I Can't Believe Erik Ten Hag Said This...But I'm Not Surprised

- Erik ten Hag is in results mode. Nothing else matters, but it will do to Jim Ratcliffe, INEOS and Omar Berrada and I really do think he needs to tweak his system because it feels like he's on a bit of a collision course. Let me explain.

Do you think there is anything that can be done in the short term to help United, to improve us, to try and see out this season and get into the Champions League spots? Is there anything Ten Hag can do?
Treat Every game as a final and drop those who don't perform
Do have the balls to drop rashford, bruno and not start mctom. And to also not be scared to make tactical changes mid game and to make subs that we need
I was talking during the game and i think we need to move to a 4-2-2-2 formation to try and take more control over the game whilst being more solid. I know MU has a history of wingers but we need to change to a formation that allows us to be more difficult to play against. Players like Rashord or Garnacho could play as 2nd strikers.
Well, Eth can take the first step by dropping Bruno, Rashford and McTominay.
Yes, stop playing Mctominay.. May as well be playing with 10 men.. Has anyone ever seen Mctominay sweat? Dudes hair is still bouncing in the 90th min.. Never seen a player put in so little effort.
If you want to create an elite environment you have to sell rashford. Message needs to be sent to the younger players
Ten Hag and Southgate are the only people on this planet who would put Rashford on a football pitch.
Mctomminay is the first one that has to go out. He cant play posession game football ne never knows whats happening in his back and is way to robust to make quick turns in the midfield.
so true, get rid of rashford, so unconsistent and not good enough morals and work ethic. He is making the dressing room toxic and getting the players with him to get rid of managers.
@@diazclemenza3591 but he tries as much as he can, Rashford has the attitude that he's not interested any more. When Rashford gives 100% then he's brilliant, but at the moment that's two or three times a season.
@@diazclemenza3591 yes but mactominay is not on huge wages and is happy to
Come off the bench. He is also professional and not a big ego. Rashford expects to start and is not even trying. Also his attitude is questionable at best and he’s holding back other players from starting and developing. It’s time to cash in and move on.
At this point ill say ETH is trying hard to get himself fired.
I'm sure the class of 92 could help ETH lose his job.
Clown 🤡
Patience wins this game
Maybe he sees he suit in Barca more than United. If he get fired im done with the club.
Me too. I’m sick to the back teeth of this club. Ralf had the measure of this club and they didn’t listen…. Open heart surgery??? The patient is dead!!!!!
Totally agree Sam. We are getting dominated in midfield by average teams week in week out. No one wants LVG ball but this is a joke. Playing mctom in centre mid is awful. If we keep Mctom next season, something is wrong - we will never dominate possession with the likes of him in the midfield and bruno crying / hitting long balls. No top team uses a fellani like midfielder even as their second option.
Scott will never be a good midfielder period
The worse thing is that the club and INEOS itself had no intentions of selling McTominay, same for Bruno and Rashford
I agree with everything except ten hag being a "smart man". He is knowledgeable but he certainly is not smart.
I'm with you Sam, I wanted it to work out so badly, but at this point ETH feels out of his depth.. what worries me more is not the results based mentality right now, but rather I dont see much improvement on the team performances on nearly 2 years, having brought in a several players that he wanted. You see other coaches who, irrelevant of the starting player, there is a way to play, patterns of play.. but its really hard to see that at United.. and that makes me really sad
I might saying the same thing like Erik said if i were the manager. Having a squad with this kind of players around, you can only hope that we can get an "ugly" win. Most of these players can't play in a way of what modern football are demand from its players.
This season has been tough for him. With all the injuries, off field matters. United miss that balance & way of playing due to missing of players like Luke Shaw, Martinez. I know excuses won't improve team, but ETH should be given time with structured recruitment above him, this team will improve
Bro stop with this man. Every week you make a video, “Ten Hag, should he stay?”
Next week, “Ten Hag, exit?”. The same conversation over and over again, it’s getting boring. Let the man stay, give him a fit squad next season and watch him shine
Facts
Another season: 3 x 0 = 0. The man has no learning capacity and is stubborn.
That's what it takes to be a manager. Stubbornness
True bro, am starting to think this dude doesnt know what he wants. He should just cut the hype and let ETH do the job otherwise, sometimes he looks confused.
@@toolzbaba_artistryHe is no stubborn. He is totaly stupid and coward not to start eriksen or mount as no 10
You want him to say the players are trash? 😂
He bought half of them !
