I think mentality is more down to the player.True. But we've such a weak mentality. Is that down to him or is it something more complex?
An entire season and we didn't played well or enjoyed even 1 game of unitedTweet

Absolutely. He made maguire look like a prime Kyle Walker in comparison.We really need the Saudi clowns to still be throwing insane wads around in the summer.
Otherwise Casemiro has 3 years left on insane wages and is only getting less mobile. Today was frightening, even at the "cigar" position at the back, against a lower league team.
I dont think Alonso or Zidane want us to be fair.Alonso, Amorim, or Zidane. Until any of these guys sign on the dotted line, they're still available and we can probably pay much better than most.
True. But we are only at our best for about 5 to 10 games each season.Tweet

I would have to disagree, we have been throwing away leads all season and even last season we were getting spanked by Liverpool, man City, Brighton when we had martinez and varane fit, we have been mess defensively far too much under ten hagTo be honest coaching was not the issue today. Even though ETH should go. Complacency and lack of discipline at 3-0 up was the issue. Players started doing their own thing.
They certainly wouldn't want United run by the Glazers and Woodward, which is what most still perceive. Once Ashworth and everyone else are in place, that could change quickly.I dont think Alonso or Zidane want us to be fair.
Mate this shtick is tedious, give it a rest. Even without assinging blame my point is the fact it happened along with the Rashford incident are the objective events. They did happen didn't they? So in your opinion has stamped out disciplinary issues within this squad?It is my opinion, but again you're trying to pass your opinion off as "objective events". I don't think you're being fair about the Sancho thing, for which you apportioned blame to Ten Hag. He gave a relatively tame answer in a press conference that amounted to Sancho not playing himself into the first team in training, after which Sancho went scorched earth. I'd have backed any manager in that situation every time.
Well we all hope, but in that case we can't actually say that there will be a tangible benefit to him persisting with this system all season. Yeah we might eventually learn another system, but that will most likely be when we get a new manager in.I didn't say there isn't any tangible benefit, I was explicit that there hopefully is, eventually. The benefit is that we'll eventually learn another system. No matter who comes in, we'll have to spend some time learning anything that isn't a mid block, which will come with pain and some drubbings. Whether Ten Hag's system, when he's got the players for it and it's sunk in, gives us enough control is up for debate and in fairness I'm starting to have doubts about that,
It doesn't at all. A new system can be implemented at any time. The fact he's stuck with this one will likely mean he won't get another season to implement fully whatever the hell it is he is trying to implement. It's ok to be pragmatic and change tactics to get results and see out the season especially with the injuries we've had. He's basically wrote off this season to dogmatically stick with a system that doesn't work and/or he doesn't have the players to make work. It's silly.but "the system isn't working yet so stop trying" isn't a valid argument for me, as that means playing a mid block forever.
The really annoying thing with Ronaldo was there was talk of selling him to the Saudis for a decent fee, yet he ended up going there for free.Absolutely. He made maguire look like a prime Kyle Walker in comparison.
Here’s hoping we can get some return on our initial outlay for a few of them from the Saudis: Casemiro & Varane top of the list. Hopefully their names and reputations still ring loud over there. Get agent Ronaldo on the ringer
Doesn't seem you have one or spine eitherDoesn't seem like you have one at the moment.
Don't be pathetic mate.Doesn't seem you have one or spine either
“You’ve always got a plan, Dutch”There was a plan?
You both just said the same thing to each other, you’re both as bad.Don't be pathetic mate.
Have a lovely day, my time is more valuableDon't be pathetic mate.
Sorry Manchester United only achieved what 3 times?
I genuinely have no idea what they are coming at me aboutYou both just said the same thing to each other, you’re both as bad.
Sir Jim can lend him his Marathon gearI’d have made him walk home after that.
I JUST NEED EVERYBODY TO HAVE A LITTLE FAITH....“You’ve always got a plan, Dutch”
I am confused about that actuallySorry Manchester United only achieved what 3 times?
Damn. Hopefully we can generate some good money with sales (don’t bet on it) to perform that surgery on the squad.The really annoying thing with Ronaldo was there was talk of selling him to the Saudis for a decent fee, yet he ended up going there for free.
Varane would be a free transfer, but you'd hope there's some sort of fee for Casemiro.
We again need real surgery in the summer though. Strength, pace, mobility and mental fortitude are hugely needed. We don't have many players who show all 4.
I think you go with a formation change and possibly and extra CB. At 3-0 you just need to see the match outI dont think that taking off two teenagers who have played a lot of games when 3-0 ahead against a midtable Championship team is bad. I actually think it is good. One of the critisms people love to use against ETH (even before it became this sack the Pep Guardiola is my idol witch hunt we have now) is that he is running his players into the ground by playing them too much and not rotating. Taking off teenagers and bringing in internationals (or former in Antony his case) arent bad subs. I was happy with the subs although i would have prefered Amad instead of Antony at that stage. I want ETH to take care of Mainoo and Garnacho so they are fit for the final. Garnacho had a slight injury last week too.
Antony and Eriksen were dreadfull when they came on. Awb could have put a Coventry shirt on and he would have been their MOTM. That was the problem, not the subs.
Pretty sure the exact quote was ‘in the last ten years’ but not sure.Sorry Manchester United only achieved what 3 times?
Back to back finals?Sorry Manchester United only achieved what 3 times?
I assume he means "won the FA Cup final". He thinks he's Fergie now.Sorry Manchester United only achieved what 3 times?
Getting spanked by pool and City and losing a 3-0 lead are not the same thing.I would have to disagree, we have been throwing away leads all season and even last season we were getting spanked by Liverpool, man City, Brighton when we had martinez and varane fit, we have been mess defensively far too much under ten hag
Well that would make sense.Pretty sure the exact quote was ‘in the last ten years’ but not sure.
