""Guys, to be really honest with you, every time that we have or have in the future one defeat like that, I'm going to be like that," said Amorim. "I'm going to say that sometimes I hate my players. Sometimes I love my players. Sometimes I want to defend my players. "This is my way of doing things and I'm going to be like that. And I felt that, in that moment, I was so frustrated and annoyed.""
"Defeat at League Two Grimsby was another low point and the former Sporting CP boss has admitted that, in the heat of the moment, he sometimes feels that he wants to walk away. "Sometimes I want to quit, sometimes I want to be here for 20 years, sometimes I love to be with my players, sometimes I don't want to be with them," he said."
"Amorim said "something has to change" following the penalty shootout defeat to the fourth-tier side and claimed his players had "spoken really loud about what they want" with their performance at Blundell Park. The result has increased the pressure on the Portuguese coach ahead of Burnley's trip to Old Trafford on Saturday. But the 40-year-old was smiling as he walked into his pre-match news conference at Carrington on Friday before he explained that his frustration had boiled over after watching his team lose at Grimsby."
