We should imo. He might be fine again. New start and everything.
Erik ten Hag - Ajax Manager
- Thread starter Panther
- Start date
Then he should earn it. We shouldn't just hand one out
Ajax's most creative player, Dusan Tadic has a lower pass completion than Bruno this season. Players who are tasked with creating chances are going to lose the ball. We have far far worse problems in our team than Bruno.
Oh I agree. I was just answering the question as to who is going to suit his style.
Fair play on that Tadic stat though. I didn't know that.
Not watched the video yet but ETH can't change the entire squad straight away, so will be interested to see how he can get on without the right players. Maybe the best we can hope for is a Klopp or Pep first season type of year. Promising but clear flaws in the squad that will then become more evident than they are now.
It will at least provide some players with the opportunity to prove him/fans wrong and we could be pleasantly surprises by some.
Well we can give him a new contract if he is fine again
Would love Van Persie back, not even sure he's a good coach but he comes across really well in punditry.
The tifo video is a word for word from the article
They're two sides of the same thing aren't they? Athletic/Tifo?
Welcome to Manchester Erik. I look forward to ironically supporting you in two seasons time when everyone else has got tired of your football and is calling you a fraud.
Hope that contract is close to being signed. Bayern a few minutes from entering the ‘race’?
And ? Managers are not like players. They don’t all start at the same age or rely on physical attributes other than the ability to draw breath
I don't think they'd sack Nagelsmann before the end of the season.
Did Ten Hag say 'yes' too early? There is an opening at Bayern Munich.
You're giving him that long??
Just wait till we're 1-0 down at Fulham next season and fans are twerking for Poch again.I think the Athletic acquired Tifo or something like that.
Would they need to? Sound out a new guy, bide time and wrap up in summer.
Tadic is utilised as a inverted wide attacker from the left, so unless Bruno is utilised in a similar fashion, he'll have to improve his ball retention ability in a central role.
Rashford will get a new deal purely down to our lack of senior options in attacking areas.
Rashford
Sancho
Ronaldo
Elanga
That's all we're going into next season with, unless you count Martial coming back
Haha I'll come back to this post in about 18 months time Im sure.
I mean, if you’re Bayern why would you not be all over this? ten Hag then having to choose.
Thanks i will take a watch.
Bayern to hijack this, so close, yet so far.
Welcome to Manchester United, Brenda Rodgers.

Relax
I don't see Nagelsmann being sacked at all, not after one season anyway. He's going to win them the Bundesliga playing attractive football, these CL blunders happen. Perhaps the Bayern fans here can weigh in, but the impression I get is they don't want him gone. He's still one the most promising managers in Europe.
We shall take nagelsmann then.
They’re fuming! And he hasn’t been very good.Relax

They would be, but once the storm settles they'll realise its premature to let him go after one season. It's not like he's throwing away the league.
Great news. Its a risk, but we needed to take a risk. I didnt hate Poch, thought he would’ve been a really good hire too, but feel like the club needed to go this route. I really, really hope this works out because I don’t know where we go if it doesn’t.
Done Dealio by the sounds of it. Exciting stuff, which is rare for us these days. Not sure I've been more mentally checked out than I have these last few weeks.
Fair point. It didn’t even take half a season for Ralf to get dumped.You're giving him that long??
Need to confirm him now before Bayern get any ideas!
Feck sake.You're giving him that long??
Amadaeus will twerk with a 4-0 win over Pool even.
You realise Bayern will win the league right? They also paid a phenomenal amount for Nagelsmann (€25m). He won’t be sacked.
United have been negotiating with ten Hag for weeks/months and a deal has been agreed in principle. He’s also a man of great integrity by all accounts.
You’re either very silly or just trying to wind people up if you think anything other than him joining United. Especially that Bayern will suddenly snap him up.

People say this about every manager we sign just because of the dopamine hit. No one knows if he'll be any good for us, plenty of Eredevisie managers and players looked great at Ajax and then were rubbish elsewhere.
You must be fun at parties
Makes no difference. Tadic just so happens to be their most creative player who just so happens to be most comfortable on the left. A few years ago he played up front for them and used his creativity from central areas (as he still often does when he comes central). Bruno's most comfortable in a central attacking position and will therefore remain in that position. He will continue trying to create chances as he should. Bruno's had periods of time where he's been fully capable of linking play and bringing others into the game. It's not a coincidence he has been giving the ball away more when the rest of the team are playing terribly and not getting in good positions to receive the ball. His best linkup play has been with Fred when Fred has moved into more advanced areas of the pitch where he is most comfortable. The rest of our players don't offer good passing options. McTominay in particular is terrible at this. This is one area where VDB could help if he can adapt under ETH since he is actually quite good at making himself available to receive the ball.
Fred and McTominay have much better pass accuracy because they don't try these passes (in fact Fred has a better passing accuracy this season than any of Ajax's midfielders). Doesn't mean that's what ETH necessarily wants from them.

That’s not remotely true. Ole and Mourinho both were received with quite divided viewpoints.
