We’re so fecking bald under this bad manager

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.
It was baffling, he was providing threat. We needed threat. It was sheepish and typical Ten Hag to take off an attacker. It was another cowardly move. Keeping Bruno on was ridiculous, but I think everyone is in agreement about that.
Been thinking it for weeks hoping I'm wrong. The last 3 games had positives but the opposition were poor. But I have a feeling we're in for another rough season.
Rashford was an absolute shit show. What were you watching?
I certainly don't think it was daft. He wasn't outstanding and Hojlund coming on as a center forward wasn't exactly a backward move.
As I said I found it worse that Bruno wasn't hooked for Mainoo instead of Eriksen.
He was our best player on the pitch in the first 60 minutes. Doesn’t say much as no one stood out.
This would be sack worthy form at any self respecting 'big club', not to mention in tandem with horrible league form, but alas...
Next season? You would hope it's next week
Progress would be winning games decisively and scoring more than 1 goal.
It will never end for the EtH fans..always the excuse
I genuinely think that we aren't even capable of a purple patch under this clown. Unless you count 2-1-0 against Soton, Barnsley and CP as a purple patch.
Brentford will out work us easily
He can’t motivate or coach this team one little bit
Should have taken him off earlier. Embarrassing performance as usual from Rashy
Guys not trying to be a prick but it isn't about the players. The last manager we had that could get a performance out of an attacking player was ole. These players can all play. We need a newamager so badly.
No progress in results which is what matters
I'm honestly surprised he keeps picking Bruno despite so many disaster class performances. You don't even need to be a manager to see how bad Bruno is/has been. How is he not seeing that? It's appalling.
I really hope his time at the club is coming to an end, and I trust the higher-ups are paying attention if they have any real ambition for the club. We haven't excelled in any area under him, and I’ve lost confidence in our ability to compete with any team. It’s tough to look forward to big games because we all know what’s likely to happen.

I'm not sure getting rid now is the right thing to do as I honestly have no idea who there is to realistically replace him. But, as soon as that guy exists he should be gone.
Doesn't matter if at that exact moment we're in good form. He's not going to get us challenging again. He's a decent enough manager and was the right kind of appointment at the time, but this job has proven to be beyond him.

Erikson comes across like he couldn't give a wank in that interview.
Just another unfunny gimmick poster.
Not even close, they were not allowed to finish 8th and still keep the job. There were some standards and minimum requirements at least, not like this guy.
Really just annoys me that failure of that level was not followed by a deserved sacking.
Pretty much any marginal improvements from last season can be construed as "progress". When the bar is that low, raising it slightly isn't a hard task.
It wasn’t an attacking change though, he swapped Zirkzee for Hojlund, different profiles but a straight swap. I don’t know what you’ve said in other posts but the one I replied to said Rashford wasn’t very good which I don’t agree with, he was dangerous and put a few good balls in; he did as well as can be expected in this system.
I'm genuinley puzzled about the thinking behind his attacking subs most matches. He'll quite often bring an attacker on to replace someone and then 10 minutes later bring others on and reshuffle the attack including moving the player/s he just brought on earlier around.
Why not either bring them all on together or in the case of Garnacho tonight just being him on, on the left wing if that's where he's going to be playing in 10 minutes anyway.

Well he quite clearly would have been sacked had we not been in the middle of a takeover. It was a complete anomaly.
There's a few of them at it now. Sad stuff and not remotely amusing.
Yup. The sarcasm is getting annoying.
Yep, it would have been a fecking achievement in itself not to progress from last season we were so bad.
Just get him the feck out of our club for the love of God. Flippin Twente 8th in the Dutch league ffs
After that performance tonight I can easily see us losing the next three games. That should be enough to see him gone. Who replaces him? No idea.
Well, trying a different approach. The “can’t believe anyone supports this guy” responses have been flagged for inappropriate comments, so it’s easier to be positive. Can’t blame Ten Hag for poor finishing. Or bad transfers. Or bad results. Or injuries. Or poor tactics.
Optimistic that we’ll get a point on the weekend and continue building momentum towards a mid table finish.
Fecking hell that’s bad. There’s hardly been many big hitters in that 9 either to make it worse.
Enough of this logic please.No more
I think we're at the point where it's just funny again now. Look at our next set of fixtures, you know exactly how it's going to go, we only tune in for the car crash now. Then you've got some posters limbering up before the full time whistle to come in here and talk about how we're progressing because we had more corners than we did last season. It's all one big laugh now.
Here are the stats of last 20 games played in all competitions. I considered the pen win against Conventry and pen loss against City as draws.
Played: 20
Won: 7
Drawn: 8
Lost: 5
Goals scored: 37*
Goals conceded: 30
*7 goals against Barnsley helps

It's pathetic and makes discussing things pointless as you don't know who is just playing the role of an idiot or not. It was bad enough when we just had the odd one at it, now there's a litter of them.
Didn't "Stick to the Plan"
It’s going to be a long and miserable season isn’t it.
