Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

[DJ_21]

So so bad! Playing against a manager that’s been at spurs for halve a season and has them playing a decent way. No excuse!!

 

[Fooza]

He's regressed us, worst squad, no style of play. What's the point in keeping him? I'm tired of the injuries excuse.

It'll take another 3-5 years to get this team challenging when it should be a year, a new manager needs to replace most the team including most of EtH's signings.

 

[Shark]

"A stabilising draw" on Sky Sports, it's all good lads.

 

[PoTMS]

Get rid of this cnut. Seriously. He's making me hate watching us. I'm tired of teams making us look like we're Port Vale.

 

[mu4c_20le]

Still undefeated this year

 

[TsuWave]

Let my people go!!

 

[Desert Eagle]

21 games played and our gd is -5. That's a sackable offense right there

 

[FujiVice]

Set up to counter attack a Spurs side at home and still drew. What the feck.

 

[Godfather]

Boring shit on a stick football

"A stabilising draw" on Sky Sports, it's all good lads.

What is that spin!

 

[acnumber9]

Why’s he still here?

 

[SB16]

Should be tried at the ICJ for crimes against defensive structure.

 

[PoTMS]

If Ratcliffe needs more games to see this guy isn't gonna cut it, he's just as clueless as the Glazers.

 

[Telsim]

Can someone explain how does Ange have Spurs pressing more effectively than us in a couple of months? I don't understand.

 

[Godfather]

A Spurs team missing their best players

 

[rajds89]

Second best at home once again. Trust the process though right? He needs to go, you can’t convince me otherwise.

 

[Robbie Boy]

We're just drifting towards nowhere but I reckon he survives until the end of the season.

 

[Atheist]

35% possession at home. This guy is an embarrassment to the club but no doubt his cult will argue that was a wonderful performance.

Give him some time man!! Also we have 2 or 3 injuries don't forget that. Give him another 5 years and let's wait until each and everyone of our squad is fully fit. Just then we can really judge him

 

[Shane88]

Another cutback to a midfielder running from deep to score. He has had plenty of time to fix this and he simply can't.

The main issue I have with Ten Hag is that, fundamentally, we are no different than we were under Mourinho. We're at our best when we play on the counter or have room in behind. The team is no better at creating opportunities than it has been at any time since around 2016. At times Ten Hag's fingerprints can be seen in how we play. However, after 18 months you'd expect us to look better. I accept there are mitigating factors: The club has retained a lot of players who simply cannot play possession football. And yet...

 

[RORY65]

The season is a write off so the club might as well prioritise making the correct appointments above the manager so that they can be part of the decision-making team when it comes to picking a new manager which surely will be at the end of the season. The idea that a new structure will make a team with no midfield functional and will mask the fact that there's no clear evidence of coaching (we're dreadful at even basics that can be worked on like set plays) in the long run though is delusional.

 

[Judas]

Slow, sluggish, careless, and most of all boring. we’re simply not worth watching.

 

[frostbite]

My Antony will always play.

 

[Ole'sgunnarwin]

Today was a great example at highlighting the difference in coaching quality. Spurs have 6 key players out due to internationals, the new players step in seamlessly and understand the system. With us: there is no system.

The problem with the "give Erik more time" concept, is what are we giving him more time for? Examples like Arteta do not work, because he was clearly trying to implement a style of play that would take time, and it was simply the results which hadn't come in those first two seasons.

With us, the results are terrible, and there is no evidence of what we are trying to build. It's not quite Ole ball as we still at least try to play out of the back now, but the level of control Spurs had was really dispiriting. And Ange has done this almost instantly.

Completely agree

 

[Castia]

There’s nothing creative on the ball, we rarely play 4-5 passes it’s always pick it up deep and try the killer pass. The amount of times we just give away the ball must be the highest in the league

 

[Ceteris]

The look of content on his face pisses me the hell off.

2 points dropped and he doesn't give a toss

 

[bosnian_red]

He does a shit job at coaching us in a weekly basis. The system that we play is shit, set pieces at both ends are relegation standard and that is 100% just a coaching thing, and he just is not able to coach us better than other coaches in the premier league. That's all there is to it.

 

[Judas]

Life’s too short to watch us once again sleep walking through another pathetically average season.

 

[Malone_Post]

He’s absolutely clueless. We were a comfortably better team under Ole.

Anyone still supporting this is either an idiot, or just in complete denial.

 

[E-mal]

He has set us back more years

 

[DavidDeSchmikes]

Ange is getting more out of his Spurs team, even when they're hit with injuries

 

[ohhrooney]

I am struggling to understand why and how people still have hope in Ten Hag? Ange has more of an identity with key players missing while we are busy trying to find another excuse to keep a miserable mid table manager who is as lucky as Antony to be associated with Manutd.

 

[CallyRed]

Cue the "we had chances, we should have scored more" line

 

[Sarni]

Can someone explain how does Ange have Spurs pressing more effectively than us in a couple of months? I don't understand.

We have unprecedented, worst ever injury crisis while they do not have any issues with absentees.

 

[Mr Pigeon]

After the first half I foolishly thought today was going to be different. We're lucky to even get a point today at home against Tottenham "lads, it's Tottenham" Hotspur.

We're regularly conceding after scoring or at the start of a half. Aside from the mentality issues with that, why are we always tactically setting up in the same gung ho fashion during these moments instead of trying to stay compact for a while to try and control the pace of the game?!

 

[Insanity]

A few things we were reminded of again today:

- You don't need a billion dollars before you can implement your style of play.
- You don't need 5 years and a new squad of 25 players before you can mold a team in your vision.
- A few Injuries are a poor excuse for your team not being able to play your style of football.
- We have a total chancer incharge of our football team.

 

[Marwood]

My Antony will always play.

Surely Antony coming on for a few mins after being dropped is the last thing to complain about today.

Us only having one play i.e. ball over the top is more worrying.

 

[r0663664]

Erik is just using injuries as excuses to buy time for his eventual dismissal. This team can't score, can't defend, poor is defending set pieces, poor in scoring from set pieces, a frustrating captain, a tunnel vision left winger, a butter fingers goalkeeper. I really hope to see him sack as soon possible. I really don't know what him brings to United, we are a laughing stock. 400 million spend and we still need more. What a joke! This man deserve to be sack months ago.

 

[GazTheLegend]

35% possession at home. This guy is an embarrassment to the club but no doubt his cult will argue that was a wonderful performance.

Yeah it's not good is it. I like Ten Hag but it's hard to excuse us getting battered at OT on the regular after all that spending. Our players just look done with it all.
