But 60 mins against palace
It will be worse than last season. Highly unlikely we will get a favourable cup run like last year.It’s going to be a long and miserable season isn’t it.
A lot of posters were saying that as a reason for keeping him in the summer. The reality is unless we get Guardiola, Klopp or a couple of others (none of whom will join) then whoever we get in next will be a gamble, Ten Hag was a gamble given he'd only managed in a relatively weak league.I'm not sure getting rid now is the right thing to do as I honestly have no idea who there is to realistically replace him. But, as soon as that guy exists he should be gone.
Doesn't matter if at that exact moment we're in good form. He's not going to get us challenging again. He's a decent enough manager and was the right kind of appointment at the time, but this job has proven to be beyond him.
Well, trying a different approach. The “can’t believe anyone supports this guy” responses have been flagged for inappropriate comments, so it’s easier to be positive. Can’t blame Ten Hag for poor finishing. Or bad transfers. Or bad results. Or injuries. Or poor tactics.
Optimistic that we’ll get a point on the weekend and continue building momentum towards a mid table finish.
Exactly. It really gets on my tits.It's pathetic and makes discussing things pointless as you don't know who is just playing the role of an idiot or not. It was bad enough when we just had the odd one at it, now there's a litter of them.
I think we're at the point where it's just funny again now. Look at our next set of fixtures, you know exactly how it's going to go, we only tune in for the car crash now. Then you've got some posters limbering up before the full time whistle to come in here and talk about how we're progressing because we had more corners than we did last season. It's all one big laugh now.
It's madness that they tried to sack him in the summer and couldn't. Went cap in hand to De Zerbi and Tuchel and got turned down by both.If INEOS are serious, they're going to have to show it very soon, because there's no reason we should have to watch this sort of slop for too much longer.
He's been backed, but is simply showing he's not actually up to it.
Understandable!Well, trying a different approach. The “can’t believe anyone supports this guy” responses have been flagged for inappropriate comments, so it’s easier to be positive. Can’t blame Ten Hag for poor finishing. Or bad transfers. Or bad results. Or injuries. Or poor tactics.

It was sheepish and cowardly for Ten Hag to take off an attacker for a center forward?It was baffling, he was providing threat. We needed threat. It was sheepish and typical Ten Hag to take off an attacker. It was another cowardly move. Keeping Bruno on was ridiculous, but I think everyone is in agreement about that.
Who would you hire then? Bearing in mind that we'd probably have to send most of the new coaches we've just signed packing as well. You'd also have to back the next guy for a time, and might miss out on someone more suitable.Enough of this logic please.No more

I can't tell if they're serious or not, but they've been backing him for the whole of last season so it's hard to tell.Nah the "sarcastic" posters are the fecking worst. There's barely anyone supporting him btw. The poll is pretty unanimous. There's only 3 or 4 who genuinely seem fixated on the notion that things have actually improved in any significant way.
Mount played in the Zirkzee role.It wasn’t an attacking change though, he swapped Zirkzee for Hojlund, different profiles but a straight swap. I don’t know what you’ve said in other posts but the one I replied to said Rashford wasn’t very good which I don’t agree with, he was dangerous and put a few good balls in; he did as well as can be expected in this system.

It seems like he might’ve been sacked in the summer if we’d secured one of our targets.

If it weren't for Eriksen mistake, we would have won 1-0.ETH fanboys will blame an individual mistake, but we didn't do anything to deserve any more than a draw, I cannot really fault any player, Rashford looked sharp and positive, Ugarte looks busy and useful, everyone played well enough, the issue is we look like we have control because we are playing Zirkzee so deep that he is effectively an extra midfielder, but then we are not really creating gilt edged chances because Zirkzeee is not fast enough to break forward from the deep position, so then you have Amad and Rashford running predictably down the flanks, with nobody in the middle it means they either have to cut back in and slow down the attack or have to beat their man and run at goal every single time, then as soon as we bring Hoijlund on who naturally plays a lot further forward we lose control in the midfield and so the chances dry up.
Twente could have easily won tonight, they probably had the better chances, and had they played the correct ball on the break around the 91st minute they would probably have scored again.
There is something fundamentally wrong in the setup and tactics, I have to say it doesn't look a million miles off something, but not sure that is not just down to the quality of the squad, I do not think ETH has the skills to get this working, seems he can either get us playing with a fair amount of control but limited cutting edge, until somebody inevitably messes up, or with no midfield whatsoever.
I predicted 1-1 was really not surprised by the performance or the result.
I can see us beating Spurs if we play Ole-ball but otherwise not confident
Look what @Sarni has birthed!There's a few of them at it now. Sad stuff and not remotely amusing.
I can't tell if they're serious or not, but they've been backing him for the whole of last season so it's hard to tell.
He's from the Hererra school of saying the right things and doing the opposite.He looked totally confused in that post-match interview. No answers, nothing. Fraud.
Look what @Sarni has birthed!
And we only won the Copenhagen game at home through Onana saving a last minute penalty.United’s last nine results in Europe…
3-3 vs Sevilla (H)
0-3 vs Sevilla (A)
3-4 vs Bayern Munich (A)
2-3 vs Galatasaray (H)
1-0 vs Copenhagen (H)
3-4 vs Copenhagen (A)
3-3 vs Galatasaray (A)
0-1 vs Bayern Munich (H)
1-1 vs FC Twente (H)
Another embarrassing European night for us under Ten Hag.
I mean, 7th or 8th is upper mid table I suppose. Yes, I like our chances.Let's stay positive...
...upper mid-table.
Mind your tone. Desperate is a right word to describe your post when you've just been called out for not knowing what the sub was for.You're just showing yourself as a desperate supporter of the manager, or someone who is purposefully being obtuse and a bit thick. You've already been told why it was silly by other posters who have replied to you, but you've ignored them.
Who would you hire then? Bearing in mind that we'd probably have to send most of the new coaches we've just signed packing as well. You'd also have to back the next guy for a time, and might miss out on someone more suitable.
I genuinely want to see something different at this point, but there isn't a Klopp or a Pep to bring in right now.
