Mate, you are the one taking all of this out of context and getting antsy. For a start it wasn't my point anyway, but @Di Maria's angel was responding to a poster who wrote about City: "They are in CL semi final easily beating teams in the CL group stages against whom we struggled to beat" - he/she/they was just pointing out that we had also beaten a very good team in Europe: "We literally beat Barcelona who are looking like the best in Europe again." Yes that point is up for debate, but it's not such a ridiculous suggestion that I imagined UNITED fans would be so indignant about it. If one team wins La Liga comfortably then they are always going to be in the mix for being the best side in Europe. How often we do say "the league is what counts, cups are just a bonus'? That's because the best indicator of form is the league table, anything can happen in cup competition...City, for example, have never won the CL.

Why are you spending so much time arguing about such a tiny point, with such a negative and dismissive tone??

I was replying on the point of Barcelona being "the best in Europe". You took it in the direction of me being content about Ten Hag or not. That's the biggest thing I hate about this forum. You can't simply pick a post and discuss a point mentioned unless the discussion goes somewhere else entirely. If I replied on the claim Barca aren't the best team in Europe, it means I receive such ridiculous posts like yours claiming I'm not content with Ten Hag or United's season.

Posts like yours are the reason discussions take too long and go into pointless areas.

No one is claiming United are shit or Ten Hag didn't do well. I saw a post claiming something I don't agree. I replied on it. What's your business in this ?

You appear to be missing the all important context that this is the ETH thread - of course your comments are going to be viewed in that light. Sheesh.

Also, you seem very cross these days :confused:

Probably better than everyone else before him but don't think he's the man to lead us to the title.

What ever he said at half time clearly hasn’t had any affect. Yet again, shit substitutions have killed us.

It's going to be a brutal end to the season, mark my words. Culminating with an absolute thrashing by city in the cup final. Oh how I wish the season ended after the league cup final!

His half time talk must have been "Do feck all"

We basically slept since half time

He is not as good as we think. Second season will be interesting. He tinkers too much and keeps making subs that do not work. Some early worrying signs.

The way he sets us up for away games is criminal. We’re far too open and tonight could’ve been another 7-0 thrashing. It’s unacceptable and the fact he’s not tweaking his approach is worrying.

Our home form is title winning but away from home we are mid table fodder.

Bringing on Donkey instead of an actual midfielder is not a good look

We’re really not that good under him. I expected more. Eh.

Horrible away and that’s without mentioning the batterings.

Can't stop the tide to save his life. Seriously bad game management.

This is probably the worst game management from him all season. From going to complete control of a match to throwing it away has to be levelled solely at him today.

I can’t see us winning the biggest trophies under him. Hopefully im proven wrong but he’s a pragmatist.

He’s not even in the same league as Pep for example with attacking play. I trust we can defend most games under him though because he plays it safe a lot… well attempts to…

Our inability away from home is a serious concern. You can’t fancy us outside of OT against any half decent team at all

Absolutely ridiculous. Very lucky they didn't get a winner.

His subs are honestly self destruction.

None of his subs improved us tonight. Not sure what's happening at half time. However, we've been coming out cold for second halves.

As I said, the summer transfer window is make or break. The coaching is evident. We just lack press resistant players to take us to the next level.

Get said players and we'll be a better version of this Arsenal because ten Hag is, imo, a better coach. Sign more lightweights and nothing will change because good coaching can only take you so far when you can't keep the ball under the slightest bit of pressure.
