Surely he knows Maguire always goes walkabout. He’s done it in every single game he’s played. He still picks him every week. Drop players until they will do as instructed. Don’t play a player that can’t defend up against Salah and Alexander-Arnold.
I’m literally not. No team in the Premier League would’ve been as easy to beat as United were tonight. It’s not expecting miracles to expect us to be able to beat Burnley, Villa, Everton, Leicester, Watford, Middlesbrough, Wolves or Southampton. Win two or three of those games and our season looks a lot better.
He's literally been hired as an INTERIM MANAGER. I expect him to do at the very least: Improve training, improve fitness, improve tactics and therefore player performance, motivation, and, RESULTS. If he manages to change the culture somewhat, that's great, at least a little. Again, Tuchel had chelsea playing his way in weeks. Rangnick can't even get them pressing for one game.
Ralf said in the post presser that the players were too afraid to get close to Liverpool for fear of being outplayed in the first half. That we did not do what we had trained on.
You're either naïve or deluded.
Projection. You're the one who thinks he has no blame, that he has done nothing wrong, and that he can't do basic managerial tasks as a football manager because he's an interim. If that is not delusion to defend an obvious fraud, then I don't know what is.
Why should they listen to a clueless manager anyway?
Or was Maguire just being stupid, as opposed to ignoring instructions? Rangnick always blames the players regardless of whether or not it was their fault or his because he knows people like you are there to make excuses. I'd love to know where all this stuff about bypassing LVG came from, and Mourinho also.
Should they have listened to Ole's braindead tactics at the start of this season? No. Rangnick has failed to earn their respect and to assert his own authority, its on him that they won't listen.
Obvious fraud? Wow ok you clearly haven't got any idea of real football, or actually genuinely watch us.
I actually do, and what I see is a manager failing to instill anything in this squad to get top 4.
Okay I'll reply to you properly. Counter these points please.
Why does Rangnick need to earn their respect? All of them are complete frauds, and need booting out. They should be fighting for their careers here, not trying to survive by throwing another manager under the bus.
Ralf is a pressing coach. He tried to implement his game plan and the players were exhausted after 45 mins vs Crystal Palace on his 1st match, and we were holding on for dear life by the end. He then tried a 4222 but again the players couldn't handle the workload for it.

Because it's impossible to do fitness conditioning mid season he's had to default back to Ole's system to get through to the end of the season.
His coaching team is a Frankenstein setup through no fault of his. No top coaches would leave their secure jobs to join us on such a short term contract until end of season. He was complaining about this in his first press conference. Because of this he actually wanted Carrick & McKenna both to stay.
If you think its possible to turn a rank last pressing team into an elite pressing side in a few months I don't know what to say. When Ralf arrived, we were absolute bottom in the league for every defensive metric going.
Seriously?? Are you defending them players?
I know yeah what a calamity this season has been.
The one thing we know he was hired to do is to get results on the pitch, the rest is just speculation. He certainly hasn't been hired as a DOF despite more of his recent expertise being in that area and he has already stated he wasn't involved in the managerial recruitment process. In terms transfers his consultancy role is more likely to involve making suggestions than having any real authority.
The players froze and were too scared to follow the gameplan we worked on so reverted to what they thought was 'safe' instead.
Strange given sitting back is the safer option.
No it was also the left side. I'm not sure what on earth Dalot and company were doing. Amateurish stuff to press with such exuberance and incompetence and leaving yourself unable to do any tracking back. For Salah/whoever to get so many space to charge into was surreal.
Cheers. I only saw the highlights. In that case I can't understand why Maguire wasn't prepared for a turnover. Although Dalot should still not losing possession at the half way line.
They usually got to sign 8 plus players though.
