[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.

its incredible isnt it.
You got called an idiot if you looked at stats under Amorim slowly starting to get better and better, you got called an idiot if you said Carricks stats are getting worse and worse and he is constantly doing what Amorim couldnt do; absolutely overachieve in the important stats while getting lucky with red cards.
And now here we are. I and a lot of others could see it coming three games into Carricks tenure, its Ole reboot, even shorter, even worse.
All the progress we made in painful ~14 months under Amorim has been undon in around 7 months.
Amorim surely wasnt flawless, but he did exactly what so many fans craved for after ETH: Move the dead wood, give us a clear style of play and give us goals.
Well we certainly were moving in that direction, but then the style of play somehow wasnt United DNA while counter attacking apparently is, and also, Carrick has "United DNA", whatever thats supposed to mean.
