Abandoning the system early worked really well for the bald fraud, no idea why Amorim doesn’t do the same
Pep Guardiola was and remains backed by a literal state entity. We have money but ours is finite. Amorim cannot afford to delay his project 9 months because he isn’t playing sandbox mode like Guardiola was able to

That’s a penalty
If Maguires doing that’s it’s given and on TikTok’s etc before they hit the ground
honestly a bit surprised that amorim is so stubborn on the 3-4-2-1/3-4-3 so far given the fact that i considered him quite flexible when it comes to changing formations…. but i think that him sticking with it may be a good sign rather than a bad one in this case, he’s not like ten hag who gave it up and abandoned things after one nasty loss against brentford
it may not be working the best so far but there clearly is progress, a slow one but there is. just afraid that these players aren’t the best for this style of play, that’s a concern i’ve expressed initially right after the appointment and especially when it comes to playing out the back with this back 3, it’s just not it, and i don’t think it will improve much.
better stick with his own vision from the jump though and just implement new players into it, just don’t think that many of the current players have potential to thrive in this system and make some huge progress, besides a few.
There’s definitely a handful of players who will fit the system (Amad, Maz, Ugarte, and maybe Holjund but jury is still out). Remains to be seen if Mainoo and Garnacho can adapt, Yoro it’s too early to tell. Only one of Maguire and De Ligt can start bc they can only play CCB, Martinez will benefit from not having Dalot LWB but I’d take a fee and reinvest over keeping him currently.
Also think he doesn’t help Bruno playing him deeper bc he just offers nothing defensively.
What the f*** is the VAR system even for man if such an obvious penalty doesn’t get checked at least
Hojlund got the same thing Zlatan had, big bloke so anytime they’re getting fouled it looks less serious than it is
Can’t we just play 4 Amads
Good kid a.m.a.d city having to play with Mr Morales and the S*** Pressers upfront
Understand amorim is trying to establish his standards but this is not the time or the place to drop our two winger off the team when we need points against a rival club

S*** pressers 😂😂
Need to be investigating more of these refs tbh
This was a shocking decision, if this was Liverpool/Arsenal we’d be hearing about on every channel for the rest of the week
