Doesn't seem like you can, no. You seem too preoccupied with what other people think.Can people not just enjoy a win?
At least for a few hours.
Go, enjoy it!

We win comfortably away from home 3-0 and you're unhappy, I think you need to find another sport to follow because you are not going to be happy following any football teamYes, we won with a good scoreline but I am really unhappy with this tactics. It seems we were trying to play on the left and nothing coming from the right but once the play was switched, Amad was taking on defenders and creating chances. Amad was taking on defenders and our FB provided good overlapping runs and yet we keep trying to attack on the right. Anywa, I hope I see him gone by Christmas .
Can’t press with Eriksen and Mainoo, on top of that ETH can’t coachVery concerning that we seem to have completely given up pressing the opponent. Any half decent team will outplay us unless that’s fixed.
I haven't read the post but Il guess you complained about him anyway, even in the context of today's game?Plenty are in the post match thread!
This is the Ten Hag thread, which is why I posted my opinion on him specifically with regards to today's game.
We are going nowhere under ETH after spending 600 millions.Why so miserable?
We lost to a pool side who are better than us, we were unlucky against Brighton and have beaten the two teams who I’d class as lower half opposition.
It’s not about being ‘ok’ with losing, it’s that you seem so unhappy we’ve won. Any 0-3 win away from home is not ‘standards dropping’, think what you want of ETH but they came out guns blazing, as is usually the case away from home, and then we got a hold of the game and got a good win and performance from the team.We are going nowhere under ETH after spending 600 millions.
If you are Ok with losing 3-0 at home against Pool, we agree to disagree.
We are boring as feck to watch also. We finished 8th last year and it’s the same old sh*t. We are just wasting time.
It's definitely a personnel issue. The idea pressing player is young, fast, fit, willing, technically good and injury resistant. How many of our players are all six?Not necessarily, we've been huffing and puffing away at it for over a season now. And I don't think the pressing in and of itself is the problem. I'm just not sure Ten Hag knows how to set the team up in defence and attack while maintaining the type of pressing formation he's trying to implement. It could be a personnel issue also.
Well, Dalot had a bad first half. Rashford did score though, so maybe you overreact a bit?I meant left.
How many of our players meet half that criteria never mind all of them!It's definitely a personnel issue. The idea pressing player is young, fast, fit, willing, technically good and injury resistant. How many of our players are all six?
It wasn't just that though I feel. Our attack was so ineffectual that when we committed lots of players forward against Liverpool we did very little with it. This high risk-high reward football he wants is really high risk and with no reward. Given our situation I really don't mind us being a little bit more conservative for a while, just to get some results and the confidence flowing.All the Liverpool game showed is that if you loet possesion needlessly in your defensive third good teams will punish you
Not even the first, this season were only behind Pool and City for xG. Creation isn’t an issue, finishing has been awful.ETH needs to solve 2 basic things to have a future here.
1. Improve our chance creation by 30-40%
2. Stop our players from making stupid mistakes(Case against pool as a reference point)
Just by doing these 2 things, we are basically guranteed top4. If he fails to address these 2 things, he will not survive this season.
The latter part of the first half, Southampton wasn‘t pressed in any sort of coordinated way and totally played around and through us. What the feck were we doing?All this press height debate, anyone considered you refine your tic tacs to suit the opposition?
Or is everyone that high on the high press kool-aid that it’s no lionger ‘acceptable’ to not have 6 men on the oppositions keeper at all times? (and then complain about gaps in midfield!)
It was ineffective but that's not why we lost that gameIt wasn't just that though I feel.

Funny because we were most vulnerable when we did not press high. You either commit to the press or sit off in a compact shape. For 30 minutes, we did neither.It wasn't just that though I feel.

We were busy scoring 2 goals in the latter part of the first half!The latter part of the first half, Southampton wasn‘t pressed in any sort of coordinated way and totally played around and through us. What the feck were we doing?
We pressed high the rest of the game and controlled them.
Plenty of shots on target today. We did make a big mistake: the Dalot tackle.ETH needs to solve 2 basic things to have a future here.

After we got overrun. The saved penalty got us back on track.We were busy scoring 2 goals in the latter part of the first half!

Go, enjoy it!
Yeah let's also ignore zirkzee failed to put away a tap in before tooAfter we got overrun. The saved penalty got us back on track.
It was very concerning: against a good team you concede 1-3 goals in that period. Game over.
On the field today... Mainoo Dalot De Ligt Martinez Zirkzee Ugarte (hopefully) GarnachoHow many of our players meet half that criteria never mind all of them!
I don’t know mate. I don’t have any coaching badges, don’t like to pretend I do, and didn’t listen to the team talk. I just enjoy watching, for better or worse.The latter part of the first half, Southampton wasn‘t pressed in any sort of coordinated way and totally played around and through us.

Fitness levels.
Why are our players never fully match fit at the start of each of ETH seasons?
Why isn't he getting them match fit during the summer. They are only now starting to look match fit in my opinion.
Did you think to look at our preseason squad before committing this to the internet?
Yeah I'm aware they all came back at various different times. Maybe we should have been using the lads who'd had more action during the summer then instead of throwing the likes of Martinez and Bruno into action without enough game time.
Yeah come on, it's only like his third season guys.Did you think to look at our preseason squad before committing this to the internet?
Yeah come on, it's only like his third season guys.
Ah, new season new excuses.I'm asking about this season
Ah, new season new excuses.
Miss me with that shit, as a club we are paying our manager and trainers big money. They have a squad and an expensive one at that.Ok you answer then. Who from the preseason squad should be playing ahead of the players who came back late?

Sure big man, enjoy mediocrity because I dont.Ok no logic and reason, just whining like a little baby
Eriksen was back earlier than others for one.Like who?
Well obviously Maguire and Evans should be starting, Collyer with Casemiro in midfield and Wheatly up front, first sub on is Antony unless he starts as a 10Ok you answer then. Who from the preseason squad should be playing ahead of the players who came back late?
