    If Ten Hag has any iota of man management skill in his body, he sends a message at half time. 5 subs.

    Heaton for De Gea, Varane for Maguire, Malacia for Shaw, Garner for Fred, Garnacho for Rashford.

    Then on Monday morning he walks up to the executive office and gives them an ultimatum. Either they back him with a real team or he walks. He's too young and promising to have his career killed by overpaid clowns.

    I haven't, watched a single occurence of a pass where the opponent was breathing down a player's neck. I didn't say Eriksen was flawless either.
    Just that DDG is a cnut for exposing him like that
    How are we meant to beat the press if we don't play it into players like that? Sit down and watch City and you'll know what I mean. Are we City, no, but that is where ten Hag wants to go, and in order to improve, we will need to keep doing it.

    Sancho because he had a shit 1st season and we hope he gets better?
    Martinez because he is new..
    Ronaldo because??? memories?

    They are all shit..

    Football hasnt changed that much.. The basics remain the same.
    No team can succeed without a strong spine.. We need a spine.. a commanding GK.. commanding CBs, midfielders and 1 forward.. and need some leadership..

    We arent getting anywhere till we fix our spine.

    Right now, we need a GK that can inspire some confidence.. we need 2 midfielders who are competent and dont shit themselves every 20 minutes...
    I said I'd keep them. Not that they're great/not shit. I do appreciate you're frustrated, as I am.

    Sancho is technically gifted and with the right set-up, he can be useful. Ronaldo has a goal in him, not that I think he should be a starter. And yes, Martinez because he's new.

    This is really bitter right now, but I’m going to absorb this game in all its awful glory so I can truly enjoy what it’s like when we’re back on top one day

    As this losing saga unravels, we’ll eventually find out it’s down to a massive dressing room rift.
    My guess is the main two protagonists are Ronaldo vs Maguire.

    Let's look at the goals .

    DDG mistake.
    Setpiece defending.
    DDG mistake.
    Shaw jogging around.

    To be honest, we are gifting them chance after chance. It will get better . Be patient !

    From open heart surgery to terminal stage 4 cancer. We need miracle to survive
    the thing i like best is that we’re not going out with any dignity. we’re shitting all over the floor and pissing ourselves every time we cough.

    There’s no great answer for the second half. I’m tempted to say send in the kids, but we all know that would invite disaster.

    If only ETH had listened to me and put Donny in place of Bruno. All would have been well. Promise.
    I don't know why that cnut gets played. He's so shit. Been shit for over year and a half

    He's been gone a fortnight shy of nine months and two transfer windows, what are the two proper managers who we replaced him with waiting for?
    Ignore the 1st, come on. He was a caretaker who had no say on transfers. Which is a shame given he knew this lot were shite.

    Atleast we did well in pre-season.
    I swear those players lead Erik on. No way they looked this pathetic in training. Fooled the hell out of Ten Hag so they wouldn't go on the transfer list .

    Crazy how so many people still don't realize that Ronaldo, De Gea and Fred are probably our 3 most detrimental players :lol:
    Ronaldo isn't leading any press up front. Sancho has been awful and DeGea has cost us this game to start with by setting the tone with a bad mistake forcing us to needlessly claw from behind which doesn't looks like it'll happen with thing going from worst to awfully terrible.

    The worrying thing is that there's no fire, anger or passion on the field. Why aren't these guys screaming at each other?

    It's just abject acceptance ffs.
    Yep. No one showing any sort of emotion to being 4-0 down. United teams of old you'd have Rio going apeshite or Rooney kicking someone. Just someone showing displeasure at the situation.

    Rashford tries getting a shot on target, hits the goalkeeper and turns around with trodding on with his head down. No visible disgust that he couldn't make a better chance of it.

    I don’t mind losing games, shite happens. But seeing these players give in like that is unacceptable. Apart from ronaldo, i do not think anyone cares. They are walking up and down the pitch, no energy, no aggression, no spirit. Next liverpool is it? God help us
    where has Ronaldo shown he cares ? He has done no better than any other player

    Need to do a Newcastle and come back from 4 goals like they did against arsenal. Know it’s impossible with our squad.

    This is exactly the point. A better club realises their issues on the pitch and shifts to find players better suited to the manager. United just thinks a our players are good players regardless of the system and that’s why we have failed for so long. We are trying to play a system with 11 players not suited for it.

    Was always going to be a disaster. Ten Hag will be sacked and the next manager will be expected to work miracles with the same shite group of players.
    If Ten Hag is sacked, I hope the match going fans turn up the heat big time. It's impossible to be calm after that performance. We are shite, but I never envisioned us to be this poor.

    Nothing will change and we will probably be bottom half this season if no more really quality players are signed. Murtough and Arnold should be sacked based on this start. Our transfer season is probably only better than Leicester, that's after we finished 6th last year.

    Don't be silly. You're never going down. At some point EtH will correct the course, he's just learning his PL trade the hard way. Even with this lot, there's no way you won't be in the top 10 at worst.
    He can't correct the course with this squad and we ain't buying anyone decent.

    Apart from 3 of the defenders, a whole team of players who can’t win a ball, tackle, win one-on-ones, press properly or effectively, ……who get outmuscled or bullied off the ball and out of possession with such ease.

    They better hadn't start moaning about him with their track record. It won't wash with fans this time.
