Not really. Big difference with Martinez/Malacia and Eriksen. I'd argue its not with the same players at all.

Am I missing something? I thought we player really well away from home?
he's done incredibly well since Brentford
it's pragmatic football which is needed right now, but there are also signs of his influence on our passing, pressing, and organisation..
and he's done this with Rashford up front who can't hold up the ball to save his life, and Elanga who is a willing runner but not much else at this point

You do not know football, not even a little bit. Our build up from the back was great, and that was before Casemiro came on - who looked a class above btw - we just need some quality up top. Atm we’d have a better job holding it up front with a wall replacing Rashford.
Don't fecking support the team like your support will make any difference, funny
Car crash of a post, if you can not see changes then I really don't have hope for mankind.Absolutely clueless did you see us last season!? The confidence was rock bottom, what he's doing is exactly what needs to be done. Winning breeds confidence, ugly or not. The fancy football will come in time. If you can't see that then I question your knowledge on how things in the real world actually work. Absolutely crazy opinion ffs!
Yeah, it's mindboggling what people expect after 5 games in charge. Bloody hell.
We have to control the game better and show more urgency and go for the throat when we're at the top of the game.
Id hoped we could lose these ‘fans’ over the past few years. Sadly we can’t shake them
Ajax fans weren't kidding about his subs.
He needs putting in the bin

No I support the team. I don't blindly support managers though. When there's something I don't like happen I'll point it, and I don't honestly care what anyone else feel about my posts either. Not like I enjoy a lot of what's posted here for people to ask people to find my posts good, as if I fecking care. Same shit was happening in the early Ole days as well anyway and I faced the same kind of posts.
Done a phenomenal job so far. He's completely turned around the mentality and team spirit of this group. And we will only get better.
I feel like the instructions are still a bit conservative because of those opening matches. I think he just wants to build up their confidence by getting results.
But it's clear we aren't pressing like we did in preseason, playing out from the back like in preseason, nor are we as quick in our passing. Eventually that will have to change.

Problem isn't the football itself. It's poor but to be expected with this squad.
The problem is the players he's brought in to address our issues. Especially in possession.

Think some of them would sing a different tune if Ralf got that result and performance. Then they'll blame the players for downing tools in the second half.
Casemiro coming on helped. Let's see if the cup games give him some more confidence to bring on more players in league games.
The feck are you talking about
We're peak Italy!
Let's be honest, it's not fantastic. The play through midfield, the decision making of the front 3 is not good at all. Borderline terribly actually.
But he has clearly got his players on board when you see the way they're working as a team, and the defenders take pride in the clean sheet. Previously a clean sheet has seemed completely optional to this bunch.
If you defend well you can build around that and he's got that going.

This is more important than any signing
Did you think Fergie was a good manager?
What’s about his subs?Ajax fans weren't kidding about his subs.
We are more cautious now. Not a gen Gen press but only when required. Quick passes are being played (check the first half) . Playing out from the back is also done but again, only risk averse ones.
I can understand the plan. Slowly and gradually !
Wobbly start of course but since then it’s 9 points from fixtures we got 1 point from last year. The signs of improvement are definitely there. If we beat Arsenal, it has been a decent start, all things considered.
Yeah it's crazy how anyone is able to not just show some patience at this point into a new managers reign but also not see any signs of improvement, considering where we were last season.
But it's been 5 GAMES, ONLY 5 GMAES and all in the premier league after losing our first two games. This is the time to grind wins while figuring how to play together and get use to ETH ideas. We haven't even played easy cup games yet to integrate the youth, try new things etc.
You need to chill.
We are a midfielder short for that.
Don't understand why so much negativity... he has managed to bench Maguire, Ronaldo.... brought well and got us 3 wins in a row. A lot more promising than last year.
Looking back on that video of him in the Antony unveiling, you can see why he's so excited. He knows Antony will have that magic to play that killer ball or commit that last defender, which is what our attack needs.
We're building a solid defence and with Antony, it should be similar going forwards, whilst we've added steel and finesse into our midfield with Casemiro and Eriksen.
We know there's going to be teething problems still ahead because the fitness levels aren't there but we'll get there.

Late in the match
edit: thought he meant that because that was the critisism but they weren’t that late today.
It takes time mate. Arsenal under Arteta were playing a back 5 a year into the job, now look at them. The first couple of games have made him re-assess a bit and he is making us tough to be beaten in transitions. Give the man some time
At this stage of the season it's expected, we have to give the first XI every chance of gaining in fitness.
Plus his subs tonight helped pack the midfield and stopped the Leicester momentum from gaining too much.
We are guilty of not killing the game off by scoring the second goal. Rashford rubbish at striker. How long before Ten Hag realises that? Ronaldo must play striker ahead of Rashford. And all those who said Brendan Rogers should manage us 
. We’re gonna spring some surprises on City and Arsenal trust me.

Good grief. Log off.
I don't understand how you can watch those past three games and not see the improvement. Remember the Brentford game? We look so much more structured and composed right now, the team seems to have a fighting spirit and there's spells of really decent football in there. Is it perfect? Heck no, far from it. They have a long, long ways to go and there's a lot to improve on, but after the tire fire that was our 21/22 season, the squad turnover and the torrid start to the season, it'll take a bit of time. But we're getting there. Trust this man.
