I think we were always going to come across this point, half way through 3 years.
Last season after the opening games, there's no danger of him being sacked. So players had to buck their ideas up. We also had a pretty settled spine for most of the season until post league cup win We had...Dea Gea...Varane..Martinez...Casemiro..Bruno...Rashfor d. For the most part it was rock solid. We've not had anywhere near the same continuity this season. I really hope Ten Hag can steer us through this point and he makes it to a 3rd season. It really doesn't excuse his performances against the bigger sides especially away from home. Still, so much garbage to clear before I make my mind fully up on him, he needs to be allowed the time |

What other club has bugger all in the way of sporting directors who know what they are doing, leaves it all up to the manager and forces half the additions to be loan signings? |

Then up pops Jem thinking that playing Mainoo on Sat would solve all our issues. |

Is he your uncle? If he is doing as bad job he should rightfully be binned. He hasn’t earnt the right for blind faith and his day to day decisions stink. Next game we play i bet you at half time we will all be calling for changes… |

Maybe getting a sporting director is the way but we’ve had a lot of success over the years without one. The manager has been picking his targets. You’d think he’d want at least 2 strikers with us resorting to Wout Weghorst last season yet we’re relying on Martial. |

Most even go through his agents company including agents have to JV through them to get players in and out the club. He has also signed players he worked with before which is more than a sure bet yet they are the worst performers in the squad for money spent. A the glazers are terrible owners but ETH has made it not necessarily a money issue as the funds have been spent. 400m and loan deals and your argue only ONE player has been a success and that player has even been injured longer than he has been available for selection. his loan signings last year were shit and the current one aren’t event concerning themselves in glory. his last transfer window was a complete shambles with none of the incoming permanent signings making us better in the positions they were bought. Our goalkeeper is worse then de gea our no.7 doesn’t give us the steel we need in midfield and isn’t better than our captains that occupies the same position and we can’t play then both. our striker is young , raw and doesn’t score or create. So while we have a big background issue with the ownership the manager is still spending and wasting the money he has been given. Quote:
Then knowing we need goals our main striker Should be a guaranteed bags man but he signed a raw teenager that score 9 goals in a top league. |

Odd to pick a loan he had to do to have a go at him for. Do you know that he didn’t want more attacking options in any of the last couple of windows? Or are you assuming based on what we have managed to recruit?* *I know the answer to that. Im sure you’ll get your wish anyway and we can see this process be repeated for the 6th time. |

Of this spine, DDG has gone (fine - most wanted it). Varane has been ostracised. Rashford, for whatever reason, has fallen out of form and been shunted around the pitch then dropped. Martinez’ form dropped off at the start of the season (May have been injuries; May have been second season syndrome) - more generally, I’d be concerned about how he plays when not next to Varane. Bigger concern imho would be that Cas will need replacing (clearly) and if the Malen->Sancho talk is to be believed we’re still trapped in buying players ETH has worked with / has relationships with, which evidently will not work. |

Do I know that he didn’t want attacking options? I know what positions he did ‘strengthen’. I picked a loan signing because it was an area that he highlighted as an area for improvement and he signed one player in that position who is unproven. My wish? I couldn’t care less who manages United but when you don’t hold people accountable for poor decisions, there’s no chance of improving. |

I was fairly optimistic headed into this season. We had very straightforward early fixtures. I was concerned at our shocking goal scoring form last which was almost generationally bad for a top 4 team, and concerned Rashford may regress, but hopeful that Ten Hag knew what he was doing signing Mount for the Eriksen role. Also hopeful he’d identify a cf who could score, given the summer. Instead the pattern of woeful goal scoring has only worsened. The Mount-for-Eriksen move has been a disaster that was written off basically after 2 games. Yet again he has bought a striker who cannot buy a goal in the English league. He sets the team up generally like Hodgson’s Crystal Palace with Bruno in the Eze role. We are on to score as few goals as ever since we were relegated. Not at all bashful to say the summer optimism was misplaced and by every metric the manager is absolutely & utterly clueless. |

Mount is a very questionable buy. Antony is good and bad, jury out. Problem is, EtH is doing this shit alone. Brighton, Villa, well EVERYONE else seems to have a structure where the manager has actual scouts with input and reports etc. It shouldn't come down to it being just the manager. Quote:
Who thought Onana was shit last season? |

Quote:
Sometimes players aren't able to step up from a poorer league, and I'm worried the same may apply to ten Hag. He's looked genuinely clueless far too often. But he's been dealt a poor hand. Onana needs binning urgently imo. A shaky keeper spreads fear throughout the team, and he's quite simply a total £#%&!ing disaster. |

playing mainoo and amrabat would give the team better balance than just playing one of them. other issues are addressed by other comments. you are an idiot. |
