By WJD Go To PostLooks like I'm playing Alan Wake 2 instead.
By Laboured Go To PostCyberpunk for me but yeah.These two had the right idea.
I don't think Ten Hag will be sacked either. I just think that's where this club goes wrong, stick with something that's not working for too long. It absolutely will end with him sacked, it's just a decision if you want that to happen now, or next season. And how much time you want to waste.
By Kharma45 Go To PostThey’ve a competent manager who has a vision. We’ve the Wish version of him.The 'vision' is entirely enabled by the excellent sporting structure. From what I've read about City's transfer policy, Guardiola does select certain targets but not all of them. For other signings they agree with him on the profile of player they need and go out to sign the best then can find that has been identified.
We don't have any of that. The squad for the last decade has been a jumble of different managers wants and tactical profiles. It's a mess and one I don't think any manager will succeed with until something changes at upper management level.
Sacking him now or sticking with him won't change our season either way.
Not until the glazers would just fucking fuck off and die.

By Xpike Go To Postwonder how Bruno would be if he had signed for a good clubCould have gone to Spurs but Poch thought that Lo Celso was better.
imagine him, ode and rice

This is something people don't want to acknowledge or understand.
Pep's team was built for him years before he ever set foot at the club. DOF and recruitment was well in place by then. He wasn't the first part of that project, he was the last and that starts at the exec level.
Somewhat enjoying Cities Skylines. Despite the bad user experience and it running at a cinematic 24 fps.

And there is truth in what you’re saying Inky and Cleff but that does not excuse the fundamental basics going wrong out there. LOI teams play better than this.
By inky Go To PostRight. This is something people don't want to acknowledge or understand.On the other hand you have to make the best of what you've got, and since that seems to be basically nothing you need a manager who can actually select transfer targets and build a functioning team out of the mix, even if that's not the way top level football infrastructures tend to work these days. EtH is looking miles away from being that manager right now.

By Koko Go To PostScum time for you to bring me Boniface,Wirtz,Frimpong and Xabi.
Yeah, no one expects United to compete with City. Look how happy we were with the bare minimum last season.
Play well against teams that we should be better than, put a few goals past them, that's all.
Ole has been the only manager post Ferguson who has managed to get the team scoring goals.
Rashford carried the team last season, and he's not got that in him every year.

I think United will never get out of its rut as long as the Glazers are owners, they have absolute no interest in improving the club so they just hire whoever manager sounds kind of popular at rhe moment, then sign a couple of names regardless of game style, say they invested and then not fire the manager until he's already completely lost the plot

EtH is looking miles away from being that manager right now.His transfers have been whack, but I don't think every transfer has been his either.
Also, any team with a backline of Maguire, Evans Lindelof and McTom I'd expect to be bottom half.
The rest is all on him, yes. We should be playing more compact. Sticking to build from the back principles, using our striker better, finding an outlet for Rash Ford and not using our best player to plug a RW hole barely involved in play.
Like I said, I'm not married to eth, he's been delt s bad hand but he also doesn't know how to play out of it. I'd say it's 50/50 right now in terms of who's at fault.
By Fergie Go To PostWould've been quite happy for the ref and VAR to ignore it if Doku had sparked him out.Ten Hags little pet. Serious money on this one.
By Fergie Go To Post
Definitely. Another one for the bin. Some fans cut him slack because you’ll occasionally see him try to rev up the crowd or have the odd flashy dribble.
Can’t defend and his end product is just spamming crosses in with a lot of power and hoping for the best.
Edit - the GIF was frozen on Dalot.
Antony also a cunt. Bin.
We've the same problem as Chelsea in that they appear to be buying players without an actual plan as to how the manager will use them. Tuchel, Potter and Poch are all decent coaches, but have looked worse they they actually are. Their advantage is that there hasn't been 20 years of institutional rot. I guess they'll eventually dig their way out of the hole they're in.
United are praying first of all that Ratcliffe takes over the footballing operations side as rumoured. But then we also have to hope that the Glazer's don't interfere. Which I've no doubt that they'll try their hardest to.

By NiceGuy Go To PostAnthony is just a pathetic individualDont forget his acne.
Worse indictment of EtH by far, in his attempt to sign him, the amount of money he allowed to be spent on him, having him in the team at all, and his character.
Man Utd pls
Nuno's Spurs - 5 wins, 5 losses (15 points) from 10 PL games, sacked after losing the tenth game 3-0 at home to a Manchester team. All five wins were narrow one-goal wins. 16 goals conceded.
Ten Hag's United - 5 wins, 5 losses (15 points) from 10 PL games, lost the tenth game 3-0 at home to a Manchester team. All five wins were narrow one-goal wins. 16 goals conceded.
By Dr3upMushroom Go To PostIt really is a sign of the times when you feel sympathy for Man U.do u tho
By Dan Go To PostGreat performance from City all in all.
United only threatened off the back of our errors
By NiceGuy Go To Postdo u tho🤔🤔🤔
Bas Dost collapsed on the field and starting having seizures.
Thankfully he was conscious and moving when they took him off the field.
Hoping for the best, he is still very loved by our fanbase.

By Cleff Go To PostGuardiola is essentially telling us everything that's wrong at United.yep their cheating is perfectly coordinated
Quiet domino
Their financial cheating is completely seperate from the team they've assembled or something

By domino Go To Postyep their cheating is perfectly coordinatedOh, there's no doubt in my mind that they're massive cheats and wouldn't be half as successful.
But as United have demonstrated, there's no point in spending millions upon millions if you haven't a plan in place. City know exactly what type of player they need and try to get the one that's most aligned to their requirements.
That's all backed up by scouting and data analysis. They don't go to the manager and ask for a list of the exact players he wants. These guys aren't experts at player analysis and our club hierarchy should stop pawning off this key decision making process on them.
City's method isn't fool proof and the odd time you get a Kalvin Phillips. But they've had gar more success than failures when compared to us.
By BlindCom Go To PostETH needs time, clearly the right man with the wrong personnel above and below him.I agree, this is too funny to let it all stop now.
The City comparisons are fair to the extent of having the correct structure and personnel, ambitions, etc.
It's a competent organizational structure that of course is made better by endless financial crimes perpetrated by a slave state. But even with all their fucking crimes, financially it's pretty comparable to what United generate and could spend. Of course, in reality we have incompetent, malicious owners squeezing the club for every penny they can, saddling it with debt, not investing into the academy, facilities, development, ancillary teams and that doesn't keep up with modern scouting and recruitment methods.
A team with bankers and bean counters at the head of these departments that have no knowledge or interest in football as a sport.
