⚽ EFL Carabao Cup 2024/25 Season

[Majestic-milf]

It seems there's no way to solve Manchester United's problems with Amorim as manager.
Remember when Manchester United said they didn't need a new goalkeeper and still trusted their current one? The proof is that Onana made another fatal error during Grimsby's second goal in the EFL Cup victory.

I really felt bad for Onana, not going to lie cause it was like the first game he was starting since returning from injury and then he had to make such an error. It was just like the error he made was saying "who missed me?".

Amorim isn't a reliable player, even though management has made it easy for him to transfer and other things.
Amorim should see how Kobbie Mainoo plays his role in midfield.
Manchester United's situation will continue to be uncertain, including in their next match against Burnley at Old Trafford.

For me, Amorim is about the worst coach that Man UTD has had yet. I don't know but the man seems so confused that he doesn't know where to play some of his men. Enough of the experiments and do something meaningful cause it's obvious that the plans he is trying to work out with the club isn't given the best results so why no try something different and see where that one would lead instead of doing one thing and expecting another result?
 Seriously, Ruben Amorim is so confused at the moment that I feel so bad for him.

You na it's all total embarassement showed by Manchester United. Losing to the a club with less than 4 million valuation. At this point, the better they to exchange their 740++ million squad to the Grimsby squad.

I can't stop laughing after reading your post where you seem annoyed with Man United. 

IMO, Man United's attacking players aren't actually that bad and could be improved in the short term if Amorim were more assertive with the players. However, I blame Man United's defense, which is ridiculous and incredibly poor. Even the goalkeeper, who has been retained, Onana, is no longer a good fit for Manchester United. Just look at the image below, and you can clearly see what the Manchester United defenders are doing, opening up a huge opportunity for Grimsby.

Reuben Amorim when interview has to apologize for Manchester United sudden defeats to Grimsby due to poor defense. I think Reuben Amorim will make necessary corrections in regard to Manchester United defense before their next Match in the premier League. However I would agree with you that Andre Onana is one of the biggest mistake Manchester United have ever made,he's completely out of shape and unfit as Manchester United first choice goal keeper. If I were Reuben Amorim I would have loan him out a long time ago but am still wondering why Reuben Amorim has  decided to retain a lousy goalkeeper like Andre Onana as Manchester United first choice when it is obvious that he doesn't deserve it.

Why do you think so? I think a lot of pundits are saying the opposite. Most of them believe he's rigid with his tactics and won't change them, and his interviews support that analysis to some extent. I think it's very likely he'll get sacked or step down tbh. Let's see if Man United board will stick with him or not.

Eh, I don't think starting him in a Carabao draw means he's the first choice. Didn't Bayindir start in the previous games? Even he makes mistakes here and there. It's clear they need a new GK now.

Well, United is out from the Carabao in August, never thought I'd see this.

Man Utd go from one embarrassing disaster to the next. They spend hundreds of millions every summer but never get any better.

Onana in goal is like a clown too

Another epic failure to be added to the extra ordinary seasons achievements of Manchester United.
A fabulous defeat against a team playing deeply in a lower league but I should be grateful to their efforts to score two goals and not humiliate themselves further in the second half.

While we all are condemning Manchester United for the defeat they faced against Grimsby, it's just so bad that it came at a time when Manchester United is facing challenges in winning matches in the Premier League otherwise whether a 4th division team or a 5th division team, this is football and any team can win irrespective of the quality squad the other team has. Last season in the F.A Cup fourth round a team like Plymouth won Liverpool at a time when Liverpool was in their best performance so all these things doesn't need to surprise us anymore, it's just because Manchester United is the team and since the season started they have always been the talk of people.

Normally, we all know that football is unpredictable, but Manchester united inconsistentcy seems beyond what we are seeing. Because they are not showing any change at all, there is how big team would perform even if they lose to underdog team you would understand that is a hard luck that made them to lose. but this Manchester united own is something that is obvious that they are not in good condition because they have not won any match this season.. so they really deserve to be condemned because the poor performance is getting out of hand.

The Manchester United team management are even confused nobody knows where Manchester United problem is even coming from we can't say it's couch fault they have bring in several couches but nothing seems to change they have even brought in some good players to see if they can be getting positive results but nothing still change but I don't still want to conclude that they will perform poorly this season till after their tomorrow game against Burnley at Old Trafford Manchester United home ground, am expecting them to win this one but if they loss against Burnley then i will now conclude that nothing has changed in Manchester United team.

The entire squad of Manchester United should be blamed for the disaster against Grimsby Town, but the mistakes made by the goalkeeper are just way too obvious. Andre Onana should be blamed for both goals scored by Grimsby Town. I hear rumors that United is searching for a new goalkeeper and I wonder why the club from Manchester kept Onana for so long. He made so many mistakes, which costed points in the last season. Some English teams have the tradition of tolerating mediocre managers and mediocre players for way too long. Amorim would've been sacked months ago, if he was a manager of Chelsea or Manchester City.

You are right actually, if we check from when Alex Ferguson retired at Manchester United it's been 12 good years and ever since then they have not been able to win the Premier League again. They used to be one of the best club in England but all of a sudden, things fell apart for them till now the team has no direction at all. Well, i don't know how long that Manchester United will continue in this deadlock but the club's management really need to act fast, if it is by continues sacking of coaches till they meet the right manager then they have no other option since they have signed a lot many players yet no changes so if Amorim is not able to restructure the team they should still sack him.

