Erik ten Hag | 2022/23 & 2023/24

[AgentSmith]

Has to be a wind up.

Still a wind up?

 

[Solius]

This is why I wait until after games to comment on games.

 

[LawCharltonBest]

4th is looking better. Villa and Spurs will lose games

If Rashford can hit form, Hojlund keeps scoring and injuries return.. who knows

 

[Leftback99]

Still a wind up?

2nd half. Definitely not.

 

[OldSchoolManc]

Guess you don't like the team you support fighting for the shirt? Why bother supporting a team so. We were great in the second half.

I‘ve endured 4 months of shit, you want a complete turnaround for 45 a minute miracle?

 

[TsuWave]

I'm now fully convinced that it's not the players. "Can't press with these players", "no fight" etc. It's the dog shit game plans.

At least this gets the "players downed tools" excuse out of the card. Let's see how we get on from now

 

[RedIke]

He was able to get a proper response from those boys in the 2nd half. Well done to him for that.

 

[justboy68]

The players are not a bad group attitude wise, that was always a lazy cop out of an excuse. Hope ETH can figure out what went right in the second half and replicate it going forward.

 

[Andycoleno9]

I hope that finally he will realise that creative midfield is the way forward. Not McT and Amrabat.

 

[V.O.]

Playing two midfielders who can actually play football behind Bruno worked out pretty well for the most part.

 

[HookedOnAPhelan]

Incredible manager.

 

[macheda14]

I hope that finally he will realise that creative midfield is the way forward. Not McT and Amrabat.

MCT and Amrabat have pretty much been our only fit midfielders. I don’t think it was by design.

 

[AgentSmith]

2nd half. Definitely not.

We were good in the first half outside of two brain dead pieces of defending. We were excellent in the second half.

 

[mu4c_20le]

New 5 yr contract.

 

[bond19821982]

We are still without below first team players

Casemiro
Mount
Martinez
Shaw
Maguire
Martial

Not mentioning Lindelof or Amad since they are backup players anyway.

We keep forgetting that we have been playing with a makeshift team for months now. This isn't us and we still can go one level above.

 

[flameinthesun]

Tbf to him Eriksen and Mount have been injured on and off most of the season.

 

[Andycoleno9]

Our fall last year started when he was injured and Case got a 3 games ban.

 

[TheReligion]

@Castia this one’s for you babbbbby

 

[fergieisold]

Has to be a wind up.

we were by far the best team after going 2-0 down.

 

[JagUTD]

Clearly these players can play. Clearly ETH isn't some fraud but far to often it's as if they have all only just met.

Villa are one of the top sides this season, a match for anyone and through playing well all game and particularly brilliant in the second half, United made them look average.

It can work, United under Ten Hag have potential but it's a case of whether we are willing to ride through this period, where we are playing 4/5 kids a game at times.

 

[VP89]

Think it's clear he's lost the dressing room lads

 

[Andycoleno9]

Tbf to him Eriksen and Mount have been injured on and off most of the season.

Mount is not that type of player. Mount is creative runner. We need classic central creative midfielder.

Yup, I agree. There are players in the squad who are capable of playing the way he wants and others who are not. We've been playing most of the season without the players who are suitable to the way he wants to play.

 

[Oranges038]

Got it bang on today.

Another corner turned.

 

[VP89]

we were by far the best team after going 2-0 down.

Even before 2-0 we were alright. Those two moments was just so fecking annoying. We throw momentum so easily with that, I'm just glad we mentally reacted today to going down. Need to cut it out though

 

[Rustyspider13]

Play 3 midfielders who can pass the ball. It's simple. God I hope Mount comes back and does his best Eriksen impression when Eriksen isn't available. If EtH stays, this will be looked at a pivotal game. If he goes, not replacing Eriksen will be his biggest mistake. But tonight, he got it right. Well done.

 

[TheGame]

We were by far the best team from when we went 2-0 down. We absolutely dominated them. Better decision making and we would have scored more.

 

[Castia]

@Castia this one’s for you babbbbby

Brilliant second half that

If he keeps McTominay and Antony out of that attack and we get some form out of Rashford we look like a different side

Absolutely buzzing that's the best game in what feels like years

Happy to see his post match interview also he's well happy. Well done today

 

[Ayush_reddevil]

I apologise for asking him to be sacked at HT

 

[TheGame]

Even before 2-0 we were alright. Those two moments was just so fecking annoying. We throw momentum so easily with that, I'm just glad we mentally reacted today to going down. Need to cut it out though

Yeah but after 2-0 we just seemed to dominate a lot more.

 

[NinjaZombie]

Yeah but after 2-0 we just seemed to dominate a lot more.

That's a problem I feel. We need to start games playing faster and with more urgency.

 

[TheGame]

That's a problem I feel. We need to start games playing faster and with more urgency.

Yep although as others have said, we actually didn’t start too bad but had 2 brainfarts.

 

[redom]

He's got to be delighted with the response of the players, now he's got to find a way to make us more threatening more often.

 

[JagUTD]

Is it only ETH who does these tableside interviews post game?

 

[Berbasbullet]

Thought our pressing was excellent today, nicked the ball in midfield a lot.

 

[Jezpeza]

4th is looking better. Villa and Spurs will lose games

If Rashford can hit form, Hojlund keeps scoring and injuries return.. who knows

All teams have bad spells in the season. Spurs and Villa were never going to keep it up. Liverpool and City have defied that in some of their 90+ point seasons.

No point if and butting us - we’ve lost half our games this season and we dont know what we will get from this week to the next. Top 4 unlikely

 

[kouroux]

Thought our pressing was excellent today, nicked the ball in midfield a lot.

After 0-2, the game was something else

 

[PlayerOne]

I'm now fully convinced that it's not the players. "Can't press with these players", "no fight" etc. It's the dog shit game plans.

Same players did well last year btw. Don't let them fool you

 

[Berbasbullet]

After 0-2, the game was something else

Also Eriksen makes a huge difference in midfield, just a shame he isn’t younger.

 

[TheGame]

He's got to be delighted with the response of the players, now he's got to find a way to make us more threatening more often.

Need to pick that front 3 more often with Bruno behind. Our best attacking players. Just not the same with Antony playing.
