Match day. The hopes are mid. The expectations are zero. What will be, will be. It's only a game, right? 😩 If he persists with the formation, at LEAST switch the personnel. There's a better balance Ruben could strike with the players he's got. Let's do this.

My new podcast, "From The Forums" is now on Spotify and Apple Podcasts! open.spotify.com/episode/5mdM... 15 minutes a week of unhinged fan forum opinions! All follows (and feedback) MASSIVELY appreciated!

Some fans are losing all faith in Ruben Amorím after the 3-1 defeat at Brentford. Is he really United's worst-ever manager? Is it his fault? It's multi-faceted, and far too nuanced to simplify that much. But something has to change. #mufc #manutd #amorim #premierleague (With added captions)

Well, Leicester-Wrexham was a LOT shorter on quality than I expected!! Wrexham fought hard for the point. But Leicester were just crap. Amazing away support from the Wrexham fans though.

Off to see Leicester-Wrexham at the King Power tonight, managed to get tickets. Always find the King Power a decent stadium with vocal home support. I'm just curious to see two teams with very different recent histories playing each other!

Nick Woltemade is a great player. Love his style.

I've just recorded a clip on Dele Alli for my channel. Pretty sensitive issue right? Not exactly straightforward. Straight away, he's called a millionaire "melt" in the comments. Like, really?? Fucking hell. Footballers ain't coin-operated machines. I hate people in this country at times.

I keep trying to record a measured, nuanced reaction to the mess at United, and Amorím's future. I'm finding it really hard to say what I want to say, with the right amount of nuance and balance, while also without hyperbole. Will mull over it for a couple more days. What's your thoughts now?

I dunno. Maybe a relegation is the reset we need. I'm at a loss how we move forward at all from here 🤷🏻‍♂️ The cycle we're in is shit. Sacking managers is shit. Sticking with this system is shit. Seriously depressing. I try not to care, but I can't.

It's crap making him wait for the pen but Bruno has to do better. And how that wasn't denial of a goal scoring opportunity, I'll never know

Watching Brentford-United is making me feel sick 🤢 And that's just the Ref Cam.

Well that was a hard watch. Brentford happy with the ball being punted in the air. United being outfought every second ball and knock-down. And then with the ball, sloppy in the pass. Scrappy and disjointed, with a defensive lapse never far away 🫣 #mufc

So sick of the lack of football intelligence from some United players 🙄 It's not even a one-off. It's every single game. Dalot. Shaw. Ugarte. Maguire at times. Dorgu occasionally. It's so frustrating.

Well. What can you say? Some shocking decision making so far, rightly punished by a quality strike. Sloppy with most passes, and that Maguire attempt at an offside trap? Jeez

Can't wait to see Senne Lammens in goal. But I get it. Confidence is everything and Bayindir starts until he makes a mistake. Isn't that more pressure though? 🤔 We've gotta trust the process 😬 YANITED!

The gap between the Graham Potter announcement, and the Nuno talks, wow. On a Saturday morning as well. Shitty leadership again from the owners of West Ham.

Hoping for a decent performance against Brentford 🤞🏻 It would be great to see some lovely, well-crafted goals. We'll probably get stress and carnage though *sighs*

Genuinely love Harry Kane. He'd have cleaned up on trophies and awards if he'd left Tottenham earlier.

Wrexham-Cardiff in the Carabao 4th Round

A real novelty seeing Forest in Europe. Good luck to 'em! #nffc

"This could be edge of the seat stuff!" The Ange Postecoglou era has begun at Nottingham Forest, and most fans are cautiously optimistic. Could we see an absolute pasting coming someone's way soon?? Check out "From The Forums" youtube.com/shorts/2U0_b... #nffc #nottinghamforest #angepostecoglou

I've started a new weekly Podcast, delving into what fans are saying on their forums! This week: ⚽ Forest ⚽ Villa ⚽ Palace ⚽ Leeds Fascinating to hear what fans say about their own clubs! Have a watch and listen on YouTube 👇🏻 youtu.be/2i2pXrch-RQ

I guess everyone's conspiring to hand Liverpool the title again, no?