[Nightwalker(NW)]

Manchester united performance against Grimsby was truly unbelievable because nobody shaw it coming, it's just happened like a dream to me because is pretty obvious now that Manchester united performance last season would be quite better than this season. Honestly, this is the worst performance that I have ever seen in Manchester united, it was indeed a big shame because with this poor performance they might likely be religated come of this season.

I just learnt that in just this month three coaches has been sacked and all three is from the Turkish league. Both of whom were Manchester United formal coaches, Ole and Mourinho who were sacked just between yesterday and today. Manchester United from the look of things and how Amorim has been performing since he was hired without any tangible result for the team might be next in line to be sacked by the clubs management. They were dumped by a League two side and that's a shame to a team like Manchester United.

At this point I really don't know what's the problem at Manchester United. They spend money in the transfer market every season, but they just can't seem to get it right.  I don't know if it's players, coaching staff or the board,  all I know is that Manchester United need to sort things out fast. The team was so bad against Grimsby and I can't fault Amorim for the lose, rather its the players that should be blamed. I don't think they even need a coach to play Grimsby.
I had so much much expectation from Manchester United after I watched them played Arsenal on the opening of the season, but I think that was just a joke.

Whenever you feel sad for a football player, remember their salary. Onana makes 6+ million pounds per year, that is more than 8 million dollars a year. So far in his career, he made more than 30 million dollars, probably near 40 million dollars.

Even after taxes and agent fees and all that, he has made more than 20 million probably. When you consider that, you will realize that there is no reason for us to feel sorry for him. That dude could be paid that much, forced to play every game, concede 5 goals from every team for a year, get insults at him all game every game, and he still lives a better life than us. I would take his job right now, I am like 20cm shorter than him probably (no idea how tall he is) and fat, and I would make United concede 10 goals everyday, and I would still not mind, in return of that much money.

Nobody knows what Manchester United problem is right now, with the amount which they spent signing players, I was expecting a better performance from them. Manchester United played well during the pre season matches and I was thinking they will continue with their good performance, but it’s surprising how Manchester United are playing right now, I don’t even know how they will solve their current problem, but from the look of things maybe Manchester United problem is not from the players, because whenever any player joins Manchester United, their performance is always dropping.

I just keep on thinking, if Manchester United can’t win a team like Grimsby, then which team are the going to win. Since the season started, Manchester United has played 3 matches overall, two premier league matches, and a carabao cup match, and they haven’t been able to win any match this season. It’s just better Manchester United management fix things before it’s.

This issue of Manchester United's bad performances has become something that I don’t even understand anymore because their inconsistency is worse than before. We all know that last season there were many teams whose performances were very poor, but before this season started, most of the teams tried to fix up their problems. Let's look at the Chelsea performances currently. Now in the Premier League, the team is doing much better and is together. They were struggling with Manchester United last year with the same problems, but Chelsea so far is now better than Man United.

Their last match against the Grimsby really shocked me. Because all my expectations are that they will find the match very easy to win since the team is not that strong, but Grimsby's players are very good, and they are very competitive in the game, so upon all the seriousness of Manchester United in the pre-season matches, this is how they will end up.

but am still wondering why Reuben Amorim has  decided to retain a lousy goalkeeper like Andre Onana as Manchester United first choice when it is obvious that he doesn't deserve it.

Since Ten Hag was still with Man United, I've been wondering why Onana was kept around after making several mistakes. I've wondered if the board of directors was the one keeping the goalkeeper. And now Amorim is also being discussed as to why the coach is keeping the goalkeeper. This seems odd, as usually, when a player performs poorly, the manager immediately looks for alternatives.

Onana is a flop, and anytime I remembered how ETH treated DDG just to bring Onana to Manchester United, I feel bad. It's just like throwing away a diamond and accepting a junk. At times, I feel like ETH should be arrested for what he did to DDG and Manchester United

United wanted to get rid of him before he got injured. But they're working on bringing in Lammens from Royal Antwerp before the transfer window closes to come battle it out with Onana and Bayindir. The young goalkeeper looks very promising, and I hope he doesn't disappoint.

Seriously Ten hag made a mistake by letting De Gea leave Manchester United, he sent away a good goalkeeper and signed a terrible goalkeeper, I don’t really know why Manchester United are still keeping Onana, with the crazy errors which Onana have been making, I just think it’s enough to sign another goalkeeper and just let Onana go. I don’t know if the management are just thinking maybe there will be improvement in Onana’s performance later in the future and that’s the reason why the are keeping him. Seriously it’s just better Manchester United gets a better goalkeeper, am not really expecting anything from Onana, I don’t know maybe the pressure on Onana at Manchester United is just too much, and that’s what’s affecting him.

Andre Onana is the problem of Manchester United? Is he not making the right moves when it comes to his role as a goalie for the club? Ofcourse he's doing his best just that he's not good enough to handle this role under pressure. Onana had made quite good number of mistakes that have cost the club huge loss and also put his face on the trends when it comes to worst mistakes committed by goalkeepers.

Manchester United board will likely worked with members that are prominent and straight with their plans and not the type that develop doubt base on inconsistent performance. Poor performance do happen and it happen often not for a player to be repeating mistakes in all games featured for, that's absolutely no sign of improvement.
