Ralf Rangnick | ex-interim manager | does anyone rate him?

We keep winning the xG but not winning games. Normally that’s a sign that performances are decent and results will follow. I think there’s often passages in matches where we look really good, but there’s often still too many passengers in the side that stick out (McTominay is not a 6; Ronaldo is over; and Maguire is just not good).
 
He’s no manager. You can tell he cannot read the game and doesn’t react to things.

Sancho has offered nothing in the last 15 minutes of matches and he keeps him on. Rashford comes alive in that time and gets subbed

I'm a bit shocked by how unreactive he is in games. I mean he surely must be watching the same game we are and seeing us faltering in second halves?
 
And people started on Ole after 3 fecking incompetent years. So, please stop white washing an average incompetent manager who was deservingly fired.

You realize you're doing the same thing as Ole supporters, right ? You're just blindly defending your favorite guy even though everything points to him being shit.

You were on the opposite side of Ole's argument when the inners and outers were fighting, but now that you like the new guy you're repeating the same mistake of Ole inners, and it doesn't seem you even realize.

Ralf has been a shit appointment so far.
 
For me he is weak, bu i dont think he is allowed to do whatever he wants as well

Anyway Watching United is a waste of time. Cant wait for some alcohol and East vs West 2 Armwrestling and see some real men fight for their lives in the coming hours =)
 
I dont know what fans see in this guy if they're confident he'd do a good job for us as our full time coach.

Let him go upstairs.
 
I don't think he is. Rangnick stepped aside at Leipzig to allow Hasenhutl to take over. He's better suited to being a sporting director these days.
No doubt about that but he's far superior to ole.

Apart from conte did we have another option ?
 
This is some brain-dead reasoning. Was OGS winning the league before he was sacked?

Was he feck

I'll say it, we were better under Solskjaer last season than in the 10 games so far under Rangnick.

People talk about him steadying the ship.

Carrick and Mckenna steadied the ship and he hasn't improved us since then.

Have you taken drugs today?
 
still think Ragnarick the right man for the job. Love his post match interviews - a lot more thought and insight compared to his predecessor.

If only there're trophies for being good in press conference, we would have had ton of them by now.

The problem is that was Ole last season and not this. If Ole had us playing like last season he'd probably still be here

And he might not even be good enough upstairs as well. But, not that United usually goes for proven and currently peak people anyway.

:lol:

Subbing Sancho instead of Rashford today would have been grounds for immediate dismissal due to gross incompetence.
 
I won't give him these 2 years consultancy bullshite. I see nothing to make me think he deserves it. Sack him now.
 
My feeling is that he's better with his own players that have been drilled and prepped pre-season how he wants - a linear coach, if you will. Not a manager in the pure sense of the word - that guy who can turn up at any club at any point in a season and make an impression with the personnel there

I don't know of many top class managers that are that type. Tuchel did it with Chelsea last season but that squad suited his exact style anyway, hence why he's returning back to the side he had last season even after 2 transfer windows.

Pep and Klopp both took a long time to get their sides playing how they wanted and spent a shitload of money in the process. Since they have had their sides established it has been slight tweaks, but getting there took them time.

The only managers that come in and make a noticeable difference straight away are usually relegation fighters, that establish a hard to beat system and build from there.
 
It's the same story every game. Score 1, fail to score a second. Fall to pieces.

For me, we look far more organised, we are a threat in more areas and we are more cohesive in our defending.

But if we can't hit a barn door and make basic errors he won't be successful.
 
I am not sure what you want? Clearly under Ole it was just open football, no real tactical set up and when you play that way, the result could go either way.

Under Ralf, he wants more control where he trusts the team to get a result, a game plan so you dont lose 4-1 to Watford, or win 1-0 with the opponent missing loads of chances.

I mean most teams who want to win stuff are highly dependent on goals, otherwise how do you win a football game?

Missing the point completely, Van Gaal's idea of controlling a game meant 3 chances in 90 minutes and probably a similar number for the opposition despite the possession disparity. And as expected, 3 chances isn't enough as you'll rarely convert 2 or 3 out of 3. This football got us nowhere, falling to get top 4.

Lazy analysis of Ole's football too, no tactics but Pep couldn't get the better of him most of the time. Sure, Ole couldn't get us to the next level, but on the whole it was a better level than the rubbish under Ralf. No new manager bounce says it all and judging Ole on the performances at the end isn't a fair reflection.

Ultimately our main problems are with the squad, and planting any manager with them will only have limited success. Bad apples have well and truly spoiled the whole squad, that will need sorting first before we can get decent results from any manager, I just hope the football is nothing like what it was under Van Gaal.

There's not many of those, and those people are stubborn. As much as I like him, I'd be baffled if he got the job full time. He's not the one. Interim managerial role is his ceiling now, and I think it's probably too much for him even that.

Some of the pure anger towards him is hilariously over the top though.
 
Sticking with Ronaldo until now has been understandable. Nobody wanted to believe this was Sanchez 2.0. Well, it is.

We’re not winning games because that’s how it usually goes when it’s 10 v 11.
 
No doubt about that but he's far superior to ole.

We didn't have an option. Conte would blow a gasket here, he likely will at Spurs. Ralf did not sign Ronaldo or any of the players, but especially Ronaldo. In fact if he had of been here I could guarantee he would have said it was a bad idea. The ones saying he would score bucketloads at City, well he would be knackered after 30 minutes due to their work rate. If he did score goals it would just mean somebody else doesn't. They score for fun anyway. Anybody who comes in will have the same problem if we do not build a side to suit them, instead of trying to make players with the wrong attributes play a way that they struggle with.
 
At least under Ole we had moments of individual brilliance. Under Ralf we have absolutely nothing. Going backwards with him.
 
Ralf is making it harder for us to get a top coach next season. I don't think any elite coaches would want to join united if we are not in chamions league. Might end up with potters or Rodgers, to help us get back into top four.

I believe the players dont fancy Ralf and are not running through walls for him. Southampton players was playing with a high intensity throughout the game. This is why it is good to have a manager that the players want to play for.

Mate, Rashford was terrible. Sancho is the superior player, Rashford can’t even lift a proper cross these days.

I am not angry with Ralf, I am angry with a board who let this season fester before making a decision. While making not knowing enough about football to stop rewarding all and sundry when they do the slightest little thing well. I just hope Ralf hangs in there long enough to go upstairs. If he doesn't we will go from bad to even worse.
 
Came up against a really well organised side in Southampton today and it totally rattled us leading to complete revertal to type and Ole ball. Really disappointing performances from some of our players, Bruno and Rashford were awful after 30 mins. Ronaldo is currently pointless.

It's definitely difficult to play against the most expensive squad in football when they are set up to play like Stevenage against a premier league giant in the FA cup. Tactical genius! ffs
