He did not. We leaked about 20 goals against Liv, City And Arsenal. Thats not solid at all.Ten Hag made us defensively solid last season, right?

We kept the most clean sheets in the league pal.He did not. We leaked about 20 goals against Liv, City And Arsenal. Thats not solid at all.
Clean sheets are meaningles If you get destroyed every other game. And that trend countinued in second season. His luck just balanced out.We kept the most clean sheets in the league pal.
It is so obvious that we are in downhill spiral. I am dreading what would happen if he get another season. Probably finish in the bottom half of the table. Idk what people sees in EtHThe boom bust cycle continues and will peak again just before the arsenal game
Actually, I’m sensing resignation. There are some attempts to defend him, but it’s pretty halfhearted at this point.The boom bust cycle continues and will peak again just before the arsenal game
We conceded less goals in ETH's first season than the previous two seasons.Clean sheets are meaningles If you get destroyed every other game. And that trend countinued in second season. His luck just balanced out.

I think the return of Ronaldo scuppered the season for us, and I remember the media talking to Ole at the start of that pre season and he was hoping for several new signings. He didn't mention who, but I'm pretty sure that many of the signings made were not Ole's first choices, which may have been a stipulation of him signing a permanent contract, that he didn't have full control of players coming in, but obviously I don't know that, but prior to that season, United were playing some nice, enjoyable attacking football, but that season the wheels fell off, and finished up playing some dire stuff.We are all fans at the end of the day. I’ll always respect Ole and thank him for coming into the club when there was a lot of poison. He wasn’t good enough in the end, but for me, those were the best years post SAF. No, we weren’t playing like Barca or Bayern but there was a lot of positivity. Of course, his last season was awful, but I think the job just got too big for him.
I think many of us — I’m guilty of it too — get into seeing things as black and white, especially over the internet. Really things are more nuanced, more shades of gray.
We conceded the same amount of goals last season as Moyes’s season at Utd. So I wouldn’t say we were particularly good defensively. That’s the 6th best defensive record in the last 10 years post-SAF.We conceded less goals in ETH's first season than the previous two seasons.
Until he stopped copying previous managers work and started putting his own mark on things.We conceded less goals in ETH's first season than the previous two seasons.

This is why I don't understand people saying there are no good candidates so let's give him until October or whatever. If there are no "good" candidates now, who are we going to hire mid season then? Apparently people don't want interims, they don't want managers who have been sacked previously. Who is left then who is unavailable now.If they fail to find an adequate replacement now, does that landscape change next season? If anything, it's even worse because any potential manager that has the backing of being 'credible' by consensus will only be available due to being sacked. INEOS can easily snooker themselves at the end of the season.
There's a reason he hasn't managed a club since 2018. And that was Zenit. His last big club was Inter 8 years ago. No thanks. International football is miles behind club football and there's a reason that the best managers in the sport are all managing clubs instead of nations. Nagelsmann is the only exception currently. Previously it was still only Enrique and Flick.Propah Brexit. The man schooled Southgate with a bunch of low-quality players, has actually won the PL and has an idea how to implement a style.
Miles above the current fraud and the waistcoat fraud.
He won't be my go-to guy but this is just a foolish position.

I believe a certain David De Gea was in goal last season, interesting that we kept most clean sheets.We kept the most clean sheets in the league pal.
Onana is statistically one of the best goalkeepers in the league. The main difference is that we had a settled back line.I believe a certain David De Gea was in goal last season, interesting that we kept most clean sheets.
He has not been let down by his players who did not try and threw him under the bus, and by his management who could not get him all the players he wanted and abused by the press on unprecedented levels like ETH has been though.Nice to see Poch at least acting like a failed manager with a spine and ability to reflect. None of the bullish charade, excuses, gaslighting and desperately lieing about his achievements this season to cling onto his job and ego.
It's 'we'll talk in the summer and either agree to carry on or we wont, and if we split, that's fine'
No he isn't,he just has a high save percentage because he faces a lot of shots.Onana is statistically one of the best goalkeepers in the league. The main difference is that we had a settled back line.
This and one of the main points of hiring top people above the manager is precisely that they would be able to identify a non-obvious candidate for manager who would be able to step up to a new level/outperform expectations.This is why I don't understand people saying there are no good candidates so let's give him until October or whatever. If there are no "good" candidates now, who are we going to hire mid season then? Apparently people don't want interims, they don't want managers who have been sacked previously.

