Not sure who is taking the piss and who is being serious anymore.

But if you really think salavaging a draw after throwing away a lead is enough for him to save his job, then it really does emphasise how far we've fallen.

It will be. We have ETH fans, not united fans because for some bizarre reason, our fanbase wants to hold on to managers as if their life depends on it.

We are a total reckless outfit with little to no control on any game we play but that doesn't seem to matter because when he needs to go, he gets a result.

They gave him two games to save his job, they are not going to fire him after a heroic 3-3 draw at Porto while down to 10 men.

Are they kids analyzing a game or professionals. It's not about the result. Its the football and whether he's a foundation that progress. You are not looking at UTD this game where they lost a 2-0 lead as a team that tactically and mentally has a solid foundation.
If you are a serious professional football person there massive negatives from this game
  • The team are way too open
  • They don't know how to control a game
  • They ill disciplined - Bruno got carded 3 times in 2 games for high foot
This isn't a team I'm looking at that's on the path to contention in a few seasons. They play like a midtable team where their ceiling is Europa league.

Genuinely excited that I might only have to watch 90 more minutes of this shite before I can start being positive about United again. I don’t know if I can handle him being here after the break.

I'm excited at that hope. But I have little expectations that it will happen.
 
Another terrible night in so many ways. One positive is we didn't lose so should celebrate that point while taking this game as another example why he should be sacked asap.
 
2 points from 6 in the Europa League, likely going to be 7 points from 21 in the Premier League after the weekend. What a complete mess.
 
Is it bad that I'm kinda bummed out on the last minute winner because it buys ETH even more time?

:lol:

If the "best in class" were pleased with that then our future is very, very bleak indeed.
 
After having a bad day, I stayed up till 3 just to watch us hand over yet another 2 goal lead. I hope EtH is gone for my sanity at this point.
 
It's time for him to go! we play like his Ajax side did in that last 10 mins when they choked against spurs, but instead of playing like that for 10 mins we've played like that for 18 months

I'm convinced they're not actually watching the games now.
 
Predictable he‘d luck himself to an unconvincing point or two against Porto and Villa. Just enough to save him his job
 
Needs to go if we want to give ourselves a chance at the weekend. If we want to throw that away too then keep him on for one more.

I genuinely hope so. As that injury excuse was the typical thing that United fans drum up to defend a failing manager that gets repeated so often it becomes almost fact.

That equaliser might bring a few out of the woodwork.

They won't sack him, it makes them look bad. They care about their image more than how the club is ran and results. They told everyone they're keeping "calm heads" whatever that means.

They don't have a clue. They made a few bad decisions last summer.

Double downing on a bad decision doesn't help their image. We've seen how ugly it can get when its over for a manager and he still has the job. It got pretty ugly for Mourinho, Ole, Rangnick. Better to rip of the scab. If they keep ETH and we starting 4-0, 5-0 defeats their image gets worse.
 
And so it drags on for more.

It is a just a pathetically inept approach to football, just pure chaos, what can even his most impassioned defender point to as an example of competent coaching?

Get rid, fecking hell INEOS, do they not watch the games and just get some stats whizz to put together some flattering metrics to convince themselves there is progress.
 
Dead man walking. Maguire gave him lifeline until weekend but he is finished
 
It’s sad when you reach the point where a part of you wishes for Villa to hammer the final nail so this would end and we could all be put out of our misery.
 
I’m dreaming of seeing EtH explain, in a coherent manner, what our tactical masterplan is. Cause , if what he sold in to INEOS is to be a world class counter-attacking/direct team, that is fine, but what do we do in defense? How do we defend the counter-counter? Cause he seems 100% without a defensive plan.

Changed my vote after Spurs (i know, i’m overly patient), and this game did nothing to change it back
