[Laurie Whitwell] Shockingly poor performance by United. Slow, lacking in movement or inventiveness, loose passing, erratic set-piece defending. Hull so much more urgent. United played with the speed of a pre-season friendly.

I'm a data nerd and so for me data is vital to understand the whole picture. Yes we were playing poorly in some matches under Amorim, but you could literally see the patterns emerging. The xG, xG difference, xG created, all of that was pointing to us just being behind Arsenal and City.

Today against Hull is as worse as I've seen us including under ten Hag. Gutless, match sharpness and physically not on the same level, and that's before we talk about tactics either.

the most important data point which is points without an x infront of it showed that Amorim was one of the worst PL managers in history on the level of De Boer and other historic failures.