Today Alejandro Garnacho could either make Ruben Amorím look really good, or really bad.

Just seen I've passed 600 followers here! ☺️Thanks, fellow football (United?) obsessives, and welcome!

Hated. Adored. Never ignored. Manchester United not even in the Champions League, but so many pundits circling back to us still! I guess so many former players doing well, can't be a coincidence though 🤔 #mufc #manutd #ucl #rashford

It's not a Manchester United "curse". I swear if we'd had Conte or Flick - or even Frank or Iraola - these players would be flourishing in Manchester. It's a repeated failure of coaching and of man management.

Fucking hell Marcus 👀 Well played lad 👏🏻

José to Benfica. You love to see it 😎

Malo Gusto is shockingly bad

I love the absolute piss take of Bayern playing the can-can after a goal 😂 #ucl #fcbayern #chelseafc

Anaemic. Shambolic. Toothless. My reaction to another United shocker at the Etihad. #mufc #manutd

I thought Bruno would be moved forwards to a 10 today, not way back in midfield. He's absolutely useless there. I still stand by 4-3-3 being a better fit for these players. But if Amorím must persist - and it's never been clearer, he will - then at least get that midfield balance right.

Should be 5. Pretty shambolic. Bruno Fernandes having the mother of all stinkers here. We keep chipping the ball in to THIS City defence AND Donnarumma, hoping for some contact from someone, anyone 😂😭 Abysmal.

United weren't bad necessarily in the first 20 minutes. But our passing hasn't been great, and things like Shaw throwing the ball to a City player ain't helping us build any momentum.

Manuel Ugarte's football IQ ain't the best, is it? Good destroyer, but don't rely on him to pick a pass.

United dangerous on City's defensive line. A killer pass and run would do it.

Ricky Hatton 😲 Wow. What a shock. Loved his energy, in and outside of the ring. Tragic loss.

It's mad but I can see us hurting City. If we can convert the chances we're creating. I dunno. It feels like we're on the cusp of some floodgates opening.

Watching Chelsea last night, they're just the most unlikeable, soulless team aren't they? Garnacho belongs there.

A fairly measured reaction to Serbia 0-5 England I'd say! #england #tuchel

Seriously, Nuno Esprito Santo has left Nottingham Forest?? 😲

I'm not a football tactico. I've never coached a team. But SURELY, if you're against a team that plays 11 at the back, you set up training the same way?? Get your players comfortable with frustration? Condition them to pass in small triangles? England looked surprised by Andorra's approach! 🤦🏻‍♂️

My top 5 United home kits of the Ferguson era. I don't think any modern ones come close to these IMO. What's your number one? Did I miss any obvious outstanding kits?? 🔴⚪⚫ #mufc #manutd #manchesterunited

🇸🇮 Benjamin Šeško 🇨🇲 Bryan Mbeumo 🇧🇷 Matheus Cunha 🇧🇪 Senne Lammens 🇵🇾 Diego Léon Some desperately-needed new faces at Old Trafford, but how do you rate Manchester United's arrivals this transfer window? 👍🏻 or 👎🏻 ? #mufc #manutd #transferwindow

Let's say Martinez leaves Villa - are they in a bit of a crisis? Not a lot of good vibes at the club at the moment. And a really static, sterile performance tonight. #avfc #astonvilla

Am I being unreasonable for suggesting Everton were "slightly lucky" to beat Wolves 3-2?? They played well, but nearly let it slip. So many Everton fans came at me on socials, despite this video being overwhelmingly positive! 😂 The internet. Can't win! #everton #efc

Man Utd 3-2 Burnley instant reaction. A bit of relief for Ruben Amorím as a late Bruno Fernandes penalty seals 3 valuable points. The intensity was a big improvement. But wow, we are woeful sometimes. #mufc #manutd #premierleague

Bayindir's distribution this half, not bad. Not bad.

Like Shaw's football IQ is too low to be a centre back. Horrendous reading of the game, zero anticipation. Almost caught out again but for offside.
