The amazing thing is after all is said and done, bar Bruno skyrocketing the pen at fulham and byandirs absolute clanger against arsenal that totally changed the nature of the game, Amorim's utd could be sitting in 2nd right now, and arsenal would be sitting in 14th on 3 points

That is both amazing and scary, given the overall performances.

Aside from the Grimsby disaster, the league performances have been reasonably promising. It's a very difficult one to judge, so we do need to be patient and give him the first 10 games or so - particularly with a new goalkeeper.

I am really on the fence though, my gut feeling is a highly emotional manager who absolutely refuses to adapt is not going to work out long term in this league.
 
Amorim is a confused mix of emotions. At the pitchside he is the opposite of emotional, I haven't noticed him remonstrating with officials in an overt fashion, you'd consider him low key in comparison to many others. Even when utd score, you don't see mad running up and down the line or an outburst, in fact it often doesn't register in an external fashion.

The other thing that confuses my thoughts on him, is that he is eminently immediately more affable and engaging than ten hag ever was, he is a manager that you want to do well not just because he is a utd manager, but because he seems a decent sort.

Also more often than not, I watched a Ten Hag post match interview and was at a complete loss as to what match Ten hag had been watching, because his comments afterwards bore no resemblance to the poor performance. I want a manager that, within reason, calls it as it is and doesn't make up some fairytale.

I wonder does this feeling on Amorim not extend to how the players view him. Virtually all successful managers were successful because the players wanted to please the manager and desperately did not want to disappoint him.

Theres too many variables at this point for me. Ultimately I think he will be gone before the end of the season unless things pick up massively.

We need to start scoring some of the chances we are creating. If we do that, things will improve in many ways.

We need a new first choice GK because as I have said before, we would be looking at a hugely different position at the moment if we had a remotely capable keeper. If we don't get one in, it will cost Amorim his job barring a miracle.

His refusal to adapt is certainly going to cause issues but they may be masked if the forward line can start banging in goals. Conversely, if they don't, things will sour quickly because it will all fall to pieces. Morale will drop, effort levels will drop (thats unfortunately unavoidable) and a dysfunctional system that teams know how to counter along with players not putting in 100% will have Amorim sacked.
 
Leverkusen unwilling to trust the process.

This is shorter than Frank de Boer at Palace.

Has any coach/manager lasted less time in a tier 1 league in recent memory?

If Man Utd choose to get shot of Amorim there are now two experienced coaches free. Ten Hag and Mourinho.

Southgate is also free.
