Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

I think I defended the managers right to pick the first XI he feels is the best to win. I criticized Oles choice to pick Maguire, this is not different.
Nar, you attempted to play both sides of the coin again there. The post was clearly slagging off Ten Hag’s team choice and “ride together die together philosophy” which has no place in the late stages of European competition.
Well, I wasn't part of that 'crew' you keep mentioning, so your gaslighting won't work. As I said, I was generally fair to Ole, and was with him until the wheels fell off. So, no, I don't see the difference as you aren't speaking about me? As I said, my issues were never with Ole, only with his fans. I didn't rate him, but he done ok considering his obvious limitations.
Why did you only pipe up very vocally after the Liverpool defeat? It's very peculiar, no? You never nitpicked with Ole, but suddenly it's ok now after one bad defeat.
You have been overwhelmingly a balanced poster, with an analytical and objective view of most topics discussed around here.
I do, however, sense that Ten Hag doesn't get the same treatment as Ole did, in your posts. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it's bitterness. Maybe it's something completely different.
Regardless, hope you continue being an analytical and objective poster who brings perspective from their own life and experience as a manager of people and custodian of a business.
Good thing you are not the manager.
The win percentage is interesting, but beyond only the percentage, the fact we've played so many games (more than any one else) should be factored in, especially taking into consideration we're a squad on the rebuild. The games are coming thick and fast, the downtime for players is almost non-existent, there's little room for rotation... It's an amazing stat whichever way you look at it, we're having a great season.
Going through some of the half time comments in here, fecking hell.
Those are the commenters you generally put on ignore

Hmm, I haven't gone through and checked, but my guess is that you only started criticising Ole's picking Maguire at the very end of his tenure when you sensed that Maguire's poor performances were going to get him the sack.
One thing is for certain, you weren't criticising his team selections or philosophy 30 odd games into the job.
That's obvious.
He shipped off CR7 who now regularly scores hat-tricks in one of the best leagues in Asia. He didn't do shit to keep positive characters like PogPog and J-Lin who both did wanders for our social media accounts. Instead, he populated squad with questionable, overly aggressive characters like The Butcher, Blondie, Dutch Donkey and that overpaid old sieve discarded by Madrid.
What an insecure looser. Probably cause he's bold and has a stutter.
Get him out!
Well deserved. Well done gaffer
Some people are really going to struggle if we progress to the Quarters in the Europa League, Semis of the FA Cup and win our remaining league games in March cos he might end up Manager of the Month for March too...in spite of 'the worst day ever'!
Napoli are my darkhorse CL pick. In fact, I'm quite bullish on them to win this.Napoli
Only this would count but I think losing 7 - 0 should automatically disqualify you from being manager of that month if I'm honest
Ha, ah yes true - was forgetting it was a Premier League award! Ah well, he might have to wait until April for his next one then!Only this would count but I think losing 7 - 0 should automatically disqualify you from being manager of that month if I'm honest

It seems weird getting a manager of the month award a few days after the clubs worst defeat in their history.
Liverpool had a parade with their previous Premier League title in a season when they finished below us.
Unlikely as we only have one PL game left in March. Next weekend is the FA cup and then I think its the break.
What? It's for February. The Liverpool result was in March.
Well deserved! Have to laugh at the amount of absolute clowns who’ve replied to this saying “He JuSt LOst 7-0” clearly don’t understand how months of the year work.
Tom Cato will be fuming.
We just have to iron out the Midfield structure to stop conceding alot of chances, then everything will be perfectly fine.

I feel like half of those came in the Liverpool game. Also think having a higher line goalkeeper can make a difference too. And defo a midfield where we can retain and recycle possession.
He wants to implement his vision, and the way we bounced back last night against Real Betis, shows that no matter what bumps in the road we encounter along the way, Erik ten Hag will continue to take us on our upward trajectory.
They will probably respond that Swedes have an “agenda” as a result of being “butthurt” over losing Norway in 1905
Are there really people who would rather United fail just to stick up for an old manager? I haven’t seen that. Would be very weird if true, if they are Infact fans of the club.
I see people niggling at ten Haag and I’d say sometimes that’s justified just to have an opinion on certain things he’s done. I loved ole as manager but like I’ve said ten Haag is a different level and feel lucky we have him here, I still don’t agree with everything he’s done, but that’s just fans and football.
If he can win the Europa league, and finish 3rd aswell as already having the caraboa then that’s a very good season in his first season in England. Beats klopp and guardiola anyway.
I don't know about anyone else but I'm just happy to see he is still on peoples minds
Good article that.
Certainly in terms of stats we're having a peculiar season. Up there in terms of clean sheet but also conceding lots of shots and on the end of a few drubbings. Heavily reliant on one player for goals but with it a brilliant win rate.
Even our goal difference. Would be interesting to know how many teams have finished 3rd with around a +6 goal difference.
These things don't usually go hand in hand.
Liverpool considered to be having a poor season but they've scored more and conceded less than us.
Either way ETH is making it work as well as can be expected in his first year.
ha ha!!They will probably respond that Swedes have an “agenda” as a result of being “butthurt” over losing Norway in 1905
Liverpool are on 45 trophies and we're on 43, so if we win FA cup and EL, we're back level
