You are 100% right about the part in bold. However, i still blame ETH for this. A few months into the season after noticing how porous how midfield was and how it was causing us to face countless shots, he should have made adjustments and asked the defenders to play a higher line and tucked at least 1 FB infield.

Player a slightly higher line and compressing the pitch would have been better than playing the porous midfield we were playing, especially since we have a GK who is an adept sweeper. He should have stuck to his principles no matter the personnel because that is the only way the team would assimilate his principles.

Doing what he did this season (high press and low block defense at the same time) means next season when he tries to implement high press and high line the team would not be used to it and would have to take time trying to implement it. This means that this season was a wasted season in terms of him trying to implement his principles.

Lol no way in hell we'd have tried an high line with Maguire, Evans and co. Our matches would be pure comedy.

As for for second point, Martinez is already used to playing an high line. We were always going to get a CB that can also play it comfortable. So the transition would have been easy.

Our matches were pure comedy with the donut midfield anyway. I understand starting out with the low defensive line because Varane and Martinez were out but persisting with it despite our obvious struggles was folly IMO.

The proper thing to do was to try to play a higher line (does not have to be ultra-high like Spurs or Villa) and play the way the team is meant to play in the long term. Playing a high line defense or low line defense impacts how the whole team plays and not just the defenders, so you can't use Martinez experience playing it to justify not exposing the whole team to it.

Then we have to factor in the fact that even in the games Varane played we still played the donut midfield.

You are very stupid. Is that how you manage failure

You people are the people drawing man u back. From champions league to Europa league. We are now a second tier club and useless fans are calling for ten rag to stay

Any type of high line with Maguire or Evans is suicidal. It's something they'd have even tried out in training. You must remember Ten Hag is not a PE teacher brought in to coach the team. He must have seen the ones available can't play that high line in any way.

So it was either he did what he did or we switched to last season's tactics.

But funny thing is, early this season before he started the whole thing, everyone here was saying what they wanted to see was evidence of a style of play. I remember clearly most people here said they don't care about results that much.

We can clearly see what would have happened if he had stuck to his style of play first few weeks at the job. Early this season, everyone here was saying he should have stuck to it last season. Even though we got trashed by Brentford, Brighton and co.

No one here has that type of patience. We're never switching to any special style of play. If we do, it'll have to be a slow, gradual thing. Nothing like what Klopp, Arteta or any of those did. This fanbase no dey hear anything. Media no dey hear anything. Ten Hag don learn. Pretty sure his whole philosophy has started changing.

Who say trophy no sweet abeg..

Since Saturday I haven't been able to argue, disagree or even quarrel with anyone..

Hard decision Soon, hopefully best for all parties involved.

You can add please. And yes, Amad over Saka as far as football is concerned but if it's about bottling, Saka is clear.

Damn

It's being reported everywhere now... TenHaram is gone

Gone gone gone, and when I enter here again in August, they will still be saying gone gone gone. Foolish set of people. Ronaldo fans are the most useless of people you'll ever see. Brainless, pathetic, psychologically weak. I used to think that perhaps they are better than Messi fans, but wow, the Ronaldo fans have no brain at all.
