Man City’s last 11 games contain more wins for Ruben Amorim than Pep Guardiola

Rasmus Hojlund is magic.

Lots of dramatic over reactions across on the other site to last nights game.

Set pieces aside, I don’t think we were that bad. Much improved away performance compared to prior years.

And Amorim is proactive in games - not afraid to make changes when needed. And early.

Onward and upward.

Frosty and crisp old morning in the north of England. 🥶

New manager. Same old bunch of dickheads on the pitch.

Genuinely can’t wait to watch United on Sunday.

Everything that has come out of Amorim and the club since he’s joined has been so uplifting.

(Cue a 1-0 Ipswich win! 😬)

Oops, Darren Anderton is out injured again

Watching the clips from Amorim’s first training session yesterday was very refreshing. Him with his kit and boots on getting involved.

Genuinely could not imagine Ten Hag, Rangnick, even Ole, doing the same.

You’d hope the players will buy into his ways quickly with him involving himself so much

Well, I’m all in on Amorim. He’s winning us the lot. 😬

If Coleen’s going in the jungle we need a red button Wayne Cam of him dealing with life without her. Trying to find where the towels are kept and wandering into rooms he didn’t know they had

Does anyone actually understand what the Nations League is yet and how it works? 🤦😬

With football Twitter rapidly reassembling here, one plea to help leave the toxicity behind: your football club is not a person. It doesn't have feelings, it doesn't experience disrespect. Love your club by all means, but recognise that it does not need you to fight for its honour on social media.

My work view is better than yours. 😍😬

Quite nice being on a social media platform where you aren’t hounded by ads, bots and porn accounts.

Another assist for Bruno

We’ve been here before with new managers but, with Amorim, this is the first time I’ve been genuinely optimistic.

Our squad isn’t a bad squad. And the youngsters are tearing it up. Amorim could be exactly what is needed to get the best out of this bunch and the youth squads in future. #mufc

Let’s see what this is all about then.