@@stanionman8178half of what do you know what you’re saying check well bro
@@confidenceuzoma2723 He has signed 13 players since joining Utd, that's a whole team plus 2 subs !
What else could he say? ,putting 10 years of MU drama on the manager is ridiculous in itself.
Clearly the problem is not ETH. United have gone through a wide variety of managers and still the same problems emerge. What is it? The players? The coaches? The culture?
All three.
So did Tottenham, Liverpool until they got a quality coach,who knew what he wanted to do, players such as Bruno and Rashford should also leave,they just bring the team down,you can't play some way with them
@@thedudetomorrow0002 this is the first season that Bruno has been less effective, I wouldn't throw him away just like that.
And I have the feeling that rashford could be resurected, he just need some kind of help.
@@gropatapouf5998 Bruno isn't a United quality player, there's a reason why he didn't get a move to a top club till 26,the clubs in his scouting report mentioned that he's not top level because he can't keep the ball, it's something he's never had, Rashford is 26, should be at his prime,it's only last season that he was that much effective,and mostly when the team was playing counter attacking football
@@thedudetomorrow0002 Mourinho already wrote off Thrashford back then. Years later he’s still there.
This is the mentality between us and top clubs you see pep drilling Grealish on the camera's after the draw with arsenal & shoving Haaland out of the way people will say its for the benefit of the camera's but shows his passion and wanting to be ruthless. With Hag he just talks trash and doesn't back his actions up.
Peo is the face of the city project and so he can easily Express himself to players whenever and however he wishes, while at United players have more power than the manager and and that's the reason ETH cannot act like Pep. Stop comparing one well run and polished club with a club run by clowns as their circus. Hopefully the manority ownership of the INEOS can bring that change we want
Pep is a raging narcissist, it's all for the camera
@@jhmn9000ten hag expressed himself to Ronaldo and Sancho. Cut the bullshit excuses he’s not good enough. Period.
Pep can do that he has that kind of power at City. Also if you have seen Ole's recent interview he literally said our players are mental pussies. None of them can take criticism, are afraid of the pressure. they also think they are better than they are.
Look at Rashford, he shows the worst body language and people call out for it, he goes on a PR interview to tell everybody how committed he is.
We need to get rid of a lot of players. We'll never win anything significant as long as our management think player like Rashford is face of our club.
Cause the club will sell the players who go against him. Oth in United they will loan out than will force ETH to make use him after the loan ended.
So now, it’s ETH OUT?😂 IN, OUT, IN, OUT, shake it all about??☠️
At this point, where are Utd gonna realise that you’ve been had? 🤦🏾♂️
LOOOOL
I’ve been ETH out since right around the loss to Galatasary in the champions league at home. And his interview where he stated that he wasn’t trying to play the way he did at Ajax. After that interview he deserved to be fired the very next day. Why did we hire him then, why did we get Onana, Martinez and Antony for 150mm in combined fee. He should be fired and he deserves to be.
Sorry but Maguire lindelof wan bissaka mactominay rashford were not good enough under ole
Nothing has changed or will change until the players change
We've got some poor players definitely but also a poor manager.
And yet Rashford almost singlehandedly got this fraud third place last season; and McTominay has saved him multiple times this season.
Stop the 🧢; your coach is not premier league level.
@@user-zc2sz1os3ji agree the coach migth not be good enough, hjowever i disagree that mctominay have saved anything. yes he have made some important goals but also he have missed double the amount of sitters. also with mctominay we are like playing with 10. he aint creating, he aint in midfield. he goes missing in every damn game. just look how many touches he gets to ball compared to other midfielders. its amazing how its even possible to be so bad in positioning. that being said, ten hag picks the team. and his team picking is rather bad.
@@user-zc2sz1os3j they are too inconsistent and disappear in most games
That’s the problem
They show flashes of being good players but it’s just flashes and leagues will never be won with these players
Consistency wins leagues
Im very concerned about him not beeing concerned.
Starting to loose faith in him
Do you really expect him to react as a fan? As a manager for media driven players, you have to be careful what you say. Last time out he made a fair comment there was a very unnecessary blow out.
You clearly haven’t got a scooby doo
😂😂😂
We have seen a whole season of this garbage football and you are only STARTING to lose faith?
This is not the first time this has happened in the last 10 years, Its definitely the players, DEFINITELY.
