I agree on the tough love. He shouldn’t be making match day squads and told to find a club in January or play in reserves.
Pretty hard to find a club when you've barely played for 2 years. The players keep being blamed, but the club has to protect their value by actually playing them and getting performancs out of them to attract buyers. The likes of Maguire, Van de Beek, Martial and Sancho get a lot of stick, but when this kind of thing is happening repeatedly to our big money signings then it's clearly on the club more than the players.
It's not solely down to recruiting the wrong players, but how we utilise our squad. We constantly overplay our best players and fail to utilise our whole squad which leads to our fringe players' value depreciating significantly. Hopefully this is something Ten Hag has realised and can address over the next few years.
