I know we are riddled with injuries but playing Rashford in this team when he clearly can't give a toss will cost him his job.
We aren’t even riddled by injuries. We have like 4 or 5 players out.

Simply had to beat Fulham if we're aiming for top 4 which was looking more realistic.

Regardless of the manager the squad needs a massive clear out and it will need a lot of guts to do what must be done, including getting rid of supposed top players.

I’m far from ETH’s biggest fan, but he showed incredible patience with that reporter. His initial question was fine (though incredibly long-winded seeing as he was basically asking why midfield was prioritised over signing another striker, but taking forever to do so). But his follow up questions were incredibly arrogant. In fact, they weren’t even questions, just him stating his opinions as if they were facts.

He’s annoyed the hell out of me and I’m not even a United fan.
The follow ups were all legit questions but the way he presented them was a too argumentative imo.

For instance, there's a legit criticism of ETH's transfers over two seasons, most of which have yielded the square root of feck all for us. He deserves to be questioned and critized for them, although accosting him a presser probably wasn't the best way to go about it. His final judgement will be by SJR at season's end.

We’re no better than we were under Ole, it would be idiotic to persist with him beyond this season, nothing will change if he stays it is same performance week in week out.

Even with a fully fit squad we have never looked special under him. There is nothing to cling on to, he is shite and we need to be looking at other managers.

That's what you get when you remember to play last 10 minutes.
And keeping Rashford whole game, fckin hate that guy.

One of these seasons it would be nice if we could pick up a couple of points without relying on one individual player suddenly sparking into the form of his life and carrying the entire team

Standard Ten Hag performance. We just lacked the good luck to fluke the win this week. Better luck next time

This has run it's course. Whatever he's trying it's not working. And his subs are actually making us worse more often than improving the situation. The world can see that with our squad we'd be better off playing deep and compact and breaking at pace. Instead Ten Hag has us stretched out. Its crazy. We play poor football. We only look half decent when we're desperate and whatever plan we started with goes out of the window. We've seen enough to know we're going nowhere under Ten Hag.

No-one should be surprised. Everyone who saw our recent wins could see it was not sustainable. We haven’t improved much if at all.

I don't see what his end game is in terms of style of play and how it can be effective at this level.

His management and set up of midfield is utterly inane.

He'll be gone in the summer. No real alternatives at the moment to go and get at the moment.

Club is in a tragic state.

Do we have a single player that we want to keep for at least 2 more season, that doesn't have concerns about quality, experience, injuries or attitude? The whole we have dug for ourselves is absolutely massive. If we fired Ten Hag, I wouldn't envy his replacement.

Sack him before he leaves the ground this evening. Blokes just not good enough.

A result that has been so obviously coming for weeks. Eventually you stop getting lucky.

I'll wait to be told we were actually good by the usual clowns.

The football this season has been nothing short of a disgrace.

Basically everything he did was wrong on this game.

Absolutely at fault for our bad performance... and I am on 'ETH stay' group.

I'm sick of his shit. Horrible performances week in week out. No run of form yields good performances either. Everyone outplays us, regardless of their position.

I’m fed up of playing like a relegation team who can only counter. I don’t think I can take it anymore.

We know this is how ETH is going to play all the time, he said so in his interview when asked if we can play like his Ajax team.

ETH needs to go at the end of the season and the manager needs to be one who can get us playing ball dominating possession style play.

Bruno and Rashford and any other player not suitable to the style should be sold. This sit deep transition shit I cannot cope with anymore.

Can't set up a midfield can he? What a fraud of a manager but by the looks of it, he won't be around next season so it's a dead season now

I've defended him for a long time but now it's time for him to go.

Disgraceful going back to the same tactics that were losing us games at the start of the season and he's happily overseen us having a weak squad depth - letting Reguilon go and not calling back Williams or keeping Fernandez...now we've got Lindelof at LB.

Get Jose in until the end of the season or someone with a bit of nous and bottle

He needs moving on, so do a large part of the squad unfortunately.
