24Apparently we’ve conceded 3+ goals 23 times under ETH. Absolutely shambolic
Can anyone explain why he is trying to play football that inevitability leaves massive space to cover while seemingly prioritizing signing players who lack pace, running power and the physicality to make it work?
What the hell? How is it supposed to work? Maybe if he played a possession game and looked to control territory and tempo you could get away with that style of player but he is effectively buying players with an obvious weakness and then asking them to play a style that exaggerates that weakness.
It is abject lunacy, I am watching these games thinking that Ten Hag is some sort of parody manger, playing a long joke that he can't quite understand that his bosses aren't getting. Surely no rational human mind could play this football with this group of players?
I think he was as good as gone after spurs game. They are waiting until international breakTwo cock-ups from Costa and a Maguire header are the only reason he'll even get to manage the Villa game.
True. Think the post I seen was before the game

He would never have got sacked tomorrow. Even if we lost 3-0. The upcoming international break is the perfect time to do so.Two cock-ups from Costa and a Maguire header are the only reason he'll even get to manage the Villa game.

That equaliser might bring a few out of the woodwork.
Apparently he is.Anyone know if Sir Jim is going to the game this weekend?
Get a roomYeah they always do mate, might take a day or two this time though.

This. Pot shots and blind passes just like its training. Don't think they have any faith in him.Players seem like they've checked out.
Looks like there's only one way for this to go now.

We may be granted a reprieve from this nightmare soon come...
Even without a battering at Villa, I don't see any angle where he survives this coming international break
I see your points and while I don’t disagree, I tend to be patient in general. Thats why I mentioned I would give him until Christmas.No Premier League club has conceded 3 or more goals in a single game more times in all competitions than Manchester United since Erik ten Hag took charge in 2022 (24).
2 trophies is nice but its not like he won 2 champions leagues or 2 premier league titles. Those 2 trophies do not erase the overall bad football he has consistently served up.
Feel this is the majority opinion now, even the reactionaries after the FA Cup victory seem to clearly see where this is headed now....
UndefeatedStill in the top 22
Perhaps INEOS might consider sacking him around Halloween.31st October, Kids dress up and go door to door begging for food.
