I've always wanted him sacked..however..

I feel like he has finally found the right tactics for this 'transitional team'.

I've seen it from pre-season,

We always looked better with a False 9 because we need a deeper lying creator for our dangerous inverted wingers especially in counter attacks. This is why Sancho looked good in pre-season & even Martial as far as under Ole.

That's not a dag at Hojlund - it's like playing David Villa at LW trying to create for Lewandowski rather than Messi trying to create for David Villa - no matter the quality of players, one tactic is better than the other with the type of players at your disposal.

It's the same with Amrabat - he has played as a False 3rd CB instead of a higher CDM - allowing us to have a false diamond shape in midfield with both a false CB and a False 9 playing like shadow CDM & CAM's.

Ten Hag's not the right manager judging a players quality as seen by his poor signings - but he has finally found the right tactics & the tactics i have wanted since Sancho played False 9 in pre-season.

I've now changed my mind & fine with him staying aslong as the signings are not dictated by him at all purely because he is playing the tactics i have wanted arguably since Ole's 2nd seasons counter attacking team where we the 2nd best team in England. Changing the manager now may make us restart us finding the 'right tactic' over 2 or more seasons.

Ten Hag In changed from Out - not because of a cup win, but because of his tactics in the last 3 matches. If he started Hojlund today & not play the false 9 tactic then i doubt we would have won and i would have wanted him sacked for sticking to the tactic that hadn't worked out for a whole season.

The players are playing for him, and we've seen we can do better when we have our best players. In the right setup he could do well. The alternatives are not that impressive anyway.

Keep him.

* I might regret starting this thread tomorrow.
 
Would any of the other big clubs sack a manager who has won 2 cups in 2 years and been to 3 Wembley finals?
 
Disagree, Amrabat needs to return to Fiorentina even if he did play really well today
 
Not gonna lie, I might change my vote :lol: I’m an emotional fool:(
 
He got it right today, but even blind squirrels happen upon an acorn every now and again.

We need a fresh start next term, some players and a manager.
 
Ah yes, let’s make another decision based on emotions.
 
I don’t know. Hard to ignore some of the signs exhibited over an entire season just because of an underdog win at Wembley.

If he winds up beint kept I won’t make much of a fuss about it, though.

Who do we have (or who could we get for a similar price) that will fill that squad depth role? Honest question from a squad-building point of view. Especially if Casemiro goes to Saudi.
 
I’m indifferent to the whole managerial situation. I think the majority of work that needs to be done can be independent of the managers. But a good manager will ease it massively. I just hope he isn’t allowed near transfers
 
as awesome as this moment is, it should not change anything. Big picture and all ... sacking him is still the correct decision.

Delighted for him to get a proper send-off like this though.
 
When your cock is hard your head goes soft, when your cock is soft, your head works hard. Make decisions when your cock isn’t hard.

Yeah I mean we setup in the most obvious way we could have. Credit for doing so but any random Cafe poster could have come up with a similar plan, it's not like we suddenly clicked with those stupid fecking tactics he tried for 95% of the year and played City off the park.

Incredible people are U-turning off of one game.

This is one of the most sensible posts I've seen on here in a while.
 
No.

He has too many failures already (Antony, 8th place, bottom of an easy CL group, dreadful performances).
 
Im kinda neutral at the moment

Wouldn't be so bad if he stay, wouldn't be so bad if another one comes. I can see him struggling a couple of seasons more and maybe winning a league in 4 or 5 years. But it seems that those long manager spells are a thing of other times, not modern football
 
So the players are good now and we don't need a massive clear out?
 
This club is about winning trophies and so far he's been here 2 years and won 2.

2/3 finals won.

Unless we can get someone demonstrably ,significantly better, which we can't, we should stick with him.

This win has just cemented my view to keep him.

Poch, Tuchel et al are just a reset button precisely when we don't need it.
 
Those players haven't played for him all season. The ones who haven't been arsed for the whole season suddenly try a bit harder when they think he's already gone.
 
Can’t make a decision based off one game. He has to go. Thanks for the cup. And best of luck.

The players played for themselves today.

No
 
We don't need to keep him. But feck anyone who says that some PE teacher is better than him or he is the worst manager United has had.
He is not a fit but he won 2 trophies, his reputation is not destroyed like the previous clowns. Good luck to him.
