It’s hard to shake off the feeling that ETH is doing everything possible to get himself sacked.
That's an extremely apt summary of the state of United right now. To paraphrase the late Sean Lock, it's like wondering whether you're going to be eating dog shit or cow shit.Me too; we are either poor, very poor or absolute crap and its just a question of which of these we will be any given match.
This logic doesn’t stand, unfortunately - because ETH consistently plays mediocre players instead of youth, not “better players”. And he doesn’t have the results to back his team selection (we are getting dominated almost every game).
It’s not like ETH plays a Modric, a Kimmich, a Kroos, a Pedri etc - he plays pure shit in midfield (actually not only there) every single game.
Amrabat or Gore. Double pivot instead of this shit we’ve seen
Ten Hag fans please explain to me how he saw a double pivot work at anfield, but then decided to leave Kobbie on his own away at West Ham? While the two ghosts offer absolutely nothing as midfielders.
fair post. dont think anything will change without the glazers leaving. the rot has spread to the pitch.What we saw on Saturday was not a great team, nor a good team, in fact it wasnt even a team. We saw a bunch of individuals strolling around the pitch who displayed no desire, no passion, no team ethics, no unity and no respect for each other, the club or the supporters. They didnt care; they dont care. Yes, the performance against Liverpool was a huge improvement regarding team work, running, chasing, desire etc but it was a pound to a pinch of snuff that the following performance would be crap...and it was. These players will turn up when it suits them, usually after a series of defeats, put in a decent performance and then go back to being lazy, lethargic, uncaring and downright pathetic. They dont care, and the moment this really struck home was when young Kobbie Mainoo made a mistake leading to West Hams second girl; the only player who showed any concern or feelings for the clearly upset youngster was a 19 year old making his debut, Willy Kambwala! Where was the "captain?" Why didnt Bruno put an arm around his shoulder and tell him not to worry? A real captain, a Roy Keanne, would have consoled the lad without hesitating, though Im pretty sure if it had been one of the more experienced players Keanne would have bawled him out, but Mainoo is 18 and has been brilliant for us and the way he got on with things afterwards shows he has a fantastic attitude and temprement, something his so called team mates desperately lack.
Ten Hag must take some of the blame although he has rid us of other prima donna types like Pogba and Lingard so he knows the score. But how many of these players would have survived even one season under SAF with the attitude they have? And the longer these players are allowed to infect the younger academy players coming through or new transfers, the longer the disgraceful shambles that Manchester United has become will continue. We need to cull every player who has played more than 20 times and eradicate the toxic aura poisening the players and the club.
If the Glazers sold the club tomorrow and left for USA it wouldnt make any difference to whats happening on the pitch, we need a total clear out of the crap we've been forced to endure since SAF retired; players, staff, board, owners right down to the ladies who make the tea, get rid of the lot!fair post. dont think anything will change without the glazers leaving. the rot has spread to the pitch.
If the Glazers have literally no involvement in the running of football operations, would that not be the same as them leaving? They'd essentially be silent stakeholders.fair post. dont think anything will change without the glazers leaving. the rot has spread to the pitch.
It’s because so many of these coaches get to bulk up their CVs in inferior leagues. They get found out when they make the move, but British coaches do not get such a luxury that gives an easy path to big jobs.No more Dutch managers. Like the players they all seem very hit & miss despite fantastic CVs.
Flatter to deceive
For me, I'd only hire managers who have performed well In England, Italy or SpainIt’s because so many of these coaches get to bulk up their CVs in inferior leagues. They get found out when they make the move, but British coaches do not get such a luxury that gives an easy path to big jobs.

I’m an expat Manc living in Melbourne now and I refuse to watch any more games whilst ETH is in charge.At least this game kicked off at 11.30pm Australian Eastern time.
Didn't have to sit up or set alarm for 2am kick off.
More than 60% possession up until the first Hammers goal.
You just knew it wasn’t going to end well and there opener came as no surprise.
Like Mourinho, Van Gaal and Moyes?
