Erik ten Hag | 2024/25
- Thread starter Cheimoon
- Start date
That’s pretty much it. We’re better but still not good enough.
Yeah I mean I went through pages of arguments with Benito and co. who were so convinced that we just had a poor season due to injuries last year when it was quite obvious that personnel was only a part of the issue.
He doesn't help himself to be honest. Early days, but I'm not seeing many new reasons to be overly positive about our long term future under him.
Didn't understand the Bruno and McT subs. Other than that, no complaints. Should have won.
Fine margins .
Fine margins .
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

Just shows how horrible Fulham were, both numbers and eye test.It only took 2 games for him to start losing again
Even until now I still don’t see what system he’s trying to implement
Liverpool will be fun
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.

Should have hired Tuchel in the offseason.
I have never seen any team sub out their CB for no reason at the 80th its so stupid and I don’t know what does it achieve
There has to be more to the Bruno sub. Bringing Mctominay on I had no issue with, but taking Bruno off sucked all the hope out of me.
Maguire still amazing and has to play?
He will not finish the season as our manager.
We look a lot more solid, silly mistakes on the two chances that were punished with easy finishes. I've seen us play worse than we did today and win a lot of those games.
Into his third season, should we not be much better than this?
Well he's extremely lucky to still be in a job. So there's that.
I don't see it but I hope he makes the most of the opportunity.
Too many mistakes week after week. I am sick of this guy.
After 600 mil spend and 2 years in charge i expect attacking team who dominates at least middle table clubs.
Again we get cowardish approach " lets not concede until 70th minute and then we will go for it".
First half we had 4 shots and one chance. Second half we created two chances. Yes, we were unlucky with Garna goal but it would just mask our general problem which is our poor attacking play.
Special mention about this game; McT sub for Bruno while result is 1:1. Awful decision.

The worst was Bruno for McTominay. Mainoo was gassed, leaving Casemiro wide open in midfield, mainoo should've been hooked for McTominay or Eriksen.
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?

Respectfully there are elements of where Erik is a semi decent manager but a good majority where he's rubbish.
Continually makes poor tactical decisions and even though he got the structure correct in the first half the personnel was wrong.
Casemiro himself was a headless chicken for both goals
Yup. Ruud will probably be manager by Christmas.
INEOS 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?
He is the best manager, making his team run like headless chickens by pressing. Just look at the players body language late in 1st half and by late 2nd half, there was so much space for Brighton to attach in midfield. Everyone just gets ready for a wasted season and Ineos to sack after this season. Looks the City, Liverpool and Arsenal, they are putting teams away in the first half or early 2nd half then they coast to victory. For United, we struggle to score or go behind and team will attack us when our players are out of gas. Same things will repeat this season. Nothing will change with this manager.
He hasn't a clue. Another season pissed away
Going to be another vary similar season to the last. Around zero goal difference I reckon
Feels like the inevitable playing out, at least if the plan is to replace him with RvN then maybe we won't have to go through another squad overhaul that doesn't get done properly.
Wait what? Surely a piss-take
Solid? Brighton could have scored 5 today. We got dominated.
A new 31 year old manager playing better football than the mighty Manchester United or to rephrase the puny Manchester United.
100%. We had awful luck last season and EtHs management / personal contribution was also horrendous - both things can be true
Exactly and they're repeated failings but people fail to see indirect causes. It's early in the season so we'll see but I don't see lessons learned to be honest.
All I've seen so far is Mount playing instead of a striker produces a better press and makes us more solid. That's not a solution.
I do agree fine margins, but honestly, so many of our games are on a knife edge. Surely sooner or later you want games to be more controlled and comfortable? Tough place to go against a good team, but I just see a lot of little niggles we just don't seem to be able to shift.
Whose job is it to get the squad that they’ve built to play well? The kit man? The janitor?
This one’s easy
I agree. Today looked like your typical game from last season to me. Brighton are a mid table team. They had the best of it. Just already seeing people bemoan ‘luck’. We scored 2 offside goals that were correctly ruled out. Thats not luck in the age of VAR, we scored 1 goal today.
He was but he was left on his own as Mainoo was struggling to get back.
Hopefully now people will realise €60m for Ugarte isn't that bad if it helps solve the problem in midfield.
I took nothing from the Fulham win as knew they were shit.
We're headed for 7th/8th under this clown again.
Not worried about playing them at home.
