he can and does press

akwesenana:
🚨 There is little sympathy for Jadon Sancho inside the Manchester United dressing room:

"The players have had enough of him."

Most players accept and respect Erik Ten Hag's firm approach because it applies without exceptions to everyone in the squad, regardless of their status.

Sancho's reaction has gone down badly within the dressing room, although it was not greeted with surprise.

except the dancing 100m lol

Jokerman:
I was told Erik 7 Hag was ruthless 😂

I have seen enough to know this is not the case

ChristoBam:
Na me get this diss? 😄

Your conscience is judging you abi?

"Get the manager his targets" don dey deny manager's targets.

When you dey shout get him his first choice targets, you didn't know there can be implications. Same way you were annoyed the club didn't get Cucuruku even when Chelshit demands didn't make sense

Leyqute:
Rashford came late to a team minute. He was late by a few seconds and ETH benched him.

After the game, Rashford was the one who went to the media to say his offence and that he was cool with it.

Before any manager can come out like that, there must've been several warnings to the player. I'm certain the coaching crew must've mentioned the issue to Sancho consistently behind back door and the later has refused to heed their words.

Sancho was on the bench for the first 3 matches and got dropped for the 4th game. That should say something. That ETH honestly answered a question about his absence doesbt necessarily mean he's scapegoating him. If he wanted to scapegoat him he would've done so last season.

Had Sancho kept mute, this issue wouldn't have turned into the drama it is now. It speaks volumes about his character and discipline. Now wey he, as a poor performer, don open mouth speak against him coach, shey na the same coach e go expect to put him in starting lineup later on?

When players respond like this, they obviously do not see a future with the club anymore, as long as the coach remains the same

ChristoBam:
I should be directing that to you.
Cuz I don't understand how anyone can start ranting about substitutions after that match.
Meanwhile the subs available were Hannibal and co.
Put those young ones in for the final minutes at Emirates and you think that's sensible?

There's a reason that the only place anyone's talking about substitutes is on this damn thread. Most of the ones here are basically Anti-ETH rn. So y'all will hold on to anything to criticize the manager.

Sub off Eriksen and co, meanwhile the late goal we scored came from the same one we should have subbed off. Make this make sense.

Did we need fresh legs? Yeah. But definitely not Hannibal or any of those freshers.

What ETH should have done was not to add those players to the bench so we know they're not good enough. Even matches that are not as fast as this one, Eriksen struggles to keep up, unless we see more of the ball. But you want Eriksen to play without the ball even at 80 minutes when you have Gore on the bench that is comfortable playing without the ball? You don't think when Arsenal were coming at us all over the place at 80+ minutes, we needed fresher legs to disrupt their flow and even pick up cards if necessary, just to secure that point? You don't know ball

Then we have someone like Bruno that is talented but spends more of the time complaining

weedtaker:
Our team also lacks aggression, I mean look at black ronaldo for Arsenal's third goal, running from a 50/50 challenge like a scared 9yr old girl, that's disgusting.

He was getting out muscled by saka who's like 22yrs old or something. Wtf is wrong with our players?

Rashford doesn't press and is lazy, I know he makes it up for his offensive output but he has to do better. I mean anthony is on the team because of his defensive capabilities.

Football has evolved a lot, your attackers are your first defenders this days, I mean how many times did you see Anthony one vs one with zinchenko? Martinelli was always there to support him.

We need to improve our defensive game, really.

We are dangerous when we attack but that seldom happens cause we can't hold the ball even if our lives depend on it, Onana is more comfortable on the ball than all our players bar Martinez and Eriksen, I wonder how we can play possession game when that's the case.

I honestly expected our players to become aggressive with Ragnick as the coach but that didn't work. As it couldn't work during Rangnick time that, I just knew that most of these our "star players" can never become more aggressive and contribute more. The honest truth is that they will need to be replaced. Maybe lesser game time even when fit so they know they're dispensable. Right now they feel untouchable.

odizeey:
Very funny things. He just wants the coach to fail, but in disguise.

God forbid. This one will not fail

nitrogen:
Leave him to continue his opata yarning.

There are things to defend. That one was not one of it, but christo no go gree

Leyqute:
Must it be a free back up CB?

We were in for KMJ, Todibo and even Pavard. We got none of them. Those players would’ve made a better difference than Evans or Magwaya.

Maguire was supposed to go. I don tire ooo

MRTA7:
No idea, It just seems its only United that dont know how to squad build and find themselves in these situations.

We have 4 CB ahead of Maguire and Evans. We are just unfortunate to end the game with those two. We may not have this again this season

patrickmuf:
Preseason counts for nothing. Sancho should do well to take his chances.

See Nunez at Liverpool, that's how you show a coach that he is wrong for benching you and not taking to social media to rant.

Sancho's response was a reaction to something. Did Nunez need to react to something the coach said about him? With Sancho's response, you'll know that he is tired and wants a move out of the club. Maybe ETH knows this, but then allowed his emotions to control him.

