I think most people are not aware of what the gaffer is trying to achieve.
He wants the players getting so accustomed to eachother, so that they can pick passes blindly. He is giving his starting 11 as much minutes together as possible, to get the routines in and to score a lot of goals (working on confidence).
I expect the strongest possible side, and I expect a 4-0 tonight.

Clear! I wish we could pin this post.
All well and good but we have a game every 3 days for at least 2 months. They won't be picking any passes from the hospital bed.
100%
He even explicitly said so in last news conference - he needs players to perfect the automatisms (routines) and you can only achieve that by playing.
Quite cute.
If ETH goes on to do well, will the king Eric thing become confusing
Erik vs Eric. I don't see the problem.
King Eric vs. Emperor Erik?
Love the man and I understand the automatization think but Garnacho at least needs a start tonight. Probably Rashford again though.
He’s such a beast of a manager. Seems really to be a manager as opposed to a head coach type. Reminds me of SAF. I could see him building a dynasty here. Hope he likes Manchester.
Erik is surely on the caf given that he’s got Sancho as a 10 and Lindelof as a DM.
Giving the people what they want.

Man of the people. At least now we can see why Lindelof is not a midfielder
Looked like a fish out of water there didn’t heMan of the people. At least now we can see why Lindelof is not a midfielder
Sancho as a 10 has potential though imo
Utds greatest signing since Cantona! Love it - Martinez, Casemiro, varane incredible tonight. AWB - brilliant. Shaw brilliant. Has to be down to the second best Eric ever.
Do not get me wrong - I really love what ETH is doing for and with United. I believe he is the best manager, we have had since Fergie. But this is still a bit remarkable:
Someone did a bald breaking-bad pic post to describe such experimental creativity
he's going on about how shit we were in the first half
bringing the Fergie-esque standards back!

We're so lucky to have him as manager.
We've finally got a world class elite level manager again.

What a legend.

It's got to the stage now that I'd be so worried If he left because there's no manager out there who could have the same effect that he has
Must be what Liverpool fans have felt with Klopp. Deserves to win a trophy in his first season and get full backing under new owners

The boss is brilliant isn't he.
Identifies Sancho can play central and using Lindelof at CDM.

Not really - Ole had an amazing start. Then it went quickly downhill. I’d be interested to see the next 20.

Different trajectories though. Ole had an incredible start that eventually ran out of steam, whereas ETH has been steadily gathering momentum after a rocky first couple of games.
Nah it isn’t, Ole had a ridiculous new manager bounce and that turned out to be a disaster in disguise because it fooled the board into giving him the job full time.Do not get me wrong - I really love what ETH is doing for and with United.

It felt like a rollercoaster and way too end-to-end. Great for the fans but not how we should aim to control a gameHe hated that performance

What's up with the Ole comparisons? United free-balled it w/Ole and it didn't work out. EtH is the most modern and player relatable and stubborn in the most positive way manage since Fergie. Moyes is a solid nothing burger, LVG is ridgid and too old school, Jose is too old school and ridgid, Ole was a free hit and failed because he had nothing to fall back on...EtH is the best manager for the best time. Long may it continue.

Ole after 10 games had the most points of any manager in premier league history after 10 games so it's not surprising after he had such a huge new manager bounce.
I love the way he’s obviously feeling settled enough to start being creative with positions. Sancho at 10, with Bruno wide right. Shaw in central defence. Lindelof the DM!
Came here to talk about ETH and instead the conversation is dominated by Ole talk.
I love the man and I love how honest he is when he’s asked to assess the performance. No bullshit.
I'm curious what he now considers his best forward line. Is he serious about Sancho in AM? If so, will he be a back-up to Bruno (and also to Rashford and/or Antony I suppose), or does Bruno go out wide and Antony to the bench?
Only if everyone continues it. Let's help switch topics.
