Difficult to feel strongly either way. His record was terrible. Some improved performances this season, but still frustratingly inconsistent. They are (somehow) in a good league position, so I guess it is a hit and hope that someone new can get some consistency. Glasner to join in the summer.

You'd think this game was refereed by a Liverpool fan...oh wait! How Gillett is allowed anywhere near a United game is bizarre.

Strange not to start Højlund today. He thrives on momentum and we desperately need a striker on the pitch. Hope he comes on after half-time.

This is fully on the ownership. Amorim wanted to join in the summer, but they insisted knowing that he wouldn't have the squad to play his system. They could have planned for a gradual switch to a 3-4-3, but they threw Amorim in at the deep end. This is the result.

No goal threat. No composure in attack and defence. No leadership for the young players, and no pride. This team has conceded 12 goals at OT in the last 5! I don't mind losing if there is a team effort, but with this team, there is none on show...oh, except for the "big" games 🤦♂️

You can take a loss if there is effort and fight being shown from the players. They have just given up and roll over time after time. So many players need to go. One good result vs City and they think it's all good enough. Amorim has so much to do to improve this.

Poor recruitment and squad management has caused this situation for Amorim. It will take time to fix and you can't fix it by constantly changing managers. I'd keep maybe four or five of this squad. It is staggering to see how this group of players seem totally tactically inept.

The players reverted to type here. Such a lack of quality throughout the team. Bruno shocking despite the goal. Dalot...🤦♂️
Amad, Yoro, Mainoo, and Ugarte the only players who escape blame in my opinion.

It's encouraging to see some clear patterns of play and a midfield that is not easy to play through anymore. Not convinced that Bruno should play as a CM in bigger games, but choices were limited yesterday. Two wins in the next two games are really important leading up to the derby!
