Haven’t heard any “ten Hag out” voices yet, thankfully, but when do people start blaming him?

Yeah, injuries are bad, but that happens to all clubs. Are they trying too hard and forgetting the fundamentals, especially at defending? Lack of effort?

Why not put in the young guys? They’ll definitely give the required effort to impress.

I don’t know, I’m just pissed at my team.

    The team being mentally fragile is the manager’s problem though. It’s his job to create that confidence in the squad. If they believed in the system they wouldn’t capitulate as easy.

    Look I really want Ten Hag to work, but we seem to be the only fans in the world that deflect blame away from the manager until the situation is untenable.

      I’d agree if this was a new phenomenon, the team has been capitulating for years now, it can’t be always the managers fault can it?

        It’s not as simple as that. Multiple managers can fail in different ways, it could well be that we still haven’t found the right person to helm the club, it’s a ginormous job which requires a certain approach. There aren’t that many managers ever that have won the league with United.

        I’m not saying this is definitely the case, but I’m also not absolving Erik Ten Hag of all blame just based on the fact his predecessors also struggled. That’s not causal logic.

        It’s like saying Rishi Sunak isn’t shit because Cameron, May, Johnson and Truss also failed.

          the issue is we are trying to find the one person to helm the club, football has long moved past that model and United should too, but while glazers are doing the appointments it’s not gonna happen.

          that’s just the reality of the situation shit rolls downhill.

          like what do yoh expect will happen if ETH gets sacked? we get a new manager, will he have the same tactics as ten hag? I doubt it, what willl we do with the players that were bought specifically to fit into ETH’s system?

          even if we get a new manager bounce and make into CL next season then what? next season the team will crumble under pressure again and we can rinse and repeat.
