Okay, sureErik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

- Start date
Okay, sureYou were surprised we conceded early? The only surprise was we didn't capitulate.
My one mild criticism is that Garnacho and Mctominay could have come on sooner but it was obvious the plan was to keep Garnacho ready for the final half an hour to run at tired legs and he did really well. Mctominay has barely had any games so i can see why he didn't come on sooner but i expected more from Eriksen.
Who’s losing their shit mr ‘I’m going to reply to your posts 0.001 second after you post them’Agree fully. Quite encouraged despite being disappointed. Actually not as gutted as I thought I would be
Great first season. Unlucky today.
He has beaten every single big club/team we've faced this season.
i just hope and pray that he brings players in summer who will lift this team to next level.
You've totally lost your head
I get why and the timing of it, but you'd think Mount was Weghorst the way you're reacting about him, we might not even sign him anyway!which bit of that have I got wrong?
Thought he coached a good game considering how thin our already thin team was after the Antony and Martial injuries. Definitely one of his best big games tactically so far. We nullified City well all afternoon, but we were caught dallying on the ball too much and just not brave enough in progression.
Only complaints would be that Eriksen should have been off a little sooner. I wanted him off at half he was playing so poorly. Thought we also completely lost momentum after subbing on Weghorst but it was also after the ref gave that shite foul against Casemiro when we were all over them. Weghorst was fine when he actually had the ball though.

I hope we don’t but we’ll see what happens. I’m just questioning the need to push so hard for the first midfielder of the summer that’s availableYou've totally lost your head
You being obtuse on purpose?
Honestly, I'd have rather seen McTominay over quite a few out there today, at least he gets it. People take the piss out of Passion FC and all that crap, but bloody hell compared to seeing meek shite performances like we saw from Sancho today....
Well if anyone’s qualified to hand such awards out….
Everything mate, you bring up Ole more than anyone who wanted him here when we were winning
In last 2 games, Sancho had been good on right. Should have started with him on right and Garnacho on left.
Glad we agree
Having seen this game to me it confirms ETH has had an absolute brilliant season getting 3rd place, the other cup and this final given the players available to him.
Can't fault him today. Very tough to beat City with that guy in goal, a half dead Eriksen, and Sancho
To be fair mate I'm sure a bit more thought has gone into it than that. I've been a critic of Mount a lot, but we're screaming out for someone who can do the simple things well and create, he can do all that. We need someone tidy on the ball, especially when we've got so many who treat it like a hot potato.
Very good first season given the challenging circumstances - Rashford coming in late, Ronaldo drama, injuries/suspensions to the likes of Martinez, Casimero, and others.
Confident we will be in the mix for the treble trophies next year after a few quality signings.

What? You think Mount is the answer?
He doesn’t have enough quality in attack. Simple as that. Need to strengthen heavily to be able to challenge City.
He's a very good player. Played a key role in a CL winning team under Tuchel. Every manager loves him. He's got excellent analytics, very effective. Great presser. He was overrated when they started comparing him to Bruno and de Bruyne that one season, but he is a very good player all the same, and young still. He'll make a massive difference for us.
If he had a competent goalkeeper we would have had 3 trophies and maybe another 5 points too. Back him to the hilt.
Great defensive set up, we kept City quiet for long parts of the game. Regarding the second goal there's nothing he can do about De Gea's feck up. I just hope he's seen enough of him and we're looking to replace him.
We just dont have the talent in the squad to properly challenge City. Support him and he'll make it but today it was ridiculous how we only had Garnacho on the bench. While City had Ake, Laporte, Alvarez, Mahrez and Foden.

Weghorst sub is logical. That's his only attacking option.
The Scott sub was the baffling one and just made us worse. Could have done without this one entirely.
Not that it would have mattered much when it comes to the result anyway.
I blame Martial for that. If not for his arse being continuously injured, we would have had more options than Eriksen or Weghorst.

Aye, we did as well as we could have, and could have either scored another two goals (Garnacho and the chance in the end).
And I totally fecking agree but mount isn’t the answer for me. caceido and others look way better options for the outlay
Considering we have no fecking striker then he did ok. Give him the fecking tools!!!!!
Bringing on Weghorst in a cup final pretty much sums up the kind of ownership this club has had to endure for far too long, credit to City by the way, but Utd have been hamstrung in such a manner by the owners that they have let City have carte blanche now for a long time, let's hope Ten Hag is backed to the hilt this summer though it wouldn't be a surprise if he isn't if there's no significant changes at the top.
I don’t think effort was the issue at all today. I thought everyone tried to pull their weight. The unfortunate reality is we just don’t have the quality.
We need a big summer for him now.
Good first season all things considered. Going to need a better squad to seriously compete for the big titles as could be seen today.
If we sign him, I hope you’re right, I really do, but for me I see more shades of Sancho than KDB or Bruno
Hopefully we can put together a decent window and get him an actual squad for next season. Our lack of depth is truly shocking.
I agree. He's done well to do all that considering who we have and who is injured.
I still have question marks around him for the long-term and there are still some things that concern me. The willingness to keep playing Weghorst, for one. Still not entirely sold on his decision to bring Antony to the club, either.
However, he's done well this season and to finish in the top 3, win one trophy and make it to the final of another is great going for his first season. I'm really eager to see what we do in the Summer and what changes for next year. The expectations will be ever higher.
We were missing our first-choice centre-back, our first-choice right-winger and our first-choice centre-forward.
For some perspective, City had three players on the bench in those positions better than those starters and only one of them got on the pitch.

Good first year. When you still watch us playing with players who struggle to complete a 5 yard pass or any other basic fundamental you realise what he’s up against
