BlueMann:
Five points from five games which included West Ham, Nottingham, Luton and Bournemouth

We might actually finish worse than 12th

This is actually funny

Bournemouth held to a draw at home

ChristoBam:
I just wonder when United fans will start using their brains and not head to the predictable route of blaming the manager at every point the team starts to falter. It's tiring, especially for someone like me that's fed up with the continuous emotional investment into the team with no happy returns.

Brighton is a team with a clear structure and direction. Potter and DZB are/were both tools in actualizing those plans the hierarchy had. If DZB leaves today, they bring in a manager with a similar profile.

Potter was the hot cake during his time at Brighton. Actually brought this team from the championship and had them playing real beautiful football. Man left that structure, got to a Chelsea that had a total different direction and looked like an absolute bum. Why? Everything was different. From recruitment, to style of play he was used to, to fans with zero patience and high expectations.

The cost of Brighton's team, I saw being pasted around while Potter was manager at Brighton. What was the cost of the team when he got to Chelsea?


Back the manager. Get a real DOF that can actually help in creating a system that was present at Ajax. Ten Hag should focus on what he's actually good at and the other jobs like recruitment and direction should be left to a competent hand. It's actually simple but I guess those types of appointments affect some other things in regards to the owners.

What does back the manager mean to you? Let's discuss

nitrogen:
Ridiculous excuses. Someone is not good at making game defining saves, dem dey come up with excuses for him. God airpus!

We're in trouble

nitrogen:
Na only goals conceded through Onana’s mistakes we go count. Straight shots don’t count.

Shots that the keeper didn't see does not count too

odizeey:
Why did the defenders allow him to face a shot?

His primary role is to control midfield.

lol expert get problem

odizeey:
That's the problem. Selective discipline. Looks like another failed quest for a good manager

This one must come good o. There are no good managers out there

Mrviktor:
Never in my lifetime did I think a premier League hame would be on and il be watching granada vs osasuna.

Granada ke?

Leyqute:
His goal attempt created the corner that turned into a goal.

He's not even 100% fit yet..

Yes! His ability to go both sides is a blessing. Our favorite Antony will definitely bring the ball to his left and play some nonsense shot that won't be on target

Greenwood is still sharp. He will be up to speed and fully fit very soon

Goal ball

Greenwood already has more crosses than Antony and Rashford combined. Don't ask me for any source

Leyqute:
I could say that I'm Rashford's biggest critic here. He's been underwhelming since the season started.

Whenever he's not scoring goals, he offers next to nothing. But the problem is that he needs confidence and form to start scoring regularly. He needs some solid bench time.

Play for the team first before chasing personal glory.

If the team is playing as a team, his goals will flow. That shouldn't be difficult for him to understand if ETH is emphasizing on it

Leyqute:
So, your source for accurate football stats is 101greatgoals.com?

If the fake stats didn't align with your agenda, maybe you'd have read the piece or at least verify their source, a parody account on Twitter, before trumpeting it here.

I'm not against having an agenda but let's make sure it's rooted in facts and reality, not emotions or fallacy.

I just realized Onana has conceded 10 goals,not 7. Apologies

raumdeuter:
When I hear Glazer Glazer I always want to ask what should they be doing that they're not

Are you minding them? Most just follow the mob to shout Glazers without thinking

nitrogen:
Wicked!

Abi is that not what they mean when they keep on shouting Glazers after every poor performance

raumdeuter:
In specific terms, what should the Glazer do that they are not doing currently

All they need to do right now before ETH and his boys can start playing well is to sell the club. Apparently they're playing poorly as a protest against the Glazers

Expert17:
He was exposed and saw the ball late. His mistake was going with both hands.

So he made a mistake? Onana is lucky to have a defender like you, not those nonsense like Martinez and co

With Ragnick or anyone with that profile, I'm pretty sure we won't be pursuing expensive transfers

nitrogen:
Well, I am sure they knew, reason they planned to have Ralf around him. I think the issue started when ETH asked for control. It was part of his conditions to take the job. We could not have said no to him at that point because the fans were already expecting ETH, plus there were no alternatives in the market.

I guess they were desperate

If VAR was used correctly, we should have conceded a penalty against Wolves due to Onana's error. He should thank the referee for helping him out

Leyqute:
Rashford vs Brighton.

https://twitter.com/jm10ii/status/1703132954245968284?s=46

Exceedingly poor.

When I said if we're being serious Rashford has to be dropped, most disagreed. Someone that offers nothing unless his shot hits the back of the net, and won't create for his teammates.

Leyqute:
Faced 10 shots and conceded 7 goals.

Do you have any evidence to back this up?

I know the team is playing poorly and we have our personal agendas but lets let our criticisms be rooted in truth, fact and evidence.

See what I found though. They are claiming 10 shots on target, 7 goals conceded. I think this was after the 3rd goal

I said "I don't want to believe". I'm on your side

nitrogen:
Not anyone’s fault tbh. We all thought ETH is the messiah we’ve been waiting for. Management needed to give him control else it’s the same fans that will say we messed up by not giving him all the support he needs, instead we are forcing players on him. Not like Liverpool and City force players on their managers.

But according to report, he has never been solely in charge of transfers.

His Ajax team only did something once and he couldn't even reproduce it the next season. It's not like Klopp that we could see his progress and consistency in the different clubs he has coached, till he ended up going shoulder to shoulder with the top teams in multiple seasons, not just once

odizeey:
I swear. The guy fall hand.

ETH can still come good if he accepts his own shortcomings and work on improving them. But he is a stubborn fellow. He is forming disciplinarian but he's a selective one. If he doesn't do something fast, Rasmus will flop

I don't want to believe Onana has faced only 10 shots and conceded 7 goals already. DDG that was diving everywhere as they wanted to use shots to kill him lmao

odizeey:
At least play your style with your players.

Shey na glazers go still coach?

Glazers get their own fault. Their fault this time around was that they completely trusted ETH without any evidence

odizeey:
You'll think Ten Hag didn't buy any players.

You'll think he is working with only players he met here.

Over half of the starting 11 are players he brought in himself

Gary Neville said pre match they had to be optimistic, but they all knew the defeat was coming. We have a supposedly world class coach

Jokerman:
Why is it so hard for TenHag to play good football after spending over 400m?

They said he was not backed

AdisaOwala:
I think Rashford's matter has always been a case of "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed fellow is king".

Truth is that his football growth hasn't turned out the way we envisaged and it's rather unfortunate.

It looks like ETH just tell the players to go and enjoy themselves on the field, no strict instructions. If there are strict instructions, why do we see these things happen every match and nothing is done about it. This is so confusing.
