Will you ever go away with yourself. We had chance after chance after chance. We should have been 3 up by 20 minutes.
 
Ronaldo will be to him what Rooney was to van Gaal.
 
68% possession, 85% pass accuracy and 22 shots on goal (only 3 on target)

It is so much more controlled than Ole and actually has direction.

Im not going to get annoyed at the manager for that. I am so much happier watching our games now.

On another day, it’s an extremely comfortable win. Total control. And this is playing with the holes Ole didn’t fix in the first team.
 
Sancho our most in form attacker rested for an absolute must win game.

Well that's the easy run over now and we've blown it. Season basically done.
 
Made more and better chances than Spurs did in their 4-0 win earlier. No idea how the feck anybody is blaming him for that unless your brain can't comprehend anything beyond 'results bad = manager must be bad'.

Absolutely shocking finishing for the last month or more in almost every game.
 
His job would be a lot easier if he had a striker he could actually rely on, the general play has improved but he’s got blunt instruments upfront.
 
Not on him today at all. Eventuslly we will start putting these chances away

So Sancho decided to sit this one out himself did he?

We're not good enough to rest our best attacking player.

We're also not good enough to have our best attacking player too tired to perform against City, Spurs, Atletico and Liverpool games coming up.

Sancho is a creator more than a finisher and we created more than enough without him today.
 
As much as I think he’s got far too much praise and too much concession given so far, I think today can genuinely be labelled one of those days.

I mean, results like this isn't really surprising when the only tactics is to force the opposition to lose the ball and make mistakes. The counter is to simply let us have the ball, where we look clueless.

Well, the manager can set a tactic and the players to deliver.
We create many chances less be countered attack under his tactic today, but the players cannot score that chance, it's not the manager fault..it's the players fault. Look at our player today, what's a rubbish finishing.
A 500+k week salary cannot score even a goal of many chance. What a shame!!!

He is still responsible for how we play in the final third, yes ?

Yep, rangnick should be coaching our players to put away open goals. All this fancy coaching amounts to shit if our players cant score open goals or sitters.

What are you on about? He’s nothing like Van Gaal, Jesus Christ.
 
Absolutely ridiculous people blaming Rangnick for today.

He can’t start Cavani and absolutely shouldn’t start Rashford upfront the way he’s been playing. Ronaldois his only option after we ditched Greenwood and Martial.

Nobody could finish today. Very poor. We created so many chances. Ronaldo, Elanga and Bruno should have had 5 goals between them. Just one of those days. Wouldnt go in.

Our general style of play is much better. We need to replace dross like AWB, Fred from our starting lineup. And buy a top striker.
 
Just one of those days whereby we really should have won by 4 goals.

Maybe to be critical only one of pogba and bruno should have started.

Elanga looked good though. Missed a sitter though.
 
I can't fault a single thing Rangnick did today. Us relying on Ronaldo and Cavani to be leading the attack week in and week out was a terrible idea.

Luckily we'll have no choice but to replace them in the summer as both will definitely be gone with no Champions League to play for.

It's nonsense because having stats like the ones in question, I'm going to assume it's stuff like number of sprints, pressing actions in the final third etc., doesn't have Ralf Rangnick or his "philosophy" as its origin. Tuchel learned from studying Pep as much as he'd ever have learned from Rangnick. Klopp never learned from Rangnick. Hasenhüttl neither. They just like a similar style, which is why Rangnick hired him.
And Pep and Bielsa, obviously not.

Quick transitions, pressing, countering aren't things that Rangnick could monopolize as his philosophy, as much as he's trying to put a brand name on it. It's just nonsense. He is just one among many influential people when it comes to coaching and managing, and then he's one of the less impressive ones in his own work.

Some points I agree with - there are other influential people who share similar values and who themselves influenced other managers a lot - like here Bielsa, who is using similar principles, influenced Pep, who was also someone Tuchel aspired to follow. So Rangnick and Bielsa (at least by proxy) are two inspirations for Tuchel, no wonder that Tuchel's Chelsea is operating in a similar way.

Did Hasenhüttl learn from Rangnick? I'll admit that he probably was more chosen because he used a similar style than being mentored by Rangnick. Nonetheless the point stands - Rangnick inherited Hasenhüttl's Leipzig and just evolved their style softly, so it is no wonder that the style Hasenhüttl plays is similar.

Klopp actually often talked to Rangnick at the beginning of his managing career and especially due to the schedule in that season he often could see a week later what he did wrong, as Hannover for some reason played a lot of teams just the matchday after Mainz did.

That said we are arguing a bit in a vacuum here as you rightly said, because we can only assume which stats The Athletic used for their post.
 
Laying into Ralf after that, I guess it's what should be expected by now. Won't see many more one sided games than that all season, maybe only thing to criticise is leaving Ronaldo on. When we start to finish these chances the confidence will come and we might see some big scorelines.

Then you were and are wrong. Congratulations.
 
If anybody blames Ralf for this, you're insane. He coached such an easy win. The players are letting him down with their shocking finishing.
