What is Ten Hag actually responsible for? Does he devise the training drills? Does he impose a fitness regime (weightlifting, diet, etc.)? Is he the one who comes up with tactics? Those seem like things the manager would do, but if the tactics are drills are drawn up by someone else, that person needs firing. Maybe the individual coaches (goalkeeping, defensive, offensive) are just shit too.
I like that Ten Hag has integrated youth into the side, even if his hand was somewhat forced.
I don't like how he keeps picking out of form players, how no one gets dropped no matter how big of an egg they lay in the center circle.
Ten Hag was surely given benchmarks to hit, and it doesn't look like he's going to hit them. We've got the FA Cup final, and we face Sheffield United, Burnley, Palace, Arsenal, Newcastle, Brighton in our remaining fixtures. I suppose if the team somehow pulls itself together and goes on a barnstorming run, wins the FA Cup, wins 4 or 5 out of 6 of our remaining games, Ten Hag can stay. But if we look like Dog And Duck after the 70th minute mark in any game and we play like an assemblage of pick up players in the park on Sunday, then whatever it is he's been trying to do has utterly and completely failed.
