    Erik Ten Hag

    Ten Hag will have almost nothing to do with the Greenwood decision. I imagine most managers would take him if given the choice. Their job is to win games above anything else. It wont bother the players. Football dressing rooms aren’t exactly college campuses when it comes to progressive values. They’ll largely sympathise with him I’d bet. I suspect Greenwood and his team will do some PR work before any return, probably involve Harriet in some capacity to win people over. If he doesn’t play for the club again it will be because they deemed him too problematic for the brand. Footb

  2. The likely script is another howler from de gea or a defender and chelsea to treat it like a cup final leaving us to scrap it out for a point on the final day.

    To think what is out there and Ten Hag opts for him. Seriously the thought process baffles me. So basically relying a 31 soon to be 32 year old who is susceptible to stupid challenges playing just behind 2 No.8's and when he gets suspended, which he will, he'll throw in Fred or McTominay and we're back in the room.... This has got Neil Webb written all over it. I defy anyone to say they seriously had Mount at the top of any list when they had a list of midfielders...and if you say you always wanted him you're lying. Bollocks signing imo.

  4. this will relegate eriksen to the bench, a move that I think will work out really well *clip this in 6 months when he’s forgotten how to take a set piece and generally sucks arse all of a sudden*

  5. Personally, i think we'll show up and look like shit and City will walk around us comfortably and we'll lose 2 or 3-0. Rashford will stand on the shoulder of the defense waiting for a ball over the top to run onto all game. Bruno will be the main point of hate after the game, specifically for pundits and media who will show us multiple clips of him post game complaining or whatever else.

    The club is testing the waters. My opinion hasn't changed. He's a misogynistic scumbag and should fuck off. Do not want him back at the club.

    There's going to be people claiming they should've stuck with bielsa but that ship had sailed clearly imo - they botched it by neither sticking with marsch long enough *nor* twisting and getting rid quickly enough - they had to do one or the other, they did neither - happy to see the scum down in the championship for at least a year

  10. Possibly, proof will be in the pudding Nxt season, seen enough in glimpses that I fully expect the football to evolve after a (hopefully) strong summer transfer window he’d of been an absolute fool not to adapt be pragmatic with this squad, in fact good chance he’d of been sacked by now. it’s not aligning with a manager it’s giving the man time to implement not the football I want to see longer term but his first season is a definite overall positive pass whatever way you look at it

    Erik Ten Hag

    I stopped liking ten Hag during the Overmars incident at Ajax. He continued to defend him after the evidence came to light. Do you deny that he played a player accused of stabbing someone (soon fled to Russia after Ajax facilitated a transfer), defended his friend Overmars who was forced to resign, tried to sign a racist (Arnautović), made his latest Greenwood comments (soft launch to gauge public opinion). His family are one of the wealthiest in The Netherlands. He's from old money. Tbh, I dislike you more than ten Hag. He's many things, but not a fool.

    They've done a PR job on him all right. But I heard the tape and people like that don't change. Besides, if they did bring him back, the women's team would probably make a royal stink about it. Better to get rid.

    I'd sign Haller if possible. ten Hag has worked with him at Utrecht and Ajax. His profile is exactly what ten Hag likes. Openda, RC Lens, would be much cheaper. Balogun too. Although Arsenal would prefer to sell him to a foreign club. I'd take a punt on Patson Daks as well. There's a vey good striker in there. Rodgers didn't give him enough starts.

  22. We will have some 5-8 good minutes and then they will start playing football. We will concede soon and that will be the end. If we score first somehow then it will be even more difficult. The team has shown repeatedly that they get nervous and stop playing once we are ahead in the game. Overall zero chances of us winning it.

