How did he throw him to the wolves? He granted him 2 months off last season to focus on himself and protected him from the media. Imagine having the audacity to even complain on social media when you were given preferential treatment.
He also wanted a load shipping out including Pogba, Martial and Sanchez, so at least he knew they had to go.
Yeah but Mourinho was right about Shaw at the time. Perhaps it was the kick up the arse Shaw needed. Good players will respond to criticism by wanting to prove people wrong. Losers like Martial and Sancho get defensive and sulk, thinking they are never to blame
Not Sancho, other players like Maguire or McTomminay. Limited players who can't do the job he wants them to do so therefore he has no use for them. Sancho's a waster and needs booting out ASAP.
He brought in Sanchez though!
He did it to himself.You've made marktan look an utter wally there
I mean, people here keep saying we need to cull the deadwood. If they're limited in his view and can't do the job he wants, what's the problem?
I did want Sancho too, but a good amount on here said he'd displace Rashford from our first XI and I argued plenty of times that Rashford's a better player than him(prior to the move).
You win then.
That is true.
We do need to cull them, they're not good enough to play for us, but between now and next summer (maybe longer) they do, so during that time you need to get the best out of them otherwise they will get you sacked.
Sometimes players can't adapt to the pressure.
You believe Ten Hag deliberately hangs players out to dry in matches so we can lose to prove a point?
No, I believe Ten Hag can't adapt to the players he has because he only sees one way to play the game, and then he gets pissed off with the players that can't do what he wants them to do so he gives them multiple chances to adapt and they can't because they're too limited.
While that is true, that doesnt really account for his drop in fitness levels in my opinion.
Feck Dortmund, massive disrespect to them and their shitty little selling club with zero ambition. They create an environment where it's okay to fail because you can leave for Bayern at some point on a free anyway.
Almost as though man management involves different approaches for different people. Crazy, right?
Don't you think he adapted last season though?
I don't think it's a drop from his fitness levels.
I think it's quite obvious Martial can't physically do more than he did yesterday, he's completely shot at this level, his body has given up. There's no value in saying he didn't do enough when the reality is he would probably hurt himself if he did any more. Sancho on the other hand has no excuses for being a lazy bastard.
He did to a degree last season after it went to shit, and then we still tried it at multiple points later in the season, like the Sevilla debacle. He always reverts back to his ideals instead of coming up with a game plan to win the game. It's like playing out from the back is more important to him than winning the game sometimes.
I think there is a clear drop, and I think the reason is that he isnt professional enough, like you allude to in your comment.
I genuinely forgot about the Marcus one, mainly because he didn't make a big deal out of it!
But by your admission, we stopped doing it vs Arsenal after our substitutions.
Pretty up sums up Jason Sancho. It’s fine being super talented and having all the technical quality in the world but if you aren’t filling to compete and fight on the pitch then you won’t make it - at least not at the highest level. If this is the best he can muster after all the patience we’ve had with him then he should just head back to the Bundesliga where attackers are given the red carpet treatment.
Oh please. It was hardly anything. He’s said he did
Rashford even admitted he was at fault.
I know, and that's just one example which was good, but we didn't change shape, we should have packed the midfield in front of them to protect them and force Arsenal into crossing the ball so Maguire and Evans could win the headers (play to their strengths) then wait for the right moment to counter and do Arsenal at the death. I don't feel that Ten Hag is willing to make those tactical changes in the game because it goes against what he stands for.
Sancho hasnt been good, maybe even as you described him but my barometer is based on what the greatest manager would do. SAF would have said FA, and Sancho would be gone in Jan...
I don't usually do this, but
I’ve never made a mistake like that
Exactly.
There's nothing out of character in this.
No one could afford his wage or willing to pay up such wage, unless maybe we are taking big portion of off transfer fee. It’s going to be Maguire’s summer situation all over again but worst.
And that's the problem. Normally he wouldn't, most managers wouldn't. Usually he/ they keep it behind closed doors.
