We are not in the same league as Bayern.
Haven't been for a long time.
Freak results happen. Liverpool shipped 7 to villa 18 months ago.
United definitely have an away form problem.
Good post
Of course it would be a disgrace to sack him. The club has been having its best period since Fergie in terms of culture and the football being played, and the results are on an amazing trajectory with a trophy in the bag already.
Whats the principle of this argument? You can win trophies and put our club back on the road to greatness, but if we get battered by our rivals in a few games then that's unacceptable and you should be sacked?
I don't want to downplay the impact of these losses; I'm hurting and humiliated as much as anyone after Sunday but it would be utterly idiotic and indeed disgraceful to throw away all our progress over this.
When will people stop mentioning Brentford (and Brighton) game? It was literally one of his first games where he was trying out players and new system, after those few games he went more pragmatic to accommodate players he has. As such they shouldn't be mentioned as "ammo" against Ten Hag, how can that be so hard to comprehend? Do people not include context into things anymore, do we just spout numbers and stats without any context whatsoever? Bloody hell, give you heads a fecking wobble.
And yes, sacking him would be absolutely overreacting. Common sense is gone I guess.

A freak result can happen, 3 trashings within just over half a year, from which 2 to rivals is completely different to Klopp having one trashing after winning them the CL and PL.
But I don't want it to look like I want EtH sacked, far from it actually, was his biggest advocate whilst at Ajax and he's my favourite manager of the past 10 years. This just can't keep happening in my opinion, and is an absolute disgrace.
Some United fans seem to have no pride in the club, I do.
@ no pride in the club 
I ask again what is your angle here?
You saying you not saying you want him sacked, but are hinting we should be because we are showing no pride for 3 hammering. What is it you exactly want from the fans?
Most are buzzing on a huge turnaround this season from possibly the worse season we've had since Moyes season.
If you want to focus just on one of games and miss the rest in-between that is on you, or do you want fans to be calling for his head to show pride?
You seem to have poor comprehension skills, find me one place where I suggested that.

I am however suggesting that if you describe that result as just a loss, or just 3 points, you have a very different sense of pride or maybe none at all when it comes to this club.
What this pride you speak off?
I wasnt happy after the game, was just as pissed off as any one else, but it is just a loss, and it is just 3 points lost.
It's doesn't have to be one or the other.
Sorry if my comprehension skillz are off but I ask again what is it you are getting at?
You don't think he should be sacked, but you want something drastic shown to show pride

Seeing Weghorst start game after game after game has small elements of doubt creep into my mind about the manager.
That's more on Bruno than on Ten Hag, I think, if we are honest.
If Scot was playing in place of fit Casemiro - that's a big red flag.
Maguire playing Infront of fit and able Licha every game that would be a big red flag.
Ten Hag is unable to drop Bruno now but eventually he will.
Believe and trust the manager in this. Eventually it will work out even if now it's pain time.
Stubborn loyalty.
Antony I can understand as he was his expensive signing, but a striker on loan that plays every week because he works hard.
Maybe it's a chance of redemption for them all.
Not a big fan of Weghorst, but starting the same 11 as against Liverpool is excellent management. They all fecked up, and now they all have a chance to redeem themselves. Dropping one player would send a wrong message.
Seems to be quite a few leaks going round again.
Maybe he should play one of the high profile stikers the owners bought him in Jan.
I don't want wout starting tonight but your man talking like we got serious options up front.
Man Utd 4:1 Real Betis
Weghorst isn’t even being played as a bloody striker though.
Garnacho and Sancho both benched to play a striker out of position.
It's a tough call, which lineup to select. I get that he wants that XI to make amends, but I thought Casemiro picked up a knock in the first few minutes at Anfield and Bruno has been gassed for a while. I still get it. This team should have the spark to get a good result.
We're carrying 2 toothless players in our attack. Weghorst and Antony have zero direct threat to the opposition goal in the form of goals or assists. It's all on Rashford
And who would you play instead to change that? Sancho, Elanga, Pellistri? Garnacho who's had probably one good start for us? And Rashford as a striker, yeah? Cause that's worked so well for us.
All of the above are a better option, regardless.
I'm starting to have some serious questions and unflattering suspicions about his bizarre infatuation with Wout Weghorst. This is starting to look like something dodgy is going on. Why wouldn't we just stick Rashford there, or Sancho or someone?
I don't want to wonder about things like this, but would Weghorst be playing if he wasn't Dutch?

I hope his half time team talk is better than last Sunday.
Another game where he likely needs to make half time changes. That shouldn’t be happening as often as it does. If he picked the same team to give them a shot at redemption inhospitable it’s out the window by Sunday. Shaw and Dalot have no business being anywhere near the pitch.
WW better not be out in the 2nd half. Donkey.
So is ten Haag happy with that half or is he going to rip into the team half time?
What he sees in Antony and Weghorst is beyond me. He's not a great judge of talent.
Sure why not.
Sancho is not even an option at this point. He's completely useless. As bad as Weghorst is, he contributes immeasurably more than Sancho.
We're risking having this disaster result looming longer over us if we don't react properly after HT. I think the decision to go with the same XI was understandable, but it needs rectifying quite a bit now as it's not worked and the team is wilting.
He’s shocking, yet people on here were applauding ETH for picking the same XI after our most shambolic performance in history.
This isnt Too Fast 2 Furious: Ride Together Die Together.
The manager should and have to play the team he feels is most likely to win.
Garnacho cant buy a start, yet Wout keeps his spot in the First XI despite having been subbed off at either HT or early in the 2nd half multiple times due to performance. He has yet again had a poor first half and will likely get subbed off again at HT.
If he feels Wout in particular is the best option, then that is the managers decision. I am all for allowing players to redeem themselves, but the knockout stages of the European competition is not the arena for a feelgood story.
Wout works hard but he really does not belong to this club. I would prefer to see Elanga to have a go rather than striker who can’t score anything.
Hes gave them a chance to redeem themselves. Fully except a few changes ASAP because they haven't done it
Okay.
Needs to stop running some of these guys into the ground. Absolutely no way Casemiro, Varane, Bruno can be starting every single game if we are trying to compete for 2 more trophies
A front 4 of Rashford, Weghorst, Fred & Antony is completely reliant on Rashford scoring.
What if the manager does believe this 11 are most likely to win the game?
Worried for him a bit, only a bit though. This can quickly unravel at a huge club
