It's crazy to think we passed up on Antonio Conte
Conte would have had a mental breakdown by now even if we had appointed him. Conte working for the Glazers would have made great tv though

Honestly can't see him even lasting to October. He should walk away from this shit show now.
Van Gaal at least had some players with the proper attitude and experience of some success under Ferguson: Valencia, Young etc. This guy doesn't have anyone. I will exclude the new signings for now as they have entered into a crap show.
I don't really see what a change of tactics will do.
This isn’t how he sent them out, behave.
We can’t throw more managers under the bus for these players, it’s plainly obvious what the problem is at this stage
What a genius idea to bring a 4ft5 CB to the EPL.
He needs to learn a lot of lessons quick. The u21s would be better than half these players that have started.
Oh yeah I'd take a 15th finish if I meant 90% of these players fecked off. Its the only thing that can save this club tbh. Either that or Shiek. If I was ETH I'd just play youth going forward.
This is what the management above him want. Him getting blamed and them escaping responsibility. It’s like giving a Formula 1 racer the keys to a Lada and expecting him to win Le Mans. Don’t back a manager and see what happens.
Honestly, as I said few posts ago this guy doesn't seem to respect the Premier League with such shit tactical set up, so him getting humiliated is deserved.
Dutch tactics have and will never work in the PL. This was my big worry going into this season I despise being right. Why is he insisting on these players. Play the fecking youth.
I think he'll get it right eventually. But this is suicidal tactics so far
Even though ETH was my second choice, I did not realize he would look this clueless. Why sign Martinez when we don't need him? Priotize a mid and a attacker. But, I did say ETH was on a downward trajectory. Ajax hasn't gotten to the height of the semi final in the champion league again and they have not be amazing since then

To be fair, he likely would have left this summer, anyway - he wouldn't have stood for this crap transfer window.
I can get the mistakes at the back to an extent. But what's worrying me more is our gamelan in attack. I don't even see the passing options for a possession team. They're moving into positions early ready for a cross into the box.
They absolutely are good enough. We beat both teams with an aggregate score of 5-0 in the same fixtures last season. Under Rangnick. The opportunity is there to not pick Maguire. The opportunity was there to not pay over £50m for a midget in defence and the opportunity was there to not play Eriksen and Fred as defensive midfielders.
I need to eat a huge slice of humble pie.
I really thought Ten Hag was a good coach and be a big improvement on Ralf but today's lineup shows he has absolutely no clue about football in this country.
You can't go to Brentford with a team of midgets.
We are absolutely fecked.

Plus a 5f6 LB. How was that ever going to work?
I think he is a victim of pure arrogance. He's re-learning things that us fans learnt all through last season. Couple that with learning about the gap between the premier league and the eredivisie and this is unsurprising.
Hopefully he learns quickly and makes changes else he'll be gone soon.

Those above him didn't tell him to start with this awful midfield combo, nor did they tell him to chase after one player the entire summer.
They also didn't tell him to sign this shit 50m defender, or the left back he's leaving on the bench to rot.
He would've left the club in a better position
I do not think a single person did. This is beyond ANYONES imagination.
That’s the concern for me too.
Devastating. This is like the second half at Leicester in LVG's first season, just miles worse.
The players are fecking disgusting, they're not fit to wear the shirt and at least 7 of them shouldn't play for us again. However, knowing that and seeing them week in week out, why would you make them play a type of football they're absolutely incapable of playing? This is the issue with system managers, they're so hamstrung by the system they don't know what else to do except more of the system.
I don't really want to see counter attacking football against the likes of Brentford but at least we'd stand a chance of fecking winning!
Why feel sorry? He picks them.
True, I'm not sure what a plan B looks like at this point. Maybe just throw in some of the youth and hope it works out? Although then you risk demoralizing them and bringing them down to the level of the rest of the players.
Him giving these imposters a fresh clean slate to redeem themselves is costing him big time! Did he not watch us last season? How can you trust these group of players - they simply don’t give a f***.
His own fault for being naive enough to think he can improve this current crop of shite. Should have made one of the conditions of him getting the job that he can get rid of them all.
Should have kept Ralf as well. As bad as he was as a manager his evaluation of the squad was spot on.

When was the last time a manager walked?
He could be gone by September at this rate, he looks completely out of his dept here.
He's just trying to play his style with a team full of imbeciles and incapable of doing it, so there is naivety on his part. He has to adapt, play defensive until he gets a team who can do it, but will we get the players? Can he adapt?
Just in the mud
Just in the mud
Someone should tell him we're losing.
You are mental
Way too open. No defensive player in that midfield
He has understimated the PL going with the same set of players when Rangnick told everyone they werent worth it

No it's not. At least in this game we played some good football and we were one man down.
He should be allowed to get rid of every player he wants to. Not sure there are any worth keeping
Those two mistakes from De Gea game him zero chance from then forward.
Who else would he pick at this point? The cupboard is bare and the club isn't capable of making intelligent signings.
When I said that we shouldn't bother getting a CB that is less then 6ft2 I was laughed at. The irony is that Franco Baresi is my favourite CB ever. However he played in the Serie A not in the EPL. Ah and I almost forgot, this Martinez fella is not Franco Baresi.
Not as mental as ETH signing a midget in the PL
