That's what I mean. It's better playing with a false 9.

Think they will feel they let him down badly and be ashamed, as they should be.
One game and a lot of the credit he built for himself and the team is out of the window. He deserves our backing, but today was atrocious. And this is also down to some abysmal tactical errors.
It definitely will for the mentally weak ones. And evidently there's still a few of them out there.
ETH did a good job peeling off the top layer of mentally weak players, Maguire and Ronaldo etc, but there's still another couple of layers to go.
He can fume all he wants. Until unless he learns and prioritises how to control games and manage possession it will be chaotic.
Has to share a lot of the blame, got a lot wrong and has done in plenty of away games. Needs to come with a better plan in these games.
Overall he’s still done a great job so far but that was our worst ever Premier League result and him and all the players are at fault.

That happens with just one result?
It's a freak one and there will be bumps along the way but one result shouldn't result in losing a lot of goodwill.
Oh, my team losing 7-0 is actually great because the ex-manager I fanboy for now looks less shit by comparison.
Feck off. You're as bad than the other poster who keeps making anti-Ole posts and threads out of nowhere. Not everything has to be about fecking Ole.
Losing goals at the worst possible moments - just before and just after half time is rough. Liverpool could then control the game how they wanted, forcing us into cheap turnovers which they finished incredibly well. It's a hard one to take buts its one game
Thanks for everything Erik but it's time to GET OUT
So you don’t have evidence to back up your claim of what every manager would have done? I’m shocked.
They weren't rivals. Liverpool shipped 5 at home just a week ago.
the caf is full of babiesNo it doesnt. Arteta looked hopeless at Arsenal for a long time and now they're playing fantastic football and look dead on to win the league.
Ole ole ole i love you
Horrible day from everyone involved.
Brush it off and move on.

The only thing that surprised me was Dalot starting after his problems against WHU and having to bring AWB on.
Do I need to? There's no way we would have conceded 7, look at how the goals went in. You must be absolutely drunk.
Because he prefers transition over control and possession.
7 fecking 0.
Mate, I love you, but how the feck do you explain that.

Even Fergie's teams got absolutely battered at times, give ETH credit for the work done so far, he'll be honest in the post match and the players will know they have let him down badly
Yes and they'll want to make sure to make amends right away.
What are you talking about ? The 5-0 loss to Liverpool was talked a lot about here and in the media.
And we could have also scored 4. It flatters them. 3-1 or 4-2 its more of a result for the game.
They were obviously alot better than us second half where we went to pieces.
The way some people are reacting is just embarrassing. Grow up, seriously.
Yeah its crap, but if you can't see the bigger picture then have a word with yourself. He will be as angry, or more so, than you.
Absolute joke of a forum this place sometimes.

Yeah so tactically schooled we had the better chances in the first half.
I understand the want for a three man midfield as it helps control games better but we just don’t have the players and Bruno being a key player makes it harder. It’s a tough one going forward as I do wonder if a team can dominate posssesion consistently with Bruno as a second striker l
I do hope people realise we need a RB on top of a keeper for a reliable defense. People have put dalot on a pedestal like he’s fecking cafu where in reality he’s just being decent.
Liverpool 5 up at OT, Ole switched to a back 5 and we conceded zero after that. It's simple, stop the leak.
Impossible to do that with the current set of players
They are likely to go out of the CL, this is all they have to play for. Didn't help we made it easy for them. However we have other things to go for. We have one trophy, going for two more and can get Top 4.
I meant that was your comment and you can’t back it up so there’s that.
This is the reality check we needed before the last push this season.
You get too comfortable, this is what happens.
(Our ridiculous fixture list hasn't helped either)

Why do I need to back that up? It's not even Einstein. It's just logic.
One of his biggest tests and Ten Hag was lacking. Now the real test is where he goes from here. Have to believe he will sort this.
Yeah.
Smart this. They have removed last seasons 5 nil from memory
If the credit you gave him could be undone by a single performance be honest about the fact you didn't give him much credit at all.
Interesting to see how he will react to this. I’m curious if he will change his tactics or personnel moving forward.
That's fine, maybe take it up with all the baby-brained idiots yelling about firing ETH after every loss.
Not necessarily. It has more to do with shape and organisation than mere back 4/5/6. Fergie lost 6-1 too, it’s not unheard of this past decade. Important that we bounce back.
