    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

      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.

        For me, you look at other clubs and they have a style of play and when someone comes in they slot into that role, no one in our team looks like they’ve got a clue what they should be doing

    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?

    I have to say I’m genuinely really f****** surprised to me that he is failing to at united like he really genuinely is the manager where I thought they would turn it around his Ajax was so f****** good. But I do genuinely think the failures also partially down to him I mean quotes like that just absolutely won’t help but I’m sure there’s also just a really toxic psychological structure in a lot of these Manchester United players. Curse words are blurred because I’m using speech to text

    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?

      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.

      So? Every manager somewhat gets the old guard and has to manage around it. Think Ange or Emery got clean slate and players they wanted from day one?

        This idea that every new manager has to buy deozens of new players to be successful is ridiculous and was created purely as an excuse for Chelsea and Man Utd

        As much as I dislike Ten Hag, you’re right. Look at Arteta too, it took him years to get rid of the old guard and to turn things around. That included getting rid of Raul too behind the scenes
