Nah don't worry we won't.See how it'd go? Mate. If we stick with this we might end up in the Championship, and I am not kidding.
Where are we voting ?Ah yes, because us “Keep” voters on a football forum is exactly why Ten Hagg has remained in the job. Arnold reviews this forum to decide whether we sack him or not.
Great take.
If it happens again and again, maybe you're the one with the problem.Imagine dating someone and it's a disaster and clearly not working but sticking with them because your previous relationships also were a mess.
That is looking like a mistake, if you are considering the lack of tenacity in the middle.Bring back Fred.
You don’t rate Amrabat?The only player that should still be here after the january window is Höjlund. The rest needs to be forced out or just plain bought out, we wont get anywhere with this rot inside the club.
ETH is not the right guy, but there is no one else to hire
There's a poll in the United forumWhere are we voting ?
Honestly, I don't think this has anything to do with the players. This is tactical and it's been that way all season.I don´t know if 10Hag is a right manager. I know our squad isn´t anywhere as good as it should be. But im sure one of the main problems are players attitude. Fecking lazy primadonnas, after a huge paycheck. Ready to throw manager under a bus. It has been like this already 10 years. If we will sack 10Hag and hire a new manager, it will be same. At least as long as it is not someone like Zidane. They don´t respect manager, they don´t respect fans. They think they are bigger than club. This club needs full rebuild from bottom to top.
The xg looks a fair reflection of what I saw but fair play to Newcastle taking their chances so well, and the piddling nature of our defending also made the good chances they did get a lot easier. Longstaff was one of the only Newcastle players who didn't look like scoring one out of nothing tonight, and oddly enough he's also the only one we've ever shown an interest in purchasing! We do love signing huffers who can't finish.Tweet

Three players who never score all fire fecking laser beams into the side netting. Feels like every week a graphic pops up showing how it's the dogshit player who has just scored against us's first goal in professional football or whatever.Tweet

Ten Hag is playing real life FM. Buying his favorites for far too much money, struggling to sell anyone for a decent price, looking at stat charts, delivering press conference lines, trying to beat the tactic regression bug by switching things up and getting FM'ed by players who haven't scored in 37 games and what not.Three players who never score all fire fecking laser beams into the side netting.

I don't know how we can somehow manage to be so shit and so unlucky at the same time.
I wish I'd forgottenI was so busy today I totally forgot about this but I'll take that as a blessing. Sorry to all those who had to suffer through it. It's very sad when you're beyond feeling disappointed. It's just numbness now.
That does sound about right!Ten Hag is playing real life FM.

I think the way we are now the routine of a corner shop would be beyond us.That does sound about right!
All we really need to do is play gegenpressing, sign a few decent newgens and set up a nice little corner routine that exploits the match engine. I know just the man for the job:

Great post and I agree completely. Our players seem to constantly be in a disadvantaged position, outnumbered and likely to fail. Contrast this with a team like Man City, where their players seem to always be in a position to make something positive happen. When entire squad is like this (good or bad), it almost certainly comes down to coaching/tactics. What seems to have happened with our players is they all have experienced so much failure this season that now they have all played themselves out of form.Honestly, I don't think this has anything to do with the players. This is tactical and it's been that way all season.
Fans expect players to go out and perform whilst either following directions that aren't being communicated properly or aren't good. There is literally no indication that players are purposely not performing. What is quite clear is that we have massive gaps between attack and defence. Casemiro hasn't been able to cover that space all season. Losing Shaw and Licha seems to have totally disabled our ability to play out of the back, which much weaker teams can do. Teams have been able to hurt us on cutbacks and drives through midfield. We've also consistently lost the midfield battle in almost every game. Fans like to cry about players, but Rashford, Bruno and Hojlund aren't in the build up play.
What has been suggested is that we haven't been able to play decent football since 2 members of our backline have been injured. Yet we can watch teams with lesser players than Varane, Licha, Maguire, Dalot, AWB, Malacia and Shaw do this. Last season, the same excuse was used for the striker position. Every element has to be perfect for us to even look like a decent team, whilst I can watch Spurs, Brighton and Villa play well.
A poor team of players is what Chelsea look like. They can dominate games, but have issues scoring and concede weak goals due to defensive lapses and an inability to finish chances. Their players are still able to move the ball quickly enough and spread it around the pitch. Their issue is that when moments of quality are needed, their lack of quality shows. I can tell you how they attack, how they set up, how they build up and how they attempt to defend. I could do that somewhat with United last season, but since Erik started trying to transition, I haven't been able to see that. As fans we re confused, but so are the players.
Our fans always seem to want to praise managers and dish our on players when things don't go well. I'd argue that our arrogance in needing to feel less cold than other top teams has led us to try and make every manager we have the next Messiah. It's ok to run through managers until you get the right one. The Glazers actual mistake over the last ten years has been them not getting involved with the club on these type of issues. You sack managers when your team performs this badly for this long. A manager should fear that.a manager should know that poor performances won't be tolerated and as a result not take risks like bringing in Mount or Antony. Or break up a system that was working to experiment on transition. That's what happens when managers feel too comfortable. IMO the standard that's fallen isn't just about our players, but the lack of pressure put on our managers
