The only thing that will signify progress is if ETH acknowledges his shortcomings when it concerned player recruitment, and asks for a proper doF.

If we announce a capable doF in the coming months, then there's hope. If not, the stubborn ETH will def get sacked.

This! He should just go meet Richard and co and tell them to give him a DoF. He is making too many mistakes, even on the pitch (asides from signings), which shows that he is still a rookie in the game. Unfortunately, he’s spent 400m with only a few reasonable signings to show for it.

You see that third goal yesterday, na dat one even pain me pass. Joao Pedro didn't even add power to that shot! Like wtf!!

Just too easy. Opponents just need to try and bam, the goals will enter.

eph12:
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

Wicked!

ETH is just a stubborn goat, honestly!

afrodoc2:
LOL. I am not waiting for the day you blame the Glazers for anything.

You hear that a man built a nice bungalow. However, he didn't design the house, hire the labourers or buy the building materials. You now give him contract to build your high-rise. This time however you allow him to design the house, employ labourers, and buy the materials. You are now acting shocked that the high-rise is crumbling.

Well, i already blamed them for giving Ralf the coaching job that made everyone give up on him.

Btw, the guys that build skyscrapers started from somewhere. Someone gave them the chance to move away from Bungalows to mid-rises and then skyscrapers, and trusted them to do everything. It’s called a turnkey construction/contract. Experience comes through more/higher responsibilities.

afrodoc2:
If you are saying they depend on the fans for direction then we are in trouble. It is this PR-driven policy that has led us to this. "What will people say" is what they think about rather than "What is the smart/right thing to do". Imagine giving a man who was not even in charge of building squads of 100-200m total control of building a squad of 500m-900m. WITH NO EVIDENCE.

They get their instructions from fans that are so fickle that they will turn on a manager after 2 poor results. There is one popular YouTuber who was selling ETH "Ten Heisenberg" T-shirts a few weeks ago. The same guy is now ETH out.
Meanwhile when it comes to selling the club like most fans want, they have not done that one o. But when it comes to making ridiculous decisions they obey the fans.

But y’all say the fans are important, we need to please the fans, after all they drive the cashflow. Same way customers determine a company’s products.

Anyway, in this case, we wanted to have a ‘fantastic’ manager on board. This is not the first time clubs meet managers’ conditions. ETH had some leverage due to his stint at Ajax plus we have not had a good manager in ages.

Expert17:
We need more signings

Serious or you are joking? Would you give this guy more money to spend?

eph12:
I guess they were desperate

The pressure was too much na. We sacked Ole, and quickly snapped up Ralf, the mistake they made was having him manage the team, I am sure ETH saw his performances and said no to having him around him. Plus ETH is a stubborn goat. Honestly!

Expert17:
Ok, after just 5 games.

did you watch De Gea first season 2011/2012? Lol

The donut guy? I def remember when he really struggled with aerial balls, but we knew what he could do. Onana is not a goalkeeper!

afrodoc2:
Fans are allowed not to know what they are getting into, not club owners. And are you saying they started scrutinizing his CV AFTER employing him? You are worse than Maguire's mother. LOL

Anyway some of us here called it that he needed another person around him to help with squad building, cos anybody who follows football closely knows that Overmars firstly and VDS were the people who built those Ajax teams. If you are saying the Manchester United ownership and management did not know this, then the fault is theirs.

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.

Expert17:
I'm still waiting for Onana's error that led to goal(s), show us abeg....
All these epistles won't get your MCM a new club.

I am not a DDG fan. I wanted him gone too, but was hoping we’d get another keeper, not Onana. Ball playing keeper my foot!

Expert17:
Key saves kor padlock saves ni.. lmao

Who was the goalkeeper in the games below??

Lol. We all know how keepers make key saves to keep teams in a game or ensure their teams savage 1 point or all three points.

We don’t even last minutes on the pitch before this guy opens yansh yakata. Wtf! Onana has been conceding simple goals.

