Some overreactions in here. He may not be the man to take us forward but we didn't look that bad today. Poor substitutions cost him again.
I think we're better than we were last season, but I doubt we'll be better by enough of a distance to get top 4.
I'm really worried by the squad we will be left with when Ten Hag leaves. I don't look at this squad and even remotely get the impression that a different manager could come in and get a tune out of them.
We look better than last season. Unlucky today that.
I wont even moan about the subs he brought off Rashford and Bruno so fair fecks to him
Definitely can’t do another season of this. I’ll lose my mind.I can't do this anymore. Not for another month, nevermind another entire season. Can somebody in INEOS just finally get rid of this failed manager and we move on?
People mentioning how brilliant we were today. I felt we were 2nd best in most department and were comfortably closed down
Is everyone on a pisstake?

I mean the Zirkzee offsides was objectively unlucky, because he slid going for the ball on a super wet pitch and it carried him basically into the goal where he couldn't avoid the ball.
But the point is we shouldn't be pointing to a single event as a reason for being unlucky when the opposition also hit the bar and had another shot cleared off the line as well.
This is broadly a very silly comment. Not really worth debating.Solid? Brighton could have scored 5 today. We got dominated.

RVN will take over as interim, do well and become the manager like Ole did. This is what's happening this season, can;t be more obviousINEOS won't stand for it for long, he will be gone by Christmas...my question is, what do we do with RvN and the rest of the high-profile hires we have just made in our coaching staff when the new fella comes in?

In the last 7 games, they've beaten us 5 times mate !!We look better than last season. Unlucky today that.

Yes agreed. It can’t be a coincidence that we capitulate so frequently often during some good provenances. He’s had a fortune to spend and that remains a real part of our teams makeup.I have genuinely never seen a manager so creative in finding ways to lose:
The midfield is so important to his system, especially with the amount of running they do.
The Brighton manager took both of his midfielders off. Granted, Gilmour came off around the 90th minute, I still believe this was a reason as to why they finished stronger.
Us, on the other hand, had poor Mainoo and Casemiro on for the whole game, who both looked leggy around the 70th minute.
Definitely feel he should have bought Eriksen and Collyer on. We needed that much needed energy to keep the momentum we had once we got the equaliser.
His team selection and daft subs cost us today, Amad shouldnt be starting ahead of Garnacho and Zirkzee as he isnt ready or good enough to be a regular starter for us and Maguire should not be starting ahead of De Ligt.
That's basically it, and Mazraoui on the left insteaed of Lindelof/Evans/some other makeshift cb. So we did look a bit more stable at the back, which gives us a platform to play possession football, at least in the first half. Not seeing any other improvements though, for attack we are still very much reliant on individual brilliance.There are some who believe we have improved. In which areas is a complete mystery given that our attack is still dysfunctional, our wingers haven't suddenly improved from what was a pretty good year for Garnacho last season, and there's nothing different about Onana's antics this year. The only improvement I see is the availability of Martinez, but we're probably clutching at straws if we're crediting ETH with one player being fit enough to play again.
That works both ways. Welbeck also hit the bar and they also had a near goal that was cleared off the line. We were average at best today and with a result to prove it.

I don't think people are reacting to how we looked today. I think people are reacting to watching the same movie for what feels like the 20th time in a year.

I have genuinely never seen a manager so creative in finding ways to lose:
2-0 up against Sevilla with 10 mins to go and draw 2-2. Lose the tie 3-0.
Score a late goal to win 2-1 against Arsenal which is ruled out and they go up the other end and score.
2-1 up against Galatasray with 15 to go and lose 3-2. Never recall a team doing that at Old Trafford.
2-0 up against Copenhagen on 43 mins and go in at half time 2-2. 3-2 up with 7 mins left and lose 4-3.
2-0 up against Galatasaray in a must win. 3-1 up. Draw 3-3.
2-0 up against Wolves. 3-1 up against Wolves. 96th minute Wolves make it 3-3.
3-2 up against Chelsea in the fecking 98th minute and lose 4-3. What the actual feck.
Last minute 96th winner against Brentford to win 1-0 yet they still equalise in the 99th minute.
3-0 up against Coventry and a toenail away from losing 4-3. Against Coventry. What the actual feck.
Last minute equalise against Fulham at OT. Going to win it in classic United fashion? No. Fulham go up and make it 2-1.
And now today. Most hilarious freak offside you’ll ever see to go 2-1 up. Completely capitulate and once again they score in ETH time.
Historically the worst season ever for the club and he gets rewarded by fluking a cup final. The writing was one the wall.This is what happens when our fickle fanbase forgets a whole season because of one FA cup win.
Never seen such an average manager get backed to the hilt, based on what? A carabao cup. Nice.
We have improved. Our press is a bit more organised and we are a bit more solid in the middle.There are some who believe we have improved. In which areas is a complete mystery given that our attack is still dysfunctional, our wingers haven't suddenly improved from what was a pretty good year for Garnacho last season, and there's nothing different about Onana's antics this year.
