Its being played in Spain at Espanyol's stadium....40,000 capacity....Andorra's population is around 80k.

I know we need to give Tuchel time, but this is dire and the team selection, not sure what that's about. Disappointed Angel Gomes not in the squad either but we have Henderson. Is this really a team for the next 2 years.

Well, I'm now convinced Henderson will be in the England squad in 2 years anyway.
He is England's Ronaldo. He'll get picked whilst he can still walk

A truly glorious half of football. I think England might nick this in the second half, which would be a fantastic result away from home...

Well, he's certainly been missing in this game.
This is dire bordering on the hilarious.
But, to be fair to Andorra, they've defended very well and are working bloody hard for each other.

Inspired selection imo.
How did he know it would be played at walking pace.
Were that bad even Pickford is hitting it long as we can’t beat the Andorran press.
There’s a dirty black cloud lingering near the front of our house. I’m hoping that, in about ten minutes, the heavens open and it absolutely hoses it down for forty five minutes and that I lose my satellite signal.
That was absolutely dire.

Lets hope Tuchel has deployed the anal dynamite at half time.

Absolutely shocking!
Way too negative, players out of position and showing them far too much respect.
It might be a poor fixture that the players aren't bothered about but we've taken 10,000 there.

Serious question.
Why would one of the biggest clubs in the world put up with that? Do you actually think things will suddenly change with the addition of a few good but not elite players? You can't rip up the whole team in one window either.
Sadly I think you'ver backed another loser and will be looking for another manager before Christmas.

On himself hopefully.
First half was bad but it’s got worse.!

I think Henderson must be Parched*.
That’s the reason Tuchel picks him.

Tbh he’s been no worse than anyone else !
I have never seen a CB who goes down as easy as Konsa looking for fouls in his own half!
Think Crouchy would improve this lot!

You think another manager would have finished in the European spots with that side? Or do you think something like 10th would have been acceptable?
Do you not keep telling us how shocking Hojlund is, our only striker? Which other players, apart from Bruno, do you think are capable of scoring a lot of goals?
We have a team of players who can't score. I saw plenty of well coached games, that would have very likely resulted in wins had the Utd players not been so completely inept at scoring.
Too many of them are young, lightweight and struggle against battling opponents.
So, personally, I'm happy not to judge the manager after just half a season. With such a lightweight squad, if we did that, we'd probably just end up sacking managers every 6 months

I think it would be impossible to find a manager that would've done worse. He's had two thirds of the season and there's been no progress, if anything results got worse. You'd expect a minimum of some improvement and signs the new manager and system was working.
You're right a top class striker is a game changer but last season you finished 8th with the same issues and ETH in charge. You've actually gone two steps backwards and bought in Zirkzee.
You'd be better off giving managers six months until you find the right one, rather than persisting with the wrong managers. I'd personally like to be proved wrong and we see a different Man Utd next season but just can't see it.

And just as Zirkzee started to have some influence, he got injured. Same with Amad.
The team played like a bunch of players who knew the future would be uncertain. Some know they will be moved on, some may expect to stay but know the players around them will be very different in a few months.
Keep changing manager every 6 months, the players will never feel settled.
I don't know any Utd fans that are asking for Amorim to be sacked. So I'm guessing only a very small proportion are asking for that. Given that Utd fans want to play exciting football and finish much higher than 15th, I'm sure they have fair reasons in wanting to keep Amorim. I'm not a one off
