If you read my previous posts on this very page, you’ll find that I was quite complimentary of Ten Hag and happy for the win. If Garnacho takes one of those chances, we win 3-1.
There is something called nuance, where we can be critical of Ten Hag and complimentary at the same time.
Putting McTominay on and Lindelof worked out. He still hasn’t coached the team on how to break a high press, we were turning the ball over consistently. The xG was 2.68 Villa vs 1.99 United. Dalot cleared a couple of shots off the line and Onana had some luck and also some nice saves.
Happy for the team and Ten Hag, but at the same time I’m not convinced he’s the answer as the manager. Neither should you be convinced.
I don't think you get to lecture me on nuance given the ridiculous strawman you had to resort to in your previous post.
We were turning the ball over, but we're noticeably much better against a high press when we have our more press resistant players on the pitch, a back four that includes Maguire, Varane, and Lindelof is never going to be brilliant when pressed no matter who is coaching them.
As for the xG, it's not enough to tell the story of the game, we had Rashford on the ball in the 6 yard box but he passed instead of shooting and so that's automatically 0 xG.
Your last line is very reasonable, and I agree, he may not be the guy to take us to the top but he has made some definite improvements and if someone else takes over they'll be inheriting a much better team than the one ETH inherited.
