    Your seriously deluded if you think we're losing because of rangnick getting tactically outclassed.
    There are so many reasons why we are losing mate,but you never see a plan with this giuy
    We all know how Brighton play and there was no tactics to counter this
    It’s almost like picking 11 players just go and play
    We could have played Fred,Matic and Scott together to counter Brighton’s aggression but he just did nothing
    What a fraud…

    Wouldn't have mattered. Brighton were far more aggressive in the duels. Our players are far too weak, it's as simple as that. To be fair to Ralf, he did make two changes at half time. Didn't work, but he tried. It's the same every time. The is no coherence in this team.

    A beautiful sight?! You want to see the club crash and burn to further down the table?!

    Let’s get our facts right here. The Glazers are going NOWHERE. Longer we learn to accept that the better.

    I want ETH to stick with this and get us back to where we belong, not just quitting
    Yeah they are going nowhere because not someone willing to put the money up

    Well of course, money talks at the end of the day, but all this glazers out protesting literally is going to do feck all.

    Someone would have to come in with a fat wad of cash and slap it on the table to test their resolve.

    I agree that it's a steaming pile of shit, but I still feel like Ralf is the plumber that just gave up halfway in and called his parent company, instead of doing some drastic shit to get it to flush.
    All we can go on are rumors, but it was rumored at the time that Ralf wanted to get rid of Lingard and bring in a decent CDM in January, but the oracles who run United said no to both. We can't be sure of the truth of these rumors, but if they are true surely Ralf gets some points for trying to strengthen the squad when the chance to do so was before him.

    Ridding Lingard and bringing in a decent CDM may not have prevented the downward spiral of the club, no doubt, but it might have.

    But from a broader perspective, it's hard to see what more any interim manager could have accomplished given what he was given after the string of capitulations that led to Ole's sacking. First, the steaming pile of shit. Then then Pogba drama. Then the Lingard drama. Then the Greenwood drama. Then the abysmal form of both Rashford and Maguire, which was well baked in before Ralf accepted the scepter. Then club management saying no to any new bodies in January (which might have been prudent, to be fair).

    We could have gone in for Conte, which I supported at the time, but it remains an open question as to whether that would have been the right thing to do. As it is, we landed the EL spot we were destined for by the time we brought in Ralf, and instead of being stuck with Conte (he's got plenty of doubters) we'll soon have a manager whom many believe (I'm one of them) has the tools to bring us back to where we belong.

    United minus the Glazers
    Realistically we’d want every single player who played today sold but that’s not going to happen in the next few years. I hope we bring in at least 2 players next season because we’d might be staring at a bottom half finish otherwise or even relegation

    A fair comment, but I disagree with it. Ralf was given a steaming pile of shit. We were already out the PL trophy hunt by then and top four was our only hope at that point. Several key players have had horrible seasons, like Maguire, that we can’t blame Ralf for.
    Why not? We laud other managers for making their players better.

    Could we get ETH in for the last game of the season? Eredivisie will already be over. I'd like ETH to see how rubbish these players are first hand as quickly as possible so he can immediately start binning them off and getting replacements instead of wasting time on the pre-season and missing out on some potential targets.
    The stupid board will probably be telling him in the summer that he can't get rid of this player & can't get rid of that player because they've given them a new 5 year contract at £300,000 per week.

    I could see this coming if you look hard enough, the Brentford win was a one off game we outplayed them deserved it, its again harping back to the late 70s early 80s, were results were like it is now. Brighton are a good team all season , today they took all there chances, utd didn't. I've said before roll on next season. And don't expect anything different next game .