Let's not pretend, it's him too.
400m spent & 15 of his own brought in via his own agent, is that a April the 1st Joke?😂😂
Fair play mate funny tweet😄
@@stevenneary340715 players of his own??? Huh
@@stevenneary3407Mention the 15 players please
This is not the first time we've been consistently conceding over 20 shots per game every game? Please name the other times.
Edit: the only reason this fraud is still in a job is the players. We've had 17 different goalscorers this season: if that's not the whole team playing for him I don't know what is.
I doubt Pep could do much more with the squad and injuries…
Someone talking sense
Pep has never coached a struggling club like Man Utd is rn
I bet we would have some poor results but would generally play better. Pep at least knows how to adapt and even creates new systems depending on the players he has.ten hag copy pasted his Ajax system, saw all the issues and chose to ignore them. Ye he's had adversities but that's just an excuse.
@@N1TRO Pep has never ever in his career managed a club that is struggling, so please do not mention Pep he doesn’t have that experience and never experienced that struggle
Erik Ten hag said every match is a final. Really, Erik? coach like you mean it
Ten hag isnt the guy, its also majorly time to move on from rashford, shaw, bruno and maguire theyve been here too long. Time for a proper rebuild now!
O take on Bruno but the others are quite fair, although I'd keep Shaw.
Why not Ericsson for Bruno Fernandez because fernandez was lost in the game at some point in the game. Ericsen could've make difference wit does clever passes
Extremes were no more evident than last season when we won the league cup.... then 1 week later lost 0-7 to Liverpool. This is nothing new.
We need to go through this phase so that the board and staff know which area on the pitch to improve during the summer transfer. Let's not be blind with quick success.
It's unfortunate that we are following the English media to put pressure on our manager. I remember you saying that it would take at least 5 years for any manager coming in to make any significant change to the club. It's only his second year and we're joining united critiques and English media united haters to cause more damage to the club. We sack him now, we're back to square 1. And the cycle keeps going on with the media and united managers. I expect that you as a pro united influencer should fight for your manager for more time until we're sure he is the problem. By then, it's clear to see. But kicking him while he's down isn't good at all.
Why couldn't you believe what he? Said ??. Erik knows that Mctominay, Rashford, Varane, Lindelof, and bissaka will not be starting in any serious team… maybe bisakka can be a squad player.. B4 we blame Erik..none of those players can? Start at an average spurs and villa.. How can? Utd compete for anything serious with them… We are 10000000% behind erik
That is why he should be deploying such awful football
Okay. Seems we've not really learned anything since 2012
Manchester United is not a club that gives a manager time which is stupid from what we’ve experienced in the last 10 years, that’s why he’s chasing results rather than sticking to his philosophy, because if he doesn’t get results people will still be moaning, I beg the club, INEOS and Omar Berrada to not be type of owners who listen to the fans toomuch, they need to do what they know, give him time and help the manager.
Brentford was different because we gave up a lot of big chances but in a lot of games we're giving up lots of low percentage shots. Nobody wants ro hear it but fine margins.
Results are not great but that the fact people fail to see that we have to support the manager through the bad times keeps united stagnant.
We have not had a manager better suited than Ten jag to change the fortunes of the club since Ferguson. At united you can’t simply implement the football you want and neglect results,especially with new owners whose reputation is tied to the clubs results.
I want Ten Hag to succeed, but he’s making it extremely difficult for himself. That huge gap in the midfield has been there all season, that cut back goal we’ve conceded over and over and over again, the record number of shots conceded to relegation fodder clubs. Yes, we’ve had injuries, that can be an excuse for a lack of quality on the ball, but it can’t be an excuse for a complete lack of shape and tactical discipline. Right now, I don’t see him in the dugout next season.
Exactly. Refusal to change despite obvious reasoning.
Ineos need to get rid of players, not just the manager if that's their plan
What worries me most is we’ve not dominated a single game this season. Even in our wins we’ve road our luck. I don’t understand why we haven’t changed the midfield set up all season long
There's one game I remembered we dominated and it was the cup game against palace where we easily won the game. Then we met them in the league and I recon we lost haha. Jojo!
United’s central issue has been their transfer policy. We have issues all over the pitch that need rectifying. Full backs, central defence, central midfield, the wings and support up front. Yes we have the odd great player like Martinez, Mainoo & Fernandes, and the promise of Hojlund. But we have serious issues everywhere. It’ll take 2-3 years of great transfer windows to sort out.
