Benni McCarthy leaves United

How can you both be "tactically at the top" and lose 3-0 two home games in a row?
 
Every study ever made on management shows that the disciplinarian/stick approach never works in the long run. If that's your only approach as a manager then you're doomed to fail. I think what Benni is saying is true, and that's not an excuse for the players, it's a Ten Hag issue. If you think about peak Jose, he was pally with the players but absolutely ruthless when he needed to be, he got away with it because he was charming and charismatic, you didn't want to let him down. Ten Hag is none of those things.
Mourinho was arguably the best man manager ever but I don’t fully agree. There are instances of managers having great success who treated players coldly (Capello an obvious example off the top of my head) but then ETH is nothing like that, he’s just not super charismatic.

Not a chance. The guy was finished by the 3rd season at almost every club he managed.

Fergie is the greatest man manager of all time. Keeping the one club at the very top for 20 years must take insane man management and motivational skills.

Not that this has happened now, as the Barnsley and Twente games came inbetween, but it’s not that difficult. I remember when even under Fergie we lost 5-0 to Newcastle, 6-3 to Soton and then at home to Fenerbahce on the trot. Shit happens in football sometimes.

Benny McCarthy is far from the only coach who thinks Ten Hag is tactically supercompetent. It’s more interesting what he says about Bruno and Dalot being the best and hardest working trainers he has worked with, but that some others didn’t do all they could in training.
 
Apparently we’d ruin any team by the way we perform in training. McCarthy said we train really good but have a problem translating it on a match day.

That’s no surprise since they come from the same country as the best player in the world . And the one who probably works the hardest in the world.

Never finished below 3rd aswell I believe. That’s incredible.
 
Based on his comments, it seems we’ve placed too much emphasis on performances in training as an indicator of progression rather than performances on the pitch. Such a micro view to take if true. Either that or the training sessions are tailored to reflect player abilities and form for selection. Something is seriously wrong.
 
I'm pretty sure players don't give 100% in training. You don't want to injure people.

This sounds like a young man who boasts that he has a 12'' penis and is a beast in the bedroom.
He then gets the opportunity to have sex with a woman but fails to get wood and it turns it his penis is actually 3".
He then leaves the scene, feeling self-pity, embarrassment and wrecked self-confidence.

Sorry you had to go through that

Weirdly specific but also apt.

why would you go to all that trouble to not adequately describe the penis? yeah you’ve mentioned its length, but nothing of its girth, its aroma, its curvature. if you truly want to draw your audience in, your writing is going to have to expand upon things like that.

Talk about going through the same shitty scenarios in your love life and football life.

That's the problem he's having!

Ten hag of romance. All the big talk then wilts under pressure. Presented with the gaping hole in the middle for once by the opposition to take the advantage but still can’t coach to score. Get rid.

Sounds like you’re speaking from experience? :smirk:

Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh, my God. It even has a watermark.

12" is a hallmark of bullshit. It's a number that when picked you automatically know it is a lie.
