Complete nonsense, he has benched a lot of underperforming players. Shaw, maguire, pombal, rashford, and even ronaldo has been dropped by him. The quality of squad is just not good enough.

Benching players for the odd game isn't dropping them
 
Just for consistently starting Maguire, I hope Ralf never becomes the permanent manager.

I don't think dethroning the captain was an option. It's already hard enough for Ralph Rangnick to not lose the cabin considering all the players know he will be gone by the end of the season.
 
I think you should get rid of this guy at the end of the season and not have him move upstairs. Do you really want him to be involved in a rebuild over the next 2 years? I wouldn't.
 
Yeah, bench Ronaldo for a 18 yo nobody, that most definitely should do the trick.

These players have not played in any real system for over 2 years or however many Ole was in charge, how do you expect them to adapt to a demanding coach after basically playing to minimal standards for so long.

So called lesser managers with lesser players manage it
 
United need to bring someone in now and Start focusing on next season.

Drop those not staying, drop those not good enough and play some of the younger kids and build them up a little and create an identity now and buy your players to suit.
 
Giving Maguire and especially Rashford minutes, that's all the negatives. Bad subs today but all in all too hard of a task at hand it seems with the state team is in. Permanent appointment must be a good one this time.
 
At that stage the game is lost, lets not get into the Shaw offside trap debate shall we, its a long known terrible flaw in his game.

Dalot wasn't showing wide as much as he normally would, but line up 10 United fans before kick off on who is more offensive out of him and AWB, 9 would say he is.
That wouldn’t make them right. People are deluding themselves on Dalot.

When your captain is this terrible, it would be an easy decision 100%. Within the squad, the players know the truth, they know who is good enough and who isn't.
I highly doubt they'd be an uproar if Maguire is demoted to a bench player
 
we were shit against Spurs but we won, I was happy with a win, I wasn't going to depress myself focusing on the negatives what's so hard for you to understand about that?

We were shit against Spurs? :lol: Sure mate, let's end this here then
 
Lots of managers come into shit shows for worse than our current state and have an instant impact.

Our best 2 performances this season were Villareal away under Carrick and Arsenal at home also under Carrick.

He's made us marginally better defensively but we've regressed in our attacking play.
I don't want him as our manager next season, he isn't good enough, but blaming him for the shitshow we find ourselves in is just dumb. This squad is awful, over paid and awful, and until the structures within the club are fixed we will see more of this
 
He’ll need to preside over one hell of a back room restructure if this is to be deemed as success because after 20 games & a few competitions to go at it’s been a rather underwhelming appointment.
 
I’ve seen with my own eyes how mediocre ‘McFred’ is and was sure it was down to Ole picking them but they’re starting most games under Ralf I just don’t get it.

Let down by Maguire every week…still starts.

Dissapointed.
 
Christ, some of you lot need to give your heads a wobble.

He has come in to a squad that has too many prima Donna's, a squad that was too large with players wanting out, players leaking left right and centre, a team that still hasn't a midfield even though the previous manager spent over 300 million on the squad. Yet it's all ralfs fault.

This isn't his team. It's a squad that most of us want gutted, but some think it should be challenging????
Agree. I stayed away from redcafe for most of the match and enjoyed the game for the most part (bar the fact we were losing), then i come into this forum and see the bunch of complaints and whingers about nothing.

For me, Ralf is doing a good job, we actually look like a team that can play football and that first half was brilliant, we just needed the goal to top the performance. Unfortunately, they capitalized on one moment. Much much better than the drab we saw under Ole imo.

That being said, could've not subbed on Rashford tonight, his performances for me look like a man who still wishes he was playing for OGS, because no work rate was required.
 
Suddenly, our squad is awful. Poor Rangnick having to deal with such poor quality players.

I do think Maguire has a lobby within the team.

Who to start instead?
 
I don't judge him on his time so far, it's too soon, but the failings of his current tenure might end up undermining his authority as a future director of football, which was the initial intended role. Not a great situation.
 
I'm gonna judge him on what I see being coached, I think there is more structure and we look a little more solid defensivley. Thats the only posistives though.

Attacking wise, not very good at all no patterns of play, not alot of individual brilliance we run out of ideas very very quickly and start trying to force it all our attacking players bar maybe sancho are out of form and look low on confidence.

Atletico our well organised and well drilled and they know all the tricks. But we never once did anything particuly good in that second half, it goes wide gets worked around a bit until we generate some space for a cross get chucked in the box towards Ronaldo and gets headed back out. Thats it thats the plan we had more patterns under Ole, there was much better attacking football under Ole.

In first leg the players didn't turn up at all, second leg they did, the did what Ralf wanted them to do and we looked clueless in the second half.

Agree with this entirely
 
Talks a good game, but he is a weak manager. Picking Maguire, Mcfred, Rashford all the time etc regardless.

And today why the hell sub in Rashford vs a defensive team leading 1-0 ? Its not logical what so ever.
 
And RR was meant to be light years better than Ole
When a new boss comes in it takes time to right the wrongs of the previous regime. Ralf has been here a few months and hasn't had a penny to spend on a player. How do you expect him to get his vision across?

Let's not mention ole, he is one of many reasons why we find ourselves so far behind our rivals. Have a look at our main CB and ask whose fault was that.
 
He's a decent manager doing a decent job. Nothing more. There are definite signs of improvement but there's only so much he can do I feel given these players.

The only thing I'd hold against him are his subs. It's criminal to let Rashford anywhere near a football pitch at this stage
 
That wouldn’t make them right. People are deluding themselves on Dalot.
Its not just the majority of United fans, its been noted on commentary or by pundits on what Dalot offers.

When most people are saying it and the manager clearly thinks it, its likely got substance behind it.

Even if we argue they're indifferent and equally shite in different ways, its not a stick to beat the manager with. He didn't buy them.

For example you say AWB would have stationed himself better. I agree, but I would add he would also take 400 touches to bring the ball from under his feet and reduce his forward pass options in the process.
 
IF he is being forced to play certain players (which I don’t believe anyway) then he can as well leave now completely. Because what is the point of an advisory role if the board is already not listening to him.
 
Like who? The point of this appointment really is the consultancy afterwards
But why would we need him ? He was retired..
We could have got conte ( if we were smart ) , Valverde , even the Sevilla coach.. they would have better coaches than Ralf .. who was retired and having. a good time in Ukraine
 
Not even sure I want this guy going upstairs with his insistence on the likes of Maguire and routinely wasting subs on Rashford and Lingard.

Also called De Gea the best keeper in the world despite the fact no top club would have an archaic keeper like him.

Worrying times if this guy is going to be directing the future.

Why's RR playing him then? He's got Lindelof, he's got Bailly, it's RR selecting the XI not Ole

As for not having long to implement his ideas I say again lesser managers with lesser players manage to do it
 
He brought all our big players to the game, rashy, pogs, edi, played Ronaldo and everybody. I am just baffled how bad these players have become. Hope he is writing a list because this lot needs to be cut the lot of them.

Is that the excuse his apologists are using tonight? Dear god.

The forum has complained about every of the last managers. They've had Van gaal, Mourinho, Rangnick. These were all successful managers, with completely different philosophies. The problem is the lack of vision.

They hire Ralf Rangnick and it was the right decision. He had to fix a big mess mid-season with a squad that does not even fit his philosophy. What the club needs to do is stay the course.

Clueless post honestly.
