Mate, don't quot me. You talk such nonsense and I've made it abundantly clear you're not worth my time reading them.
Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager
- Thread starter sewey89
- Start date
Eriksen has made a difference tonight. Not due to any tactics just by being a good player who can see passes.
Indeed. Man gets roasted fairly often but people forget about it due to how badly they took offence to the media picking him apart when he first started
No, but hopefully we can do better than gamble on a former Liverpool player with little managerial experience.
He can't and he won't, has no idea how.
Since going 2-0 down you mean and villa happy with us having it now
Agreed. This is peak ETH
Calling it now. Either we do a come back or Villa scores us 2 more at least
Officially you’re probably right but we’re dropping off a cliff and there’s no coming back they’ll make their mind up for next season before long
A -7 goal difference at Christmas is woeful. It you can’t score goals (we can’t) then at least make yourself tough to beat at the back (we aren’t).
His 1st mistake, arguably his most damaging one, was refusing to work with RR.
Name some candidates then.
I’m trying to understand if this Vill high line is suicidal or smart
Sunk cost. Don't think it'll matter to SJR's people.
Smart tactic.
I have seen shit bosses in workplaces do the same. They come from another company and employ their mates from their old firms to insulate them.
I kind of agree that he should have gotten the second season, albeit it was worrying how shit we were after the World Cup.
However, I think it became quite clear in pre-season that he is a bit shit. He should have been sacked in September/October (probably after the defeat from Galatasaray).
It was a total cnut move. He came in acting all alpha but has shown himself to be just another fraud.
Our best bet with him is the new manager finds some purpose for him playing at LB. Otherwise he is going straight to the bench and then on the Daley Blind plan.
No wonder his sack poll still has 46% support with standards like this
Yup, many of us said as much when it happened. Yet another "clean slate" for the underperformers.
Just a terrible manager all round. This is the worst it's been post Fergie. The match going fans have turned now, he's done regardless of what happens in the next couple of games.
Caf was genuinely saying that he is good in the air despite him being in bottom 11 percentile at aerial duels.
The only thing you can say is that we look disorganised and poorly coached. That should be damning for any manager at the top level.
Firing Rangsnick is biggest mistake. WE've gone through another cycle where no one foresees the structure of our football. Rangsnick got the gist of it and was spot on with most of his criticism.
"No club concedes goals like United" sounded like a half joke at time but this is more true than ever

Don’t give a feck what you think of my opinion. Go condescend to someone else.
We are not playing that bad. But after 1 year, Emery has transformed this Villa defence to offside masters, while 18 months later under ETH, we still cant to do the basics as a team.
Precisely. He is a Blind/Heinze player, not a Vidic.
If we keep the tempo of the last few mins up, without conceding a 3rd, ETH might live for another game.
My guess is that team came from the club. Like all strong Ajax sides.
The club has had a clear vision and strategy for decades. Most if not everyone pulls in the same direction.
We can see clearly that he is absolutely clueless outside of that club. We have never looked more lost than this season.
Yes. The whole point of a structure is clearly defined accountabilities.
And you've completely got it wrong. At Real, Bayern and Ajax the footballing isn't there to support a manager or any single individual. It's there to ensure the success of the of the enterprise - and it minimises the risk/liability individuals (specifically the manager) pose to it.
Club > Manager
You're preaching to the choir, mate. I remember last year I was saying how horrible his transfers were and I got so much abuse before people accepted it this season.
We need strengthening in January, but I wouldn't trust him (or Murtough) with another penny.
Unless he agrees to play LB the next manager isn't going to fancy him.
Please leave and take Onana, Hojlund and Antony with you thanks.
If Villa score a couple more second half, that might be the end of him. He looks defeated.
Squad was a mish mash of different profiles prior to coming in but he has made it even worse by adding more deadwood. His reign is going prolong our rebuild even more now.
Can’t wait for the inevitable:
“We know we must do better.” What the feck are we doing each week?
“We know we must do better.” What the feck are we doing each week?
I can't imagine Brexit Jim's team seeing any long-term future at the club for the likes of Onana and Antony, or that they'll be part of any return to success. A failing manager isn't going to be kept on the basis of his failing players. Just throwing 90% of the Ten Hag era in the bin and pretending it never happened would be a net positive at this point.
No doubt he’ll will come in the post-match press conference and say we totally controlled the game and that we played really well, even if we lost 4-0, which is looking likely at this point.
The Rangnick thing was huge as was the cowardly way he changed his tactics after Brentford. People praised that but it effectively killed his authority.
