I want to see his post match presser just out of morbid curiosity
I don’t agree this is the worst. This is one of so many which are so bad and become normal.Felt like he knows it’s coming to an end tonight. Players just weren’t arsed and there was no gameplan (as per), or the players had no interest in carrying it out, if there was one. All the noise over the international break has got to him and the players, I think. They know he hasn’t done enough. That’s also top 4/5 done now, you’d say, so there is a very good chance this is the last 8 weeks for ETH. That performance, like most this season, was woeful. In fact, that was our worst performance of the season and that’s saying something.
I noticed towards the end that he didn't seem to look well, had massive black circles under his eyes.On a different note, I'm concerned by the way hes looking these days. He was twitching like a madman on the touchline and looked ill.
It was indeed the nail in the coffin for me. However not simply for being just a quote, but a quote confirming what I was afraid of - that the football we are seeing is actually the football he wants us to play.I feel like him saying his United team aren’t going to play like his Ajax team was an ill-advised thing to say and he lost a lot of fans with it. A lot of the reason why we wanted you was for how that Ajax team played.
Every manager post-Ferguson seems to have some fecking quote that none of the fans want to hear from the manager and it ends up putting nails in their coffins.
I'm going to assume;I want to see his post match presser just out of morbid curiosity
True although we’d probably be out of the CL pretty quickly even if we got in. I just hope we remain out of the Europa too. This team needs a domestic focus first to get their tactics and strategy right. A new manager should be on the list too.Ok, that's the very slim chance of top 5 almost gone. It's the hope that kills you
I think this period was to be his audition for the job. I think he's already blown it and they'll be going full speed ahead looking at replacements.Enough about Ten Hag. We know his level. All eyes should be on Sir Jim and Ineos now. If this
guy is still at the club next season, it will tell me all I need to know about them.
I am still against Southgate as the replacement but if that is what it comes down to then it has to be done. Anybody with one functioning braincell of footballing knowledge would do better than this clown has done with £400m to spend.Beyond fecking clueless. If the alternatives weren't Potter or Southgate I'd drive the cnut to the airport myself.
I guess he believes the system and think it will gradually work out if we can continue winning games. It’s a gamble I think.What's going? I mean surely him and the coaching staff must of had conversations about conceding too many shots, and being dominated in every game. Yet nothing changes and it's the same tactics every game. Him and his coaching staff can't be this stupid. They clearly know about football. I really don't understand what's happening.
We hoped he was a great coach, so far he looks like a clueless clown.I still think he’s a great coach. What we saw at Ajax was everything we wanted, he ticked every box.
Yet currently we’re playing like a bunch of individuals that met for the first time in the tunnel.
Ole is still freeBeyond fecking clueless. If the alternatives weren't Potter or Southgate I'd drive the cnut to the airport myself.
I don't expect him to last here if we lose the next two, and I kinda expect us to lose the next two. I wouldn't expect an interim manager to get us into CL now that both Villa and Spurs won and we dropped 2 points with the most demoralising performance of the season. I think the CL is gone now.Absolutely. Or else we will.miss out on the Champions league 100%. Also need to send a message that crap managers will be sacked.
New champions league format and we will be absent.
It’s stubbornness that he insists on pushing two midfielders right up leaving massive gap in the midfield. There has been ample evidence that this has not worked at all this season and yet he persists with the suicidal tactics.Not sure if it’s even stubbornness or just a basic lack of an alternative plan or idea.
He's also confirmed he can't get us playing like Ajax, so it begs the question as to what is the point of having him here?That bolded part (reputation of a good coach he got at Ajax) seems to be the reason some people still believe in ETH. I can't believe anyone watching United games for the past year seriously considers him as a good coach though. We've seen enough.
I think so too. He is a dead man walking, will be gone in summer. I assume everyone at the club will have the same feeling or even knowledge.I think this period was to be his audition for the job. I think he's already blown it and they'll be going full speed ahead looking at replacements.
His defenders are currently locked in crisis talks trying to figure out another excuse that justifies conceded 30+ shots against the worst form team in the league.Is there anyone out there still defending him? 8 months of suicide ball has taken it out of me
I’m not even defending him really, I was earlier in the season when our injuries were insane. But we’ve got most of them back now, no midweek games and plenty of time on the training pitch. And it’s just terrible stuff every week. Which is mad when you consider what he was at Ajax.We hoped he was a great coach, so far he looks like a clueless clown.
Not the first time a manager will have shined at one club but failed elsewhere.
Need to be ruthless and proactive, and have higher standards.
What sort of message would it send to go into next season with a manager at the helm who's contract is expiring and the club weren't willing to extend it over the summer? How would that be good for the managers authority?Regardless of what happens this season I don’t think he goes. Can we really afford 2 lots of competition? He’s out of contract at the end of next season anyway so assess over the next 6 months and then make a decision. With inspiring replacements like Southgate and O’Neill mooted I’d rather stick for the timebeing and hope we can get some consistency of selection, as more than anything this is what ETH needs - his core group to be available and not sat on the treatment table like they’ve been for the majority of the season
*17 lost in the league. Before tonight they had lost 14 of their last 18 PL games and conceded something like 2.2gpg which gave them the worst record in Europe's top 5 league during that span.Brentford have lost 14 games this season but I knew they'd get something today against a team with CL ambitions... We can make anyone look good. ETH is not a top manager, anyone can see that.
