Yup.

I was hoping that after Ole we wouldn't have to listen to such tripe ever again. But, here we are...
I remember back then people saying that Ole got special treatment because he was a legend etc. Its been pretty much the same shit with all of our managers.

You could stick a chimpanzee in the managers seat, and you'd quickly find our fanbase suckling on its scrotum.

Hopeless. No excuses. We don’t know how to play football matches with him

Aye, it's endemic and really fecking weird. I genuinely wonder do other fanbases carry on this way about their managers.

He is going to screw up Hojlund, Garnacho and Mainoo with all the sprints and poor physical prep. Imperative that he leaves now just for that.

Time to go for him. End is near. There le no hope, he is dreadful and failed miserably. These childish tactics this season are horrendous

And more and more it's clear that he's at fault for our muscle injuries this season.

Look at how gassed we are compared to Liverpool who played on Thursday. Why? Because we play a system that needs 6 players to cover 50-60 yards every transition and they dont.

We are mentally and physically gassed to feck yet again.
I'm so over the whole EtH out thing because it's obvious at this point but, playing devil's advocate, is there a way you could play this system with the right players do you think?

I'm really trying to understand the manager's philosophy here.

2013 Bayern could probably pull it off

With Ole you could at least find some valid emotional justification, however irrational, due to his status as club legend.

What's ETH's connection with the club that has so many people jumping through hoops to defend him?

It's all irrational imo.

Yes - if you have aggressive centrebacks with pace playing a much higher line, and another midfielder along with Mainoo who is a physical monster and has positional discipline, like Rodri. And also replaced Bruno and at least one of Rashford/Garnacho with more physical forwards who can impose themselves, win balls back and terrorise defenders, the Rooney/Tevez mould.

No, no, you bunch of haters are right.
It's surely the manager, not Rashford.

You can. Need technically good midfielders and a beast of defenders who are excellent one on one.

Basically Maguire,Lindelof, McT, Bruno- all are misfit .

He should have adopted a softer transition into this style if he really wanted to adopt it because anyone can see the problem with the physicality (or lack of).

I hope we can nick this but Liverpool should really have put us to the sword.

No idea how you work that out
Are you watching a different game or something? That last kick of the game which a 5 year old would have scored got missed. Is the manager on the pitch missing all these chances?

No, no, it's the easiest job in the world to comment on United.
No matter what happens in a game, it's all because ETH is a fraud!

Still. The players miss the chances not the manager. Players get credit when we win but manager gets criticised when we lose. How does that work?
Are you for real? Our players get slammed when we lose, aswell as the manager

It's one moment in a game Liverpool were dominating since half time.

It's more like it's on Harvey Elliott and Gakpo for messing up a 5 on 2 to make it three one

Anyway watch the game
