Amorim is not the problem, just a very small part of it.

He isn’t the biggest problem but he also at this moment in time doesn’t seem to be any part of a solution

As with Spurs right now it’s very lucky there are 3 teams that are really bad to stop both being part of any sort of relegation battle

Looking like he may have been the wrong appointment at the time even though I think he has a bright future as a manager

He really didn't want to join United when he did.
He wanted to start next season but was given a now or never ultimatum by United.

He has prob made the wrong choice then looking at what’s happened since he arrived and also again shows poor management from Ineos if they are throwing ultimatums like that

Football's a silly game.

Interesting here because it’s a slight tug and Young had made a meal of it

But is it a clear and obvious error ?

 

[Don Barzini]

Absolutely ridiculous they sent him to the monitor for that.

Absolutely ridiculous.

Ashley Young

Utd got away with one. Beautiful technique in throwing himself to ground in the most unnatural way. But, was contact and VAR doesn't normally get involved

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Have no issues if that’s the standard that they can send a ref to the monitor to check

 

[Don Barzini]

Ah now I understand. Fergusons in the crowd. He’s called and told them to intervene.

 

[Swango1980]

On balance, I'll take that point

 

[Don Barzini]

But it isn’t. In every single other game, it isn’t.

 

[Slime]

Well, that was a game of two halves.

 

[Arthur Wedge]

But it isn’t. In every single other game, it isn’t.

That’s the issue with it all - inconsistency

A ref has very rarely ever sent to the monitor because of that

Very very strange

That’s not clear and obvious

 

[Lord Tyrion]

But it isn’t. In every single other game, it isn’t.

Deep sigh. I'm guessing neither of us are that surprised

 

[Swango1980]

In fairness, had Ashley Young did that against any other side and won Everton a penalty, opposition fans would be seething.

Perhaps Young's reputation working against him?

Absolutely ridiculous.

Wouldn't mind if it was consistent.. other weeks they won't .

Yes Young made a meal of it but that’s not the issue people have with it all

How many times has it been given or not given for that level of contact and the ref has been sent to the monitor

It’s not a clear and obvious and VAR shouldn’t have got involved and even then to not even show the angle that shows the shirt pull as well

I remember when he was at Utd, made Tom Daley look like an amateur.
Even Fergie had to have a word
