I stopped caring.. I am pretty sure a lot of our fans are in the same bracket ..He's tried his best, let's thank him for that. It just doesn't work in this club. Seems his tactics doesn't work with the type of players required to play in the prem. His tactics have pretty much never made it exciting to watch. I zone out of our games all the time now and end up staring at my phone instead after 20mins.
Best of luck elsewhere.
Yup. I maintain that this is an unintended consequence of having Fergie so long. I’m also not enthused by any of the potential available replacements either.
I'm not sure much, if any, of the criticism has to do with just this particular game, or even the result/goal we conceded.I just cannot see how EtH is to blame for their goal last night.
That Twente player literally ran through 5 of ours.
- Rashford did nothing to press
- Eriksen was too slow at first and then totally fumbled the recovery
- Maguire was the biggest culprit, his attempted tackle was pathetic... £80m.. world's most expensive defender.
That's true, and I wouldn't put too much pressure on EtH for conceding this goal after that freak chain of mistakes and stupidity.I just cannot see how EtH is to blame for their goal last night.

Yep, all I'm seeing different is that the pressing is a little more organised, we're actually winning the ball back further up the field and winning quite a lot more 50/50s and physical duels, last season it seemed we pressed but didn't win it back much for the amount of energy we spent trying it, and barely ever won individual battles.I don’t think he understands why things aren’t working during games. I’m sure he can see it, but he can’t grasp why and then he makes some subs just guessing/hoping they will work rather than knowing they will.
Palace game is a good example where he was out managed during the game and we finished the game the worst team.
Our general set up this season is clearly better but that’s about it and it was already a very low bar to improve on that from last season.
Guess you can't blame a manager for anything really. Unless they're a player manager and play themselves. In which case tbf how could you blame the guy playing the role of a manager for the what the same guy in the role of a player did?I just cannot see how EtH is to blame for their goal last night.

Here in Oz the Brisbane Broncos, one of the biggest clubs in rugby league which is by far the biggest sport just sacked their coach who got the team intothe Grand Final in 2023, but failed to get in the top 8 this season with the biggest revenues etc . So here’s Man Utd persevering with ETH after how many seasons of spending money for little improve,ent, how does such a big club behave in such a small club manner.
Bite the bullet, find someone to push the players and basically make a difference to the tumescent displays we have seen for the majority of the time ETH has been in charge. Surely it can’t go on much longer.
It was an one off game. These results don't matter as we will progress.I love how some just choose to brush off last night's result, and our generally shite results to-date this season.
Because our whole team had been playing with a malaise for the the previous 10/15 minutes and he did nothing to change in it/give us a kick?
Which manager could enter this mess and produce instant and consistent results that appease the fans? Honestly, I can't think of one.
Yep, it's definitely part SAF but also part of the culture of the club - I guess a culture someone like SAF spent decades in contributing to as well.Yup. I maintain that this is an unintended consequence of having Fergie so long. I’m also not enthused by any of the potential available replacements either.
All this suggests is that you aren't thinking.
Its meaningless because the top 24 out of 36 teams go through to the knock out stages, Getting a top 8 finish just gets you one less round of games.In what sense was it meaningless. We’re already out of title race and way off the pace for top 4. So I think we’d be mad to not take winning the Europa league as a route to the Champions League seriously.
I really cannot tell who is WUMing anymore, I just have to assume everyone making excuses for ETH must be, anything else is just too hard to believeI just cannot see how EtH is to blame for their goal last night.

Porto and Fehnerbace away.Its meaningless because the top 24 out of 36 teams go through to the knock out stages, Getting a top 8 finish just gets you one less round of games.
I think its more important right now to give the fringe players a chance to impress and rest the first team players for a tough schedule coming up.
This is what i mean by people going OTT.Porto and Fehnerbace away.
Saloniki and Bodö/Glimt at home
Pilsen away, Glasgow at home and finally Bukarest away.
It doesn't get much easier than playing Twente at home, when even that only results in a draw, how can you be confident to finish in the top 24? This game in itself will not decide how further matches go, but this was the perfect draw to start the EL as league leaders (or close to it) after the first match and be able to go to cruise control and lead the league from the front (as you said, finishing top 8 is good enough and being able to decide when to field what strength is great for rotation).
Instead United is now somewhere in the middle of the EL table and in danger to drop far to the bottom on the next two matchdays and having to catch up.
Even if we lose all 3, I think the board will look at the fixture list after the break & up to the new year and decide that they should get a good run of results.Next 3 games before the international break:
I don't see us doing well at all in any of these. Any chance he gets sacked during the international break and we can start to look forward to the rest of the season? Or are we writing off yet another season because of the wrong manager being in charge. So frustrating. We're an incompetently coached club, and the style he builds towards is so fecking shit to watch too.
- Spurs home
- Porto away
- Villa away
Ask yourself the bigger question. Why is a squad that is full of players that have previously performed and had about half a billion spent on it all regressed to the point they're absolutely shit and can't beat a team ranked 120-something in the UEFA coefficient?I just cannot see how EtH is to blame for their goal last night.

It is the same he can not be credited for the goal scored, a beautiful but also lucky shot out of a scrimmage that Eriksen kicked just fine, but could have gone miles over of he touched it a bit wrong.I just cannot see how EtH is to blame for their goal last night.

Is that what he said?
An unhappy Ten Hag said: “You saw it was the game of their life, they fought for every yard and we didn’t and 99% is not enough; you have to give 100%, you have to kill the game, you have to finish it off. We are leading 1-0 and then there comes an atmosphere [poor approach] in the team. You have to go for the second goal and then you kill the game.”
Yes, better stats than last year but less games won than last year in the first 8 official games.All this proves is that stats, especially expected goals and big chances are pure bollocks
No, the current data suggests it's still too early, and the sample size is too small to draw any definitive conclusions. If the underlying metrics remain consistently high throughout the next few weeks, they could potentially signal something positive.All this proves is that stats, especially expected goals and big chances are pure bollocks
Because we can still go through by finishing as low as 24th. The top 8 simply play one less round of fixtures.How the feck was it a meaningless game? The EL is a better path to CL football than the fecking league is right now.
Yeah and league is also meaningless because we won’t get relegated whether we finish 16th or 5th. And we probably won’t finish lower than 10th anywayBecause we can still go through by finishing as low as 24th. The top 8 simply play one less round of fixtures.
I'll have you know it's actually two.I'm absolutely baffled by some fans' patience with all of this; I can't get my head around it at all.
After the worst season (minus one single result) in living memory, the fabled 'structure' is in place, he's been given the players he's wanted and a very successful summer transfer window.
