Agreed.Garnacho Hojlund Antony is a back up/third choice front line for any big club at best

We had one chance all game and when we got into their third, we did diddly squat. How can anyone not see the clear resemblance to how we were under LVG. Hoping for the attackers to pull something out of their ass and not coach any patterns.Non-threatening? That's not true. We had a clear cut chance in the first half and got into West Ham's final third plenty of times. Despite how poor our attacking players were, Moyes wouldn't have been happy about that.
I think there are managers who knows which players are suitable for EPL. Unfortunately ETH is not one of them.The entire point of the article was about the dereliction of duty by the Glazers and John Murtough. There's not a manager in world football that would ever be given that amount of money to spend on his own targets. They don't know every player that could suit their desired system and defer to the scouts and Director of Football. Every other club has an expert recruitment and scouting structure to identify the areas we're weak in and to shortlist the best targets. We have none of that.
Any manager we appoint will eventually fail if we keep doing what we're doing.
Agree. Shitty manager thinking the same team who hasn't score in 5 games will score. He has himself to blame to assemble this team together.I've lost faith in him. Said last week he stumbled upon a workable midfield only because Bruno got suspended. With Bruno back, he returns to the shitty midfield setup he's gone with the whole season.
Yet 2 of those players cost us 160m quidGarnacho Hojlund Antony is a back up/third choice front line for any big club at best
If you have total control and don't score then you have only done half the job. Would stopping them scoring and coming away with a 0-0 be that much better?
The appointment.I'm actually struggling to understand what truly went wrong.
So why has he changed from the formation he used last season to this new style that isn’t working and hasn’t worked for half a season now?Yes given most of last seasons better players have been missing all season. Martinez, Shaw, Casemiro etc
Only to get rid of the "this is not his team" excuse.The appointment.
It was staring us in the face, a lot of "he played this at Go Ahead, this at Bayern 2, this at Utrecht, this at Ajax" pointed to a coach with no fixed style who would rely on pragmatism and organisation over a fixed style of play.
He then told on himself more obviously with the whole "I don't have the players to do Ajax football" post match interview and still people believe he is going to turn it around. He just needs another half billion of players.
We will do well to make 30We scored 49 in 15/16 under van gaal.
Anyone think we can score 49 this season?
I'm just going off what you said. You said we got into non-threatening positions which I disagreed with. I do; however, agree that we did very little when we got to the final third, which goes back to my original point of our attacking players not being good enough to create something out of nothing.We had one chance all game and when we got into their third, we did diddly squat. How can anyone not see the clear resemblance to how we were under LVG. Hoping for the attackers to pull something out of their ass and not coach any patterns.
You think a draw is worse than a loss?If you have total control and don't score then you have only done half the job. Would stopping them scoring and coming away with a 0-0 be that much better?
We scored 49 in 15/16 under van gaal.

Looking down the league i think i'd take every team's front 3 over those apart from:Garnacho Hojlund Antony is a back up/third choice front line for any big club at best
Who replaces him?Ineos will probably sack him. I don't think it will matter at all over the near term, but I assume they will now use him to make a statement about intent too.
As ETH, that's what you want to see .Ooh you're hard using all caps.
No chanceWe scored 49 in 15/16 under van gaal.
Anyone think we can score 49 this season?
Maybe he didn't like Kudus' agent as he liked Antony's?Crazy how he had Antony and Kudus in the same squad and thought Antony was better.
I remember there was a poster back in the day who said that losing 2:1 away is better than drawing in the CL. Something to do with away goals or somethingYou think a draw is worse than a loss?
If not for Licha, he almost ruined us harder than lvg in the transfer market. And ironically that was only because lvg blocked the Timber move and he ended up with his second choice.Crazy how he had Antony and Kudus in the same squad and thought Antony was better.
The season is done anyway we’re in free fall it could be anyone until the summer.Who replaces him?
I blame the Brazil manager and the Denmark manager because they didn't block Antony and Hojlund moves.If not for Licha, he almost ruined us harder than lvg in the transfer market. And ironically that was only because lvg blocked the Timber move and he ended up with his second choice.
He was right for that competition. For the EPL losses don't help unless you accompany them with several winsI remember there was a poster back in the day who said that losing 2:1 away is better than drawing in the CL. Something to do with away goals or something
That's shocking.If not for Licha, he almost ruined us harder than lvg in the transfer market. And ironically that was only because lvg blocked the Timber move and he ended up with his second choice.
1. We have not really changed the formation that muchSo why has he changed from the formation he used last season to this new style that isn’t working and hasn’t worked for half a season now?
And why wouldn’t those players suffer the same way the starters we do have are suffering now?
None of those are attackers and that’s where we’re suffering, it’s not really an excuse.
No clue mate, and I am not saying it is the best decision, just could see it happening if Ineos really has control of such decisions.Who replaces him?
This is where I’m getting frustrated with Ten Hag. He’s redone his tactics compared to last season which simply aren’t working yet he keeps persisting with it, exactly the same as Mourinho, Van Gaal and Ole did. We are playing with one midfielder at present which is Mainoo. McTominay is taking a false 9 position. Bruno is every where and hasn’t been great for some time. Why not go back to 4-3-3 and drop Bruno for a game. His system over one player? Antony has been awful since he came back, why not start Pellistri or put Bruno on the right so we have a solid midfield 3. We need to win the ball back in midfield quicker and give it to the forward players.So why has he changed from the formation he used last season to this new style that isn’t working and hasn’t worked for half a season now?
And why wouldn’t those players suffer the same way the starters we do have are suffering now?
None of those are attackers and that’s where we’re suffering, it’s not really an excuse.
So you think losing the away leg is better than drawingHe was right for that competition. For the EPL losses don't help unless you accompany them with several wins
It’s not possible for a 2-1 defeat to be better than a draw.He was right for that competition. For the EPL losses don't help unless you accompany them with several wins
I blame the Brazil manager and the Denmark manager because they didn't block Antony and Hojlund moves.
Than a 0 all draw? Absolutely. None scoring draws rarely ended up well for the second leg hosts thanks to the away goals rule.So you think losing the away leg is better than drawing
He was a decent choice. The type of a manager it's worth giving a chance to. Sadly it hasn't worked out, he's completely out of his depth. We just need to accept that and stop with the excuses. -5 goal difference after half a season, 18 goals scored in 18 league games. Literal relegation attack form FFS. We're actually super lucky to be in this table position where we are now.He should never have got the job in the first place. He's 53 years old and has three Dutch league titles with Ajax to show for his entire career.
