Amorim commits sackable offense as ‘dreadful’ Man Utd star defends him from full charge against Newcastle

Ruben Amorim has missed out on Manchester United so far. But this defeat is mainly on him and a little on his “terrible” centre-back.

After half an hour, Gary Neville labeled Manchester United “the worst pound-for-pound football team in the country”, before Joshua Zarkezi was cheered off the pitch by his own fans shortly afterwards. When Sandro Tonali tries to hit the post. Newcastle’s third goal in one of the most one-sided Premier League games we’ve ever seen.

The writing was on the wall as soon as the team sheet was released, and when Marcus Rashford was the story.his return buried what should have been: Christian Eriksen and Casemiro starting together in midfield. insanity

Ruben Amorim has been given a light ride compared to Manchester United’s terrible results and deserved worse performance so far. New system, off-pitch issues, limited time for training, missed missed missed. But there is no excuse for playing them both together, an indefensible decision no matter who Manchester United are playing, but especially against the most dynamic and in-form midfield three in the Premier League. It is regrettable.

We’ll score the Under-15s for No. 6 before turning to that pair because there’s no way they weren’t going to overpower, outrun and beat Tonali, Bruno Gomaris and Joelinton. As it proved, with both Newcastle goals popping the ball quickly and easily around one or both of Casemiro and Eriksen in midfield, before a delivery into the box went down the left.

Sky Sports pundits made much of the team selection before the game, citing United’s terrible record defending corners and set pieces. That goes a long way to explain Casemiro’s inclusion and Zirkzee, with Amorim confirming before the game that he had the Dutchman’s height and physicality in mind both in attack and defence.

That plan was scrapped after 33 minutes when Zerkezi was withdrawn for Menno, much to the delight of a large number of United fans, who were at least as happy to see Zerkezi’s back. As much as he was happy to field his replacement. the field

In the same way that you might describe taking a rabbit for a walk over a shed or using a spoon to eat Christmas dinner, Neville describes Amorim’s view that Zerkezi uses the number 10 as opposed to the number 9. is more “interesting” than Ahead of what could be his last performance for United. He has already been heavily linked with a move back to Serie A and we doubt if he hasn’t already been in touch with his agent to follow up on those leads while watching the final hour from the bench at Old Trafford. It will happen soon.

Lesandro Martinez lasted twice as long as Xerxy before being hooked for Lenny Euros but he will be lucky to be in the squad for what looks set to be a daunting clash against Liverpool on January 5. Newcastle’s first, before failing to get off the ground as Julianton bridged in the second. As Neville said on the co-comms, his defense was “terrible,” in this moment and in others, in this game and others this season.

Completely predictable, Despite losing his youthful exuberance this seasonthere was a big difference after Menu arrived, there was no reason why he could run away. After being thoroughly embarrassed by Newcastle on their own patch in the first half hour, it was a beautiful game from then on, with United having to get the better of it.

Which only heightens the blame and criticism that should be leveled at Amorim, who we would give some credit for recognizing his error from the early gates if it weren’t so obvious and terrifying. And while nothing has changed since that result – he still needs time, better players and all that – it’s worrying that a head coach who has spent any time with this Manchester United squad has Casemiro considers the pivot of Eriksen viable and Zarquez as a beach-line forward who can bridge the play between these vulnerable midfielders and goal-scoring strikers.

After Ipswich’s shock win over Chelsea, Amorim’s side are now just seven points above the relegation zone and in relegation form after five defeats in their last six. And Amorim can now expect the pressure to rise sharply on him to end all his free passes, sack Levy and make the worst honeymoon in history after making surprising and unforgivable decisions about his own. Came to an end that gave no chance against Manchester United. A Newcastle team that couldn’t believe their luck.
