  • This. Although there are many who think think he is doing a good job and give a litany of excuses for performances. Can you imagine if Pep in his second season had a performance like we had at Brentford?
  • Obviously for effect, but there’s no evidence he’s even a very good manager at this point, which is the bare minimum for a club of our stature.
  • Is that including CL or just PL? I think if you include the CL, League Cup and FA cup it may be damn near the worst since before SAF. Probably more like 1.6 or 1.7 per game. So, yeah, we are conceding a lot of goals against subpar competition...
  • Mate, it’s just a ton of excuses. Seriously. I agree, there are two sides to this: Reality (Ten Hag is a mediocre manager) and pipe dream (greatest manager alive). Don’t let your desire for Ten Hag to be our savior make you blind to what is...
  • The Ten Hag in crowd has really latched on to Lisandro being so critical to Ten Hag’s tactics, he’s reached Virgil Van Dyke territory. Licha is good, probably our most consistent performer at CB and I love his temperament, but he may not even be...
  • As I said, leave it up. I can’t say the amazing win v Liverpool changed my mind, but it might have changed other people’s minds. I was happy for the team and Ten Hag with the win. For me, it’s the inconsistency. The mark of a good manager is the...
  • I was in support of Mount at the time. Not afraid to admit it. I thought he could play next to Casemiro in the Eriksen role in a 4-2-3-1 and provide cover for Bruno and the LF/RF. Thought it was too much money, but he was legitimately good for...
  • Not relevant at that point. The performance at Brentford was so dire, so awful, I believe it is relevant now. Frankly, it should be active all the time.
  • I read the article awhile back. I remember feeling like all were to blame. I think though, if we had to do it again, we wouldn’t buy Antony at any price, Mount at any price, Malacia at any price, Lisandro is a question mark… he is injured so...
  • I think they should open up the Sack ETH poll again. It would be interesting to see if the needle has moved again.
  • Does anyone have a source on “Ten Hag doesn’t decide fees”??? My understanding is that the board gives a budget to Ten Hag and the scouting team / Murtaugh. Once both the scouts/Ten Hag agree on the player, Murtaugh then begins the acquisition...
  • That’s the word. Lazy. In any company, when there is an employee who is severely underperforming, you don’t keep them in the job. You sack them and find someone who can do the job. You may not get it right the first time at executive levels...
  • You know… I have thought this several times over the season. Fred was infuriating at times because he was frequently out of position as as a DM and was pretty wasteful in possession and wasn’t great under pressure. BUT, he was an attack dog and...
  • 400m worth of cheap punts… I’ll give you that haha. I believe our net spend is 2nd highest in the PL behind Chelsea since ETH joined.
  • Didn’t know you were waiting for this… I was wrong. The number is 15. Roughly €450m spent. He had veto power, so he agreed to every single one. I’m assuming he also had a budget. I don’t think he has full accountability for the transfers, but...
