ETH supporters: this is fine

Yanited__ · May 6, 2024

What's the system of play other than trying (and failing) to play out from the back then hoofing it up the pitch?

We can't defend, there's gaps for the other team every time we play, there's no chance creation, there's no creativity, the front 3 lack chemistry, above all else we're a boring watch.

So what do we have to look forward to? Anything?

I feel like this is a waste of our time now and we're just going through the motions with this team/manager

no one is passing to him... mind you no one is passing to anyone

He is not even being a handful physically for the defenders, really offering next to nothing, can't hold the ball up, very limited linking ability, erratic first touch. Yes, he gets poor service but he still has to show much more than this.

5/8 passes completed, no aerials won, no tackles, no dribbles, 1 shot if you can call it that.

Evans looks poor because he is 37, why is Mainoo getting dribbled past like he’s 40?

Because he is trying to do everyone else's job (in that most recent case, AWB's)

Worst half of football this season

Worrying thing is, we've had worse.

We have been rock bottom like this before. This guy was brought in to fix

However many millions later, we have no style of play, a gaping hole in midfield he seems to be the only one who can't see it.

Fecking get your asre out and organise your team, you shite.

Doesn't matter who we play this guy has no clue

This is Crystal Palace for crying out loud

Get rid

Always confused when people say this as it quite evident there is a style of play and patterns that are repeated. It’s just most of our players aren’t up to task and make stupid errors.

It’s pretty damning even in an injury crisis. Is there no younger lads who could come up from the u21’s? Having the legs to run would be preferable surely.

That was Kambwala, who also got injured. We've been absolutely cursed this season.

Hojlund is so uninspiring

Strikers usually are when they get feck all service.

Hojlund has a lot of growing to do but we knew this when we bought him. He shouldn't be the main striker at the club starting every week.

groovyalbert · May 6, 2024

Can you sack a manager at half time?

united for life · May 6, 2024

We play one of the most entertaining football in the league :lol:

Yet some still think a fire sale is a bad idea because “you need to keep some veterans in the dressing room”

A bunch of actual veterans would do better than this lot.

Beachryan · May 6, 2024

Dunno. We played alright. Casemiro made two huge mistakes, and we're 2-0 down, against the second most in form team in the league. ETH is seriously cursed, I just don't see what else you do here with the players available.

Maybe pull Mount a bit deeper, maybe start Amass but he's incredibly young. But I think all those imagining a temporary manager would get a tune out of these XI players, against a very in-form Crystal Palace are just dreaming.

ETH will go, but tonight isn't his fault. Eriksen can't run so bring in...ah. AWB can't defend so bring in...ah. Casemiro has been a disaster so bring in...ah.

Kaos · May 6, 2024

Scintillating half, cheers lad.

Castia · May 6, 2024

I didn’t even turn off the Liverpool 7-0 but I just cba with this bullshit anymore

I’m impressed by Mainoo this season but you’re absolutely spot on.
For whatever reason, probably him being tired, he showed no fight and got dribbled past like a cone this whole half

Just the only good centre half in the squad who is also the best passer of the ball.

That one who missed more than 50% of games so far? Yeah, top signing.

Bwuk · May 6, 2024

Amass for AWB, and Amad for Eriksen please.

Considering our fixture a negative gd at the end seems very likely.

And most losses in PL era should it end this way.

SteveCoppellFan · May 6, 2024

For the love of god, please let this be the last season most of these charlatan's play for United.

Most of them have proven beyond any doubt that they are just not good enough to play for a successful United side.

You can always play kids/backup players in Europe. Plus it is another route to CL. Plus it brings money.
And it is 10+ games more to watch.
I know that we are hard to watch now but still don't you want to watch your club 2 times per week instead one?

Not a team under ETH no I don’t and I’m sure most united fans feel the same, his football with onana and Casemiro is long ball crap!

Have to look into the staff and quality of training here, a lot of these injuries aren't contact injuries you see in the games.

Spectacular half of football. Not even a shot on target in 45 mins

We had a wrongly disallowed goal, header on target

Good performance so far, really pleased.

If you accept that people who make the statement aren't doing so rationally, or in good faith, it clears up the confusion.

I get some folks doubting if ETH's system will give us enough control even at its best (I'm not sure personally), but we've had a very clear style of play all season, we just haven't been very good at it.

Plant0x84 · May 6, 2024

2/3 of possession and we’ve done feck all with it. Clueless attacking play. Zero defence. And we’ve only really got Amad to change it up. Grim stuff.

Zed is not dead · May 6, 2024

At least we have 63% possession

Control feels so good

Throwing?

Like we could win them but we don't want to?

That is what I'm asking. Is it not at least curious how so many of our regular starters are being dropped due to mystery injuries? Just asking...maybe our entire starting XI save a few are out with injuries picked up in training.

He's 100% gone in the summer, everyone knows it.

If we were playing a style of football that had a future you could give some allowance, but every team run through us so easily.

It's time we acknowledge that the season hasn't met even the lowest of expectations.

I said we’d struggle for top 8 before the season started soooo, pretty much bang on target.

You're a bad signing if you break your foot and have some oaf land on your knee. fecking hell man, have a day off.

lysglimt · May 6, 2024

I just dream about waking up to the news that ETH has been sacked

eire-red · May 6, 2024

Last few seconds and we don't even put the cross in.

I never expected us to get a result here tonight to begin with, but we're finding new lows every week. Palace are taking the mick and picking us off at will.

Ironically, it's not all that dissimilar to RR's last game and EtH watching in the stands. Feels like the end of another era.

Catt · May 6, 2024

This is ridiculous

NoLogo · May 6, 2024

Players have basically downed their tools, they aren't even trying anymore it seems. Very frustrating.

Attitude needs to change 180° in the next half.
