad and Bruno. What is Carricks plan? Style? Whoever the manager, that team needs 3/4 players to go into the starting 11
@henrywinter Same story about him for years. Only ever had one good season. Otherwise it's bits and pieces for 5/6 games here & there. Nowhere near world class. Attitude at United says it all.
@henrywinter Why not Zubimendi? He has enabled Rice. Rice has always had his flaws as demonstrated for England vs Italy & Spain. Zubimendi covers for that & it's no coincidence they are on track to win the league since Zubimendi's arrival
@henrywinter It's a mess, caused again by inept leadership at the higher levels. What's worse is people talk about Glasner....what system does he play? Amorin took over United on 11 points from 9 games. He has signed 4 players. Why are the expectations so out of sync?
@MelissaReddy_ They have been poor since Feb. This is the chickens coming home to roost. Salah&Gravenberch were never going to replicate last season&quite frankly Slot's comments have been embarrassing. In fact, compared to what Amorin, Nuno, Ange etc have to deal with, he gets off lightly
@OliverKay@CIES_Football People's view of what good looks like is so distorted. Couples with the crazy prices. Garnacho, like Rashford, has not done much except be completely unprofessional and disparaging to United on social media. Good riddance
.@naval: There was a story that I read about @elonmusk that really affected me, which was when he was talking to Bill Gates, and Bill Gates had just taken out some huge short on Tesla. It was like a billion dollar short or something.
And, Elon was like, “Why would you do that? Why would you short Tesla?” And Bill goes, “Well, you know, I talked to my financial advisors and I looked at the math and there’s no way it’s overvalued. And so I’m going to make money on the short.”
And Elon goes, “What do you care about making money? I thought you were into electric cars and climate change and saving the world. What are you doing trying to save a few bucks and betting against Tesla?”. And he just walked away in disgust.
And I think he never talked to Bill Gates after that. And that’s when I realized, like, Elon’s a purist. He means what he says. The money is a tool for him to get what he’s trying to do. And so I take him at face value, which is the crazy thing, because a lot of people who set these audacious goals to inspire people, you kind of know they don’t really mean it.
Elon, I take at face value. So I really do think he intends to get to Mars. I don’t think he’s joking about that. And I think he means to get there within a defined window of time. And I don’t think it’s just like an inspirational, faraway goal. I think he’s very, very concretely going to do whatever it takes.
Because Elon doesn’t want to go down in history as the electric car guy or even the guy who saved America guy. He wants to go down as a guy who got humanity to the stars. Again, I’ll give him more credit than that. I don’t even think he wants to go down as the “I got humanity to the stars” guy.
He’s just like, “I want to get to the stars, and so I have to make it happen in this lifetime. The only way that I get to experience the science fiction world in my head is if I get to the stars.” And so that’s so inspirational. I think that drives everything.
So I think the government was just a thing that got in his way.
