Who other than LVG? Possession is possession. It can fail as can any other stule depending on the implementation. Pep is as obsessed with it as anyone.
I think Ten Hag is not just Dutch Possesion - considering he has been under Pep too I think he could be a mix of Dutch vs Spanish possesion football.
LVG bored us to death, not because of possession, but because his teams lacked verticality (movement, pressing, incisive passing, timidness). LVG's football was largely thought of as boring prior to United. The opposite of Ten Hag.
Thankyou infact if remember correctly Several Bayern fans actually warned about it and his world cup exploits was highly exaggerated when the actual football was quite dull and uninspiring to say the least .
LVG style of play is completely different to ten hags… he tried implementing a 3 at the back formation for starters with lingard RWB. Ten Hag will be using a formation we’re similar to but he’ll be focusing on movement and passing as well as trying to dominate every game we play.
Surely Ajax wouldnt Allow that. Your already losing a fair few players
You really think we'll qualify for Europe?
Why do people keep talking about how Pogba will play? He's gone in 7 games' time. To be honest after giving an interview saying the season is 'dead' he shouldn't play again this season - why are we relying on a player who is lazy and lackadaisical who now also has nothing to play for other than avoiding injury?
This is the same unimaginative drivel we've had to endure for the last 9 years. "if rubbish player X can become a good player..." "if rubbish player Y can become a good player..." "if we buy obvious player X to plug this hole..."
Honestly, I think 1st/2nd is out of the question for a good few years. I think consecutive Champions League qualifications, an FA Cup or two and good style/performances, with decent wins in the Champions League would be a very good next 2-3 years and would make United look credible again. It would be a big improvement on the last 9 years, wouldn’t it?
Reading that I have some severe doubts about this. Not because he’s not an impressive candidate (the Forrest Gump jibe is meaningless IMO), but his entire approach would seem firmly at odds with the current composition and culture of our squad. That would be a good thing if he is given the time and resources to implement a complete overhaul, but I can’t shake the feeling that he’s been picked as he’s the fans’ favorite. Are the board really prepared for the scale of change required?
No it's not with United resources under Right manager Club is always within three proper transfer windows of Challenging for the titles if they can sign the right players .
this is a wind-up right?
It would be difficult at the beginning but if he is given time, this lot can be replaced. Enough pandering to these overpaid lazy fecks.
Add mata, cavani and possibly Ronaldo to that list.
If every star aligns and City and Liverpool both start messing up then that could be true.
Concerning. Particularly around lack of charisma and media handling. The media here will hound him out soon enough but we also need someone that is going to inspire these players, is he it?
No. 3 worries me, the players will quickly throw him under the bus
Why would anyone tolerate that though? If we all believe Ten Hag is absolutely the right man to lead the club, we can't allow players to sabotage everything and throw him under the bus.
It shouldn't worry you. That applies to at least the likes of Pochettino, Conte, Klopp, Allegri or Guardiola. There is no escape from it for players and it's the easiest way to spot who should jettisoned or ostracized.
McTominay couldn't pass his way out of a paper bag, so I'm not sure he'll be retraining as anything.
Then that will be where Ralf comes in and I bet the board are now well aware who will put the effort in. Get rid of the ones who won't or are too old to and bring in ones that fit. The thing we should have done years ago.
feck the players.

Then they should rightfully be sold.
Agreed, probably not going well with some poster here, the fans at OT need to tell the players the way they have been playing is not acceptable at all by booing them instead of clapping

Some fans are still blaming the manager here on the caf. Granted rangnick is not sweeping everyone off with his brilliant tactics but we aren't dropping points against relegation fodder because the opponent had superior tactics but because the opposition players wanted it more and put in a fecking shift. The vast majority of points we've dropped is because of the players.
