I’m joking mate. Happy for him that he might get a good send off.

As shit as we’ve been this season - and to be fair it’s been extremely shit for the most part - it’s ever so slightly heartwarming to see some semblance of togetherness remain.
Whatever happens tomorrow at our circus of a club, lifting a trophy would be a huge achievement given the season we’ve had. Fingers crossed we can do it.

Even without them two, it took him 90% of the season to realise that Amrabat can be quite useful, and packing the midfield is a decent alternative to conceding 20 shots a game.
Maybe the players perform better since they know it's over? But yeah, will be awkward either way
I’m not sure 1 game is a big enough sample. Didn’t we lose 7-0 to Liverpool when Martinez started? He has gotten the tactics right today though.
Or maybe…. Just maybe….
It’s more to do with completely changing the awful tactics he has used all season.
If he gets chopped, I hope that half makes him realise it’s a completely self inflicted wound.
Yeah, doing something different to shore the midfield up has worked so far.
Would have been nice for that to happen in October instead of May.
Who’d of thought having most players fit would make a difference to how we play
feck me. Even now some people pure negativity.
Which comments? I missed them. Thanks
He lives! Back from the dead, Zombie Erik ten Hag returns as Man Utd manager for next season.
It's been a perfect plan so far to be fair. Bruno has been magnificent, Rashford and Martinez too.
Are we making a mistake?

It’s not just been a couple it’s been the whole back line except Dalot at various points.
true.Amazing it took EtH until the end of the season to set the midfield up to benefit us.
Stick Varane and Mainoo in that list as well. Fantastic.
No, he changed it specifically for the final and the players are obviously giving it an extra effort. If we had another league game after this, we would look lost again.
I know right. Why cant we just enjoy this game without trying to make him stay.
Only he and his assistants know. Possibly because he's Dutch and the Dutch are stubborn as hell. Very annoying.

Na injuries to the two defenders you actually signed, to the midfielder, to the striker etc shouldn’t make any difference.
I was thinking about same thing but I do think you can’t play like that against lower team where you are expected to dominate more? Here we are compact, defending and letting city have the ball. But this should be our setup off the ball more or less.
He should be very proud if he will get a LvGesque goodbye. At least won't be remembered as a complete failure, again if we manage to win this - don't forget Coventry!
Bald is best.
Yes but it's Martinez/Varane who make the most difference.
But theirs is bald as well?
But I believe we really shouldn't act as if he won this game already
Want him sacked twice after this half. Why not play like this for the other parts of the season. We would have been worse because of the injuries, true, but we would be in the CL.
This team is horrible. What the feck
Happy to be proven wrong though, hopefully
Bald is best.
Oh lord if we lose from here I'll cry
Never seen him this thirsty

Which wouldn’t be as much of an issue if we had a well built squad, Maguire, Lindelof and Evans are not similar profiles of player and also have suffered injuries too throughout the season.
You can’t play this patient build up and long passing without it.
First off, stop talking like we've won this. We've seen second half collapses against far worse teams under ETH.
It would great to win this, firstly for the team and the fans but it would also be a good send off for him. I'm still firmly in the "thanks, but good bye" camp myself.

Like I'm drinking my beer
City will score …but no matter the score line, ETH has provided a glimpse into what a fit backline can add to our overall play. Let’s hope he has a great half time team talk to give too.
Not if Varane and Martinez were fit for that imaginary league game
Our shape is great
ETH in?
It doesn’t really. You don’t assess managers on a single game of football. Will be good for him to go out on a high.
