United appointing a coach so wedded to a specific approach is proving to be a very risky strategy.
Gavin Cooney MANCHESTER UNITED PUNDIT and sometime manager Ruben Amorim delivered journalists their headlines in the aftermath of Sunday’s defeat to Brighton, telling his press conference his side “are being the worst team, maybe, in the history of Manchester United .”
So Amorim could have thrown on an extra striker to try and at least draw the game, but he figured that points potentially earned today would be at a greater cost to his players’ understanding of his system tomorrow.You can accuse the manager of having his priorities arseways here, but truly it’s not his fault: he is just trying to do the job he was hired to do.
United are also backing themselves to sign the right players for Amorim’s system, which in itself resembles a major gamble. They have little financial headroom to actually spend at the moment, and Ineos have yet to prove they can break the Glazers’ inertia-then-panic cycle in the transfer market. Once those players disappear, the whole edifice crumbles. In the absences of Vicario, Van de Ven, and Romero, Postecoglou has not changed, and it’s led to a run of results so wretched that sooner or later the rest of us will have to adapt his iconic phrase. It’s just who they were, mate.
The coaches now prospering in the Premier League are those with a healthy disregard for dogma. Nuno was recently deemed a man out of time, but is now thriving by trusting the craft and improvisation of his counter-attackers.