INEOS will never get an easier chance to get rid of a manager. I will be shocked if they don't.
He’s got a high save percentage because he makes lots of saves mate. What else would you like him to do? Not make as many?No he isn't,he just has a high save percentage because he faces a lot of shots.
Could say the same for any of the relegation clubs. Luton and Sheffield's keepers don't get half as much praise. How does it make him one of the best goalkeepers in the league?He’s got a high save percentage because he makes lots of saves mate. What else would you like him to do? Not make as many?
Very true. I actually cried a little when I woke up this morning just thinking about how awful ETH's last few weeks must have been for him. How cornered and alone he must feel without a warm comforting structure around him, while players who have a long track record of throwing United managers under the bus, like Casemiro and Onana, keep sticking the knife in.He has not been let down by his players who did not try and threw him under the bus, and by his management who could not get him all the players he wanted and abused by the press on unprecedented levels like ETH has been though.
ETH has been one of the most mistreated managers in history of football, by players, press, fans and club management.
He said statistically, didn't he?How does it make him one of the best goalkeepers in the league?
Because he prevents goals more than anyone.Could say the same for any of the relegation clubs. Luton and Sheffield's keepers don't get half as much praise. How does it make him one of the best goalkeepers in the league?

He's actually been pretty good in the league and prevented many goals. He's being bombarded with insane (unprecedented, hehe) amount of shots though.
I've not seen this number anywhere else. Everyone else uses PSxG to rate goalkeepers and he is comfortably average. Martinez and Pickford have been the best goalkeepers in the league this season, followed by Areola, Sa, and the Burnley keeper.
It's worth noting that he and Vicario were near the top in March, but the last month and a half really messed up both their numbers.He's actually been pretty good in the league and prevented many goals. He's being bombarded with insane (unprecedented, hehe) amount of shots though.
That is using PSxG. They rank him in the 94th percentile.I've not seen this number anywhere else. Everyone else uses PSxG to rate goalkeepers and he is comfortably average.

You need to separate your dislike for the manager from the performance of the players he brought. Onana has been very good, all things considered.Could say the same for any of the relegation clubs. Luton and Sheffield's keepers don't get half as much praise. How does it make him one of the best goalkeepers in the league?
Yeah there is a distinct possibility of thisI would agree entirely with your comments and would add that I am not even sure ETH himself wants to stay on.
In fact its even possible he will be needed to stay on because the 'sh** shifting' at OT has not been done yet, and Sir Jim and the new team haven't really started to move ..yet, and will still need a scapegoat to fire somewhere down the line.
If a 'fluke' win over City in the FA Cup occurs (not entirely out of the question given the run of luck we've had in the competition this year) I think Erik will stay and the real slog begins next season.
We are way down the 'road to hell paved with good intentions' and don't see any light in the distance.
Very bullish. As expected, he's probably been briefed of the new contract.Tweet

United are 6th in Shots on Target Against, but Onana's Post-Shot xG minus Goals Allowed is positive (+1.8). Only West Ham have faced more Shots on Target and have a more positive Post-Shot xG. And Areola has been one of their best players, if not in fact the best. Luck plays apart in that, but it's not everything.
Is Onana top class? No. Are there situations where he could have and should have done better? Yes. And every keeper is prone to mistakes, just like Neuer kept Bayern in the game, then buried them in an instant. But when you are getting blasted week after week, you are going to let goals in. That's just statistics. You also have to remember that it was assumed he was being brought because the team was going to make the switch away from Oleball and towards a more controlled style of play - something to cater to his strengths. Needless to say, this has not happened. The opposite, in fact.
He is getting a new traveling bag, not a new contract. What?Very bullish. As expected, he's probably been briefed of the new contract.
If this were Salford City, he would've been sacked in December. Neville is a hypocrite.Reminds me of the Sunday Supplement where every journalist’s opinion about who was a good player seemed to be almost entirely based on who had allowed themselves to be interviewed the previous week. Bonus points for picking the journo from the train station and being polite to staff in front of them.Tweet
