I think ETH is putting himself on the penalty spot by only aiming for Dutch and/or related players. This will ultimately lead to his downfall

I think we overachieved last year. I would be happy if we have the same number of points yet see more of the attacking style we're longing for. Btw. ETH-ball to me is getting the best out of the players he has at his disposal. Getting more modern players should allow for more modern football...

Maybe I'm naive but considering the billions the glazers will make selling, it seems to me a wise decision from a business perspective to allocate sufficient funds for transfers. After all, you want to showcase your merchandise in the best possible way

Having seen this game to me it confirms ETH has had an absolute brilliant season getting 3rd place, the other cup and this final given the players available to him.

Funny that even after completely being outplayed it's still possible to go for the equalizer...

I knew Wout wasn't going to be the best addition to the team ever, but still he disapointed. I cannot understand how a Dutch national team player that scores one goal every 2 games in both Germany and Turkey is not able to score even a single goal in the PL. For me personally ETH has done a...

kinda wonder what offer they have made to DDG. Could very well be that he is being "played". He might be offered way lower wages. If he doesn't accept it they can blame it on his greed. If he does accept it we could still get another keeper and let them fight for it. ETH also seems ruthless...

I find it difficult to talk about lessons learnt etc. It suggests that he should not make mistakes anymore next year. In reality as a manager you're dealing with people in a unpredictable sports activity. Shit happens. it's about making good decisions most of the time. Sometimes things don't go...

I really hope we'll just get top 4. Losing in Europe (after Betis though) and in the cup really doesn't matter. If the injuries really get to us and we become 5th all hell breaks loose because we were spoiled in the middle of the season and we will see stories like ETH running them into the...

I have seen situations in the Netherlands where team players pay for the tickets of the away supporters in order to try and make up at least a little of what they had to endure. Is this a thing in England?

Just shouting would be counterproductive and too simplistic I think. I would probably do the complete opposite. Similar to how "I'm not angry just disappointed" would be stereotypical thing a parent could say to his child (in the Netherlands at least). After that I could imagine a scenario...

- tactics were not that bad, considering 1st half - Weghorst is quite known for his defending, I fail to see how replacing him with someone else would suddenly makes us concede less goals. Weghorst might be responsible for the 0-side of the score, not the 7. - we're losing too much when playing...

Wow, never a dull moment with ETH. I have to say I got a little uncomfortable with all the praise the manager was getting. Some of the responses here though now that he's lost are just hysterically emotional. Main thing is that we recoup, Eth should take part of the blame and finish the season 3rd

funny thing is that the worst player of United was actually the star player against Messi in the World cup :-) The bar is quite high here

very nice statement from ETH. I do think he got some help phrasing the words since it looks like it's written by a native speaker. I am also very surprised by the sheer enjoyability of the matches. Is it just winning? I think not, Mourinho has proved that. Yet, even with relatively low...
