Get the cheque book out, another rebuild needed.

The tide changed tonight for Amorim

Fans turn and that is it.

 

[Nate75]

The pressure is really getting to them and it's only the 2nd fricking week!

Yeh going to be a pressure cooker after tonight

I mean, they totally deserved it. Outplayed us for 90% of the game and those penalties were exceptional.

Don’t think that’s true. We were well on top once the half time subs came on and got better in the closing stages. I think the full time score was a fair reflection.

Huge, huge questions for Amorim. Sat there like an idiot, he couldn't even watch the pens - pathetic IMO.

His formation doesn’t work, soon as he binned it off we got the goals. I think he can stay if he starts showing some flexibility.

Utd be arranging mid season friendlies the way its going, only so much Emmerdale and Corrie you can watch during the week.

 

[Finners]

Manager deserves all the stick he gets hiding away in the dugout like that.

Vs League 2 team wouldn't expect anything less , they had disallowed goal that would have made it 3-0 , deserved win

Incredible. What a first half from Grimsby. As a casual neutral, this was awesome to watch.

 

[manic111]

The club has literally become a joke. It's almost irredeemable at the moment.

I can't stand him, but I feel sorry for Fernandes who has carried them on his back for a few years ago, and Maguire who has taken all sorts of stick and for the last couple of years has been a credit to the club. Literally everyone else is an embarrassment.

Get the managers on the pens after keepers have had a go

 

[omnomnom]

Amorim sat deep in the dugout not even watching must have inspired some confidence. Guy's a weirdo.

He's a try hard, it's attention seeking stuff tbh.

 

[Raymond Lin]

Tonight should have been an easy open goal to get some breathing space but they clearly went into it thinking the same and think it would be a straight forward win and got found out.

It's really strange and makes him look pretty weak.

 

[Mark1989]

Utd is the club any player with potential goes to die, new players look ruined already.

 

[Psycho Ned]

So Amorim and his Panini sticker album will be the meme of the night after all.

Indeed and we really have no right to feel that way either. We need to earn that and we’re nowhere near it.

Strange behaviour. He's a manager not a fan.

 

[marinersfan]

I'm off to bed in a minute, I'm knackered

Ofcourse it does. It's only a matter of time imo, his record is abysmal.
