  1. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    You lost me at the thought that we played well by beating Newcastle in the league cup final. We were poor in that game, it's just Newcastle were even worse.
  2. Manchester United vs Burnley

    Is this your first time watching us this season?
  3. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    He's got his 70 million pound CF and his 90 million right winger. Both of whom have been available for the vast majority of the season. Neither have hit the required standard. It was his decision to cut Sancho off so he has to live with that. And Rashford and Bruno are good quality proven...
  4. VAR and Refs | General Discussion

    You can't reach that level of accuracy even with semi-automated because ultimately your still working with a frame rate that will always give you some sort of margin of error. I think the refs do that more now anyway, don't make a decision and wait for VAR to back them up. If anything in a...
  5. VAR and Refs | General Discussion

    The technology even semi-automated is not that accurate easily a margin of error between 10-30 cm. Possibly even more. It either needs much bigger margin of error putting in to it where it reverts to the linesman original decision. Or you don't use it and say offside is only given where a player...
  6. VAR and Refs | General Discussion

    Offside should be done from the basis of, has the linesman made an obvious error. Anything that is around level possibly just on/just off. Just gets left with the linesman decision. Anything where the linesman has clearly made an error then gets overturned. No lines or anything like that. The...
  7. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    I think he knows he's gone. He is in full excuse mode. The Injuries do excuse him somewhat but not enough IMO. Not been good enough either way. I suspect the players know he is gone aswell, they will be up for the cup but there going to be on the beach for the league games aren't they?
  8. How bad have our injuries really been this season?

    If we train anything like we play, than undoubtedly yes.
  9. Fa Cup Replays Scrapped

    It's an absolute disgrace of a decision. There are no there are no other words for it. It's a betrayal of the EFL and non league pyramid by the FA. The FA is meant to stand for all clubs at all levels they have compleatly ignored the wishes of the vast majority of clubs In this country to...
  10. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    No, we didn't thrown away 2x 2 goal leads at galatassary 1x2 goal lead and a 1 goal at Copenhagen and then twice a 1 goal lead at home to gala on the back of 'individual mistakes'. It's on the back of a diabolical tactical approach. Bear in mind the only win we got was thanks to a Harry Maguire...
  11. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    Rinse and repeat performances. Been the same all season no matter who plays. Narrow press that's easily got round with the wide forwards trying to cover to much space. A midfield with no positional discipline that is absolutely wide open leaving the defense constantly exposed and we wonder why...
  12. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    I think the Rashford issue is more to do with bringing Hojlund than anything else. Rashford is at his best making out to in runs behind/along the defensive line. The problem is Hojlund also like to spin in behind onto his left foot, straight into the space Rashford wants to work in. I think...
  13. Post match vs Liverpool

    I'm very much in the same camp, thought individually we were largely fine today, but the teams performances overall was pretty awful. The tactics and setup are complete kamikaze, and we get nothing out of it. If we had scored a shed loads of goals this season or at least made a shed loads of...
  14. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    Don't judge a manager on results, judge him on performance. A 2-2 draw at home to a title chasing Liverpool is a perfectly acceptable result. But we were incredibly lucky. Without a huge mistake from Liverpool we don't get back into the game. Without a plethora of missed chances and...
  15. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    Not directly no, but if you concede that many shots, that much pressure that many touches in the box. Than you run the risk of those sort of things happening.
