<p>Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United tenure reached a new low on Wednesday night as they were knocked out of the League Cup by Grimsby Town. Critics say he is too wedded to his 3-4-3 system, but has his ideological approach bought him more time than a more pragmatic manager would get?</p><br><p>On today’s Libero, Rory Smith, Jack Pitt-Brooke and Jonathan Wilson discuss Amorim’s struggles and the importance of having a philosophy in the modern game.</p><br><p>English football has traditionally rejected abstract ideas but that looks to have changed over the last 10 years since Pep Guardiola’s arrival.

Or are we starting to see a turn back towards pragmatism through managers like Thomas Frank?</p><br><p>Produced by: Tom Bassam</p><br><p>Email in via <a href="mailto:[email protected]" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">[email protected]</a></p><p>Follow us on X <a href="https://x.com/podcast_libero" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@podcast_libero</a></p><p>Follow us on Bluesky <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/liberopodcast.bsky.social" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@liberopodcast.bsky.social</a></p><p>Follow us on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/liberopod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@liberopod</a></p><p>Follow us on TikTok <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@liberopod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@liberopod</a></p><p>Subscribe to our YouTube channel <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@liberopod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@liberopod</a></p><br><p>Music: Kid Kodi - Blue Dot Sessions</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
