Shameful performance today and so clueless. So afraid to play the youth, relying on mid table players he knows from the past and trying to set up not to lose. I would much rather be smashed going for it than just beaten 3-0 by a team that doesn’t have to get out of 1st gear.
Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

I agree. I’ve been a supporter, but whether or not he has the players, this team has clearly regressed under his watch. And frankly, he has chosen his signings the last two years for the most part, so he can’t argue he hasn’t had a major part in the construction of his squad. Think he is nearing the end if we don’t see a significant turnaround in the next couple weeks.
Even if they were, he has managed to assemble a bunch of poor players with poor mentality, they were never good enough to compete and his inept tactics and lack of direction has shown through.
Everyone on the planet could see taking off Amrabat instead of Eriksen or Mcominay was suicide. No idea what he’s thinking leaving Varane out. Looks like the beginning of the end.
He should be sacked just for the signing of Antony. Has to be among the worst in the history of the club.
How much money does ETH have to spend on players he doesn't want before he gets the ones he does want?
Who do we even get to replace him at this point? Who'd even take the spiked throne of Man Utd?
My bad - missed that. In which case, I suppose we didn’t have any other defensively minded midfielders to bring on.
Captain Hindsight would have said Hannibal’s energy and bulldogery may have been useful in there but admittedly I’m unsure if I’d have committed to saying that at HT.
It's some achievement that we've gone backwards since then and now have an even worse squad after spending £400m.
There's no contest. Surely no-one would argue that ETH has done better. You might believe he's a better manager but judged on their United time, Solskjær is streets ahead.
I mean, I've had two taglines in a row meant to be insulting just because I've expressed these opinions. It does seem a bit, I don't know, precious?
Yes
Big Sam.
Was it!!
This reminds me of a 2-0 loss against City at home where we literally played the exact same way. ETH ain’t the guy that we hoped for
He bought Maguire, James and Fred. He started this whole fiasco.
The writing should have been on the wall for ETH when he started bringing in his own Ajax players, raiding the Dutch league. Same as Moyes just going in for Everton players and LVG crap Dutch players. For me it shows the job is too big for them. How can he not understand that just because Anthony was decent in his Ajax team doesn’t make him anywhere near good enough for Untied.
He should be sacked. Don’t get what he’s trying to achieve or what style he’s trying to get this team playing.
Could we get a decent interim manager where he at least has the balls to drop some of our so called star players? Just like Carrick did in his first game in charge when he benched Bruno immediately
Needs to go
Anyone still defending this guy is clueless, he’s the biggest of frauds.
We were unfair to Ole, this clown is actually worse.

If we have any sense, Nagelsmann. But more than that, Murtough and Fletcher need to earn their pay or feck off too. Players like Rashford, Bruno Mctominay, Lindelof, Dalot, Martial don't deserve a clean slate
Fraud is what fraud does.
It might be time to go. That was appalling. We look totally lost, void of any sense of being a team. Decision making from him is bonkers, everything looks off.
Really can’t see him turning it around from here.

I agree with you. We at least knew what we were good at. Now we sit back and don’t hit on the counter
I’m all honesty I think he’s out his depth with our club. Tactically not the level we need perhaps.
I'm sick of dis Robbie.
There was an Ajax fan on here when we were linked to ETH, forgot his username, but he was right about everything he said about ETH
Dead man walking and Grade A snake oil salesman. He better make the round of 16 in the CL or he could be gone before January.
It's for him, as far as I'm concerned. We'll just have to actually wait and see when his inevitable departure date is.
Such a disappointing season. An absolute crock of shit.

Yeah yea yee we were disappointing, but in first half we created chances mct was close we need to improve we need to score.
That's what ETH will tell in post match , but won't tell any solution to the problem's

The end of Ole was shite. This is no different. Hopefully we see the same end result.
Show us something—anything that justifies hiring you.
To be this shit after spending 400 million is an achievement.
They are very petty, but that's the norm nowadays across the internet. Mods think they can police opinion and morality.
Needs to go
Poor signings, poor style of play, poor team selections and subs.
ETH out.

Do you think you can play like City if you have players like Sancho? No. Do we want to aspire to play that way, get rid of every player refusing to follow instructions. Even if we get rid of EtH because he cannot make the players do what he wants, what hope is there for any other manager? Having said that EtH really needs to explain how Reguilon and Varane not playing was tactical.
Are people allowed to criticize his summer transfer window now on this site? 
This is just so offensive. The lineups, the subs, the decisions. None of it makes sense
Last season I kinda thought I knew what he wanted but this is as dull as Jose last season or eth during that Xmas period.

Could he walk himself? Looks totally lost, surely he knows he's a lame duck at this point.
My patience is getting real thin now. Keeps picking the same dross players, some players seem to just get in based on their name rather than performance.
Keeps making the same dumb mistakes again and again.
