We haven't had a good manager since Fergie retired. The list is made up of who was the least shit. You can take your pick really.
Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

And it happens every single time
If we go back to only sitting deep and waiting for a counter we can just go back to Mou. At least he knew how to set up a team for that. Anti football
What he's said after City scored the first... not sure what he's watching
"Then you are disappointed, we have to accept it and still were had the opportunties to at least get one point, but the win was also possible."

ETH is proving to be shite, utter shite. But make no mistake, Ole was awful too.
The gulf is greater though. 79 points to win the title there.Yes, but only if we consider the Premier League years.
Not even close from an All-Time perspective, unfortunately. We've lost more than 20 league matches quite a few times with a 42 match schedule (including a season where we wound up with a goal differential of minus 62!)
Even in the modern era with a 38 match schedule, we lost 16 league matches in Alex Ferguson's third full season as United manager.
Injuries or not, whether he deserves it or not — I just don’t see INEOS looking at everything and deciding he is the guy to take the team forward when they are looking to reset everything, I don’t see how it gets better in his third season, my guess is they will make a decision by the end of March internally and it won’t be positive for Ten Hag. At this point it’s not even so much about league finish and such, it’s more about if you can see Ten Hag actually providing what INEOS will look for from their coach, I like the guy but I personally don’t see it.
Would like to see them get Nagelsmann.

We've matched the Ole/Ralf season with 12 league losses today
or one away rather. 11 today

I'm assuming this is sarcasm as there were only 10 minutes left when the subs were made.
Yeah, but have they accounted for the fact that Ten Hag has had to deal with some injuries? He can't be expected to set up a side to produce the free-flowing attacking football of a Sheffield United or a Burnley with so few resources available to him. Sitting on the edge of your own box and waiting for the inevitable was the right call.
It will be the international break too then.
Counter attacking with no one running behind or off the shoulder of the defender is novel to be fair.
We still have to play at Chelsea and Liverpool, Arsenal, Newcastle at home.
Keep talking nonsense, buddy! But I know you will forever think Ole is awful no matter what.
Goal difference is in overdraft. In March.
We will lose 15 league games this season.
He was. Doesn't make him good before anyone jumps in. But he was better.
Wanted to give him a chance after his good run in Jan/Feb but its beyond any doubt now hes not up for it.
The worst part is that he has burdened us with several shite players we have to sell with a big loss. Between that and no CL the next manager has an even bigger mountain to climb

Yep, as shite as all our other post-Fergie managers. Couldn't even win a cup despite it being served on a silver platter against a rag-tag Villareal side. Our standards are on the floor if you actually consider what he done as a good job.

There is being outrageously naive and then there is being outrageously negative. ETH appears to have found both options and nothing at all in-between.
As an example Ole set up generally to defend deep and in numbers at the Etihad nothing wrong with that idea in in a tough away game but the huge difference was Ole had a genuine plan of how to get out and hurt City get past there press and break in numbers.
Today's plan was everyone behind the ball and hit it long and hope for the best. Non league standard of coaching that. And that might be doing a disservice to some non league coaches.
Yeah he has no idea how to set us up for it.
That performance alone should get Erik the sack. I don't even care about the defeat as it was to be expected but the way we lost is completely unacceptable. Utter embarassing. And yes, I was preparing to write this post even when we were leading 1-0-
The tactics today were nothing short of cowardly. There was no intent to attack. We just sat back and hoped for the best. Even when we got the ball we just passed it around until we punted the ball back to them.
I can accept many things (and God knows we United fans have during the past decade) but giving up against our rivals before the game has even started, is not worthy of a club of our stature. I don't want to see Erik in the dugout ever again. He has been given plenty of time and ressources but failed in the most basic aspect: implementing a clear style of play. If you can't do that, you don't belong at this club.
And yes, we have a terrible squad with plenty of deadwood, but better managers are able to play WAY better with substantially worse players. The excuses are up. Time to go.

It was still shit, the fact ten Hag set up is worse doesn't make it any better.
Played well though apparently
But yet some get upset at this simple fact.
Yep. If they know who they want and we can afford to do it then then they have to get their man in as soon as possible. We don't want another season starting with ready made excuses that he hasn't got the players he wants in time and hasn't had chance to train the squad.
This is why you doelose against Fulham. Get him gone
I disagree, we didnt actually seem to have any tactics at all today and were only so defensive as City exploited our lack of any tactics or game plan and forced us to be.
Not having a striker isnt an excuse as Ole managed to win there with no striker.
It's progress though, ten hag cultists wouldn't accept he was worse until recently
ETH - “We are progressing”
Completely agree THE WRONG WAY

Barely managed 20% possession. I hate that this is what we've come to. Nearly two years into his stint and we still can't beat a top team without playing like league one cowards. We usually don't even win by playing this way which makes it worse.
I'm sick of us going to the etihad and anfield and playing like cowards. When we were the best team in the world, Liverpool and City still came to Old Trafford to put up a fight. We seem to come out of the team bus waving white flags time and time again.
Please, whoever the next man is, please let him have the balls and talent to have us playing like a big team again.

That can’t be a real quote. What the feck.
Reminds me of Van Gaal's delusion towards the end of his time. At the end of the season he was talking about summer signings like he was going to still be around.
This guy's era is well overdue to come to an end
He should've said "these lot are shit and I can't wait to sell half of them". They clearly seem like a bunch that respond well to public criticism.
Just heard an interview with him on the radio and he was talking like we'd won and seemed happy with the performance. He's deranged. He needs to go now!
