No idea, but that's what there's around 500 people paid for. Scouts, recruiters and negotiators. Whoever the next best right back is.So De Jong, Sesko and ?

Decisive for what?The next 3/4 games already decisive I think
Probably experiencing the same problem Rangnick had. You tell the players what you want and once they are in trouble they revert to their comfort zone.There were moments when the camera cut to him on the side line looking guilty and bemused. That, or a deer under bright light. Hope it is going to be a one-off as he was completely different during pre season.
He can’t appease them too much though, can he? Him being harsh on them public all seems alright to me, but he’s got to go further and drop them: Maguire, Fred, Rashford, McT, Bruno will get him the sack if he keeps starting them. Some of them should be out of the door, really.What I would say, him being quite harsh in public about the players, when he's pretty much got plenty of the same players who love to throw a manager under the bus and down tools, makes me a bit worried. There's still so much low quality slop he's got to work with, who I feel simply can't be trusted.
I'd happily see them dropped, play the sodding kids, at least they might actually listen, follow instruction and be good enough.He can’t appease them too much though, can he?

I agree, but also think that in this specific case he got the tactics wrong too. Here’s hoping the board wakes up and we play better In our next match.Probably experiencing the same problem Rangnick had.

It takes time and recruitment to make it work.
Also for what it's worth he made effective changes until the last minute gamble.
I hope things kick on soon and we get the players he needs.He is on a learning curve in the 1st season.
It always annoys me when the retort to someone saying we need reinforcements is "who?" - like you say, a supporter will watch a limited amount of games, typically games which involve the club they support, they shouldn't be expected to come up with a comprehensive list, there's people being paid handsomely to identify players that can play he style we want who also have the character to play for a huge club.No idea, but that's what there's around 500 people paid for.

Decisive in the RedCafe managerial stay or go contest. Only meant for fans who believe a manager cannot make mistakes.Decisive for what?
His future? Top 4?
Sorry mean sharpening the knives for ETH, I do t think I explained myself clearly. I agree with the players, and RR was correct on how many needed to go, but this damaged our share price and the vile leeches the Glazers could not have an expert (when it comes to recruitment not management) dropping truth bombs.The problem is, the knives never stopped sharpening. These bunch of players put in the the worst shift imaginable last season including 0-5 defeat to Liverpool at Old Trafford. Most of of these players are still on the pitch and the board have made an absolute tit out of the fan base in the transfer window that followed. Do you honestly expect anything else?

Agreed with the subs in the 90th min. The last 5 mins were comfortable for Brighton.That was the most disappointing first game I could have imagined. He made mistake after mistake. Grand it was his first game but fecking hell. Why did he make those 3 subs in the 90th minute? Either give them some proper time or don't. But he basically handed the impetus to Brighton for the last 5 minutes when we were on top before that. Leaving McTominay on for so long was a moronic decision.
Hopefully this will be an eye opener for him. He needs to learn and adapt quickly. That was simply disgraceful.
I think the issue is we mostly dealt with their direct play it was the players making silly mistakes that cost us those 2 goals, McT giving the ball away first goal etc.In the post match comments, EtH said that he was surprised by how Brighton played. Surprised that they did not build out from the back and instead resorted to direct play. This is why United's press failed.
I'm sorry but isn't it EtH's job to notice these things and make changes to tactics at half time? Is he going to be another uni-dimensional coach like RR or OGS?
His future is not in doubt. Even if we fail over the next four games. This is a team that is used to losing.His future, imagining getting only 1/2 points in the first month
The pressure would be already unsustainable
With managers we point to certain things that started their downfall, Van Gaal the Leicester match for example, Ten Hag is going to put himself under very avoidable pressure if he doesn’t do everything to get a CM inIf he persists with McFred then he better be prepared for more results and performances like yesterday.
Think this is a good summary. You go to the game, give up the day and spend the cash and get players putting in a disinterested performance. It didn’t take much for people in the ground to get impatient with the team yesterday and it was completely fair in my opinion. The players have been used to understanding and getting time from the fans but they are finding out now that it doesn’t last forever.Can't deny I'm already worried about his prospects after one game. It's quite possible we lose 3 or 4 out of the next 5 games and it could be over before it even began.
There's no room for manoeuvre. The fans have had enough after years of failure and are not going to be patient. They will respond to some signs of hope and improvement but it needs to happen quickly.
The 90th minute subs were bizarre. Putting on 2 young players for their debuts in such a fevered situation and not even giving them 10 minutes to get their first touches in and their heads focused. Weird.
Anyway, my hope is that he has the strength and flexibility of mind to make some very tough decisions, and he needs to make them quickly. He must realise that players like Shaw, McTominay and Rashford could jeopardise his career as they are simply not bringing any quality or intensity onto the pitch anymore. Malacia, DVB and Garnacho are all risky replacements but he's going to be forced to gamble on them early I suspect.
If FDJ isn't happening they now need to be brave and choose an alternative and maybe overpay on them. £70m on Neves is a joke for example, but we can't go into the season with no midfielders - that £70m will seem cheap when we're getting pumped nearly every game.
We are, but if he uses McFred as first XI throughout the season, it's doomed.Wow. This is a lot more negative than anticipated.
We’re giving him more than one game right?
