Mate, you’re literally wasting your time. If people can’t see it at this point they will never see it. Even after he gets sacked they’ll be saying he should have been given more time. They’ve subscribed to the cult of personality, and they of the opinion the players need to be dragged kicking and screaming into success because they don’t want to achieve.
Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager
- Thread starter sewey89
- Start date
Felt the same way
Look at this snapshot. We have 6 players in the box. They have eight inside and around the box. Eight!
Anyone else feel that we love defending with a straight line of players and it never works?
When we are defending set pieces we also love defending with a straight line of players and all balls cleared surely go to the opposition
Greenwood hasn't played a match under Ten Hag he was never a factor or shouldn't have been in his planning. Ronaldo leaving left him a man short but he was 37 it's not like he was planning to build the team around him. Sancho could have been disciplined (fine/ban) and then brought back into the squad. It was Eriks decision to freze him out completely and then loan him.
We are going nowhere with ETH. Not sure he is worth keeping any more. The sooner we replace him with a better manager the better.

What a clown
What a clownGreat post
How many goals like this have we conceded now? And yet the other teams still get half a dozen of these opportunities every single game. Doesn't matter if it's Liverpool, Villa, Luton or Wigan.
Because we have a manager who is criminally incompetent and doesnt know how to set up a team to defend at this level of football.
Doesn't matter show shit Maguire, Lindelof, McTominay etc are. They did not defend at this sunday league standard prior to Hag.
frankly, as a fan, i was hm ashamed. There was something wrong with this goal
Them Dutch boys catfished us. The biggest heist in football after the glazers acquisition.His post game comments
Wasn’t that bad this time, was it?His post game comments
Were you not calling people 12 year olds for having perfectly valid points about how badly he was setting up the team 6 months ago?
Since then, it’s just been unrelenting evidence that he isn’t up to the task, literally on a weekly basis.
No one should be name calling in this, or any other thread. We all support the same club, but he has proven, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that he isn’t up to the task of coaching the team.
Clinging to a decent start (that still involved absolute hammerings and very obvious tactical frailties) is just damaging the team at this stage. The results are poor, the football is woeful and the stats are damning. We are going nowhere with Ten Hag in charge.

The usual bs tbh
I believe Mainoo would of been right there at thr penalty spot preventing their goal.

It reminded me of Moyes celebration in that home game vs Fulham (81 crosses)
Losers out of their depth
At least he didn’t pretend we had played well, deserved a point and created lots of phantom chances.
I really don't think INEOS will see this and think this is the long-term guy for the job. Even with a structure behind him, I can't see ETH changing much.
I didn't celebrate personally. I was happy for Mount and to score but even if we won it wouldn't have changed the fact this manager has to leave.
if i was to pick one picture to summarize the ETH time with it would be this one

A lot of our injuries have been our own making due to the ineffective pressing in our system and players not knowing what they are doing.
We are also far too reliant on our starting 11 and have not been able to shut out games early allowing for rotation of key players after 60-70 mins.

The obsession with the manager is genuinely perverse.
EtH has 0 ties to the club. Didn’t play for or support us, he was interviewed for the Spurs job a year earlier.
If he leaves he won’t quit football & pine for Manchester United. He’ll take his compensation & move on to manage elsewhere in time.
I thought it was stupid but can sort of understand how someone like Solskjaer tugged at the heart strings but honestly there is nothing about EtH that captivates. His football is shite & he’s ‘happy’ to concede 30 shots in a game.
You don’t have to have ties to a club btw. Fergie didn’t & Klopp doesn’t but they earns the trust/allegiance over time whereas some of our fans spend more time defending the manager of that time then being concerned with the club itself.
I've been heated for sure, 6 months ago I felt the criticism was certainly premature. Unsure about outright calling people 12year olds, it was a long time ago.
Im not going to argue against any criticism now, of course.

It’s his charisma and endearing personality.
Has to go now
I've lost all faith in him

I've been done with him for a while now. I can't see any reason to keep him and no signs of even a glimmer of improvement
I can’t wait to see the back of him. He’s had nearly two years and I see no signs of a foundation. Another awful appointment sadly.
There's no way the players can enjoy playing in that system either.
Rashford and Garnacho are always isolated in 1v2/1v3 and expected to create out of nothing. The midfield are always stranded after pressing high and getting played past, the full backs are knackering themselves with the Sisyphean task of plugging all the holes everywhere. The centrebacks are always exposed. Hojlund barely gets a kick of the ball against organised defences and certainly no crosses to attack.
High intensity football only works if the system works. Otherwise it just demotivates and fatigues the players and you get nothing but 30 shots conceded every game and dozens of muscle injuries.

I knew it. He's one of the most predictably shite managers in the league.

Ragnick said it already. You can’t do a bit of pressing. Either you fully commit or you don’t do it at all

I honestly dont understand why Sir Jim is dragging this out instead of just getting rid of this clown, we are 6th while playing awful Football with no chance of finishing any higher.
Surely Sir Jim cant be happy to see the club he has invested £1.3bn in playing such embarrasing Football.

A lot of comments during the week about sticking with ETH over Southgate etc has quickly turned, if ETH secretly wants out and was alarmed at the comments, it's job done last night at reversing those. We'd expect those type of stats against City or Pool, not Brentford with 17 defeats and 1 point in 18.
Yeah it was pretty obvious after 4 games he was like 'i can't implement my style here'. People blamed Ronaldo but it wasn't just him, although he was an obvious issue. I remember Ronaldo trying to press from the front in one of those early games and then getting angry because the wingers weren't doing it when the ball went out wide. Total lack of coordination and effort.
Spot on.
He probably is genuinely waiting on the rest of the executives to be put in place, and there's likely a CL clause in Eric's contract which would lessen the burden.
Sadly, there's no benefit of sacking him now. We aren't in threat of relegation, so might as well suffer through.
You're acting like this is something new for utd. Remember that amazing win at City followed by a loss to West Brom at home the following week under Jose?
Inconsistency is in the DNA of the club.
This isn't aimed you, but was roasted for still wanting him out despite winning our previous match in dramatic fashion. Every single big club sacks underperforming managers. In fact most do. He's taken us backwards in shambolic fashion after spending 400 mil on his targets.
Yesterday could've been his Watford. He was very lucky our d + onana held up, because one goal and we'd crumble, and could've gotten ugly
If we sack him now we still have a chance of winning the FA Cup, if we keep him weve probably got no chance.
We also seem to love doing the straight line across thing at the other end of the pitch too. But we’ve been like that for several years now. Boggles the mind
