    we know our players our bad yes
    but where is the pressing game Ten Hag promised us, where is the man who they said will be shouting at the players unlike Ole
    Two games into the season it is apparant we cannot get anywhere near opposition players to make tackles or win balls
    We have to earn the right to play, take their 4th goal for example Sancho fcukn weak in the box to loose possession

    Where is the manager, what have we been doing in training because i cannot see after a game and half.
    I for one question his judgement because most of us thought Maguire is done in the starting 11, after last week Shaw should not be starting this game, dont get me started on Rashford

    There's something deeply wrong with this group. Their mentality, belief and approach is all so wrong.
    I think they're mentally gone now. They've taken too many heavy defeats. They can't handle the pressure of playing for this club.

    Martinez, good player in the wrong league or atleast position. Fecking hell Hag, what are you thinking ?
    The second the interest in Martinez came up, loads of us said it was suicidal to bring such a tiny player in for centre back.

    The "smart" posters told us that because 2 of the all time best in history Baresi and Cannavaro were ok, and posted a few clips of him tackling a couple of top strikers, that'd we 'd be ok.

    Today has gone, but we need to get Varane and McTom on asap.
    Have at least some chance of defending set pieces then.

    Fred off, Varane on. Move Martinez to number 6, push Erikson to number 8. Malacia for Shaw and garnacho for Rashford. He has to make 3 changes in this half, get the overpaid names off, these shits need to know this is unacceptable. They cannot keep blaming every manager, they are the problem.
    Sounds okay. But you just as well sub Sancho or Ronaldo as Rashford.

    There's only one United!
    I am livid at everyone everything. But just keeping the head calm and thinking...DDG finished the game with his two mistakes. After that every player gave up, which is in their nature.

    I don't know what the feck I am saying. My mind is cooked up completely.
    You are so right.
    DDG fecked the game up and our players fell to pieces.

    Oddly, there's no way that was our worst half of football recently. We were worse against Brighton in the 1st half imo.

    But the individual errors are simply unacceptable.

    How is Shaw starting over Malacia aswell? Surely if we’re not gonna be starting Malacia then it would of made sense to sign a rb instead of a lb that ain’t gonna be playing. Dalot is awful!

    We really struggle with teams who play 3 at the back, and seems like we never do anything to counteract it.

    Let's match them in the second half.

    Ronaldo
    Sancho
    Shaw Fred Eriksen Bruno Dalot
    Martinez Varane Maguire
    De Gea​

    The most irksome thing to me is our inability to win second balls. We're always a split second behind to react. Effort should be 110% which isn't there. We expect the ball to come to us for some reasons. Even when we have swarmed a player we're still unable to get the ball of him because we don't put in the legs or tackles in there and instead just surround the guy without doing anything.

    I thought we were gonna win this match. :o

    Not sure what to do for the second half. Shall I watch it, or inject myself with heroin to numb the pain?

    The malaise is so set into these guys that it will take a long time to purge. They need to go back to basics and keep a fcuking clean sheet. Two games in and we might as well give up on top 4 and use this as a “start from scratch” job.

    This might be overly fatalistic but nobody decent is going to sign for us while this mess continues.

    At this rate, I hope we give a walk over and take the 3-0 defeat against Pool. Hope there's rioting outside the stadium before that match and every match. If the club doesn't do anything now, then it never will.

    I’m 100% team ETH and will back him all the way.. however.. he needs to be way more ruthless. Saying this group is good enough isn’t the one.. they are not. Time to get ruthless. I cannot believe that we’re two games into the season with pretty much the same first team as last season. It’s not good enough and I’m hoping and preying that the penny drops real quick.
    We are in a situation where he MUST start showing that he will not stand idle in front of this shit. Just like others before me, I would make most subs now and play the kids for the second half. If our regulars think they have been humiliated, they are not humiliated enough. Oh, no!

    That's the funny part, it's like many of the fans praising our pre-season never seen a pre-season game in their life.
    Everything is 3x times slower, less physical and energetic. That's why our possession-play from the back football worked.
    It's like hitting a boxsack vs a real opponent.
    And crucially, zero pressure.

    It's not even just the fact that we shipped 4 goals. It's also our inability to score a fecking goal. Rashford is absolute fecking useless these days.
    This.
    Rashford and Sancho are useless..
    So are Shaw and Dalot
    We need to buy atleast 2-3 players uptop..

    Pay the 80M to Anthony.. Gapko, Moratta..

    So fecking depressing seeing some of the coward morons playing on the pitch again. Bruno fecking fernandes, can you just fecking rip your contract apart and get out of the football club you clown. You did nothing over the last two years, nothing to suggest you are a proffessional player. Not sure what kind of status he's got to always be in the starting lineup, play kids instead of him.

    Same with deGea, arguably one of our best players last year but typical trophyless coward Manutd player of late. can't take responsibility and crumbles under pressure. How many stupid errors he made. Just look at the goalkeepers in th premier league, I would have at least dozen over him. He regressed so much.

    Now what is eriksen thinking. obviously every week this guy didn't play for the more demigod status he was getting. We all know he's been played out of position but he can'tdo thinks like that thinking he's got time. He's not in fecking Italy..

    Ronaldo please sign for someone else. Shambolic running stats except for Fred who is the onlyone capable of winning the ball. that is really a horrible statistics and which is costing us so much. No player with defensive awarness and we want to play fron footfootball, pressing the otehr teams, while we are pressed like hell ourselves.

    One thing is to be press resistant and one thing is to have in your blood to work hard and win the ball for your team, those clowns don't know either..

    Play which footballers?
    The only way our players can play is low block and counter attack
    Play Jones for feck sake.

    He's 10 times the footballer then this fat squareheaded cnut that thinks he's fecking Franz Beckenbauer.

    Daft fecker.

    You can't!!! Play!!! Harry!!! Maguire!!!! And expect to win a game of football.

    You can't do it!

    Erik ten Hag better get his head out of his ass and realize that.

    That's step number one.

    1. Glazers have to go. That has nothing to do with just this game but several seasons of obvious rot. A boycott and peaceful demonstrations would be a start.

    2. United need to be ruthless. There needs to be complete clear out of deadwood and literally an entire team of capable players replacing them. Which brings us back to point 1, the fecking glazers need to go.

    "You and your paper can feck off."
    Ignore the 1st, come on. He was a caretaker who had no say on transfers. Which is a shame given he knew this lot were shite.
    He had from the last few days of November to April to have us looking remotely like a football team and give the new manager something to build on. I think he managed that for about 35 minutes against Crystal Palace.