He will be sacked because it’s obvious in his demeanour that he has been handsomely rewarded and won’t need to worry after he is sacked… how can people not see this ! The money has destroyed united and no matter what manager next trashford yappy bruno and scooby doo will still be there to sack the next manager again… it’s obvious player power over manager
ETH is already very rich like very rich he comes from money already it's never about money for him at this point he's not bothered because there's nothing to be bothered about when you're sure things are coming together at the pace the bosses have allowed with the level support or lack of it.
We do not win in a convincing or dominating way, we win by individual moments or a scrappy/lucky manner. For Man Utd to be still playing like this, under nearly 2 years of ETH is unacceptable.
HE CAN DO WHAT HE IS DOING RIGHT NOW AND GO FOR IT. The man clearly has big balls to play 1 v 1 at the back. The managers a gambler and I’d rather him take risks to win when a game is there to be won. Instead of being more defensive. Remember we see man untied we make things happen and don’t wait for it to happen
He's more a bluffer than a gambler. He's a useless chancer whose only claim to fame was one semi-decent UCL run with an Ajax team he had very little to do with creating. That's why he was so desperate to sign FdJ when he first came to United because he knew he couldn't coach a team to play possession football without him. He knows he can't coach possession football. He needs players like FdJ who just do it naturally without the need of coaching. You could see how crestfallen he was when he couldn't get him. This guy is no coach.

Go away. You haven’t got a scooby
......ETH, throughout the season hasn't lost a game when he's had his full squad for and available. Check and see. And that's why man city is so good cos they have two good players for each position. United need to support him especially financially until he gets it right. Even pep had failed signings, so give ETH the support he needs.
Irrelevant sice that statistic pool is like the 1 game
Be careful what you wish for, you realise if you push ETH out we’ll get potter or Southgate? Our senior players have been propped up by 2/3 young lads, they all need replacing first.
You actually believe Southgate has a hope of getting the job...dont believe everything you read
@@Vipox92 There’s no smoke without fire, are we being linked to anyone else? No.
@josephconway711 do you really think Omar berrada and Wilcox, people from Man City, will want to hire managers like that?
@@The_appraisalist what’s not to believe? We’ve been linked with both, Jim ratcliff clearly likes them. He probably wants a yes man.
It’s really time for him to go. Out of all our managers I’m most disappointed with ETH, as I expected so much more and bought into the hype. Such a shame but not all managers are cut out for the EPL.
This is van gaal 2.0. They both had good first season. Second season came, a lot of injuries, 6th place and fa cup final. Let’s see if he gets fired if he wins the fa cup
Typical Internet BS. Name me 1 manager available that would take the job and do any better considering what managers we had in the past with the current team. Took Arteta 3 years to start getting anywhere. Pep inherited an already good squad. United havent had that in a long time.
So much pressure for any person being manager of man utd, ❤
We couldn't even defend a 1-0 lead for 1min. Not sure what the manager is smoking. His useless tactics are making the players play like headless chicken on panick attack
Spot on. Love the shirt too Sam
What's he supposed to do? We can't sign anyone until the summer. His big players are underperforming badly, and the back 4 changes in every game. He has to find a way to win
He looks knackered; the pressures got to him.
Chaos is a good way to describe the season united are having. It will be a miracle for united to get UCL with the current form. Ideally I'd like to see ETH stay on but that's for ineos and Jim ratcliffe to decide. Great video Sam
Fans are ganna decide it for them it seems, the way they keep crying every minute when before ten Hag came in we admittedly said it was a 3 year MINIMUM process. Honestly
Hi Sam, Watching Utd is painful, uncomfortable and very frustrating and not what Utd fans should have to endure.
Extremes, very well said Sam. There are things that really narc me from that quote. United can't defend their box well, otherwise they'd have won that game 1-0. They DO concede too many goals, which is why the team has such a terrible GD compared to teams around them. I think EtH wants out and making these types of comments is his route to a golden carriage clock. Let's hope the season finishes well, but chaos there certainly will be!
Great content as always mate and hope you're on the mend!
Until a manager is brave enough to pick a fight with rashford and win nothing will change. That guy needs to go along with Maguire and shaw. The mafia of that football club.
