Carragher eviscerating the tactics as expected
I'd rather he was managing us next season than ETH. No joke.

Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

Make it stop.
if he survives the week I’ll be astounded
Dalot can play left back.
AWB can’t. Playing him there, over and over again when it never works is fecking insanity.
Don’t agree that Dalot is shit either. He’s 10x the player AWB will ever be.
The problem is that after this season, no European football next season, recruitment just got a whole lot harder. You'd be mad to join us as an upcoming player this summer.
I feel like this point isn't valid any more. Especially when the majority of these jokers are his players.
I really don't get the vibe that they've downed tools. They just look clueless out there because they're not getting any help or guidance from the man in charge.
Not gonna give the players a free pass but this isn't the same as we've seen before.
I disagree though. Ineos are in control of the football operation, so I'm sure it has always been extremely easy for them to pull the trigger, even with verbal agreements from everyone who will eventually be officially in post here. Do you think the Glazers would disagree with him? I think if not for the sale, they'd have sacked him long ago themselves.
Scenes when he's winning the league over there while this pathetic bunch of players are sabotaging the next manager in 2 years time again.
They should follow him*
I've been so patient with ETH. But there's no excuse for this...
Yeah, he’s right. We’ve assembled a poor squad (which ETH should also take blame), and our manager is failing miserably in setting us up tactically - not surprisingly it leads to disaster.
Wait, you mean there was tactics?
Carragher has been always spot on for United managers. I remember him destroying Moyes ten years ago.
Our Gary on the other hand has always been like the most devoted Caf cultists.
I agree we do have some very good players, but we have some who lack talent, attitude or both. We could undoubtedly play much better, but I think the team has become dysfunctional. I didn’t mean to imply by the term ‘overhaul’ that we need to get rid of everyone. The manager has undoubtedly failed to build a team. He is too inflexible to manage this group of players.
He won't make it to the end of the season over there
Talk is cheap. This guy talks a lot and he's all too ready to speak at the end of games and give excuses, etc. We want to see a real change on the pitch and it's just not happening. The structure and organisation of the team today was dogshite. We were recklessness with the way we defended and how Casemiro kept diving/lunging in on everything and everyone. We created nothing. We produced nothing that would get the fans excited or would give our club even a little bit of credit. It was one of the worst performances of the season and certainly in the lifetime for many of our fans.
He's had enough opportunities to turn it around. He's had his time and I really can't wait to start again. We need to get going again. We've gone backwards for far too long.

Not at all. It’s an incredibly straightforward position to be in.
It’s abundantly clear that if they don’t sack him they’ll be losing precious credit with the fans. And it’s very hard to imagine literally any interim manager setting the team up worse than Ten Hag does every week. So put in an interim to out the end of the season whilst they figure out a replacement.
I pray hard to see him sack, I can contribute $100 if United needs money to make this happen. Because of ETH, I hate to watch United games. I would curse and swear at the players. My mood is seriously affected with this fraud. Please do me a favour and sack him when he come to work tomorrow.
I think Gary is secretly pining for a board role at United. The whole Salford thing would make sense then also.
"Look at our backline..."
You know what, if I'm a defender or sub defender in that squad tonight I'm swinging for him after hearing that. What a twat.
Imagine being Amass sat there listening to that... "listen this back line is shit and I'm not even going to bother giving you a shot even though you are the only one who plays in a position we have no fit players in."
Why would anyone want to play for him after hearing him say that, he needs to be gone yesterday.
And this was supposed to be our easiest remaining game. 
The worst thing about the season is as bad as the results have been, and they have truly been horrible, they have still been miles better than our performances. Currently we're 15th in the table on xPTS. 15th. It doesn't really matter how many injuries we've had, that's just insanely bad not matter what.
Depends how the project is sold. If we have a good background team in place, who know their football, then we can sell a project. We need to move well away from the "glamour" signings like Casemiro etc. and move onto young hungry players. There's certainly some allure to being part of potentially making the club good again under a new regime. So much depends on INEOS though, and just what their project will look like.
Yup, Gary Neville is Mr. "I'd never sack a manager (except the ones on my club's payroll, but we don't talk about them)"
Yep, can you imagine being asked to step in due to injuries then he calls you out like that to save his shit lack of system? I'd be 'injured' next week also.
I completely disagree that it isn't relevant, if you sack a manager you need to replace them. I also disagree that Southgate and Potter are better managers, but if you honestly believe that I think we are too far apart to meet in the middle.
Carraghers probably right there, is there another manager in the league that every week with no playing style and no real game plan while refusing to change whatever tactics he does have in place while conceeding 20-30 shots in almost every game and continuing to do things the weve seen over and over again dont work like playing AWB at lect back and the stupid long balls that hardly ever go anywhere near any of our players?
Gary is a hypocrite on multiple levels. He'll sack salford managers but demand United give failures and losers more time.
It’s crazy how he keeps bringing up that we have only lost 4 games all year when we’ve barely won a game.
We might get confirmation that aliens exist and that an active United manager posts on this forum all in the same year.
Only the former is left after this.
How? Pretty straightforward decision to make
because he’s a dogturd manager who had a new manager bounce that ended 14 months ago and has had 3 very generous domestic cup draws in the years he’s been here
I said something similar a while ago. Every time he talks about United it seems like he's auditioning for a role at the club.
Mate, this is Ten Hag we're talking about. Does is really surprise you?
He could well win it with Bayern the same Kovac did it. But Kovac was not a good manager and he showed that with Monaco and Wolfsburg.
Personally, I don't think the media backlash has been as bad as I expected.
Maybe it will come in the morning but I thought it would feel worse.

What does that actually mean though? It means they were granted to appoint their people in the footballing executive positions, no? If those people only start to work in June or July, it is not actually easy to pull the trigger. The club leadership is in a transition, and INEOS are not sole owners. Ratcliffe can't just call in to sack a manager, can he? Or anyway he won't because that is not the way to run a football club. The way to do it is to appoint people to make the decisions. And AGAIN, these people are not in the job yet. So no, they are not yet in control.
How am I the only one pointing this out? Am I actually completely stupid somehow? But why does every reply only say "but but INEOS are in charge now" instead of adressing the fine print?
And I'm sure we will do that, the issue is why would you join us when other teams also want to sign you, and by all reports we aren't paying daft wages any more. We'll ultimately see what happens but I don't think we're going to just find better players out there waiting to play for United on the cheap so it's important we start getting the most out of what we have first and then we'll find it easier to get good players in the door, with CL football also.
