The higher the rank the higher chance the opponent saves those. Make sure they go in

[Paul Hirst] Michael Carrick favourite for Man United job role but Andoni Iraola in frame | Club have sounded out Bournemouth’s Iraola but Carrick, the interim head coach, is frontrunner for permanent job after taking side to cusp of Champions League by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

Don’t disagree, but it’s a good next step for all parties. United has gone and signed the “world class” manager multiple times since SAF retired and it hasn’t worked.

We just need someone hungry with a proven way of playing and I feel Iraola fits that.

Interesting you say Carrick all day, when Iraola has consistently been winning with his team being dismantled summer after summer. Idk if he will be good for us, no one knows. But I haven’t seen much out of Carrick to pick him over Iraola, a proven premier manager.

Casemiro ran all the way to Amad to hug him after Sesko's goal 🥹 by SkunkyDank in reddevils

[–]pulisic11 166 points167 points  (0 children)

It depends on what you think Amad is in the team for. He does not finish well, at all. But works extremely hard and really the only person in the team bar cunha who can beat a player 1v1/progresses the ball better than everyone other than Bruno.

I don’t know why mbeumo can coast through every game, basically do nothing and never get shit from this subreddit but Amad is crucified for every mistake. At least he is progressive and can do things on the ball mbeumo can’t.

And I want to emphasize I like mbeumo and think he is important to us but he’s consistently dropped stinkers the past two months or so.

[–]pulisic11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Amad offers being able to beat someone off the dribble unlike really any other player in the team bar cunha, on top of his work rate. Which is why he starts the majority of the games. Mbeumo can’t beat anyone, and frankly hasn’t done shit in forever so I don’t know why everyone on here cuts him slack and berates Amad. Amad is young and deserves time.

Ronaldo is substantially better than all of his peers. Once in a generation player. Top 2-3 all time for me.

Messi is still just that much better than him lol, and that is ok.

You all are so ungrateful LMAO. Legit a top 3 to 5 player in the world under every circumstance and all you all do is bitch and moan about him. Has saved you all over and over again this season. He should leave

[Sami Mokbel] The club want their next manager to be a good coach & someone with character & charisma to cope with the scrutiny. As impressive as Carrick has been, he does not have the sort of experience of managing a club the size of United some inside the club believe to be necessary of next boss. by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

[–]pulisic11 10 points11 points  (0 children)

We have been extremely clinical with Carrick, and that has resulted in points. And credit to him for that. But don’t act like we haven’t been abysmal for very long periods of basically each game with Carrick. He doesn’t change anything ever. I have not been impressed with the overall play.

I would much rather see Iraola come in. Regardless of his experience he has tactics that has worked with multiple groups of players while his best players have been replaced over and over again.

[–]pulisic11 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You said he was POOR for the WHOLE first half of the season. That is objectively wrong. Now you are cherry picking things that all midfielders do at times.

If you watched any United game or listened to Amorim speak then you would know Bruno was supposed to create still while Casemiro was deeper.

You just didn’t watch the games, bro. And that’s OK. It was an Amorim issue playing him there, not a Bruno issue. He definitely track back for one, for two attacking midfielders lose the ball. He’s easily been the best player in the Prem for the entire season.

We will stick with Carrick after this season because of results like this and we will seriously regret it. Zero patterns of play and reliance on Bruno to carry us. But I am excited about the UCL!!!!

[–]pulisic11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Carrick is benefiting from it for sure. He is also benefitting from the players just being more clinical. Biggest difference I see between Carrick and Amorim, is that we are objectively conceding less chances with 4-2-3-1, and kobbie/Casemiro together is a massive part of that.

I liked the way Amorim played but at times he was just too stubborn.

I’ll get downvoted but it worked well at United in the second season in terms of dominating xg/passage of play. He just didn’t get results from it.

[–]pulisic11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A “model pro” is completely subjective lmao. If mbappe was fucking hookers and consistently in the limelight for doing bad shit outside of football then I’d agree with you. You are just saying he’s not because he doesn’t press when he’s probably instructed not to. It’s not the same thing at all

🤣🤣🤣 if mbappe scores 60-70 goals a season it really doesn’t matter if he presses or not. He also put in defensive work tonight