Expert17:
Run your agenda without lying na, haba 😄😄

You are the stats guy, go and bring key saves per game, important saves till date, saves that prevented us from dropping points etc. A save is not a save.

eph12:
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

You are right. We did not understand what we were getting into. Everybody was happy that a successful manager at Ajax was coming to OT. We just started scrutinizing his CV. It’s getting clearer that the guy is not there yet and he’s not even close.

eph12:
Glazers get their own fault. Their fault this time around was that they completely trusted ETH without any evidence

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.

everton4life:
This was during first half I made this comment. And someone had the gall to ask me why Rashford shouldn't cut and shoot? Even when there are literally four bodies blocking space and hojlund has positioned himself clearly unmarked and waiting for a tap in? Which kind Laba Laba fans dey this thread sef?

Omo, God punish both Rashford and ETH. Rashford for his selfishness, there was a time Erasmus hustled for the ball, gave a pass to Rashford and found space for himself in front of goal. Rashford decided to shoot instead of pass. I have never seen a self-centered player like Rashford. As for ETH, I don’t think he sees the game real time. Can’t he bench Rashford for a few games? See huge space in the midfield. I don’t know if his eyes are right behind his skull. We cannot make progress this way now.

raumdeuter:
At least with Ole you know say na counter attack he wan play whether na versus Everton, Stoke, vs Arsenal vs City or Kano Pillars

Abeg what is ETH pattern or style

Playing from the back, pressing and transition football. Basically, Onana to Mount.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
But why Bruno go dey pack yellow card all the time...

E no dey watch KDB highlights?

They are coming for you.

player with the most number of forward passes, and through balls. Abeg o!

Dexyity:
People always want to blame Onana. Honestly, those goals were crazy and Onana have little chance of saving them.

Those are shot taken cleanly with no defender and sight. They Brighton player had no pressure so they placed their shot perfectly.

We know say Onana no reach De gea shot stopping ability but at least, we are still trying to build with him. If the team have its mojo back, if God says, we will enjoy Onana than De gea. That is fact!

What are we building? Lol. Fans will say the team has got no spine, we need to spend 1 billion to buy a spine!

Onkoolos:
That means Bayern Munich will be the first scape goat. We are still recharging from international duty , by Wednesday, All our players will be fit. I expect nothing less than 2 -0 in that match in favour of man u.

Abeg stop this. Except you are just trolling.

Sancho is in trouble today!

oliverano:
United's next game nah Bayern?

Na wah ooo lol

No way! We played Bayern’s junior team today na. You want to kill us?

Brighton schooling ETH and his ex players.

Gambit001:
So it was De Gea keeping us afloat last season

Swear down! We were blinded by the passing from the back story!

Playing from the back, ball playing keeper, modern keeper, sweeper bla bla bla. Wash ni gbogbo e, if the manager no sabi anything!

metodman:
There's always that team that just makes most managers look like a mumu. I still want to believe Brighton is ETH's.

Not only Brighton o, na every club dey make the guy look like a mumu. He has been disappointing.

Some people will come tell us that 400m spend is not enough to convincingly beat Wolves and Forest.

It is well!

raumdeuter:
Real Bayern cometh soon

God airpus!

engrelvis:
l will keep saying it. Y on Earth will u replace Onana with De Gea .yes he concedes goal(even stupid ones) but generally dey r nt in same class.De Gea is far ahead . D number goals dis fake keeper will concede eh. ETH romance with exes is what will finally consume him. With exception of Martinez ( nt so sure of Casemiro again)all his buys v been very dissappointing

Ojuju looks like a decent buy. We need a better manager abeg. ETH no sabi anything!

I hope Cameroon qualified for and will call Onana for nations cup. I really want to see less of him in the pitch for Utd.

Let’s buy Brighton and rename it abeg. We keep the manager and other back room staff.

Lol, Brighton just dey panel beat us for house. Dem dey play like Bayern.
