What personnel we have available or not hasn't really changed the way we've played all season, we might play marginally better when we have more first choice players to pick from but it hasn't been a night and day difference where you can see what the team would play like if only we had less injuries or signed x, y and z.
Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager
- Thread starter sewey89
- Start date
I remember getting laughed at for saying they'd finish above us a long time ago.
When the options were available (Rashford), Antony was dropped. The only reason he is starting now is because A. Rashford has also been dreadful and B. he is injured.
Ineos made a litany of mistakes at Nice so it'll be a very bad sign if they cant see the wood for the trees this early in their reign.
They are above us.
I disagree. I mean surely there's a manager out there that will make us more organised and difficult to play against, come up with some sort of patterns of play and different plans if plan A isn't working. Sick and tired of this injury excuse. Even with the injuries we've had we shouldn't be playing this badly for the majority of the season with absolute zero progression or adaptation. At least get the best out of the players you've got available, it's what decent managers do.
His reason for this is “I dont want to change how the team plays then when players come back we have to change again” erm mate, so you would rather lose games? He is incredible stubborn for no good reason.
Then they should have paid up for a viable alternative
He's about to cost us another £30m+ by not qualifying for Europe. The money isn't there to just sack him now.
Newcastle are only just above us and they are the only other team with an injury crisis like ours. They were a shambles when their injuries mounted up. Name another team with so many injuries all season?
Oh wait, you're serious.
We're going to finish this season on worse than -10 goal difference I reckon.
What about the players that were at the club under Ole's last season and decided not to perform for Rangnick? Do they keep getting a free pass?
Chelsea
We have consistently fielded teams with at least 7 and usually 8-9 of our first choice players available, and have been almost without exception pathetic.
I haven't watch a match in nearly 2 months. It's pointless unless you're into sadism.
It's the same match over and over where we are completely exposed by every opponent. We then have 30 shots dropped on us and deservedly lose, or manage to pull a draw out of our ass because we still have some talented players that sometimes shine through in spite of whatever this nonsense is that ETH has cooked up in his child-like brain and has the audacity to try and pass as EPL level tactics.
Lose tonight and no matter what happens we will have less points than Moyes had in 13/14…that’s damning
Grow yourself some balls
Indeed. There is not one game in the whole season where it has looked anywhere near a good strategy. Even if we cherry picked all the best players in the league, it would still be a god awful formation.
It's crazy to think people actually exist who are this delusional
Whether said in jest or off the back of emotions, there's absolutely nothing we excel at under him to warrant his stamp or definition on the team - him seeing out the season has to be based around financial issues because there is zero on the football side to keep him in the job beyond tonight.
And what is the point of SJR coming in if not exactly to use his own money as the richest man in the country would or should?
cannot see Utd getting another win under ETH this season until his inevitable sacking after the FA cup final. In fact, I don't even think they'll get another point in the remaining league games.
Of course they are. Miserable stuff.
Liverpool would run us pretty close.
He isn't the sole owner
I'll keep watching. But I mentally checked out months ago and it'll likely remain that way until he goes, unless he stays and manages a complete turnaround, which looks a pipedream.
We were laughing at Chelsea and now they're above us.
He said dynamic and entertaining?
We're being dicked around by Palace. How can anybody want this to continue into next season?
It is unbearable.
He’s gone
Because Arteta or Fergie or some other random bullshit based on nothing but delusion
Sack him while we still have the chance to snatch FA cup to save us from completely embarrassing season.
100% gone
Yes. Thomas Frank. Brentford dominated us a few weeks ago with 10 first team players out.
I voted Yes because I genuinely dont think any manager will get that win over city with this squad let alone ETH
Sacked in the morning please.
Yeah sure, it's just the injuries
Wow. fecking wow.
