    Im just going to quote this AGAIN because never have I seen a quote so daft in my life, I am sorry.

    This absolute waste of a manager decided to hoard players he didnt even need, refused to coach them and told them to just win second balls and show him what they've got. He had no problem wasting most of his transfer budgets on overrated talent and had no actual style of play that was consistent.

    He has created such a big workstack of issues for the next manager let alone this one, that he shouldn't come near the club for a while unless it's brand related. He has done a considerable amount of damage to the club in managerial capacity.

    Should have made subs but players are weak too. Weak mentality under pressure and a manager can't make players pass the ball 10 yards. We need 2 midfielders and it's been clear for a long time

    This is far too easy on ralf. We obviously need midfielders but I refuse to believe donny couldn't have added more stability, especially when cavani was shot for the last 30 mins

    Never have I known a managers team selection, structure and substitutions be so opposite to what they talk about (control)

    If it was ole no one would be so generous
     
    Laughing stock of England, laughing stock of Europe. Feck off! Same old shit week after week.
     
    Can we please stay away from Germans in general and specifically fu..king Dortmund players?

    Getting really tired of this United. Haven’t felt this bad for years.
     
    More tripe from this lot, buy some fecking midfielders. It's pure insanity if you think having a mix of Fred, Matic, McTominay is going to actually make us go any better than we are.

    It wasn’t, they’ve completely dominated us in midfield in both games. Their midfielders are much better and more comfortable on the ball.

    They didn't start dominating until our midfield got tired. We can't press for extended periods without getting gassed out early in the second half. The Palace game was evidence of that.

    How do you leave Matic and Cavani on the pitch for 90 minutes when they can’t run after 60?

    If his complete inability to run wasn’t enough of a clue, both him and Bruno were living dangerously on yellow cards. The change was so obvious everyone here could see it but our manager seems oblivious.

    He did a good job up until this season.

    We were also in free fall under him this season. But yeah, Ole was better :lol: Us keeping the noob for so long created the mess, we will need years to get out of it. That is if we do it right for once.

    come on. its not the manager its the players. 2-0 up at 75 min and not winning is just highschool football at best. there is no quick fix for this.

    Unforgivable to take off our best performers today and leaving on garbage like Fred. I mean this is basic stuff.

    That’s why you need to make some subs before the 89th minute!
     
    Obvious weak links

    Fred, way to erratic, will produce a good piece of play, followed by 3 brain farts.

    Dalot cannot defend.

    I'd say Cavani is offering nothing lately too.

    Thought we played well in parts, but we have too many moments of poor play that give teams momentum.

    Don't understand why Fred and Dalot weren't withdrawn sooner...........

    No he was always a fan in a managerial role. He was 2nd because Liverpool and Spurs and Chelsea had their own issues. He is an absolutely atrocious manager and not even a coach. By his own admission hes not even a believer of modern tactics. He is the biggest dinosaur in the game, lets call a spade a spade.

    Rangnick is to blame too. But what was happening on pitch for last 15 simply has to lead to at least a shared portion of blame to those on pitch. Embarrassing
     
    Rangnick not having any faith to put VDB on after we went 2-0 is precisely the reason why as a manager, he'd never get a role of this level anywhere else.

    Midfield legs were gone, CBs lost their heads accordingly trying to make up for it. A catalogue of errors from top to bottom.

    Really disappointed more than anything.

    What about our forwards? Fred has more assists than Rashford and Greenwood combined this season

    What about them? As far as I know we have all accepted that they have been shoddy this season.
     
    When you defenders are punting the ball long when they receive it, its the time to change it up abit in midfield because they got completely over-ran in that last 20 mins. Matic and Fred had clearly given enough.
     
    Matic didn't have the legs to track Coutinho and completely lost him at the back post

    But we would still have a manager who thinks Fred played well enough to stay on ahead of Elanga and Fernandes. This is sub-Ole tosh. At least with Ole we had a bounce. With Ralf we dont just have no bounce but also nonsensical decision making. That is me done.

    Our lack of squad depth in midfield is genuinely ridiculous. We needed to replace both Fred and Matic and we had nobody who knows how to defend in the cm positions so we couldn't bring anyone on. Not only do we desperately need one new cm, we desperately need 2, yet no signs we'll get anyone until the end of the season. Expect more of this every single game.
