Seeing us struggling to sell players i wonder is it possible that he is like Solskjaer and wants to have big squad?
Yeah, I don't expect us to to be as good as last year's Ajax team this year. They should really have made the quarters over Benfica but their creators didn't step up.If you post it like that it's quite obvious that the Ajax team looks stronger.
Shaw, Maguire, Dalot, De Gea and obviously the vacant Striker spot need replacing.
Btw not saying that Blind is better than Shaw in general, but for the Ten Hag style he is.
The other teams know Maguire is a victim of their change of approach but if I'm them I'd move him as fast as I can. Clear the air so that old locker room voice is gone.Rashford hit 36 G + A barely a year ago. Shaw was outstanding in the 2021 season (one season ago). Maguire was part of our defence which was 5th best in the league in 2021. None of this is 2 years or a long time. literally one season has merched into 2 for some reason. Have I slept through a year or something? The wages thing I can agree on/
The opposite. He is right doing it, and it shows his strong personality. He is not hiding and it is the right thing to do. And that is why he is the right manager for usHe is very naive going into an interview like that particularly with Carragher and Nev.
Right now the club should be doing some kind of media blackout, there is nothing to gain doing these interviews. It's literally giving the media ammo to hit him with around recruitment, player power and bad results and performances.
He is probably trying to get media onside and thinking it will work to his advantage. Even though Nev is a red, make no mistake, he's part of the media circus that loves to see us in trouble. Ten Hag has to understand there is no such thing as trusted or good journos in football.
He is protecting the owners, those involved in the disastrous recruitment planning, the players, especially Ronaldo.The opposite. He is right doing it, and it shows his strong personality. He is not hiding and it is the right thing to do. And that is why he is the right manager for us
After what happened to rangnick he'd be wary of direct answers.To be fair it looks like EtH is just not answering the questions directly
It will take time. We can‘t get FdJ right now, but we sure tried.I've never been more disappointed in a full time manager here.
I expected shit with Moyes and Mourinho, and didn't expect too much from Ole and van Gaal.
I thought ten Hag would be good, though. I thought we finally hired a manager who understood the importance of press resistant players. Nope. Fill the squad with more shite in Eriksen and Casemiro.

It's bull, I'm afraid.It will take time. We can‘t get FdJ right now, but we sure tried.
Eriksen is good on the ball and Casemiro as well, but not press resistant. That‘s not their roles. Eriksen is a creator and Casemoiro a dm.
I'd say Bruno isn't better for that particular style. Doesn't really suit him. At least not on the midfield. Would work on the wing in a similar role like Ziyech had at Ajax.Yeah, I don't expect us to to be as good as last year's Ajax team this year. They should really have made the quarters over Benfica but their creators didn't step up.
The biggest problem is probably our players just not being comfortable or schooled in actually passing and moving and pressing, apart from Eriksen, Martinez and Antony. Midfield 3 on paper looks potentially way better than Ajax's 3, defence and attack bit worse. Keeper a problem, though it was for them too really.
Shaw should be perfect for the role because he's a good defender in the half-spaces generally and can play a pass and easily move between LCB and LB, but he's just so inconsistent and might not give enough of a feck.

The Ronaldo thing is mad, the "I'll tell in 2 weeks", the response from ETH about that not being what he is telling them (wanting to leave).Tweet

Sancho can press, did it just fine at Dortmund so I don't buy that at all. Also, if there's one thing that players can be taught, it's to press.Excellent video on the problems ETH faces. Basically too many players in the squad cant play the way ETH wants. Rashford, Sancho, Bruno, Ronaldo all cant press. Or if they try they are awful at it. Casemiro not mention in the video fills the gap in front of the defence. But the problem still persists. Who other than erikson can turn defence into attack in a possession based system? We have a missing midfielder who we havent bought. Frenkie would have fixed this issue. But wont happen. De gea also needs replacing, think joe hart at city when guardiola joined. This season will be painful and long. We need another midfielder alomg with casemiro.

Have you seen Maguire?Maguire could easily fetch £50-60 million. He is still an important starter for England national team, Arsenal paid £50million for White who had 1 season under his belt. McTominay is fetching 40 million in this market seen as Forest just bought an unproven English player for 45 million P.S. Newcastle want him. Rashford is going for 60-70 million. Raphinha is not more productive than Rashford and went for similar. Shaw is fetching 25-30 million seen as Newcastle just signed a non international LB for 16million. De Gea is fetching £25 million.
If I am wrong, tell me what you think they would fetch and why?
When did you start posting utter bollocks?I've never been more disappointed in a full time manager here.

Casemiro, lightweight?It's bull, I'm afraid.
There are countless press resistant players out there. Instead, we go for more lightweight players in their 30s.
Casemiro is lightweight? Have you ever watched him play?It's bull, I'm afraid.

I have not seen the interview. In what wqy is he protecting the owners?He is protecting the owners, those involved in the disastrous recruitment planning, the players, especially Ronaldo.
Now I understand that a manager has to do that, but when Ronaldo leaves and when we end up signing players out of panic and when the fans do their next protest against the glazers, it will make him look like a mug. However this interview was by choice, it's not the contractual stuff he has to do for the associated press before and after a game, which is why I believe it's naive.
Right now, his focus should be all about the team. Taking time out to do a piece for MNF so Carragher and Neville can tear lumps out of him, on the live show beforehand, who do you think it benefits!
Still at least three major issues there but that would be quite a feat if we could make it happen. Really doubt it though.I think we are going to break the bank and buy Antony too. And then in the final day of window, somehow FDJ finally make up his mind to leave, and we will pay Barca/FDJ whatever they what. So there it is:
De GeaOur season will be back on track with these players, it has to be.
Dalot Varane Martinez Malacia
Casemiro FDJ
Antony Eriksen Sancho
Ronaldo
Casemiro is lightweight? Have you ever watched him play?
Your obsession with “press resistant” is a bit weird tbh. It’s a meaningless description, which just means players that are hard to get the ball of. Which is something that should apply to every good footballer.
Press resistant? I too want that. I want a player that can play like Modric. This is a strong reason why Madrid won in the CL. But Casemiro was also his teammate. Did Casemiro somehow dull Modric's ability to be press resistant? Did he somehow make Real Madrid less likely to win those trophies by making them not as good in the press resistant to where Modric's ability was no longer a factor? Obviously not if they won multiple times with him.I've never been more disappointed in a full time manager here.

He did the same at Juve telling he wants to stay but then asked to be sold on 31th augustThe Ronaldo thing is mad, the "I'll tell in 2 weeks", the response from ETH about that not being what he is telling them (wanting to leave).
Ronaldo's kicked up a massive fuss hasn't he, about some players being absolutely fecking shite and the need for the club to go massive in the market? I didn't believe it at all, sounded like absolutely nonsense, but everything is started to point to a player making massive demands of the club to improve.
Crazy isn’t it. He’s over 6ft and known for being one of the most aggressive, tough tackling midfielders in the world.Casemiro, lightweight?
He did not say he was staying at Juve, he just said that the press need to keep their mouth shut and that he will do his talking on the pitch. Back then, there were strong rumours that Allegri had told Juve that he did not want Ronaldo to be part of the team if he comes back as the new manager and Juve also felt that Ronaldo's wages were blocking their transfer funds. So it made sense why Ronaldo left.He did the same at Juve telling he wants to stay but then asked to be sold on 31th august
Press-Resistant players are actually very rare. But yes, there are some targets we could have been after.It's bull, I'm afraid.
