We haven't had a good manager since Fergie retired. The list is made up of who was the least shit. You can take your pick really.Ole was better, wasn't he?

And it happens every single timeJudging my past experiences, it's usually over for our managers when the previous terrible one starts to look better them.
ETH is proving to be shite, utter shite. But make no mistake, Ole was awful too.Wasn't 'modern' enough and Carrick and McKenna were nobodies.
The gulf is greater though. 79 points to win the title there.Yes, but only if we consider the Premier League years.
Not even close from an All-Time perspective, unfortunately. We've lost more than 20 league matches quite a few times with a 42 match schedule (including a season where we wound up with a goal differential of minus 62!)
Even in the modern era with a 38 match schedule, we lost 16 league matches in Alex Ferguson's third full season as United manager.
I'm assuming this is sarcasm as there were only 10 minutes left when the subs were made.Resting them for future games.
Yeah, but have they accounted for the fact that Ten Hag has had to deal with some injuries? He can't be expected to set up a side to produce the free-flowing attacking football of a Sheffield United or a Burnley with so few resources available to him. Sitting on the edge of your own box and waiting for the inevitable was the right call.Tweet

It will be the international break too then.I personally reckon they’ll give him the game against Pool in the cup, once that inevitability is done with, he’ll get the boot on the following Monday.
Counter attacking with no one running behind or off the shoulder of the defender is novel to be fair.If we go back to only sitting deep and waiting for a counter we can just go back to Mou. At least he knew how to set up a time for that. Anti football
Keep talking nonsense, buddy! But I know you will forever think Ole is awful no matter what.ETH is proving to be shite, utter shite. But make no mistake, Ole was awful too.
We will lose 15 league games this season.We still have to play at Chelsea and Liverpool, Arsenal, Newcastle at home.
He was. Doesn't make him good before anyone jumps in. But he was better.Ole was better, wasn't he?
Yep, as shite as all our other post-Fergie managers. Couldn't even win a cup despite it being served on a silver platter against a rag-tag Villareal side. Our standards are on the floor if you actually consider what he done as a good job.Keep talking nonsense, buddy! But I know you will forever think Ole is awful no matter what.
There is being outrageously naive and then there is being outrageously negative. ETH appears to have found both options and nothing at all in-between.He tried playing a single pivot with Eriksen and Bruno in midfield at the Etihad last season and City walked through our midfield and scored 6. Today was the best starting lineup he could've picked with the options available.
Yeah he has no idea how to set us up for it.Counter attacking with no one running behind or off the shoulder of the defender is novel to be fair.
It was still shit, the fact ten Hag set up is worse doesn't make it any better.Wasn't 'modern' enough and Carrick and McKenna were nobodies.
Played well though apparentlyTweet

But yet some get upset at this simple fact.It was still shit, the fact ten Hag set up is worse doesn't make it any better.
Yep. If they know who they want and we can afford to do it then then they have to get their man in as soon as possible. We don't want another season starting with ready made excuses that he hasn't got the players he wants in time and hasn't had chance to train the squad.Can’t believe INEOS will let ETH continue to let us deteriorate like this for another two months.
There’s more opportunity to train the team now over the last two months of the season than there will be in the summer, which will be dictated by the Euros, Copa American and our pre-season tour.
If you want to see a proper change for the beginning of next season, you need to start now.
I disagree, we didnt actually seem to have any tactics at all today and were only so defensive as City exploited our lack of any tactics or game plan and forced us to be.The tactics we used today were the only ones we could've used in the absence of a serious goal threat on the other end. If you don't have a striker, your only hope is to defend and hope to nick a goal on the counter, which worked for the better part of the first hour.
It's progress though, ten hag cultists wouldn't accept he was worse until recentlyBut yet some get upset at this simple fact.
That can’t be a real quote. What the feck.
Reminds me of Van Gaal's delusion towards the end of his time. At the end of the season he was talking about summer signings like he was going to still be around.
He should've said "these lot are shit and I can't wait to sell half of them". They clearly seem like a bunch that respond well to public criticism.
