I suspect Taki was a marketing ploy.

I think there still a chance he goes on to do a good job elsewhere. Man United are a fucking hard club to manage, especially now with that old Tory crackpot sticking his tuppence worth in despite knowing fuck all about football. Their squad was also about as unsuited to Amorim’s system as you could possibly get.

Ironically, I think our squad would be a lot more suited to his style of play, with Porro and Udogie as wingbacks, 3 top centre backs that can all play with the ball at their feet in Romero, VDV and Vuskovic when he’s back, plenty of legs and running in the middle, particularly now with Gallagher coming in, and then Xavi & Kudus as the two 10’s.

Despite saying all that though, I absolutely would not want him coming here and testing that theory just now. We’d get absolutely ridiculed for it. He’s damaged goods after what happened at United and I wouldn’t want someone so wedded to a certain system; One, because you need someone who’s flexible enough to change their system when it isn’t working and doesn’t just arrogantly plow on with it to try and prove a point at the expense of results. And two; it’s a very specific system that requires specific players in specific positions, and when leaves you’re left with a load of players that might not suit most incoming managers.

We are pretty suited to a back five. Would cover up Porro and Udogie's defensive weaknesses and leg them do what they do best (run and cross). It would also cover up our lack of a passer in midfield by allowing our CBs, who unfortunately are our best passers outside of Xavi, to play more progressive passes.

Not sure Amorim would work here, but if he didn't, I don't think it would be due to his system.

If you would have said at the start of the season we can swap Solanke for RKM , i bet you the majority of people would have been spinning it as a massive upgrade and tbf for the couple of time Frank has played him central he has contributed with Goals or assists, its just he looks lost out wide.

Its also the same for adding Kudus instead of Kulu and Xavi instead of Maddision, the current issues are not a player issue, its a manager \ System issue.

Go back and look at what I thought about RKM, wasn't fussed on him at all, but he was a warm body and no risk. But yeah, definitely a coaching issue with how bad everyone has been. It's crap.

We are maybe a bit too thin at CB after sending the youngsters on loan but I do agree that we have a lot of players that suit a 3/5 at the back system.
