Jamie Carragher takes aim at Ruben Amorim: tactical system could change | OneFootball

Ruben Amorim has been the target of various criticisms after Manchester United’s defeat to Everton, 1-0, last Monday, November 24th. Jamie Carragher once again dedicated his comments to the former Sporting coach and was anything but ‘gentle’, ultimately comparing him to Roberto Martínez.

“Ruben Amorim seems to be the first coach I’ve ever seen who stays loyal to a tactical system, rather than to an idea of how to play. Using you, Roberto, as a reference, I always know how your teams will play, with the ball. It’s your idea,” he began, speaking to Sky Sports.

“The tactical system can change, but for Ruben Amorim, it’s his baby. And not changing it in situations like that... I don’t understand how you can remain so unwaveringly loyal to something, when, basically, you have a guy up front who, in reality, isn’t even there,” continued the former Liverpool legend.

“You don’t need to have three players up there. Maybe you could put midfielders there? We’ve seen coaches do that, take off a central defender and put on a central midfielder, because they know they’ll have much more of the ball, much more possession,” he concluded.

The truth is that Jamie Carragher didn’t stop there and chose to point the finger at Ruben Amorim as the main culprit for the defeat in question: “People will look at the players, and we all know the players should play better, but the coach is going to get most of the blame tonight.”

“Actually, I think the problem isn’t that they lost the three points tonight, since they can turn that around over the course of the season. However, this is one of those moments where a lot of people will question the coach after this defeat,” he finished.