I think united should just do a thorough clear out and give ETH an opportunity. How do you expect miracles playing with Scot
Who is the captain on the pitch ? its not Bruno - genius that he is, as a footballer, but NOT as the general on the pitch - bring back Keane ? -
The problem is the crazy mix of the strategist directing from the sidelines, and the so called leader on the pitch....who is not that...
ETH interviews were refreshing last season but this season its irritating!!
Drop Rashford and Bruno. Our most controlled performance came when neither played in League Cup. I’d let both go in the summer also. Not doubting either levels but we need a different profile, much better ball retention and cohesive thinking. Bruno is Chaos
There’s the question we should ask where is there proactive football he promised…. He doesn’t seem to know it himself coz players lack the intensity and know how to take bull by the horn. The ETH Accepts that’s why sir Scott keeps playing hoping he would come up with a winner. Rashy can walk with no clue of when he can run or stay back he constantly slows the game down. Rashy walks all the time and zero desire to help team when marking yet nothing is being done to make him see he’s letting guys all is done is rewarding him with game time even though he does nothing on the press that ETH made us believe RONALDO was not good at. Pressing from the front my foot.
I reckon it's up to Sir Jim whether Erik stays. As long as he believes in Erik's plan.
I honestly feel it's impossible to actively press high up the front, and then sit deep at the same time. So yeah he should drop the front press focus more on collectively winning the ball in middle of the park. This reduces the strain it puts on our slower players like Scott and Amrabat if he comes in.
The contracts of these players have to be looked at. The contracts should not be that lucrative but there should b be high performance bonuses every two or three months, based of every players performance.
Last week, he was the man for the job. This week, his losing it. These CZcamsrs will do anything for views 😂😂
Not really. We're never going to win anything meaningful playing like we did against the scousers.
Hahah Sam flip flops his views every other week
I actually stopped watching regularly cause it's just so reactionary. This week high, next week low.
It's exhausting! Lads just came up from international break, and the momentum from the Liverpool win has dissipated....it's a draw, Get over yourself already
@@bartyclocke296 same
Correct as bad as the Glazer's milking it for CZcams earnings
Back the manager lads! We'll get there soon enough!
ETH as you said is an experienced manager and I believe he thinks he is getting the best out of what is available to him. We can all be arm chair managers but I believe he is either aware his time is up at the end of the season or that he knows that he will be backed in the summer and be able to improve things with a better squad next season.
Thanks
I could have told you this at the time i started watching your vids, average coach great expectations
He looks tired, man. I think he could well be another casualty of this squad. Why does every Brighton manager get lauded as the next great manager? Because their squad is easy to manage!
We are done. Season is over
I have been ETH in but after this game when we let Brentford (Not Prime Man City,Pools or Real Madrid) have 85 touches in our box (The max in 3 years by any prem teams) and he still doesnt call out Rashford, Bruno and all the other senior players? Fuxking have a backbone and call these jokers out..I am done with him
When Ineos want a change they need to clear out half the team otherwise it will be the same next season!
Someone talking sense
Something is wrong:
* Conceding over 30 shots against Brentford.
* Tominay losing possession 14 times.
* Tominay making only 23 complete passes out of 33.
* Winning around just 3 out of 8 duels in the air.
* Only one successful tackle out of 4.
This is unacceptable. Tominay keeps running upfield like a headless Chicken thereby leaving huge gaps in midfield! Tominay should never ever be a midfielder playing for United's first eleven. No wonder United fans call him a ghost because he goes missing on and off the ball.
Fred was much better even though he too had his limitations. At least Fred has energy and covers ground well.
Ye but that's clearly based on ten hags instruction as anyone playing that poss does the same. Quality wise ye he isn't first team quality we all know that.
ETH should start playing the U18s
Been saying this for literally years! Our midfield is a big problem. Our starting midfield should be Mainoo, Casemiro, & Mount. Bruno is trash. We should have Garnacho on the left and Antony on the right. With them switching mid game to confuse opponents. Rashford should be dropped. He’s trash.
When a person speaks from the soul, one know's that his words have truth. When a person speaks by narratives, then on many times there is little logic in their words. Ten Hag decided to stay with narratives and the fans are not stupid, they will decide was he lying or not.
tell bruno to stay in his position would be a start, everyone praises him cuz he chases every ball down... but then ur out of position and leaving your teammates with extra work to do. he's not to blame for everything but little things like that don't help. especially when you have a Maguire in defence!!
