Got two polar opposite opinions on that one
but yeah, Blind and Maguire are of similar quality on the ball. Defensively, Blind reads the game better whilst Maguire has the obvious aerial advantage, but it's not Maguire's ability on the ball that would be worrisome for Ten Hag. It's if he doesn't cut out making so many mistakes.
As similar as a bird is to a fish, sure.Got two polar opposite opinions on that one

Who we thinking for his staff then?
Van Der Gaag
Meulensteen
Stam
who else? or is that all?

I wish they could find ay of bringing in Edwin VdS
Maguire is comfortable with dribbling with the ball, but Blind won hand down all everything else with possession. He can pass quickly, his passing range is better, and the quality of the pass is higher, and much more consistent.Got two polar opposite opinions on that one

Maguire passing game is serviceable, while Blind's is actually playmaking at the back. Blind just has too much flaw with physique and athleticism which requires his team be dominating to to be able to cover for him. In Maguire case, playing a low block, would cover him, while his ability to dribbling would become beneficial. However, giving him space, he's ordinary, even counter productive with his ball hogging habit. He doesn't have the ability to pull off difficult line breaking, side switching pass consistently.
I think with DDG distribution is only a small part of the problem he needs to be able to command his area and communicate, something he hasn't been able to do in over 10 years here, replacing him with a goal keeper that can actually organise a defence instantly makes us better
He's a CEO? be a bit harsh on Arnold when the two best footballing decisions in a decade have come under his reign
Hopefully it's something he changes. I can't stand to watch our ageing players fail again under a new manager. We need an injection of youth and energy into this team.
I've been saying for weeks (maybe months now) that although DDG has probably been the player of the season and has made some incredible stops, he just seems almost incapable of keeping a clean sheet. On top of this, as others point out, he does not dominate his area, barely even the six yard box. Plus he is nowhere near brave enough and I thought he was beaten a little too easily at his near post again last week. I also don't think he inspires confidence and doesn't help his defence enough - although, of course, the same could be said of them.
Look at how Ramsdale has changed Arsenal's defending, then tell me DDG does the same for us.Yes, he makes great saves but he is nowhere near the level of VdS or Peter S. I've always said he is better suited to the less combative leagues in Europe - there must be a reason he was left out of the Spain squad recently
By the looks of things his advice is bearing fruit with the Hag appointment.
Are people still going to be beating this we haven't got a clue angle when behind the scenes their has clearly been big changes, to try and rectify the rot and make the changes that are needed to start running at a smoother pace now on the football side of things?
Not to get carried away but this is the most exciting signing in a decade.
Happy Ten Hag day
Really? Seemed like a lot of youth Ajax players got pushed up from far away
Merge & reason
I feel like everything in this thread belongs in the next manager thread until it’s officially announced
Done. No ETH threads before official announcement please otherwise it’s just doubling up on existing threads

I hope Erik brings with him his current assistant manager.. Van der Gaag.. who has played a key role in Ajax's defensive resilience.
He's bitter about Ten Hag being chosen over Poch. We're serious about hiring a Deputy DOF as well with Mitchell and the current head of Elite Performance in the Premier League on the shortlist so we're guaranteed to have ANOTHER footballing brain and we've now had reliable news that Ten Hag will be backed which isn't a shock as we always spend without CL football. Can't understand why people are excessively skeptical

He plays Utd fans for views and clicks. Every video has dramatic headlines to cause a stir. He's an absolute joker.
Not a proper red either. Somebody who knew him from school said he was a Forest fan for years when he was younger. Definition of a glory hunting plastic.
That’s a big shame if true, we have a few lads from the academy I’d like to see given a go, would be a waste to bring a manager with no interest in playing them especially for a club like ours.
Give him time = 3 years at least needed. No point turning on him once it starts to go sour which it will - he should be given the opportunty to tuen it around. Ship out Pogba, Martial and anyone else who doesnt want to be here. Mata and Matic for all theirs age related flaws actuallly look like they enjoy being at UTD. Rashford coud be sold to finance a new striker. Ronaldo, Cavanni gone off the wage bill. Henderson another £20mill sale to raise cash. Controversial I know but I can see Greenwood back next season - Im not condoning anything here but he's too good a player to let walk elsewhere. I think a long rehabilitation process running alongside his next few seasons should suffice. Interesting times at UTD for sure. Lets start walking out of the football wilderness.
I think so but how does that relate to the tweet in that post?
I don't get the skeptical and conspiracy nonsense lately, it's like they refusing to see what is happening in front of their eyes.
The cause is prob the damage done by woody in all but he is gone.
I don't understand
Can someone explain this tweet to me in the context that the new manager is a newborn baby and Manchester United are the parents?
Big day today.
IF greenwood is guilty he’s done at United.
United won’t want to be associated and can’t say I blame them
Seems to make sense? Get the players lined up and if the manager likes them pull the trigger.
Hi new manager.
We have deals to sign Harry Kane, Declain Rice and Danjuma. These are the reasons why we want them.
Happy for us to proceed?
That sounds a bit drastic
Yep.
The only concern I'd have is if that list is a generic list of targets they generally like rather than one compiled specifically with the new manager's style of play in mind. It shouldn't just be left up to the manager to decide who does/doesn't fit his style of play.
A development shared by the already existing permanent manager thread. There was a series of duplicate posts the minute this thread was created.
Seems like all the shit that Melissa Reddy was getting on here for reporting that it was close last week was incredibly unwarranted because she’s allegedly a Liverpool fan or reporter from Liverpool or some shite. Almost as if she’s a professional journalist or something?
No Antony then at this quoted price. (few posts above said right side attacker is not too priority).
His English is really poor btw...
In the Netherland almost everyone speaks fluent English.
Hell... even my 7 year old son can speak some English.
But watching Ten Hag speaks English is like watching someone take their first stab at riding a bicycle.

Good man!
What a load of shit.
There's a million "professional journalists" who talk utter shit, and she's one of them. You only have to go back to yesterday with Miguel Delaney.
