It may have been an ugly win on a cold, damp night but this performance had a level of control that’s been much needed
only had one of them at Craven Cottage, or at least only one on target, 78 minutes into this exercise in minimalism.
United had an academy-reared midfield on the pitch at the end, Kobbie Mainoo and the eager, totem-ish Toby Collyer. The away fans were boisterously happy. Even the manager’s way of pacing on his touchline, coiled for some unseen threat, like a late-night taxi driver braving the main drag on a Saturday night, had settled. This kind of night is exactly what Amorim is after right now.. It seemed last week as though United’s manager had stumbled on an amazing new tactic.
First things first, the 7pm Sunday night kick-off was an abomination, a show of contempt towards anyone with the gall to actually try to support their team in the flesh. Who wants this? Not UK television. Clearly not match-going fans. It is hard to imagine a more inconvenient and costly time. This isn’t necessary. The league already makes lots of money. No more please. This is not just another TV show.
