We’re all pissed cuz City beat us but we all knew they would. Look at our defense and tell me you thought the likes of Maguire, Evans, Lindelof, and Dalot we’re going to keep City quiet.
A lot of comments on ETH spending 400mil on his team to play like this but it’s literally a youngster in hojlund, amrabat, onana, and evans. We’re still missing 300mil of players that he signed
Even if we sack him then what? We hire another guy, honeymoon period until next season then rinse and repeat. There’s no structure behind the manager, it’s like being an accountant and not being able to use excel or accounting software.
Some of these players will be on their FIFTH manager if we sack him. A couple will be on their fourth and a whole lot will be on their third. That’s unheard of anywhere else in football. For me, sacking him is not the solution
What’s he on about, united are playing exactly like a team that’s bottom of their respective league /s
Is it possible he goes? Thought he seemed rattled after the match.
Ahh so he is finally at the "acceptance" stage
And he says it's specifically cause of the players we have.
You can't play Ajax football with Fernandes, Casemiro, Rashford, McTominay, Wan Bissaka, Maguire. Could go on. Cause we've Frankensteined a squad of mainly 2 different counter attacking managers, Mourinho and Ole.
What is causing the issue is that he's brought in some 'Ajax' players to play alongside the others, so we're playing some fucked up in-between which isn't giving the best of either, and actually showing the worst in both.
He has to take blame, but the board above him do too, why is there nobody above him saying we now have a squad filled with players who want to be on the ball and also several players who treat the ball like a grenade?

But looking at the United squad right now, who are actually players you'd expect to see at an Ajax side? Martinez and Eriksen. Not so much anyone else. Even Antony isn't the kind of player to really set the playstyle at a club like Ajax, even if he did well there.
Ten Hag should be blamed for his mistakes, but I wouldn't say this is a squad in between the old counter attacking style and the "Ajax" style. This is an unfinished squad, with simply a lot of poor players and unfit players. I would blame Ten Hag for having a front three of Rashford, Hojlund and Antony. Because it is a very expensive lineup, that doesn't really make sense together and isn't all that great individually either. But he's also trying to make it work with what was already in the squad and a lot of the players just aren't up for it.
I would have said fair enough but watching what Ange has done at Spurs in 10 games when our team was built for counterattacking under Mourinho and Conteball. Sure we brought in a few players but he’s had a single window and we look much more coherent than what’s going on with y’all.
You guys have some amazing players shackled by Conte and Mourinho. We've been let down by some of these players for several managers across multiple years, and some of them are still getting the chance.
We can get a lot better than we currently are. Struggle to get worse, especially given the injuries. Everyone seems low on confidence.
This guy has already given up
Will we ever play in a certain way Eric? Because right now it just looks like yoloball
Could do with the fact we had a huge injury crisis right at the start of the season.
A backline consisting of our 3rd choice CB, 5th choice CB, 6th choice CB, and 2nd choice RB.
the united job is proven to drive a man insane
Ten hag will play the football that the current ajax is playing
Well it looked half way there yesterday
Don't forget to blame Ronaldo for being too old and slow to not play Ajax football, and Mourinho for being too defensive unlike Ajax.
Picture of Ajax and picture of ManU.

They are the same.
😊
Am I crazy in thinking that as long as Man United's best players are Bruno & Rashford who I feel like are very good direct players then it makes sense to play direct?
It's obviously the Glazers fault.
Well, maybe you should.
should have said that at the interview
But you even signed a bunch of Ajax players to do just that...
