I cannot remember the last time United scored 2 team goals in one match, someone please remind me. It is always a corner; Bruno whips a free kick in or a header just pops up, Dalot's long throws and chaos inside the box cause goals, or Cunha, Zirkzee, Amad, or Mbeumo just come up with a moment of magic.
In short, Team goals under the Amorim system were rare, very rare (besides set pieces). Yesterday, I saw 2 beautiful goals from a Man who looked like a passenger in Amorim's system. I saw 2 goals cleared off the line from very inspiring team moves.
When the going got tougher, the gaffer brought in a teenager and reminded me of how I used to do in my FM24 career mode when bringing in a sub: "tell you what, lad, I have faith in you to make an impact in this match in the little time remaining, but there is no pressure of expectation on you; just play your natural game." The boy nearly scored 2 goals in just 14 minutes, yet Amorim kept telling us the academy is full of sh*tty, unprepared, and "entitled" kids. It was a draw, yes, but I saw a more balanced team, where players at least seemed to understand their roles in that pitch. I do not care if United finishes 15th again this season or gets in the top 4. What I know is Amorim was a cowardly, arrogant and entitled coach who gave up on our club a long time ago, a person who would rather die with what he knows than adapt to new ideas. I will not miss him, and I do not expect that he will miss this club, so GOOD RIDDANCE! Bring on the next one until we get the right man.
