While I don't think he is as bad a coach as is made out (tactically), he just doesn't have what it takes to cut it here. It's obviously a tricky squad to manage, but it's just not good enough, the standards are too low. There's no way a top-tier manager lets the players get away with the sloppiness that we see week after week. ETH hasn't got a hairdryer.

What's your point really? We are entering the territory of anyone would do a better job, such is the abysmal job he has done.
I genuinely don't know for how much longer I can keep watching us with him in charge.
I don't get disappointed anymore. I don't even get angry, that too has past. I just feel nothing.
I miss the excitement of watching us play and the enjoyment during games.

Of course not.
Did he say anything about the horror VAR decision at least? You know, go out with a bit of fight?
Not sure about that. Many of us weren't convinced by that win and still thought he should have been a goner and feared exactly what happened later (that INEOS were dumb enough to keep and even extend him).
Those fans who are “supporting” are not supporting the club. They should be supporting the club not individuals. If a manager or player is not representing the club the way they should be fans should voice their displeasure, not clap them off. They are supporters of Manchester United, not supporters of ETH.
Mourinho and Van Gaal were fired for less.
We just seem content atm just limping along unnecessarily writing off a season which is still salvageable
Just basic common sense this. But a lot of people dont have common sense and chase the illusion of being morally superior.
Both. Even the positives weren't anything great that you could say we're going places. But that is how low the standards are these days. Ten Hag supporters can feast on a 2-1 loss to the 16th place team.
When Sevilla beat United on the way to win the Europa League a few years ago, they were on their third manager of the season.
Probably hiding behind it to cover his abysmal coaching again, such a loser this point. Please just walk away with your compensation and stop dragging the club further into nothingness, meaningless, emptiness.
Bloody hell. Coward of a manager.
Score fecking goals and control games and we won't be derailed by VAR all the time will we Eric?
Bad VAR call, so I choose to disregard this game and the fact the club is facing relegation. Just wait until Shaw and Mount are back.
Anyway, without a doubt the worst manager I have ever seen. No amount of Berradas, Wilcoxes, Ashworths and whatever other random faces Ratcliffe the Great brings will fix it.

A tricky squad? He bought the damn squad.
I'm not saying for a moment that I think Southgate should be given the job but when people were doom-mongering about sacking Ten Hag because "just imagine how bad it'll be if Southgate is appointed", surely the current situation cannot be much better than what they were envisioning?
We're at the stage now where all we can ever really celebrate is being dominant in one half of a match against an underperforming mid-table side. Let me repeat, this is a West Ham side that are contemplating sacking their manager - they're not even playing well.

ETH might be a terrible manager but no other manager has been shafted by VAR as much as him, plus its not his fault our players just find a way to keep missing chances.
Maybe you make your own luck.

Is he gone yet?
His standing ovation at the next home game is going to be immense.
Gary O'neil probably has.
These are the type of excuses that run in season one. We’re in season three!
Southgate in?
Wonder how bad does it need to get for the match going fans to start booing him and trying to force him out. You never get the sense that he’s hated or disliked by the matchgoing fans.
Don't think the Ineos team have a clue what to do at this point. They didn't have a backup plan for Ten Hag imploding yet again this season and are probably scared of us getting worse under an interim.
I'm starting to think he has naked pictures of someone
fecking hell.
Every top-top manager knows how to utilize their #9, ensuring they conserve their explosiveness for runs in the attacking third throughout the 90 minutes. That's how they create space and score goals. Instead, ETH uses his strikers like pressing headless chickens, and fails with every kind of striker, including the top scorer in the game. Give him the top 10 strikers of all time, and he will fail all of them.
Fair. I'm basically referring to Rashford and Bruno, who are of obvious importance and impediment to the team simultaneously. His choice to keep playing them though...He can't respond anymore. If he could he'd likely say you're bullying him.
Anyone in at this point bud
I’m only being half serious, but this cannot be allowed to continue under EtH
Wait, has he been banned?
We have 1.22 per game after a quarter of a season. If we improve to 1.5 points per game until the end of the season, we will finish with 55 points.
If we improve to 2 points per game (which will be difficult to achieve given what we have shown so far this season), we will finish with 69 points.
Last year we finished with 60 points.

Not sure. All I know is he can't respond currently.
I even saw someone say it's not season 3, but season 1 under a new structure.
Blows my mind.
Plan A could have been anything. The point I am trying to make is he has been in the job nearly 2.5 seasons and bought in a lot of players and promoted some. So why cant he implement this plan A now? Why is it still not possible with all the coaching sessions and players which should have been bought to implement plan A. This is all on TH failings.