Same old Sam. Makes a video on why we should back EtH. Then makes a video on tempting United fans screaming EtH out. That’s the first period I’ve seen him showing hypocrisy. Not a surprise it’s all coming when a new owner came in.
If Glazers were fully in charge he wouldn’t have made all this video.
He's making a lucrative living from CZcams hence video after video
I think we just need to say what is on how the team plays. Injuries yes but that doesn’t make the blueprint of what is meant to be our style of play disappear. There are players who lack the hunger for United. And to be fair the manager chooses the same players game in game out… he really needs to see we are failing somewhere
You just inconsistent people. Last week you said will support ten hag no matter what, and now you doubt him again.
Erik Ten Hag got this wrong drawing against Brentford with that type of abysmal performance.
The problem is that we don't really have identity and Ten Hag's in game management is poor aside those injuries.
In addition to that, all your star players can't be fit all through the year with the loads of games. He really needs how to work effectively with what he has at hand.
I could remember a season like that when the legendary Sir Alex faced with injury crisis and the departure of Captain Roy Keane started using Ryan Giggs and John Oshea as the central midfield pairing - United went on to pull some wins together.
i watched the press conference
why can’t ETH say that?
the team is not capable
for him a win is a win
he is a fan
Completely agree Sam, think you should be our next coach.
Sam and AJA are the best 2 YT MU Fan Channels I've encountered. You 2 should do some collaboration IMHO. Sam for president! :)
He's clueless, changes his mind depending on the results he's in it for CZcams earnings
What he could do and should have already done, is to adapt and change. Hes made it clear hes not going to, so either you have faith in his tactics or you see out the season then bin him off. At this point despite wanting so bad for it to work out, i have zero faith in his current system and i dont see anything changing. He needs to go before next season.
The fact we never rotate despite things not improving let me question the manager. Players need to be taken out of the team to get a reality check😢
Players will give their all when they respect their leader. It's the respect that Klopp/Guardiola etc get from their players without trying. This respect is earned through your tactical knowledge & character. Not just "we didn't have spirit or didn't hustle enough" That's League 1 mentality which is Ten Hags coaching experience in the Dutch League. Hes a one trick pony and the players know he won't be there next year and don't want him to be. They don't want to perform and he stays. It's evident. Look at results and actions. The players have spoken. Time for him to go. Nice guy but he's out of his depth and world class players won't waste their careers playing for someone who doesn't inspire them that they respect.
This place especially is deluded about him. We set up like a relegation side. He won't be here next season.
I wanted him sacked after the 7-0 at Anfield, unforgivable!
Agree, dont understand the mental gymnastics people go through to justify him staying.
@@Vipox92 people just want to be seen as morally superior than others by blindly backing him
@@alexmeechan9701 Writing was on the wall as soon as he abandoned his principles after his first 2 premier league games
Dear Sam. I have 2 questions :
1. Since Fergie, we got Moyes, Van Gaal, Mourinho, Ole. ( I didn't count rangnick. Not fair for him😁). What MU management learn from it?
2. Since we don't want to repeat same mistakes again, who is the best choice if ETH must go?
I don't want to play blame game only without giving any better solutions. I love this club for far too long, since before King Eric play😁
Its about the quality of shots though. So long as they arent translating to goals its no problem and they aren't. United push the opposition to shoot from low probability chances as a tactic.
Hey, nice jacket :)
lots of utd fans moaning about the players (and rightly so)but ask the question what idiot keeps picking them game after game there lies the problem
Half our players aren’t fully there coming back from injury then the other options we have just ain’t good enough
@@teesosa57 Willy Kambwala, Mason Mount and Amrabat should've started the match. Oyedele and Shoretire should be getting games as well, they're young, fresh and can press for 90 mins the way ten Hag likes. He's shooting himself in the foot

@@sundayjenyo5731 absolutely. We sorely needed both players this season.
These damning stats don’t lie because they’re consistent week on week and he hasn’t changed anything! Thats not coaching.
I actually thought he looked ill against Brentford!
I lost faith in ten hag when he said we are never going to play like how Ajax play even though the reason we brought him in is based on how Ajax play
Leave this manager and let him work, stop monitoring all his speech and ler him be.
