It's probably the worst squad of players we've had in my lifetime (the 1st 20 years were pretty amazing in fairness) in part due to him completely underestimating the standard of the league and thinking buying a bunch of players he knew would work and then it's definitely the worst coached and disorganised United team I've seen. The only justification for keeping him is that next year is essentially already a write off as the structure is still being put in place and I'm not sure a new manager deserves to have to deal with that along with the absolute mess that he has created (or at least made significantly worse).
But if we don't have great players then he doesn't have to set up so that the midfield has massive gaps in every single game and concede 30 shots. I mean give any other manager in the league the players on the pitch today and don't play so often to concede 4 against Palace in 66 minutes.

Ten Hag is actually a coward.

He claims to have this idea of playing and this game model that runs right through the club. So why are we not seeing more kids filling the gaps in our squad. Van Gaal had Borthwick-Jackson. Is Wan Bissaka that much better than Harry Amass at left back?

If you are going to stick to this suicidal philosophy at least put round pegs in round holes.

He's cooked, I would sack him just before the city game to give everyone a kick up the arse.

We played much better than this in the Watford hammering. Maybe Ole deserves an apology.

Announce him gone, you aren’t fooling anyone thinking he’s staying on

Putting Amass out there is not the answer we're looking for. He should have had Dalot at LB and AWB at RB.

This was obviously going to happen months ago, to anyone with a brain and a pair of eyes at least.

It’s a bit late to be agreeing that he needs to go at the “pope is catholic” stage of proceedings.

These players aren’t mentally strong. We’re losing that game regardless of who’s in charge.

I'll be a happy man if I wake up to him being sacked in the morning.

No one has earned it more than him. Disgrace he wasn't sacked straight after the CL campaign

Injuries or not, with the players we have, I would have expected some fight at least.

It has come to a point where not sacking ETH would be the ultimate slap on the face by INEOS ……for us fans.

If they've got someone lined up he's gone in the morning.This is unacceptable.
