And ETH took our very worst team ever to third in his very first year and won a trophy ending our 6 year trophy drought in the process and would have won another trophy if not for facing the best team in the world
Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager
- Thread starter sewey89
- Start date
I'll do you one better and write it in reality because ETH will be here come summer. I say so with my full chest and you lot will hang your heads in shame at the end of this season
We should all let @yfoFC post and let him monologue to himself for the next few hours.
I see the concept of ebb and flow and time cycles (peak vs volatile et all) are no longer taught in schools any longer
Let me put it in another manner, the only time your heart moves in a straight line on the monitor is when you're ....
Seems you lot are not truly living and believing real life should be fantasy football and proceed in a straight line
What utter drivel
I'll gladly do that, I've got the day off from work
He took us from 6th to 3rd and mostly played awful and/or boring football. Hardly a miracle worker. But he for sure is a record breaker (Fergie can’t/couldn’t even dream of even coming close to ever breaking all the records ETH has already broken in such a short period, I will give you that).
Can't even win against a Mickey mouse club. At this point I don't think we would do much worse without a manager tbh or perhaps using AI to set the tactics.
Yeah I don't think we are gonna see any signings under the new recruitment structure in January,therefore can't really judge if there's any difference until the summer window. We need to see more of a defined style of play at some point.
Erik does have to take some criticism for taking off Rasmus for Mount. The problem was he clearly doesn't trust Martial to lead line so no idea what the answer is
Surely he doesn’t survive this? In many ways good teams make their own luck even when the chips are down.
I am sure he will only be around because of the dead zone due to the changes in ownership. The final nails will be the Bayern and Liverpool back-to-back games.
Oh come on. You've been on the ETH out bandwagon for over a year.
I think a lot of our fans have quickly forgotten how our team can easily fold in 2nd halves of games. Playing well prior to the sending off didn't guarantee we were gonna win.
I’d still give him time. The team has been decimated by injuries. I’ll reserve full judgment for how we look a few months into having a near full roster to choose from. Obviously it’s not looking good for him that much is clear and his major signings floundering is a grave sign.
Nonsense.
Also very true. We've hardly been a team of composure even last year. It's been a damning trait of ours since the Jose years when he'd park the bus to see out games.
He has no control over his destiny. Like the previous managers who were fired.
Has overstayed at this point. Time to go.

I think for a season Ole's team had the best record in the league for coming back to win after falling behind.
Ummmm.......what? I'm not the smartest person by any means, but, what in the name of drivel is this?
We were so good until the red card and pretty good for a while after it. Then all turned to shit.
Evans was a big loss. I would fancy us win the game with him even though we were reduced to 10. Evans has been an on-pitch coach.

I'm still willing to give him time. Tonnes of stuff has gone against us right from the pre-season, granted some are of his own doings. Hopefully we have a good second half of the season once we get back our defence.
Also longest away unbeaten record.
Yet in the minds of many Caftards, it was the worst team in United's history. 3rd and 2nd
You know it's bad when opposition fans are spending an entire day in this thread to convince us that the fraud is still the right man.
It’s pretty clear that Manchester United football club cannot basically lose every other game they play which has essentially been the case all season. He will be gone within six weeks.
Liverpool had an over-the-hill Brazilian midfielder at the heart of their team that shit season. They sold him, got the hell away from Mount, signed that Hungarian kid and MacAllister and now they're back.
What's ETH's plan for our over-the-hill Brazilian midfielder he signed for a ton of money just last year and Mount whom he splurged on but doesn't know how to use?
Yup. And being indulged in doing so.
Really? How do you work that one out. Didn’t Arteta win a trophy first time with Arsenal?
Who is the right man?
Agree.
I felt sorry for him tonight. That was an excellent 40 minutes, probably the best I’ve seen from us since the Spurs game last season. We were moving the ball quickly and every pass in midfield was a positive, probing one, the link up play out wide was good too. Players like Eriksen, Garnacho and Rashford looked rejuvenated and then one refereeing decision blows the performance apart. We started the second half well too but with 10 men it was always going to be a testing last 15 or so minutes and so it proved.
Can always pick out individual moments that cost any goal but it just looked to me like a natural defending deeper to protect a lead and eventually just could not hold out.
Unless until the transfer business is improved, nothing is going to improve.
The issue is how ETH set us to defend deep is not good.
As soon as we scored 3-2, Hojlund should have been subbed out for either Mount (deployed as LW) or Lindelof (switch to back 5), so Garnacho would be move up top. Garnacho doesn't do defensively to help out when we're already one man down. Individual wise, it's solely on Dalot for inept man marking; but on tactical side, ETH almost set us up defending deep like with 9 men with Garnacho on LW not knowing how to drop deep and get involved.
When Hojlund eventually got subbed off after the 3-3 equalizer, strange enough Mount got deployed as CF/false 9. The whole thing is just bizarre.

Very difficult to manage when we are losing due to individual moments in matches. That has been the downfall the whole season and some ridiculous officiating. In terms of luck we're at rock bottom and surely it cannot go down any further.
The narrative about bad luck and refs being to blame that some are trying to push, is very rawkish and sad. Use your eyes and you'll see there are far bigger issues than refs and "bad luck"
I’ve come to the conclusion that Ten Hag is one of those managers who’s very good when things are going well but hopelessly lost when they’re not.
Last night the team completely collapsed when Rashford was sent off. It didn’t need to, but clearly we didn’t know how to play with 10 men. Other clubs don’t collapse, why do we? Because Ten Hag clearly hasn’t schooled them in how to play with 10 men.
I’m done with him.

What does "got the hell away from Mount" mean, since both them and Arsenal were very interested in him?
Means Mount is a pointless footballer.
Care to elaborate?
Check the Mount thread. Has been elaborated a million times. A manager who makes Mount his priority signing in midfield when it's clear to every man and his donkey that we need a different profile of midfielder deserves no mercy as such.
What pisses me off so much is how much money we’ve wasted under ETH. We’ve already gone through 2 summer windows and should be almost done with building a competitive team by now, instead we are struggling to get out of the cl group stage, 8th in the premier league, out of the league cup and still losing consistently to our rivals.
