It could also be food poisoning from the catering… Too much blame being leveled on Ten Hag, he deserves to see his project to fruition
Most worrying thing (if your a United fan) is you can say that about every United team under the last 3 or 4 managers.
Different players. Different managers. Little changes
He’s being generous with that timeline
Ten Hag has got it under control. Give the man a lifetime contract (pretty please) !
First Moyes was the problem, then Giggs then Van Gaal, then Morurinho who won the UEL with United and took them to a second place behind CIty in the PL, then OGS and Cristiano, then Ragnick and now to end up with ETH… it seems like as soon as United is about to hit the form again or at least are qualifying for CL-football with Mourinho and OGS for example they decide to burn the house down and start all over again… “on my mothers grave he (he = the owners) is playing against us”?
How many more managers is rashford going to sack? We all know that part of ten hags interview he was told that getting rashford back to form was important to the job. Why doesn’t Bruno get dropped? Why does Bruno get a new 300k contract after our worst season? Why is Shaw allowed to go to the euros after missing the entire season, get injured, and we don’t buy a lb in the transfer window? Why is Shaw still here in the first place? He too has seen 4 managers sacked. Why is Johnny Evans, our 6th choice 37 year old backup, on 65k a week. Van de ven from Tottenham, who schooled us on both ends of the ball yesterday is on 55k a week. Antony who we spent 90 million on, and 10x his wages coming from the Dutch league from 20k to 200k can’t even make it on the field as a sub. We give an injury prone Chelsea academy player the number 7 shirt and 250k a week and he can’t even stay fit for 5 games at a time.
Don’t even get me started on ten hags “tactics”. He’s more than at fault for this shit. But my point is the club is run like a shitshow, and I’m at the point where I can’t see a return for this club.
Since AF left United have been an average of 23 points off winning the league, reality is that players are the most important part of a winning team and their recruitment has been shocking. For all of the talk about this new crowd changing things, you’d have to say that the players they’ve brought in aren’t gonna take them any closer. It’s obv early days and Ashworth is one of the best transfer operators in England so we will see.
“There’s no enthusiasm for the game of football. That can only come from training pitch.”…or a hair dryer, he failed to add.
They undermined ETH by shopping for other managers in the summer and appointing RVN, once a managers authority is gone they’re a good as finished, the players know he’ll be out the door soon and they can start the cycle all over again.
Can we agree with “except Garnacho.” 2 minutes left, down 0-3, still sprinting his ass off like we have a chance to win.
Thanks Scholsey. Useful as ever.
The players are just waiting for ETH to get sacked.
They hate him and he hates them.
United’s strengths, pace up front Spurs weakness, stupidly high line
EtH instead decides to try and play to spurs strength by playing through the space that spurs are pressing in, EtH got a pass for his tactics in the FA cup final to beat city, but yesterday was ineptitude tactically, and whatever the players were doing as well, dalot nowhere on the first goal, the run of the defender doesn’t matter, he was funneled out wide so could only cross, Dalot stops that goal by tracking and also doesn’t happen if rashford and garnacho are not running away from the ball in the first place, no clue
Seems like this guy would be a great manager he should try it himself maybe
