This one is on him again. He's been making some odd choices of late.
Still think he's the right man though

Yea, that was not great.
CAF is fecking hilarious, we lose and it’s basically Hag Out
Feel free to post where that was said
He's done a lot of good but where he has done pretty horribly is managing us away to anyone remotely difficult. Barcelona the single exception. We've been battered away by Arsenal, city, Liverpool, Newcastle and Brentford. Not much between any of the performances. All could have been 7-0 like Liverpool. Just finishing on the day. That's on him setting us up horribly.
I'm confident he'll get it right and adapt, but yeah, not good that at all.

5 away defeats versus the top 9.
Every away game against the top teams we have been stuffed. Absolutely gutless in all of them bar ironically Arsenal away.CAF is fecking hilarious, we lose and it’s basically Hag Out
This why you don't get beat 7-0 by your greatest rivals. Everything just goes to shit.
Weghorst experiment over surely? guy was invisible
Not good. As he would say.
Today was scandalous.
Needs to sort out our away form, poor again.
Trust him to get it right, really rubbish today.

It was like we were playing with 10 men after those subs.
That was a disgrace of a performance

That's crazy.
Still has to go to Brighton and Spurs… it’s actually 6 defeats now.
I do wonder if he’d still be here if we hadn’t signed Casemiro. We look exactly the same as last season without him in the team.
Started with the wrong tactics with mctominay,weghorst & bruno playing deep.
He really needs to drop Weghorst…
yeah, a bad run from him lately.
Will be interesting to see what he can come up with, while his best midfielders are out.
He has lots of credit in the bank. am not worried.
He has things to sort out. He has his faults.
We need to have better players in many positions.
interesting 1 or 2 ahead.
Shite last couple of weeks.

Rashford has scored and played a lot as a striker in first half of the season. Why are some of you pretending he isuch worse as a striker?
Also him as a striker plus Sancho/Pellistri/Garnacho/even Bruno wide is much better than Rashford wide and Weghorst up front. That's at least 3 or 4 better combinations than the one we watch every game.
This season his achievement has been in the cups, else we aren't anything special in the league. Our ranking in the league also down to competition more than anything else.
I thought his game management in the second halves was getting better. But today it was back to being strange. Why on earth did you change your back line formation and personnel when we were still getting battered after going down a goal? Then put the CB, who is the weakest, in the air.
All this weirdness around.
Except not one person has said he should be sacked. Get some tougher skin and learn to handle criticism of UnitedCAF is fecking hilarious, we lose and it’s basically Hag Out
yes... miracles compared to previous seasons. Definitely can make some questionable choices that don't always work out, but that's part of management.Newcastle we in the relegation zone in Jan 2022. Now after spending a similar amount to us and hiring Eddie Howe they are ahead of us. Yet people think ETH is working miracles?
we all know ETH is very good. Howe had like 5 seasons in the EPL. It's ETH's first. We had 58 points last year, Newcastle of 49. Only 9 point difference.
also, Newcastle was 5th in week 2 and we were dead last.. we are now tied and we're doing better for a while.We have had a few key players out which affected us.
not to mention, ETH adopted a squad that was pretty much a bunch of overpaid primadonnas that didn't have any standards whatsoever.
Can’t criticise him on here though or it means you want him sacked or something
Terrible substitutions today Ten hag thinks he's playing Fifa 23.
Takes more than a year to turn a squad around, but it's days like this you realise how much of a huge gap there is between Casemeiro/Eriksen and Mct/Fred/Sabitzer.
Needs a new keeper, at least one new right back, 2 new midfielders and at least striker.
The likes of McT, Fred, Sancho, Lindelof, Dalot, Martial, Maguire etc just need to be shown the door.

Name one post that said this.CAF is fecking hilarious, we lose and it’s basically Hag Out
Terrible today and some weird substitutions but the reality is he is really hamstrung by injuries.
We are missing Casemiro and Eriksen and have no options in midfield. A top club should have a few players ready to come into the midfield and take control of the game but we just don't have them. Also Martial is coming back from injury but our strike options are so light.
That being said he probably should have kept Antony on who was doing ok and taking off both Martinez and Varane was some of the weirdest subs I've seen in a while.
I'm also a little worried by his unwillingness to take off someone like Bruno who always seems to play no matter how bad he plays. I thought he was atrocious today.

It's undeniable that we have been pretty bad away from home this season and this needs to improve.
But his subs were pretty dumb today as well and just bizarre. His selections don't help.
Now that Martial is back, there's no more excuse to keep starting Weghorst.

Yeah that's a figment of your imagination. Constructive criticism is totally fine - it's a discussion board after all.CAF is fecking hilarious, we lose and it’s basically Hag Out
Part of this has to be his reluctance to play 3 in midfield, especially when so many of our current midfielders have obvious deficiencies. I accept Bruno and others are dropping deeper to compensate but it’s still not enough.
It's weird that we will do anything but drop weghorst. When Ronaldo was bad early season we played Rashford as the 9. Weghorst has been bad for weeks and we haven't dared drop weghorst.
Nobody is beyond criticism and that goes for manager too.
He messed up. Simple as that. McT and Wout attacking combo must be the worst manager decision since LVG put Jones on corner duty.
My concern now is that his (wrong) team selections in big away games are becoming a pattern.
Against City he started without Casemiro, against Pool it was a complete disaster with Bruno on lw and Wout on no10. Against Arsenal hexwas late with subs to defend a draw.
And now this McT and Wout combo. What was his plan with these two?
Our away form and performances in big away games are really looking bad now.

Yep. People have got far too carried away but any suggestion that everything isn't great gets shot down by the usual suspects.
He needs to ditch the 4-2-3-1 and either switch to 3 at the back or 4-3-3, even if that means leaving some players out.
The absurd decision to take both CBs off, I hope they question him about it cause I hope there is a sane reason for that
I am fully expecting people to ignore us being the team who played the most games this season with terrible squad depth, that we had many key player injuries/suspensions through the season, the big progress we made in spite of all that, I am expecting all that being ignored and we just blame Ten Hag, easy solution.
Oh yeah, also blame Weghorst, that is given.

Could be easily 7-0 again.
ETH I love you but please stop playing Bruno in the Eriksen role.
I've got no idea what he was even trying to do today. Those mental subs when we were finally starting to play with a little bit of pace and making a couple of chances killed us off.
He's still got massive amounts of credit in the bank, of course, but there have been a few of these games lately.
