Absolutely.
Nonsense. Just you shouldn't need to change your whole style because of 2 players. A team is about balance. KDB and Mahrez gave the ball away plenty - but it's ok because they had Gundogan, Rodri, Bernardo, Grealish to keep the ball. You need risk takers and you need ball retainers. Instead, we have Casemiro with Eriksen/Mount behind Bruno. All of whom regularly have a pass rate of below 80%.
Sell Bruno? Jesus Christ.
I don’t want any shiny new toy. I want ETH to be the the manager we all want and expect.
What utter tripe!
You say you want ETH to be the manager we all want yet you spout nonsense like this. You have no idea if he's lost the dressing room or not. Repeating it as fact doesn't make it fact.
I don't even understand what you're responding to here.
If it was just a one-off and once in a blue moon sure, but there's been signs of his decline and he might have fallen off a cliff now.
You realize he's core player and give us trouble as much as he offers, right.
Do you think United has the structure to do 180 degree transition smoothly?
I'm an easy man to please, I just want a midfielder that's good at passing and solid defensively (and isn't an old). Why is this so difficult for us.
When exactly did I say it was a fact? It’s my opinion!
Plenty of other teams in the league seem to improve it fairly quickly. Newcastle, Spurs, Brighton, Chelsea.
Didnt some of Ajax fans here reminded us that the mastermind behind that team was Overmars and ETH transfers were mostly hot garbage. The right move was RR as DOF and ETH as manager. If he didnt want to accept such setup we can just find another manager back then. RR was trash as manager but his record as DoF is better than anyone in our current dumpster setup. All his recommendation ended up at other top teams, mainly gvardiol (who has just became the most ex CB that goes to our rival) and nkunku. He literally labelled Gvardiol as a "must buy". This man might be trash as a manager but he knows a good player with potential when he sees one.
We have been really good with it this season. Its the bit after getting the ball into midfield that our issue as demonstrated against Arsenal especially.
I do think Amrabat will solve a lot of problems for us. But at the same time, if ten Hag does the diamond again, it'll be useless, as that just has massive holes on either flank that are very easy to exploit. Amrabat next to Casemiro should be very good though. Bruno as the 10, Mount on the right half spaces with Dalot overlapping him and Garnacho being an impact sub has a lof of positives in it. Or it should. We'll see how we do it.
That's why they bought Amrabat.
Bruno is our best signing post-fergie imo. I think you're way off.
Check your posts, dude. You said in both 'He has lost the dressing room'.
God help us if this is considered good. A clanger from Onana and the defence is on the horizon. It almost happened in the first half today.
Perhaps, and there's a reasonable argument to be made that ETH will have to rejig his style/expectations of his squad similarly to last season. We started terribly last year in part because of a poor window and in part because ETH expected too much from his squad. He then changed his blueprint to fit the skillset he was managing.
Almost happened to Brighton too go figure.
To be fair, you can read what Keano said years a go and easily think he was talking about today.
It's quite easy to fear the worst. Many players have changed in those years but we still look like a team of bluffers. Overweight players not training properly and not producing, using their pals in the media.
Never too late.
Except he didn't.
Except he did we, we played the best football I have seen us play post Fergie last season before the Eriksen injury
Really? We must watch different games then. We press high now, our ball retention out of the back is far and away better. We have elements of positional play. We play in a 3-2-5 buildup structure.
First modern manager we've had in a decade. There might be better. You don't have to marry the first decent girl you meet.
I refuse to get my hopes up until I've seen it happen.
If Mount can actually be effective on the right for us I may actually start to believe our luck is turning around a bit, given how cursed a position it's been and how eyebrow-raising a transfer it was.
I don't disagree with your point. We don't need to chop and change every speed bump in the road. Last year he brought us back to the Champions League while performing well in the league. Based on that he deserves a chance to make things right.
So we are supposed to write off last season (the one where he secured UCL football and got to 2 cup finals without a proper CF) based on 5 games this season because?
We don't have to sack him yet, bit we also don't have to treat him like some infallible Messiah. He has some credit .
Who is treating him like an infllible messiah by the way? The fans who think after 5 games into a season where we have a clear injury crisis its harsh to be questioning his job?
