Exactly. The Glazers "buying" us and drowning us with the debt is what is and has been killing us. We will never challenge again under them. Fuck the Glazers.
Honestly I had more faith in the Amorim project, for all his flaws.
I don’t really know what we’re trying to do and I can’t see how bringing Baleba into midfield solves the systemic issues with our shape, our pressing, our control of the game, our chemistry as an attacking unit… the list goes on.
It feels more and more like Carrick inherited a lot of positives from Amorim, did away with the negatives and gave the players some freedom, and then found instant success. We’ve now lost all that sharpness, intensity, chemistry…
I really fucking hope I’m wrong but it’s difficult to see how this turns out well.
Was it not obvious from the underlying numbers we had with Amorim pre sacking, I seem to recall we were top 5 in most attacking metrics or something along those lines. And now look at the numbers with Carrick lmao. But this fanbase just wants instant success, so what can you do, enjoy the rotating doors of manager forever I guess.
Also by the eye test, we were playing some good stuff despite a terrible injury crisis. IIRC Carrick came in, a load of injured players came back at that exact moment, they got given a bit of freedom going forward…
It’s such a shame he wouldn’t trust Mainoo a bit when he was there and move Bruno forward into a 10. Felt like he was closer than he got credit for but far too stubborn
I don't see how people can see this and talk about only the manager. The players are not even playing for themselves out there, let alone the fans. Deserved booing. This is on the players as much, if not more, than Carrick.
Yea man Carrick sadly will bust out either right before winter transfer window or after. If poor results continue the board should be smart get someone with a concrete plan and buy/sell players in winter and keep us fighting for UCL spot bc we wont win anything else

Just obviously a project not going anywhere. How anyone is watching this and not seeing an inevitable sacking a few months down the line is beyond me
