Again I ask, what decision could he have made that was so glaringly obvious that would have completely changed the dynamic of the game, save changing the entire team except De Gea which he can't do?
He could have started Fred instead of sticking with the same midfield that made us look like a league 2 side at home to Fulham.
He could have not compounded this (actually very obvious) error, by refusing to change it for over 80 minutes despite us having no midfield all game.
He could also not have then compounded it further by bringing off both our centrebacks and Mctominay at the same time in order to bring on the supreme attacking threat of Pellistri and Lindelof.
He also could have left Antony on rather than waste a substitution deliberately ignoring the fact his midfield desperately needed changing.
I mean it's one thing to argue whether he's above fair criticism or not, but he's had an absolute fecking mare today to the point it almoat beggared belief by the end. Would be like saying you can't criticise a restaurant waiter after he spills all your food on your wife's face, smashes up your table tripping over his own shoelace, then for no reason goes outside and sets fire to your car.
If he'd started Fred over Sabitzer/Mctominay, and we'd still been just as shite, and then he'd changed it after an hour, and we'd still been just as shite, and then brought on Martial, Sancho, Pellistri without leaving us with a) no way to get the ball, and b) no way to not immediately concede if we didn't have it, then maybe we can start talking about the players. As it is he did none of these actually very obvious things which,in the case of the last 3 subs basically amount to little more than not deliberately sabotaging your own team.
This game was like having Oke in charge again. I find it hard to be too harsh on players when half of them juat aren't good enough and the other half are playing against their own manager due to his ignorant what's happening on the pitch.
I thought there were alarm bells when ETH claimed we played well against Fulham and based on the the team he picked and stuck with today he was actually, somehow, being serious when he said it.
He'll risk undoing all his good work if he pulls off shite like this a couple more times as players respecting and running through walls for a manager is based on them not thinking the manager has gone a bit bonkers.
