I can't think of a single good reason why he's still here. Id take whatever interim manager we could find over whatever this is.

It's obvious that ETH's ceiling has been exposed and it's not even close to EPL standards. The man's fit to manage farmers and chain smokers. He needs a league where tactics don't matter and so his lack thereof isn't exposed brutally week in, week out by even the worst clubs in the league.

Man's a massive fraud and he's been sussed out.
 
I'm just hoping that the only reason we're waiting is so Berrada can make the decision.
Actually, if Bayern truly want him, maybe we can avoid paying the last year of his contract. At this point, you probably let him finish out the season, but openly engage with Tuchel or whoever.
 
Ten Hag has to go and SHOULD HAVE GONE AFTER THE CHELSEA RESULT. INEOS deserve plenty of criticism right now for not reading the room any better and for choosing to behave like total cheapskates in this case.

And for those who say that it would have been too disruptive with the FA Cup final ahead, I hope you are aware that there are clubs that have sacked managers even when there was a cup final ahead before.
 
I mean to be fair to Ten Hag, he's got a shocking lineup to play the mighty Crystal Palace. Only the 250 million worth of players to start with (7 which he brought into the club.) What do you expect? To go in a 1-1 against a side in the bottom half?
 
Zero Hag looked sitting pathetic on the bench watching a world class team like Palace destroying his team. What a fraud.
 
Palace are showboating out there. Olise is almost walking around there like a semiretired goat level player in a charity game. The injuries are terrible as usual but there must surely be something he can do to at least make Palace work for it.
 
It's bizarre that this is what we've ended up with after 2 seasons and he's still guaranteed to be manager next season because we've no standards at all.
 
Do any of you really think with 10 first team players out, any other manager could really have the team performing? Injuries have well and truly fecked us this season and for people to ignore that is just silly. Bring in any manager next season, give them the teams injury crisis and they won't do much better in all honesty.
 
This and the thrashing/humiliation we will suffer against Arsenal could see him gone before the end of the season. I’d still imagine he won’t go until after the Cup Final but this is like watching Moyes at the end.
 
What's the point majority here voted for him to manage the FA Cup final? I feel we have more chance even with Steve McLaren, at the very least he can play proper defensive counter attack style of play. With ETH, we have no chance against City.
 
He's a fecking clown of a manager. A fecking useless, stubborn donkey.

Put in some youth centre back with Evans. I don't give a shit if he's even 17. At the very fecking least, they can run.

Casemiro has no legs, he can't play centre back, he doesn't a flying feck about the club and what does he do? Start him at centre back with the captains armband. His excuse will be "He has experience." What good is experience if you can't even run on a football pitch?

I've had enough and I've had enough of trying to be nice about it. Get him out of the fecking club and feck his half a billion worth of shit signings with him.

Spot on. Worryingly Mainoo appears to now be running in quicksand too - as for Antony has that shit even been on the pitch?
 
And for those who say that it would have been too disruptive with the FA Cup final ahead, I hope you are aware that there are clubs that have sacked managers even when there was a cup final ahead before.

A random honeymoon period under an interim manager is actually our only chance to maybe scrape a 0-0 at Wembley and beat City on penalties, maybe.

People who think Ten Hag can pull something out of that game when he's barely able to take anything away from mid table sides are on something very potent.
 
Which "actual centre back" should he play instead of Casemiro?

Honestly ? I’d rather Louis Jackson play instead of Casemiro at centre back as 1. It’s his natural position 2. His legs haven’t completely gone 3. Isn’t afraid to tackle for fear of being sent off and 4. Isn’t there just for the money.

There may be a few shaky moments but playing alongside someone like Evans could see Jackson be led through the game, the fact Ashley Young and Jamie Carragher are right now saying Casemiro is ‘embarrassing’ and ‘shambolic’ at centre back and that he needs to be taken off the pitch should tell you more.
 
IF we lose this. And we most likely will. The most points we can get is 63.

For Context, our season with Moyes we finished on 64.

Chelsea and Newcaatle had injuries, they are aheaf of us. This is not an excuse.
 
Yes, the season has been riddled with injuries. Yes, we have some absolute dross on the pitch. Yes, everything around the club has been a mess for a while. No, that doesn't excuse EtH.

There are many good managers out there who are succesful in making their team play attractive football and winning. Some of them even inherit most of their squad.

Meanwhile, we're humiliated by lesser teams on a weekly basis. We look completely clueless in every single aspect of the game. With one of the biggest budgets in the world of football.

This cannot be excused. It doens't mean that EtH is a poor manager. But it should be obvious for everyone that he's definitely not good enough.
 


The starting XI contains seven players he signed in the last two years, spending about £350 million, two super talented youngsters he brought through + the two full backs, where at least Dalot is a good player. Should expect better than what is being served up.
 
I dont know why we insist on playing our Full backs as inside extra midfielders / what ever you might call it. Specially when we have Casemiro and Evans as. your starting CBs. It hasnt worked all season, it wont work now.
 
He's part of the problem but for feck sake, please get rid of this absolutely cowards of so-called footballers. I mean fecking run about 20 of them out the door.

They are an embarrassment, a league two team would show more fight and commitment
 
Sir Jim should stop worrying about the desk of IT workers and wake the feck up. He needs to go ASAP and we need to act on a new coach immediately.

Come off it, mate. Tired of excuses for this fraud. We've looked shit from the summer friendlies, Wolves hammered us with all our squad fit, Brighton hammered us with all their backline out injured. He is lucky he has injuries as an excuse because he really isnt good enough and would have been sacked already otherwise
 
Any other top flight manager going into an an away game with a patched up defence would at the least have a midfield setup to provide protection. ETH on the other hand goes with the same tactics as every other game the one that leaves the defence wide open

Indeed. And it’s a tactic that every manager we’ve come up against has worked out.
