Does the signing of Mount make sense to you? Do you think Onana is a top keeper?
ETH will not be sacked before Christmas, most likely not before the season is over.

Incredible achievement for the plucky underdogs with a team bought for hundreds of millions to look competitive
I thought Ole was a chicken, but Ten Hag is even worse. My God. I wonder what it takes for him to drop the Eriksen/Casemiro combo?
Well he could play McTominay instead, oh wait he did that last game
Or maybe Mejbri should start allt games
We don't have anyone else until Amrabat + Mainoo are back and people will complain anyway if a game is not won
Anyone who moans about a proper football structure doesn't understand modern football. I wouldn't take them seriously.
The common denominator of our failings has been the Glazers and their yes men in charge. If every manager (including some of the best in the world) fails then surely something is rotten in the club.
I would actually argue his ideas for reinforcing the team are spot on (with the exception of Mount) it's the fees we paid which is the issue. Do you think EtH decides how much we spend on each transfer? Of course not.
Gore. Take a fkn risk. Believe in your fkn players.
And I even understand the reluctance to play the kids away to Bayern. But after watching the complete lack of energy and running, you gotta make a change. You absolutely have to. And Mejbri did fine the last chance he got.
This really is poor ( from BBC)
Your opinions of ETH do not matter at this stage
The most important thing for all fans is to rally for Glazers Out!
Only once the leeches are gone can the club revitalize

More like a bald average Formula 3 driver who thinks he is Schumacher.
Have to agree. No idea why Mjebri didn’t come on and Garnacho was on so late.
This is unfortunately the case.
To be honest, if that doesn't work, then we're fecked beyond this season actually as Casemiro and Eriksen are clearly done.
He doesn't decide the price tag but he went on with such transfers knowing they will be overpriced and will eat the majority of his budget, so when these players flop it's ultimately his fault for persisting with them.
Ten Hag options suck. He signed two over the hill midfielders as short term stop gap and now both look done. He signed Antony who has been awful, just because he managed him before. He signed Mount, whom he himself seems to have no clue how to use him. Malacia is a waste of space and now Onana doesn't even strike me with confidence anymore that he can still be considered a good business, looks an awful shot stopper. Up till now only Martinez has been a successful business.
He just added more duds to the club that we'll have to get rid of in few years time.
And play who? Hannibal, who was playing averagely in the Championship last season? McTominay, who was terrible against Brighton.
Ten Hag will have to take the blame for how we’re playing tactically, but I don’t see the point in bashing him when we have nine players out.
Schumacher.. one of the greatest F1 drivers of all time
ETH.. a fraud from the dutch league..
Yeah.. its the same.
But then the fans would complain that the owners are forcing ETH to work with players that he did not want.
He looks broken 
Yeah well, so does the team he's squandered £400m onHe looks broken
Which games are these?
To be fair I support Ten Haag and think he is the coach to take us out of this dark period. But when you see the same mistakes and players not running back into position or even looking bothered about their performance its one or two things. Either he can't see the problem and fix it, or the fix that he is trying the players don't execute.He’s done a good job tonight considering the injuries and can’t do anything about Onana having a howler!
Feels like he is slowly losing the team, which is not like we haven't seen it before... (Mourinho, Ole, Ragnick).
In the first 10 minutes Pellistri can't convert from 3 yards.
When you consistently fluff chances like this it is not the manager's fault.

He is really staring down the barrell now and its not the results. It's the performances. They are getting increasingly hopeless. There is nothing to hold on to for future games. The only thing we have left is injuries and basically praying that the injured players come back and dramatically turn the performances around. I genuinely cannot confidently tell you where our next win is going to come from and i've only ever felt this way just before our managers have gotten the sack in rhe past.
Seems like this discussion boils down to who is ultimately responsible for transfers. I say it's Arnold, Murtough, and the Glazers, you say it's ETH.
Going forward, if we don't change how we operate in terms of recruitment, this cycle will continue indefinitely. We've spend what, 400 mil but still are being held back by the signings made during the previous manager's reign.
There's this collective delusion on the Caf that we deserved to win the Arsenal game but just got unlucky. I'm seeing similar sentiments about the game tonight, even though we were light-years away from leaving with a win.
Ah the usual knee jerk reactions yet again...Ten Hag out...Glazers out..blah blah...things will get worse before they get better...TH has not has his best team available yet and when he does and results stay the same....I'll agree BUT he hasn't had that luxury yet...the alternative is to continue on the magic roundabout...New manager c...clearcut.. Repeat process...we need to suck this up and be patient...Sack the board tomorrow would be a more intelligent move and appoint a DOF with a long term strategy in place.
I say let them complain. Managers get players they don't want all the time, it's all about the profile of player identified. Klopp famously wanted Brandt (I think) instead of Salah.
The equivalent for us was last summer when ETH wanted DeJong. Clearly he wanted that profile of player but we then turned around and signed Casemiro, a very different midfielder.
It'd be like if Klopp wanted Brandt and Liverpool signed Ivan Toney instead.
Maybe they are not that good ...?
The mighty Forest
The players are still with him I feel and they showed some fight at least. There are moments where we look decent in games but you can't be a great transition team that wastes easy opportunities to score first and then concedes the first goal with horrific mistakes though.
I hope the fans, the players and the club stick by him. We've got a massive injury crisis and need these players back.

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag to TNT Sports:
- "Disappointed because we should stay in the game. If you score three goals at Bayern Munich you have to take a point.
- "We are in a period, a lot is going against us. We have to make our own luck. We've played great teams in the last three games."
- On Andre Onana accepting the blame in his interview: "It's good he's doing that but it's about the team. Mistakes are being made but you have to bounce back as a team. If one player makes a mistake, it's done, its gone. We have to believe as a team that we can always bounce back. Tonight we showed it."
- On Saturday's game with Burnley: "Every game is important. Every game is huge. We have to make our own luck. Nobody can help you.
- "Stay in the game and don't allow the opponent to score a goal. it's not about one mistake. It was too easy for the player to have the shot."
- On how they can change things: "We, team, me included, only we can do it. It's in our hands, nobody else."
We at least deserve to see what the plan is
Potentially. Not seen enough of them this season, although they looked shaky vs Leverkusen. Actually mad that Leverkusen were much more equipped to handle them than we were.
Injuries didn't help but jheeze
More exasperated having to state the obvious to the players. "Stay focused", "stay in the game". The basics are lost on some of these players.He looks broken
Probably fit players to replace them. Its hard to drop them when your only other option is McTominay who he clearly doesn't rate.
I don’t understand why Eriksen came out for the second.
Give Hannibal a go.
Give Hannibal a go.
Exactly. Same with the Onana goal. If those two incidents go our way we win that game and ETH gets praised.
6 played, 4 losses. Less than ideal.
Worrying thing is that his players knows how to score goals. So there is obviously a problem with his coaching. Our statistical numbers are not great as well. We are underperforming like Newcastle and Chelsea, but the only problem is that the latter teams are doing well statistical than us. Which means that we have more of a coaching problem rather than a player problem.
But, I am still not giving up on ETH. He needs a fully fit 11. Injuries has definitely held us back significantly.

There's no way you could honestly think these are not his signings.
Most sources even have it that the clubs scouts were advising against his signings but overruled
