Just ...appalling. I just hate this whole 'best transitional team in the world' garbage. You don't have the players to do it (despite 600 million spent), you can't coach a functioning attack, the strategy is so high risk for such a little reward. The Casemiro mistake sums it up for me: terrible pass but both our fullbacks are so far forward they can't get back and even if the pass had got through, we wouldn't have created anything from it. So what's the point?
Erik ten Hag | 2024/25 | Sacked

I’m sure it will be, just like he hasn’t got the players he wanted, historical injury crisis with Hojlund, Yoro and Shaw out, bad luck, and obviously these fecking players letting him down.
Out of all the ones around, Emery will sort this lot out and develop a style of play.
Yup, probably will point to one missed chance or stupid individual mistake early on, as if it had ended up changing the course of the entire game as a result.
It is painfully clear that he's not a good manager for this level
He won't be sacked. They fecking backed him to the rafters, they won't pull the trigger 3 games in.
Brace yourselfs united fans, it's going to be a long, tough season with many many defeats.

Interesting how he was clearly so close to getting sacked last season. Don’t care what anyone says he would’ve gone if we’d lost that cup final.
So he’s on a second chance and another couple hundred mill spent and he starts this season with yet another goal conceded in the last minute and yet another drubbing from a rival. Even if it’s 3 games in it would be fully justified to get rid.

Ineos in a spot of bother I guess. They must know eth isn't turning this around but they failed to sack him in the summer so the question is how pragmatic vs PR focused they are.
@Damien can we please have the poll back so that a sack watch thread can be avoided.
Sack him the second the whistle blows.
This. The fickle fans are to blame. They are major stakeholders and they turncoated based on one match after a season of unmitigated disaster. Now we’ve gotten a few new ETH players that the next manager will inevitably want to get rid off, and thus we’re even further away from going anywhere but down.
Out
Another day another inept performance that shows just how far out of his depth Erik is.
What is Tuchel doing these days? Surely he could get this team playing better than what we just witnessed.
Carragher nailed it on commentary. 3 games with Slot as manager we can see his input on Liverpools style of play. 3 years with ETH and we are all clueless about his
What's the point, it'll just continue to fluctuate after every game.
If INEOS are a serious organisation they will sack him. This is unacceptable.
Sack him
This is specifically for them. Hope they're enjoying it. 6 behind City and Liverpool already. Because of the flukiest FA Cup win in history.
"Unlucky"
"Tough schedule"
"New signing needs integrating"
"Individual mistakes cost us"
"Injuries"
Give him a new contract, he will fix this.

It was emotion after the Cup Final that kept him the job, now it’s back to reality and all the issues and reasons why he should have been sacked still exist.
He has overseen some truly awful, embarrassing displays. Cannot survive no one respects him.
The poll is ON
I’d like to know what the problem was with Tuchel.
Agree. It’s no surprise why most love Martinez but he just doesn’t start for any team competing for trophies.
I don’t see how anyone can make a genuine case to stick with him. It’s been three years and he still isn’t capable of setting up an organized team. He needs to go.
Out of his depth. Get rid. Give it Ruud til the end of the season.
Should have been sacked at the end of previous season FA cup or not. Watch them sack him now with no plan in place.
Yeah, tried to bear with after the decision to keep him, and hope things would improve.
But nah, not it.
But nah, not it.
He can’t keep getting away with this, and yet he does.
I think he refused what was offered.
With our trajectory that's probably exactly what would happen
It’s a serious possibility and it would be fitting us like a glove.
I think their plan is sitting right next to him.
Absolute fecking fraud. feck off tonight.
I agree with the first part, but not the second. I think all the recruitment is recruitment done that will be wanted by any manager. The recruitment has been good.
FA Cup credit is used up and gone. Dead man walking.
He extremely good with excuses which got parroted by a section from the fans.
"We can't keep sacking managers"
Heard that before about managers and then it all goes to pot. People were waxing lyrical about Ten Hag’s style of play after his first pre season game and still after 6 months. It’s not a good point to make. The point with Ten Hag is he’s just fully out of his depth with the charisma of an onion.
