We all know that you just lied.
Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

I'd love him to be that sassy tactically vs City in the final.
I don't know, he's still got that smooth smooth dome
This club is made of styrofoam and it makes sense.
I think his reaction is him doing exactly that. He’s fighting his corner and defending his team.
Credit to Coventry but I don’t agree with that. We were poor after 70 minutes, but they were lucky to get to 3-3. The penalty was very harsh.
We’ve seen this lack of game management over and over; there is no way Ten Hag isn’t talking to his players about this.
He is not coaching them to lose the ball or lose duels at critical moments.
His media appearances are consistently infuriating.
It's one thing to be bad at your job, it's another to repeatedly suggest everyone else is just wrong
An unlikeable man

He's been stewing on that for a while
ffs Lick himBeen listening to his presser again. He really has no idea. He says football is about results, therefore our cup achievements should be respected. How about looking at our results in the CL and PL eh? Prcik.
Holy cow! Seriously?
Without Bruno, Garnacho and Rashford we are thoroughly screwed. Glad this isn’t on TV, could be another embarrassment.
No, I won't!
Both missing my point. If you think any of these guys would ask guardiola if he's embarrassed or if his players are embarrassed you're in a fantasy land. Im talking about the way these cretins have dealt with United for years. Remember that creep from sky hounding ten hag into his car before he was even the manager. The contrast is shocking. And yes in recent years city have lost to wigan and Southampton - but this isn't the contrast im making. The media have shown ZERO respect to any United manager post Ferguson, they behave like snivelling youtube comment section trolls and they simultaneously bend over for guardiola and tiptoe around their cheating and endless ref calls.
feck these people. They are embarrassing, and theyd have been wanking at the thought of guardiola v pep send off if Liverpool had beaten Coventry in the same manner, not asking klopp if he was embarrassed. But we knocked Liverpool out. They were leading in extra time. They were leading in normal time.
Some of the comments in here, christ, you make it easy for people who detest United, as so many seem to hate United themselves
Really? I think Moyes is the only manager who has more of a wet cardboard personality we’ve had
With those set of defenders it has been for about 5 years
There is no injury crisis according to Neville
I don't know. He's usually such a charisma vacuum wet lettuce that it's almost refreshing to see him show some personality. Even if it is in service of defending the indefensible.
I really don’t get him. He doesn’t appear to value dominating and control over football matches - constantly harping about effective and unlucky we are, taking about rubbish performances as if they were good. Standards start from the top and it seems ETH has none.
We have never been anywhere near as open as we have this season.
Whether you like him or not he is right
I don’t understand why anybody puts any stock in what a manager says to the press. It’s just platitudes and narrative. You can bet your bottom It’s totally different from what he’s saying in the changing room.
All managers do it, SAF was a master at it - they want to set the agenda and control the narrative which is fair enough. Doesn’t necessarily make it what they really believe.
Thats a lie
Don’t agree, I think it makes him look like someone moaning nonsense because he’s under pressure
It is not, as proven by every single stat.
That’s because you view him negatively from your perspective. You, like many others have reached a conclusion on him (which is entirely reasonable and you are all entitled to do obviously) and that will colour your take on everything he does now until he isn’t employed by the club any more.
Except clean sheets and goals conceded but do carry on
Have you watched us this season? Are you for real?
He'd be sympathetic if ETH called it a mini retirement
Ive clearly watched us for many years more than you. Also clearly less emotionally driven
If he's just being judged on results it's hardly over the top. Judged on results he's lucky he's still got a job.
Okay, Erik.
Not necessarily saying you're wrong, but what season do you think we were more open and worse defensively than this?
Pre Fergie days ?
Our fans patience is off the charts to be honest! Hats off to all of them.
Our organisation, tactics and setup have been awful for over a year.
Brentford are happy to avoid relegation and just recently played us off the pitch. Coventry is a decent championship side and we just couldn`t handle them once they pushed forward.
But 23% of us still thinks that Erik is the right guy for us.
What?! We have 1 fit defender at the club. Even the players loaned to cover and the young players bought up to bolster numbers are injured. How does he come to that conclusion?!
Again, it doesn't matter after which minute we were poor. It was disgraceful to give up a 3-0 lead to the draw the game at 90 minutes.
No manager coaches his team to lose the ball or duels. Frank De Boer also wasn't asking his Palace players to lose the ball/duels, neither was Moyes asking our players to lose the ball/duels. But both of them like ETH proved to be our of depth in their jobs.
I am flabbergasted at the discussion we are having. If I am correct, you want to say that everyone and everything other than Ten Hag is to blame for the last game and whatever has happened this season. The "professional and controlled" performance for the first 70 minutes was all because of Ten Hag's genius but the 20 minutes after was the Glazers, players, the tea lady's fault. The wins are Ten Hag's, the draws and losses are everyone else's.
Good talk, Dude!
Maybe the first months of 2019-2020? But Ole fixed it by readjusting the defensive line and focus on containment instead of pressing high.
Fanbases of other big clubs do not have an unhealthy attachment to the manager. They're not ready to throw the club under the bus just to defend the manager.
I see the new EtH in cycle has already kicked in. Didn't take long
Oh well, on to the next embarrassing peformance.We've had periods of being equally open maybe yeah, but I honestly cannot remember a full season where every game it looks like we could easily concede 3 or 4.
I can't even remember the last clean sheet we had
Nobody has said he's had no control, there's a world of difference between that and "he's put together over 50% of the squad". That's just hyperbole.
Letting go of aging players and youth players who simply aren't of the required standard, most of whom are on inflated contracts, is a required step. Someone like Forson costs the club a lot less than someone like Elanga, so it's only sensible to get rid of the higher cost deadwood before the lower cost deadwood.
