“It’s not acceptable, eh. We need to take responsibility, eh. We want to be consistent, eh.”

Just feck off.
Constantly talks about setting standards and we haven't turned up for a single away game this season, no matter who the opposition is. He's never going to figure out this league.

Suicidal linesups causing problems again. No matter what the injury situation that second half midfield is an utter joke, and we've seen the same thing multiple times this season.

Been saying it since last season but he's extremely naive when it comes to the requirements of this league. His midfield selection and set ups are so bizarre.

To top it all of he has poor talent sporting IQ so constantly buys and picks the wrong players.

There is no saving him here, no matter the result. You don't fix all these issues, especially when they are of his own making and blindness

Who are the players playing for today then?

We know these players well enough. The do NOT play for any manager, they have a canny habit of raising performances when they realise it’s about to get really bad for them such as Villa then turn up days later woth nothing about them.

I said it after the Chelsea win, this team couldn’t give 2 fecks about EtH who looks like he’ll have managed us to 14 losses before New Year.

I somewhat feel for the guy but the signings he has made have done next to feck all to remedy the problems already at the club. It would be easier to get behind him if he had a core you could see we’re doing well surrounded by the dross but he’s just sprinkled more meh on top of the shit sandwich which is our squad.

He’ll go at the end of the season. Mutually.

McTominay needs to be sold in January to protect Ten Hag from his own idiocy. What did he think was going to happen with that substitution? Something different from everything that has happened with McTominay in midfield this season?

He just doesn't understand McTominay is a total liability in midfield, does he?

Insanely stubborn.

How many goals have we conceded this season from a cut back to a runner arriving late into the box? We're repeating the same mistakes with zero improvement.

The smug replies after the Villa win were unreal. It was a great comeback and a good result, of course, but there was zero indication that we were actually going to improve our performances and that we wouldn't just immediately revert to the way we've been playing for at least 10 months now.
Not a serious fanbase, unfortunately.

We've watched dogshite football for months and it's never the managers fault.
Unsustainable come back from two down and it's "I've always believed!! Stick with him"

Just not a serious group of people.

Ten Hag football only works when the opposition gives us an acre of room to run into. See Villa at home, Galatasary games, Spurs last year.

Play against a well organized team and we are completely nullified.

Not considering I would have used a front three of (left to right) Rashford-McT/Amad-Garnacho with Antony on the bench...

What is the proper tactical response if Mainoo had a knock and had to go off at halftime?

Would it be pushing AWB into a DM role where he can sort of play like a Makelele role (nowhere near to that class though), put Dalot on the right, and toss Reguilon at LB?

Would it be going to a 3-5-2 with Amad up top and pushing Dalot into a Lahm midfield style role alongside Eriksen? Possibly taking off Antony for whomever?

One thing worked v Villa. Garnacho on the right. So of course Ten Hag switches him to the left.

We just aren’t coached at all. And if we are, it’s done in a hideous fashion. How much longer will the INEOS bedding in take before he’s gone?

Probably recency bias, but I think he tracks only slightly ahead of Ragnick of all our managers since Ferguson.

This is soul destroying

Not just that. His subs are shocking. He doesn't know what the team or game needs.

He has his subs pre planned. It's always the same with no system change at all. He doesn't react to games, just sits on his ass watches the game looking clueless.

His love for Mctominay is beyond bizarre

Whoever won the game
He wanted to show iron discipline and that no one is bigger than the club, but he made key players smaller in the process. Unable to get the best out of our best players

Rangnick’s a weird one. It was shite, he was actively calling players out in the press but at the same it was pretty much known the players were basically just against him. It was always an interim appointment too.

First tier: Jose / Ole
Mid tier: LVG
Bottom: Ten Hag / Moyes / Rangnick
