Thank you for your answer.Honestly, i think the way he has handled a number of issues with players such as Ronaldo and Sancho has been good. He also has the fact that even in a dysfunctional structure he won silverware in consecutive seasons. The players he has signed/brought through have been great overall (Antony excluded) and overall i see definite improvements in style of play.
We looked the better team for most of the game today and we lost due to two weak links in the team that the manager chose to put there:
1. No striker;
2. Rashford;
3. Maguire.
Obviously everything that is good set out above is pointless if he regularly gets decisions wrong that costs us games so I’m worried about his future here after today!
I fully agree with this. Our wingers get all the blame but the number of times they are isolated & have to dribble past 2-3 players doesn't help at all. Give me overlapping FB's anyday over this shit, especially as we play on the transition & don't control games on possession.Somewhat related note:
I offically am over the entire "inverting fullbacks and having wingers hug the line for width" gimmick. It can work if you have a bunch of Bernardo Silva esque wizards playing in those half space pockets and are constantly dominating the ball and squeezing the opposition out in their half, but it's largely just terrible for our own attackers to deal with if we aren't doing that. Rashford and Amad as a whole were poor today, but feck me it's not easy when everything they do has to come from recieving the ball on the touchline and being doubled up. If you aren't a Jeremy Doku esque take on wizard you'll largely have to try to intricately play your way into dangerous positions instead of being able to get the ball initially in spots closer to goal while a traditional fullback holds that width themselves. It' also isolates the feck out of strikers ( a huge reason why people seem to think we need ANOTHER striker when RVN himself would struggle for many touches in this system).
Just feels like managers copy the Pep JDP playbook but are unable to realize that he can do it through his personnel as well as clearly drilled patterns of final third play he has his guys make.

We also move the ball too slowly & make it harder for our attackers who are always going against set defenses & midfield.
I think fullbacks are not overlapping because we already have two #10s pushing high and our wingers are no good defensively.I fully agree with this.

We look shit despite spending hundreds of millions on his former players and third season in charge. Blame the manager.We lost a game.
Blame the manager.
Good point. But does it also work for Brighton, or only we wasted "dangerous opportunities"?
I think we've been wasting a lot of dangerous opportunities for the last 2 years and it doesn't make it feel any better.

Great post. I have always felt it but you expressed it brilliantlySomewhat related note:

Are you saying late in games, or in general?
We didn't look "shit". We've been "shit" against Brighton for years, that wasn't it. We were unlucky in key moments, not good enough in others, and had an unfair referee. In a difficult away game. Boo fecking hoo.We look shit despite spending hundreds of millions on his former players and third season in charge. Blame the manager.
A manager that oversaw one of the worst seasons ever. The manager that should have been sacked. The manager that doesn’t appear to know what he’s doing.We lost a game.
Blame the manager.
We didn't just lose, we got outplayed yet again by a team that cost significantly less to assemble. Danny Welbeck was let go by the club for not being good enough, yet he was far better than any of our attacking players today.We lost a game.
Blame the manager.
Yep.When watching other clubs, the contrast in how other 'top 6' sides attack and play in comparison is something
Would any manager train his team to do this
Boo hoo.A manager that oversaw one of the worst seasons ever. The manager that should have been sacked. The manager that doesn’t appear to know what he’s doing.
Yeah ok, the fans are unjustly criticising the bald God.
No we weren't.We didn't just lose, we got outplayed yet again by a team that cost significantly less to assemble. Danny Welbeck was let go by the club for not being good enough, yet he was far better than any of our attacking players today.
Go worship at your Ten Hag alter.Boo hoo.
Grow up.
Already am mate.Go worship at your Ten Hag alter.
No we weren't.
You people just make shit up don't you?

Keep telling yourself that.Amigo, we got outplayed. You can argue mistakes cost us, but mistakes help define what it means to be outplayed.
Do we though? We’re making silly little errors. We was by far the better team first half. Our pressing as improved from last season. We had some good spells of keeping possession. Plus only 1 of his new signings his startingWe look shit despite spending hundreds of millions on his former players and third season in charge. Blame the manager.
Keep telling yourself that Ten Hag is good enough.Keep telling yourself that.
I do.Keep telling yourself that Ten Hag is good enough.
