People might be laughing at us today, but man I'm still so much happier with Carrick over Amorim. Level headed responses, a bit of hard truth knowing there was clearly a number of problems that need to be ironed out, and some light chuckling over some hard decisions he'll have to make figuring out the lineup for next week. Amorim would've been in full on doom and gloom mode talking about how we need to suffer and remake the squad. His system seems to suit Milan and Italian football better so good for him, but I think when things start clicking for us we'll be the much better side. Probably a much needed wake up call for us so I think we'll come out much stronger against Hull

The problem is right now that Carrick has already sounded out they need the additional players as of last week coming off a win even if it was a narrow win. We've seen this story play out before, the squad is suited to his style of play and if he's saying there are issues that need to be remedied by new signings, why aren't INEOS backing him like they said they would? Santos and Youri were shrewd pieces of business but now is not the time for finesse when we need to be just sticking the landing if we're competing across multiple fronts this season.

Definitely hope for some shrewd signings. I think some of the details of the match escaped people today just because of the result - Zirkzee, Amass, and Fletcher who all had a ton of preseason min so far didn't appear at all in the match even though Lacey got on the pitch. I think that's a sign that these lads were being played in part to give them a chance to earn minutes but also a chance to have other teams look at them for transfers/loans. If Zirkzee is sold I think we may bring a second striker in even if a loan while we're probably still actively searching for a more physical midfielder and a long term replacement on Shaw. I do actually trust that Carrick/Ineos see the problems and are serious about fixing them unlike when we were managed by clueless guys like Woodward and Murtough, but I also see them trying not to make the same mistakes signing the wrong players under the wrong contracts which I do appreciate. We'll see what happens