    Horrible for Haller. Who knows what would have happened had he scored his penalty... But yeah, 71 points is a very low tally for a 34 game league. Bayern being poor has made it a more enjoyable top 4 battle though. Union Berlin were the wildcard this season, and Frieburg almost secured CL football too. Something different. It's crazy how low down clubs like Stuttgart, Schalke 04 and Werder Bremen are these days. They were competing for titles and cups in the 00's. Bayern should bounce back next season with a new tactical system built around Kimmich who is playing some sensation

  32. Suspect we're going to be disappointed, and he'll go strong... but I'd go for something like this Garnacho Weghorst Elanga Eriksen* McTominay Mainoo Malacia Lindelof** Maguire Dalot De Gea (meh) *I wouldn't start him v city, but ETH will ** lack of CBs fit That team would be vaguely competitive v fulham, and it would mean all but Lindelof and DDG from this xi would be rested: DDG; AWB, Varane, Lindelof, Shaw***; Casemiro, Fred, Bruno, Sancho, Martial, Rashford *** If he's ok for the final Fwiw I would actually consider playing mcfred and case

  33. I would rest the players who are expected to play for the cup final. I think it's more important to keep playing players to keep momentum going when you're talking about weeks, but missing one game shouldn't be an issue. We need to be as fresh as possible for the final to have any chance of winning it.

  34. Mourinho sort of gambled it all on beating Ajax in 2017. He rotated a lot during the final few games. Guys like Mitchell, Harrop and McTominay made their debuts. United only took 5 points from 15. That should have been a top 4 finish.

  37. What use is comparing to 2/3 years ago? why not 5/6? 9/10? - Progress isn't a linear thing, He's not a guardiola type but he borrows a lot of his principles, I do think IF he gets backing in terms of who he can bin, and we sign enough players then he'll become more possession heavy, I also think our play with the ball and in transtition is a lot more structured / repeatable than it was under ole, and before the squad got gassed the counterpressing looked good too, I don't concern myself with the possession stat of any one off game, ultimately he could never come in and change things as drastic

  39. SofaScore and FotMob. United have gotten away with it in plenty of games. Not just xG. Playing like shit and still winning. It's the DNA of United. Southampton away, Fulham in The FA Cup, this game. Just 3 examples of United winning while playing poorly.

    Yeah we will see, there’s a lot of good stylistic fits out there, it annoys me though that he’s got the influence he has, because no well run club works that way anymore, he should be telling them I want a player like ____ who can do x, y and z And they should then let him veto a list of say 3-5 targets, with the view of signing one of them he should dictate the shape and roles and not the individuals actually picked for those spots, it’s inefficient, and don’t get me started on that rb fiasco with ole a few years ago

    I hold off and wait to see who we get rid of and who we sign in the summer before agreeing with this. We could quite easily have 1 signing done by the time the league kicks off.

    You can get away with it in The Eredivisie. ten Hag has struggled in the knockout stages in Europe for a reason. Despite some good group stage showings. I see Mount as a Bruno type player. Not a CM or Fred alternative. He wants to be on the ball and creative. He just happens to work hard off the ball, which is a bonus. ten Hag would be better off trying to sign Gravenberch. Tuchel will likely revive his Bayern career if he does stay though. Liverpool are interested. I'm very surprised that ten Hag isn't interested in players like Caqueret and Enzo Le Fée. He really see

    Its easy to get, i never said it was my money, but i support the club and hate watching us make short sighted signings. Kane or no Kane, we're not gonnna be competing for the league within the next 2-3 years. And the next 2-3 years are all we're gonna get from a 30 year old Kane, for 100m. We'll find ourselves back looking for ANOTHER striker within a few season, and if by chance another top striker appears, we're stuck with 100m 30 year old Kane. He's also not guaranteed success at all, the fuckin guys never won a trophy in his career. In the big finals for Spurs he's never st

    Kane and Bruno would either be a raging success or a complete disaster. Kane likes to drop off to link the play and play defence splitting passes. Bruno likes to do the same things. Maybe Bruno could make 3rd man runs and Kane could help find them with his passing range. It's hard to tell without seeing them play together. I don't think Kane would a bad signing. A younger striker would be better though.

    Scraping to achieve the bare minimum. Guilty of repetitive tactics even when he states performances have been unacceptable Some of the worst away tactics I've ever seen from a United manager Made some of the worst substitute decisions that leaves me scratching my head. Playing out of form players week in week out and sticking and trying desperately to justify those horrific decisions. Basically plays his favourites. Style of play is basically from the Solskjaer era. Better season than last...let's face it we couldn't get any worse could we...however he will not be

  49. We have to accept that we are no longer at the top table, we can get very good players, but not exceptional ones in their prime. We just have to hope that ETH can coach an extra few % out of the players we have and bring better than we have.....stating the obvious.