Probably playing a mid block might be a good fix for the short term, but he just needs to really know how he needs to play with THESE players, their skillsets (or lack thereof) and availability, and maybe wait for the transfer window to get and remove what he wants. But he is dead centered on playing with the front press, and the counterpressing, and the positional play with playing out the back etc etc etc... he needs to play the cards he is dealt and get the most of our situation.
My observations/problems with the squad:
Victor Lindelof: Not physical enough as a center-back in a league known for its physicality.
Harry Maguire: Physically imposing but very slow. Lacks agility and cannot recover once forwards get past him.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka: Solid defensively and very good in one-on-one situations but offers nothing going forward; cannot put a decent cross even if his life depended on it.
Scott McTominay: Has an eye for goals but lacks ability on the ball. Is easily dispossessed, cannot carry the ball, extremely bad at passing.
Bruno Fernandes: Chance creator but has an extremely selfish and predictable style of play. Loses possession very cheaply. Moans constantly on the pitch.
Marcus Rashford: Only has blistering pace. Does not track back, cannot hold the ball, loses possession often and never contests arial duels - again very selfish and predictable style of play.
I don't want to diss Raphael Varane and Casemiro but it is evident that they are way past their prime and have no hunger after winning everything in Madrid and are here for the fat paychecks only. And who would blame them?
Watching ETHs style of football at Ajax, it is evident that the players mentioned above, talented as they may be, do not suit his philosophy. Unfortunately, ETH is forced to use them as key players either due to injury or due to abysmal recruitment. A good way to see if any of the above-mentioned players belong at United under ETH is to ask yourself if any of them would feature in a Pep or a Klopp team. Heck even Arteta, De-Zerbi, Postecoglou or Pochettino would not field these players in their squad. The current United squad still reeks of Ole's vision. Ole wanted to build a low-blocking counter attacking team centered around Bruno and Rashford. That is exactly what United has been for the past two years under ETH.
On top of that I blame the fans as well. We are so blinded by jealousy of City and Liverpool that we do not see the problem. Being the "Glory Hunters" that we are, so addicted to success, that winning a FA Cup or a Carabao Cup or playing Champions League seems like an achievement - like a dopamine hit to a drug addict. Success takes time. Unless ETH has players suited to his philosophy, willing to do the hard work for his tactic's day in and day out, for every game of the season (not just the occasional clash against Liverpool), it is not going to work. No matter who the manager is, it is not going to work.
Add Antony to the list of underperforming players, Onana jury out, build a squad around the youngsters, Mainoo Garnacho Hojland and add a fit Martinez, the rest are simplyb not good enough if we want to win cups and the league
I remember ole saying the same thing as long as we get results 🤔
I think ETH is just trying to close out the season. We all know what kind of season we've had and there's little to gain from trying to enforce a playing style at this point which we have been unable to manage from the start.
Are our performances coming from individual player efforts than a functioning playing style? Yes. Is that what ETH would ideally want and was building up to? Absolutely not.
But it is what it is right now with what he's given. And I think he's in a position where is very little room to let the few performing players get demotivated by saying something potentially risky to the press. ETH has had enough trouble with them already.
He cant criticize the players, so he is taking the hit......he wants them to take the second ball but these players cannot
It has to do with energy. When they bring the energy they can beat Liverpool, when they don't they can't beat Brentford. They don't play a possession based style like the elite teams, which saves energy. Instead they play an end to end game, which is far more energy consuming. if there was only one game a week, they could pull it off. But that's not modern football.
true and it starts with the midfield Mctomminay is not able to hold the ball.
Give Ten the players he wants & demand an Ajax attacking style!!
We have been defending mctominay as "goal-scoring midfielder" thats useless because ten hag puts him as no.8 but he lacks positioning awareness. Do you think he will make a proper no.9 if ten hag play him in that position? NO, mctominay should be sold. We need tik tak no.8
Ten Haag looks all in he look fxxed
ETH has been like this whilst at Ajax but this cannot be put at his feet all the time, but this time he needs to be looking at a way to grind out wins until the end of the season. ETH could ask for some advice from Sir Alex Ferguson on how he dealt with the pressure and how he ground out wins. But then again he is stubborn to a fault at times but should Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his team fire ETH they should at least look at Will Still, Julien Naglesmann or Rubin Amorin as candidates to take over.
Ever think he knows the team and realizes this is best he can get from the squad.
He needs to be sacked.
Ten Hag's tactics have been United's worst enemy all season. It is only because of moments of individual quality - and luck - that we are not in the bottom half
