Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

Our fans just love to moan because it's what everyone else is doing
It's like they have lost the ability to look at things critically and without the heat of emotion
I know football is an emotional game but feck me, the wailing in here is just comical at this point
This game of all games should have been the one to unite us against VAR and shit refereeing but here we are having a melt down and fighting against the person we are supposed to be behind as he's the one that in this moment can change our fortune until or if he's sacked
You lot have lost a key ingredient called loyalty.
Go rewatch the game mate, we literally had them on the ropes till the ref got involved. And for the record, Bayern scraped a 2-1 win here in the dying minutes of the match while Galatasaray walked away with 1 point.
These lads aren't the pushovers everyone seems to make them to be.
The Ferguson excuses are so tiresome. They aren't even worth replying to. We already did thousands of time.
Keep telling yourself these excuses to convince yourself everything is fine.
To who? We've no money to sack him or hire anyone else.
Ten Hag isn't perfect but we just produced our best half of the season until the same old mentality problems cost us again.
I'm not supposed to be behind shit. I support Man United. Ten Hag can feck off from my club.
Brother, people laugh at shit pundits but will they actually do any better?
Most people are just shit at analysis. This game just confirms that for me
This is where we’re at, everything is going against us, even VAR decisions are being looked at different, I’d say there’s a conspiracy against us but surely not…
We had bad days under SAF as with any manager really. But most of them were wonderful. I think we should just compare him with anybody else.
This is another level of bad though. We’re braking every record we don’t want to break. He needs to figure things out, now.
Lindelöf nor Amrabat are actually fullbacks. And I'd argue AWB is first choice RB generally. Granted Dalot played on a flank hes less familiar with, but I would assume him as 3rd choice LB if we had a fit squad.
TBF, I mean it in the context of the tie. While we won 3-2 at home, we lost on away goals. Still pisses me off to this day.
Only 2 other matches do the same for me: that 2-1 against Real in 2013 and that 4-4 against Everton in 2012(that game basically put the ball into Citeh's court and set up the season for that Agueroooo moment).
P.S. Out of posts for today, will reply tomorrow.
One thing I will say is that this was an opportunity to see how he could adapt tactically to a set of challenging circumstances in a high stakes game. Could have been a moment where, when faced with challenging circumstances away in the Champions League, he could have come out with a ton of credit for securing the draw or closing the game out with a win after the Bruno penalty put us back ahead. It could have been a huge moment where we could see his tactical nous and ability to grind out the win.
What did we see instead? We saw Mount coming on for Hojlund, the one player who looked sharp up top and who could have grabbed us another goal on the counter. The one player who would be looking to get his hat-trick after scoring two nice goals already. We saw Amrabat coming on and stinking up the joint. Again. We were too open and were super easy to get through. It was an opportunity to show us what he could do, and he failed miserably to adapt to what was in front of him. Again.

Well it's a good thing I'm not responsible for your ability to grasp things comprehensively.
Is the fraud sacked yet?
He explained pregame that he chose to keep the same lineup sans Antony so as to have consistency and start building routines and patterns between the players in a season of chop and change
And the first 40mins vindicated that decision
We can cry about what happened thereafter but his lineup decision and reason behind it would have been vindicated if not for VAR and shitty spineless referees
I think he’s clearly lost the dressing room.
I was listening to the pod today and Nic mentioned that we are 2 pts off of where we were last year in PL after 11 matches. I did not know that. I guess I’m happy to keep him for the moment. We have had injuries. But his transfers have been subpar and the performances has been shit. I don’t really blame him for today’s result, but, feck me, how much more rope do we give him?
Not at all.. the players just lack confidence at this moment
Get him out already. We've become a laughing stock.
Varane didn’t look like he wanted to even come on today.
Yeah, apart from winning trophies and being a threat to man city
At this point, I've got to wonder whether I'm in the same reality as most fans in here
Dalot just can’t keep concentration when defending. I get playing him in the beginning with a full team and an attacking mindset but playing him when you know we have to stay back and defend (which translates into more dead ball situations) has a high probability of biting you in the arse, as it did today.
You cant be serious. We were playing fecking beautiful attacking football in that game, against one of the best teams in Europe.. How can you compare that with the shite football ETH has us playing against fc copenh fecking hagen.
Bizarre to try and blame the specific events of tonight on EtH. Always easy to trot out the same drivel when we get beat but none of it is relevant tonight. Played well, got some shitty decisions and a couple of our guys fecked up. It’s horrible anyway.
Brother, I'm so glad most of the fans in here are not the ones in charge of making decisions at our club I swearSo in other words, even though we broadly played well today despite circumstances, you have a problem if a poster thinks we might still be ok IF we can keep that performance level up.
I know you're really in a pessimistic stage right now but there's nothing scouse like in knowing our team is capable of good performances.
You can shit on ten hag and the team all you want, you don't get any extra credit for being a negative hipster. I think we played alright all things considered and think we can do well in the remaining games IF we played alright in them.
Big fecking whoop
If you're not a Liverpool fan, you sure sound like one.
Sort of sums it up.
All three were recently given long extensions on large wages, so that's not happening anytime soon.
Thank you bro
Time for Ten Hag to pack his bags. Losing to Luton at the weekend should seal his sacking. The players are turning on him.. Rashford and Varane now..
Ronaldo, Sancho and now Varane.. he's constantly falling out with top players.. terrible in-game management and no man-management..
when the red card happens you get Amrabat on for Eriksen.. it's exactly what Mourinho, Klopp and Peo would do. But Ten Hag is Terrible manager.
tactically clueless. He's just not a good manager. Ajax sold us a dud. Total fraud of a manager. Get him out of the club.

Fulham was definitely smash and grab territory. The performances have been poor, tonight's game was an improvement but it's hardly a benchmark to play well for the first half and then not replicate that in the second, which has happened previously this season even with no red cards present. There was some poor refereeing and VAR decisions.
The highlight of the result tonight was that the manager was unlucky but in cohesion with the group standings the manager is responsible. That's four games bottom of the group. The team has consistently failed to transition the relative success of one game into another so there might not be any positives to take because against Luton the team has the propensity to come out flat and uninspired.
Welcome to the Caf where the opposite of reality holds sway in a some fans' minds
I'm starting to think that the fans being able to watch every match now and being so emotionally worked up after each game is what is killing football and why the likes of Fergie and Wenger will never be replicated again
Bless you for this douse of reality my brother
I'd be a hypocrite to criticise ETH or the team after that. The effort was there, gameplan well executed before and even after the red.
More of that commitment and play style each week and I'll accept whatever result come what may. (All I want to see is the team strive to be competitive).
Refreshing to see.

Bayern, Real and Copenhagen - one of these is not like the others.
They have to keep that anti ETH agenda going, no matter the cost.
Nice one!
If someone like you was in charge, though, Moyes would have completed his 6 years contract.Brother, I'm so glad most of the fans in here are not the ones in charge of making decisions at our club I swear
