Is his name Mark Goldbridge by any chance?
Thankfully I know nothing of these social media types. I've never watched a single minute of any of them but this Goldbridge sounds like an absolute whopper.

Because we have best in class knee jerkers apparentlyBut why? Even if we beat Villa it doesn't fundamentally change anything.
Ratcliffe was a Brexiteer. The signs were there.I really struggle to believe this, because the implication would be that Ratcliffe and Co are morons
Yeah but according to him in his post match, judge him at the end of the season, just like last season..... deluded and arrogantErik is so shameless to stay at United. He got a cheeks to blame everything except himself. Time of FO.
Ten hag did say about INEOS that they are new to football, they don’t know that much or somethingJust as stupid as the FA final being a make. It’s just one game, anything could happen. Ineos behaving like amateurs
Insult to OleAlso his comparison of EtH to Benitez is very generous, to put it mildly. Honestly, rather an insult to Benitez.
Yes, Benitez wasn’t the most likeable character and not up with the very best managers in the world. Yes we made fun of him here. But EtH’s achievements are nowhere near his. Not even close.
Benitez had a lot less resources than the top teams when he was managing Valencia and Liverpool, yet he won 2 La Liga titles, an UEFA cup and a CL whilst mostly being competitive (although behind the top) in the PL. He was also repeatedly sacked at other clubs quite early with the results usually being not that bad (at least vs EtH), so you might say that he did not have enough time.
Compare that to EtH who was at Ajax with a budget of multiple times more than the next club and at United who spent more than almost everyone under him (and allowed him to stay after 18 month of generally awful performances and results).
Yes, Benitez eventually declined and was constantly falling out with boards/players especially in the later part of his career. But Benitez is more like Tuchel level manager. Whereas EtH is Ole level manager at best.
Lads we are 6 points off 4th not 60. He's not going anywhere
I suppose there's always going to be one game that has to be a breaking point for the owners.You have to laugh at this point. So if we win against Villa, it’s make then
As poor as Ten Hag is this and last season, I still have him miles ahead of Ole.Insult to Ole
There’s always a slight flaw in the planSame players was it?
Yeah but you’re weird. No offenceAs poor as Ten Hag is this and last season, I still have him miles ahead of Ole.
We are also 6 points of 20thLads we are 6 points off 4th not 60. He's not going anywhere

Ole was 6 points off 4th when he was sacked. And that was on the back of a 2nd place finish and reaching a Europa League final.Lads we are 6 points off 4th not 60. He's not going anywhere
We got outplayed probably in a good 80% of games last year, and I don't think I'm exaggerating.

As are youYeah but you’re weird. No offence
Those two games, Brighton and Brentford were his ideology/system. We got battered so he changed it.
Then we got more players for his system (last year) and the same issues we had those first two games extrapolated over a whole year. We got outplayed probably in a good 80% of games last year, and I don't think I'm exaggerating.
This basically means, the closer we get to what he wants from us - the worse we look. The improvement in form this year is mainly due to players being more available. We have more control in games Eriksen, we pressed well when Mount played. It wasn't the system.
I was browsing various online platforms during the game, and we still had some fans saying BS like 'let him cook, he is building something' when we went 2 up. Only then, for them to start saying 'nah, get rid of him when we went behind.
Some people are suckers and will never learn.

Dinosaur football doesn't exist anymore In top football for a reason, modern tactics destroy it.I am serious when I say any other manager would immediately get us playing 10x better than we have been, Big Sam, Neil Warnock... wheel Rednap out of retirement, any manager who understands the basics of football looks at the way we play and can see how horrific the coaching, formation and tactics are, and we are easy to beat because our weaknesses are easy to exploit.
He was better in season 1 than Ole ever was, so for me the latter season is redundant. Both not nearly good enough but one brought 2 trophies home. That's all I want to say, don't want to get drawn out into a debate over it.I don't think that can really be a thing anymore.
I play football a few times a week with a mixture of lads. Some are in their early/mid twenties and some in their 30's (including me). You'd have the odd chat about football in general. Some of them are United fans. And it's amazing how much support he had from younger United fans. I suppose most of them were 11-14 when we last won a league title. They can probably barely remember the 2006-2009 period of success. A League Cup probably felt like a CL to them after a 6 year barren spell."Building something"? Christ on a bike. How can anyone be even remotely positive about what they are watching.
It's an interesting point. Well to be fair, Guardiola changed his 4-3-3 tiki taka also to make it work in Premier League & Klopp his heavy metal pressing etc.. it's normal to adapt, but our adaption is so confusing not many analyst could see the Original Ajax ETH tactics in our current setup anymore.That's a curious point & you may well be right, he definitely changed the system to have 2 pivots following these results relying more on the counter attacking football we were used to under Ole. However crucially, I think we all as fans looked to the players from Ole's era as the problem given it was only 2 games in for ETH. It would be really interesting if someone had the time or interest to do a recap on those 2 games, to see if the warning signs really were present that early on in his tenure.
Interestingly though, he showed a desire to change system to suit in that first season after those 2 results and we scrapped to 3rd albeit with an overperformance by all the usual metrics. Why on earth he's now dying on his current tactical hill whilst leaving the defense routinely exposed after proving he's able to come up with a solution is beyond all comprehension.

I don't like Jamie Jackson at all. I'm not a big fan of Mitten either. I know he's well liked by some, but he played a big part in getting fans behind the manager last season.
He was even chuffed with his Twitter poll.
