    ten Hag is starting to draw lot more games.

    His overall win percentage is just below 58% at 57.94% after today's draw, which was the 16th of his United reign.

    There was a time when his defenders pointed to him as having the best win percentage in United history. Well, SAF is back on top after the last few draws and defeats. Another draw/loss or two and he'll drop below Mourinho who had a win rate of 58.33% after 144 games in charge. ten Hag has already lost more games than him after 104 games in charge. 107th game today.

    The longer ten Hag has been in charge, the worse it has gotten. 14 months of poor form. If anything, the Ronaldo saga gave him something to get the fan son side while also unifying the squad (show they could get results without Ronaldo). We had a sort of new manager bounce between late August to late January. It's been downhill ever since the3-2 loss at Arsenal where they battered us, but it's not reflected in the scoreline.

    We need to move on from ten Hag this summer. And I don't mind if 7-8 players follow him out the door. Lots of the players who need to leave are ones he signed or players he was happy to continue working with (hence the new contracts). We're talking about AWB, Evans (did well tbf), Lindelöf, Amrabat (don't sign obviously) Casemiro, Hannibal, Eriksen and Antony. I didn't put Rashford in there, as he's currently unsellable on his current salary while playing this badly.

    Greenwood and Martial are others who should leave, but they're not ten Hag's mess.

    There's more delusion from Ten Hag...

    "It's not an embarrassment it is a huge achievement. "
    Apart from Liverpool, we had it very easy.

    Wigan - mid table League One club
    Newport - bottom half League Two club
    Forest - 1 point away from relegation
    Liverpool - tough opponent, but got the vital home draw
    Coventry - 8th place Championship club

    Yet we still managed to almost feck it up and were saved by the tightest of VAR calls.

    Guess so. Mid 90s . So we're two-thirds of the way to the ''big'' Manchester United.
    SAF barely gave a feck about The FA Cup post 2000. Like how Pep hasn't really either. It's a bonus while competing for the big two prizes.

    Liverpool and City (x2) are probably the only fixtures that he's had in two years of domestic cups that we weren't the favorites in. So far, he's 1W 1L in those. Let's see what happens in the tiebreaker.

    I can‘t take you serious because there is zero perspective in your post.

    Second FA cup final in a row: go MU

    Still can't understand why Chelsea didn't get a penalty against the Bitters and Coventry did for an indentical penalty shout. VAR guy must have gone for a dump when that happened or just got the message from above that 'It's City' and did feck all.

    What made it even worse was that Chelsea didn't even get a corner when it deflected off the lower part of Grealish's forearm. The referee gave a goal kick!

    It’s a second tier team coming from 0-3 against one of the giants of world football (in name anyway). It’s one of those occasions where you can forgive the media for favouring the underdog.
    Every time Utd are on Itv or BBC.. its the same , you could hear J Jenas in a game last season giving a sigh when utd scored .. question did you watch the build up to the game?.. 2.30 to 3.15 it was all about Coventry.. they talked to ETH then it was advert then teams out ready for KO..

    This is downright sobering to read. My God, not even with Ole were we this shite. I'm honestly prepared to take him back over this dutch fraud at the going rate.

    That goal wasnt offside was it.
    Looked miles off.

    Dixon said it was onside right after the replay and I was thinking there must have been another player I'd missed or something, it looked so obvious, Dixon was so desperate for us to lose though, even said they should have let it go after the VAR call!
