How often are we going to use this excuse though? The constant isn't just that Ten Hag plays him, it's also that Ten Hag sets up our team to get dominated nearly every game, leaves massive gaps in our midfield, we have no recognisable patterns of play, we can't score, shit players have been brought in under his request because he saw their face once in the past, tried to copy the 2 AM formation that Pep and Klopp were trialing and fecked that up too, his subs are always late and wrong, he seems incapable of recognising what our problems are and he's in his third season. Third season! At what point does any of this become his responsibility?!
Every game a player will make an error, it can happen to any team. The difference with us is that it's so noticeable because we are always flying by the seat of our pants and struggling to compete with anyone.
The only thing Ten Hag does well is say "heh" and market himself, do interviews and write posts where he manages to get people to sympathise with him and believe that next week will be different. I'm tired of believing any of it. If it's emotional to look at the last 25 months of the same problems and say "that'll do, Pidge. That'll do" then fair enough, but I think he's had more than enough time to prove himself and failed.
