What exactly is ETH level? I'm not necessarily advocating for Southgate to United so let's get that out of the way but I'm curious as to where people get this idea that ETH is levels above the likes of Southgate. Ten Hag hasn't done anything to warrant being viewed levels above someone like...

The bolded is very strange to me. With previous managers I was able to understand why some people clung on to them whether I found their reasoning silly or not. With the likes of Mourinho and LVG, they had long CVs and rich history of winning at the highest level to back them up, so folks...

The way he's been harping on about that, one would think Ten Hag had surpassed the point tally by 10+ points or something. :lol:

Ten Hag probably winked at him once, so he decided to dedicate his entire time on the Caf defending him and pretending he hasn't underperformed both stylistically and result wise.

Can't believe some people still bother defending Ten Hag. The whole allure and point of bringing him here was to see the team adapt to modern changes and play a modern brand of football with emphasis on controlling games and technicality yet we're playing some terrible football and getting...

Bundesliga is such a pathetic league and Bayern are simply shameless, knowingly making their product(Bundesliga) weak and a joke. Continuously win the league year after year and as soon as they is a strong competitor opposite them, they go ahead and try to poach all their resources. What a joke...

I think that's exactly why he added Mason Mount, because Ten Hag dropped the possession control idea and decided to go all in with the transition football. His targets have clearly shifted from what he wanted last year. His pursuit of DeJong was indicative of his desire to control games but...

I think it's due to personnel. I believe Ten Hag gave up dream of complete control and focus on transition because that's the cards he's been dealt with. Our best players are best suited for transition football(Bruno, Rashford, Casemiro, etc) and when asked to control games against decent team...

The problem is that most of his best players don't suit any football that warrant control, so his hands are really tied. Remember, managers ought to be able to adapt to what they have. I'm sure if he could get rid of said players and replace them with quality he'd have probably stuck to his...

Won't be too harsh on him given he's being played out of position, a position that accentuates his weaknesses. Expecting Rashford to play centrally with tight coverage on him every time he's got the ball is pointless. He doesn't maneuver well in tight windows and spaces nor is he good playing...

That ball to Garnacho was something. Too bad the kid didn't make much of it, could have been an assist.

You can't always play from the back, especially against a very high pressing team. Part of the appeal in Onana is that he also has a good long ball in him, so against teams that play high it's worth going long at time. But we also have to be extra careful playing from the back with the...

I think he choose to go that way due to the personnel at his disposal. He tried last year to control games and make them less chaotic but due to how our squad is constructed he's forced to lean into being a transition team because that's what suit our best players. When your best players are...

Doesn't matter. Some of those Spurs players shouldn't be able to move the ball around our players like they're highly technical ballers. That was inexcusable. Let them do that against proper minnows, not a team like United who spend big and supposedly press.

Everyone of those Spurs players had their way with him. Dude looks old and his physical decline is quite apparent. The ease with which Spurs players were going past him was egregious.
