The jury is out on Hojlund as the sample size suggest he is more likely to be a miss than a hit. Had a purple patch over 8 games is not good enough sample size.
Martinez has gone backwards and rash this season and even then his height will always be a problem. There is a high chance the next manager will look towards a different type of CB.
Flick, Dezerbi, Naglesmann, Enrique, Inzaghi and Unai Emery are all better managers.
Look, average managers in the EPL have shown to be able to coach teams to play like a team and dominated us with a far inferior team.
Give me a break please
He’s a young player who has looked great with good underlying stats and a great work ethic.
Martinez is one of the best CBs in the PL.
What about those managers appeal to you over Ten Hag. What qualities do they have you think Ten Hag doesnt?
No break just yet I’m trying to understand you.
We don’t disagree mate.
I think there’s lots to do all round but for me keeping EtH after this performance should be unacceptable at a club with our/Ineos’ ambitions.
We can all list the qualities we’d like to see, I’m saying the pretence that people should band around names or not question EtH’s position isn’t ground I have interest going over. My interest, does a manager that loses the games he has in this period deserve to manage this club? The answer for me is no.
Adding a football structure isn’t some magic pill if the manager lacks tactical nouse against the likes of Fulham, Bournemouth, Crystal Palace. Again, we aren’t losing 3-1 to Citeh every week. When we hire key figures above him the pressure will actually ramp up. He’s been given a bit of a free hit this season & still fell short. Name me another manager that’s had the football structure excuse used so regularly? Fulham & Bournemouth both came to Old Trafford with injuries/absences of their own to play us off the pitch.
I can only speak personally. I don’t think sacking EtH in a silo then airdropping any manager in would yield a dramatic upturn in our fortunes, I do believe that a replacement manager using different tactics could have gotten better results out of this bunch but again that’s a low bar because this was never a league winning/challenging squad. I’m saying it’d be closer to Villa is all.
In general I agree with your bullet points. I just think it misses a key 4th, which is that we need to improve in the dugout also. You can still do all the things you list, look at what EtH has done for the past year & look to improve there too.
Who’s asking a manager to come in and single handed my resolve the clubs issues? I think part of your post is pointed at others cause I’m not. There’s a whole lot to change & I’d put the manager near the top of that list.
So you’re firmly in the Ten Hag doesn’t deserve a chance under a new structure a completely fresh and clean slate is needed?
So regardless of Ten Hag’s quality relative to other candidates is it more important for someone else to try it who just isn’t Ten Hag?
Id counter that with name me any top club aiming for Top 4/winning their league without footballing structure
@AFC NimbleThumb you’re confusing an excuse with an explanation.
I think it’s reasonable to believe some other manager
may have done better but history would suggest at a club like United it’s unlikely. We have a history of managers failing.
I can understand why some want him gone. I’m not particularly attached to him myself and would fully trust INEOS to make the right decision end of season about the manager.
I guess we agree on most things then I just happen to think the club is far more rotten than the manager is then?
