One for utd fans. Do you see any progress in the team since the manager change?

You are getting over the line in some games but in terms of play, it seems pretty grim. Saying that, I don't watch you very often, hence my question.

Not at the moment, no. We’re worse than we were under ten Hag. But I’m not sure too many expected immediate improvement given the change in system.

There are some positives in all this. Zirkzee’s response to being hooked first half a few weeks ago has been absolutely first class. He’s got his head down, puts a shift in, and I still maintain that he does some decent stuff. He’s slowly finding his feet, although I’m not sure his future is long term. And Mazraoui never disappoints. He’s a really versatile defender.

But Mainoo is a shadow of the player we saw last season. If United have to jettison a homegrown player in the summer to make way for some incomings then, unless he bucks his ideas up, he is likely to be the one shown the door.

We are miles worse since Amorim came in.

He is clearly sticking with his system, which is a good thing really I think. We can't bin the entire squad in summer, so he needs a lot of the players to start working on it now. Rather than start afresh next season.

I really wish the interviewer asked him after the game why he played his new left wing back on the right.

Good thing about Maguire scoring is that it kept the forum relatively quiet tonight :)
 
There were two of them dressed in black.
Just how hard a job is it really?

You can discount the referee. They don't give offside.

I've a bit of sympathy with linesman. From his angle he sees Harry Maguires back, and then he probably just sees a bunch of bodies behind. Bet he can't even see the colour of shirt for most of them at eye level.

Got lucky though. I guess most will be spitting feathers there is no VAR. But as a fan, it is nice to celebrate such a goal, and know within 2 seconds it will def be given.

Looks like 4 players offside to me.

Linesman and ref not able to tell red from blue? - Just like some of the players - it seemed.

But we was robbed, guv!

Anyway - I enjoyed the half-time break. Best part of the match, it was.
 
Just seen footage of a post match interview with Amorim where he said the goal should have been disallowed for offside and it was harsh on Leicester.

Fair play to him for just admitting that his side got lucky with a bad decision. Got to respect that. 👏👏👏
