Erik Ten Hag - Keep or Sack? APRIL EDITION.

People saying they want him potted *because* of today, though.

You are correct, the question is how much of it is bad luck and how much down to the manager.

Though an unlucky manager doesn't win stuff, which is why I voted for change.

This.

I've voted twice to keep him because I'd thought we'd improve and I wanted continuity. But, seeing the same shit, every £#%&!ing game where we're dominates and lucky to get a win or a draw or even keep the score down - it's not going to change, is it?

Its shocking how bad we are at the very basics. Injuries are a decent excuse/reason but when other teams have Injuries, they still don't play anything as badly as we do. Can anyone voting stay, please tell us how many games in this entire season we've looked totally in control and a class above our opposition?

Really terrible week. Three matches in a row thrown away at the death with stupid mistakes, idiot players switching off and absolutely bizarre subs. Two points from what should have been 9.

It just doesn't look like the players believe in him, sadly.

Don’t want to waste Mainoo and Garnacho’s talents on Ten Hag

It's been a shocking couple of months tbh. 1 win the last 6 games we're in hopeless form.

We had a tiny bit of momentum going and then, as usual, we get hit by a load of injuries to key players and everything went down the toilet.

If you look at expected points for this season, we are in 15th. Which gives you an indication of how much we are riding our luck and how brutal we have been.

A complete lack of control every week. Nothing is ever done to address any of the issues we see.

Surely it can’t be a deliberate strategy from ten hag to give opposition teams all the time and space they want? But if it isn’t, what exactly is the strategy? Genuinely have no idea.

I get we’re a counter attacking side - I think that’s a sad indictment of where we’re at as a club when we’re playing some of the worst teams in the league - but hay ho. But the rest of it - the openess, the inviting other teams to have copious amounts of space and time - completely baffles me. And everyone else it seems.

armers called it a while ago tbf

Once again we field a team that man for man I think we’re either equal or better than the opposition yet play like we’re the underdog from start to finish. That’s the management nothing else, not the Glazers or Fred or the WiFi, just the management.

Maybe the players are having difficulty understanding the phrase “start from behind”

The only playing style that is clearly jumping out is to sit back, absorb pressure, allow a shot load of shots at goal and fingers crossed we get them on a break. And when we are in possession, empty the midfield so when we inevitably lose the ball the opposition can stroll toward goal.

Could be 5D chess from the genius who got Ajax to a CL semi, but as the article says, doesn't quite feel sustainable.

You say that but we’ve managed to sustain it for the last 8 months

I might buy it if we were top of the league, or even remotely near it.
Or if we hadn't put in one of the worst champions league performances of all time.
