did I just hear a madman asking Sancho for 40 assists this season?!?
Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager
- Thread starter sewey89

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
I fecking love ETH already!
Seemed like he saw the camera pointing at him at 2 seconds and ignored it. Good lad
Klopp would have seen it and started jumping around, salivating and wanking
Disjointed? Our performances have ben disjointed for years!
I'm expecting us to look much less disjointed against Liverpool tomorrow with signs of a proper plan.
Finally, an actual manager! It's been too many years.
Its been 1 week of training for many of them, 2 for some. I wouldn't expect much tomorrow!
This looks night and day from what we’ve seen over the last few years. I swear to god if we hear any complaining from the players this year they need firing into the sun.
I've listened to the press conference, it was quite good.
What was quite not good is Samuel's voice. Why in the feck does he try to sound interesting when he speaks like he's reciting a poem or some sort? What a fecking bell end.

I agree that he was a proper coach in the truest sense, but I always got the impression he was at the stage of his career where he was set in his ways and wasn't going to budge on anything. He was happy for us to retain the ball, even if it meant rarely going forward, just to prove the team was doing exactly what he said. I think Van Gaal 10-20 years earlier would have been so interesting, but we ultimately got him at the wrong time.
Really impressed to see his hands-on approach and intensity in training. Seems like a man on a mission to fix our mess. Can’t wait to see us in a game.
I honestly wonder if the players ever heard of this."Make triangles, that is football it's always the same principle"
I doubt it the last coaching team was about good vibes and that's it

Oh feck. Inject this in my veins.
We actually have a proper manager this time. One who actually trains his players and I'm sure tactically we will be much improved.
Its also 32 degrees in Bangkok so there is absolutely NO mercy from ETH.
fecking holidays over lads.
Better get on it or you're heading out the door with the other clowns - pogba and lingard.
The fact he had to say it means they’ve never even thought about it before now
I agree. Van Gaal was/is absolutely a great football coach. I do however feel like the CL final loss against Mourinho left him some kind of trauma that changed him too much as a manager. Obviously that was a final between two different styles. Van Gaal stuck with his principles and possession based philosophy, but became very cautious and frightened for the counterattack.
Afterwards his teams haven't been adventurous anymore. He's too scared to lose the ball in a bad place and therefore instructs his team to keep the ball and wait very patiently, reducing risk to the minimum. This led to the boring football at United. It's a shame he let go too much of his early years more free attacking philosophy. Nevertheless still a great coach, tacticly sound and one knows how to make his players better.
These feckers have had it way too easy for way too long. Hopefully ETH cracks down hard and there are no places to hide anymore. And the club should support him in this so he doesn't get thrown under the bus like his predecessors. If you can't take it and don't want it - there is the door.
I have a feeling that Jadon is going to a lot of these "Jadooonnnnnn" screams during the season
I'm calling him Humpty Dumpty from now on, "Maguire is my captain & he has been very successful" he says, "good squad" he says, I'm now waiting for Humpty Dumpty to have his very big fall when he sees Maguire play awful & his good squad put in one awful performance after another.
VVD, Dias, Silva, Konate, Matip, Stones, Laporte, Romero, White. I just named 9 off the top of my head that I would take over Maguire not even counting those from our own squad. He’s bang average as a CB and even then way more suited for a team looking to sit deep and defend their own box than one that wants to be progressive
I get it, because he's bald. Fecking genius. How long did it take you to come up with such a knee slapper?
It's almost as if ol' Humpty is trying to keep morale up and not shit all over the squad he's just inherited. But at least if he does play Maguire we've got your witicisms to look forward to.
Will see how it goes of course but for the first time in years it genuinely feels like we have someone in charge who is a progressive coach who clearly knows what he is doing. No more of that "go out there and express yourselves lads" or park the bus nonsense looks like.
Looks very involved hands on so to speak
Watch the sky mini doc and tell me you aren't excited for this guy as our manager.
These players are knackered. You love to see it, much love for the manager
Where can I watch this?
Recency bias is a wonderful thing. Had to read that a couple times… White
Fred being Fred, over committing and leaving himself on his arse. How typical.
He's even got Fred spitting down himself
Good!He's even got Fred spitting down himself
Players need to work hard for their money!
On another note, ETH is so damn intense and quite strict. I love it! Players in need of discipline.
Was that Iqbal?
I've just implemented this at my home, I'm Erik Ten Haag. Come at me bros
Yep, interesting how there was reported loan interest in him and Savage yet they have both gone on tour whilst other players who have had interest have been asked to stay behind.
To get back to their positions as soon as possible. I'm sorry I have to spell this out to you Can't differentiate serious and sarcastic posts anymore, sorry.
What will he have them do when they concede during an actual match?
Jesus. The form on those press-ups…
We looked fabulous from the off in LvG's first pre-season. I know it wasn't sustained when the proper fixtures began, but at the time it was an absolute revelation.