Sancho is very wrong for responding. However when you look at those playing ahead of him, you may want to understand his outburst. This Martial I'm seeing will be worse than Sancho in any training

odizeey:
His man is Poch. He's just disguising.

Imagine asking if an extra energy in the team would make any difference

MRTA7:
Yes, But that still shows the poor squad building. We should not have Evans at the club. An opportunity should be given to either an academy player or another backup CB.

Which academy CB is ready to step up? I think Mengi has left.

Evans was free. Which other free back up CB is available?

patrickmuf:
Sancho like Martial should both be options only when we have an injury crisis.

As a false 9 or striker, Martial for all his lazy attitude is still better than Sancho.

I look at Martial during games and begin to ask myself what exactly went wrong with him...He seems disinterested like Sancho and doesn't do enough...

You're not talking about the preseason Sancho and the one that have had a couple of appearances this season

Leyqute:
We only had one real CB - Martinez, who just came back from injury.

Varane is getting old. He retired from national team duties. He himself said recuperating from games is taking him longer than usual. No surprises he's picking up injuries.

Lindelof cannot be relied on. We all know this.

That's all the okay CBs we have who are primarily CBs.

Retaining Magwaya and signing Evans should be a cause for concern. I prefer we have KMJ alone instead of those two.

We have Luke Shaw who is a good deputy for Martinez. We didn't get a new CB because Maguire didn't leave. If he had left, we would have ended yesterday's game with the new CB and Evans, assuming everything played out as it did. Or lindelof and Evans

MRTA7:
We were supposed to sign a CB this summer. Not Jonny Evans.

Johnny Evans didn't replace whoever we were supposed to sign. The coach only added Evans just because he was available and why not? The person that blocked the new CB was Maguire

Leyqute:
Two rejects. Playing in an important game.

Our first 4 choices were out. If it wasn't them, we would have Casemiro and AWB at CB

ChristoBam:
So Hannibal's going to do that? Lmao. Best way is to think of how to utilize the ball the few times we get it.

We can see that with Gernacho's goal that was ruled offside.

Sometimes I wonder if you actually want ETH to succeed here.

ChristoBam:
I know you think I'm just automatically defending ETH but that's not the case. We can't bring in those players in that situation.

We needed fresh legs in the midfield. Yeah. But that's not even the reason we lost.

You can't look at those goals and point to the midfield in anyway. The problem was the CBs. You can't play relegation level CBs away at Arsenal in the final 10 minutes and not concede.

It's easy to criticize the manager for subs after everything's played out.

I hope you know that one very effective way to defend is to keep the ball away from your area and it starts from upfront?

When we spoke about how the team exposed DDG to so much shot that he began to goals he wouldn't concede normally, they said it was because he can't pass. With Varane and Martinez partnership last season, DDG sealed his clean sheets. It was when that partnership ended that we began to concede goals everywhere. But the constant was the midfield and attack. Very poor number of goals scored and chance conversion.

patrickmuf:
I can never stand with Sancho. We have been watching him every other match week and he doesn't put in the effort.

Now, imagine if he is so uninterested during match days, How then will he be in training? Cut him off ASAP...Spoilt British overrated and overpriced player.

During preseason and the last couple of cameos he has had, he has not done bad as a false 9, holding up play and linking with his team. I would start him 100% if the alternative is a Martial

ChristineC:
maybe Pellistri can help on the right.
there will be adequate services from behind anyhoo.

Wait o! I thought Pellistri has left the club

TrebleChamp:
Some of them are wailing in private, they will resume in few days time to drop their silly takes...

As expected

ChristineC:
thoughts on Højlund cameo?

Showed some spirit and fight. I don't think he was clumsy on the ball. He will need the help of his midfielders and wingers. Hopefully they can provide the help he needs

Skimpledawg:
"Breast"?

Ehn breast

Skimpledawg:
Earlier it was "transition", now "penetration". Is it just me or these words mean more than they seem

It's just you o

AdisaOwala:
This is also what I feel....

A manager should be able to control his emotions. This ruckus wouldn't help matters and would only give the media something to feast on, especially when things aren't too rosy with the team

Naso pressure take dey mount untop manager

Exactly! I really want to see ETH spend many successful years here. We can't afford to change manager soon

nitrogen:
The only thing that can prevent significant issues in the dressing room is for ETH to find a way to get us to play good football after the international break. If we are doing well, unhappy players can fuvk off, asides that, it’s a disaster waiting to happen.

True. His team needs to start playing as a team

Jokerman:
Seems Ronaldo was right about Erik 7 Hag again 😂😂😂😂

When you see someone carry almost 70M go buy a mid player like Mount, you know there's problem.

Man utd is too big for Erik 7 Hag to handle

HeWasn'tSupported crew will soon resume shift
