Amorim Missteps Leave Fans Baffled…
In a game that felt as endless as a game of monopoly after everyone’s bankrupt but keeps playin’, Ruben Amorim decided to bring on two center backs at 1-1 in the 83rd minute, defying Manchester United fans’ chants of “attack, attack, attack”. It didn’t help that United’s strikers were as rare as a unicorn napping in a hammock, with Benjamin Sesko only managing to make a scenery-appreciation tour around the field. The United supporters were baffled, as much as they’d be watching a squirrel solving a Rubik’s cube, when Harry Maguire nearly scored with his first touch.
Amorim’s decision-making during the match vanished quicker than a pizza at a teenage sleepover. The arrival of Manuel Ugarte, who seemed as confident as a cat in a dog park, coincided with Fulham’s equalizer, and Diogo Dalot shared the guilt by committing a slip-up familiar to all United fans. The fans were left puzzled, the way you are when you find your toaster in the fridge, as Fulham avoided defeat at home to United for the first time in 15 years. Even with United’s ÂŁ133.5m attacking trio giving it their all, goals were harder to find than a needle in a pin-factory haystack.
