Let's not forget to give Erik Ten Hag his flowers when he deserves them. He has been tactically wonderful at times, but it is visible that the squad lacked consistency majorly. I think as much as I can credit Ten Hag for his tactical brilliance, his man management is poor, he also is bad at signing players and getting them accustomed to his style. The way the club plays most of their games does reflect the plan that ETH is trying to instill. But there are visible shortcomings, from the players, from the ideas.
I don't know, go watch something, the team that hasn't done very well for more than 3 seasons, at first when CR7 was there all the blame went to him, now that he's gone and he has a good squad, why are the players good and they haven't done anything? I don't think it's the players, the players are very good, but they can't do anything outside of the strategy that he imposes, in case one of them does something brilliant he won't like it because it goes outside of his formation or strategy, so that's the bad thing, no matter how much ESPN says it, when a team loses a lot they take out the coach and almost all of the time he is the solution, in fact I am 100% sure that if they take out Ten Hag they will start to have better results.
I don't know why there are still people who think that ETH is worthy of Manchester United at the moment when they were in bad shape during he coaching, the management has spent a lot of money by bringing in a lot of good players at their previous club but their performance is down under Ten Hag at the moment, then you say he has brilliant strategies and tactics and blame the players for being inconsistent?
Come on friends, we should think realistically if if other coaches who are better at coaching Manchester United with the current squad then they could be currently at the top of the standings, even smart coaches without getting big financial support can be better at bringing their team,
Overall I think that ETH has given all he has to give to this club and is right now exhausted of ideas, so it's a shame if fans still expects to see an impressive improvement from Manchester united under ETH.
He has good players at his disposal this season which any good coach will just have to use to build on but from what we're seeing UTD don't even have a playing pattern, each game seems like an experiment of one tactics/pattern to another.
He ETH is certainly not influencing his team positively for us to see those expected changes. Maybe he really needs to sit back and let a capable hand take over UTD. Only with that we can know if the problem is from the players or coach.
I think the squad owned by Liverpool is below the quality of Manchester United today, But in fact, Arne Slot is able to maximize the existing squad with his intelligence and game strategy.
Don't even think about it. In all round Liverpool has better quality players than Manchester united from the attacking forwards down to the defenders there's so much unequal quality, let not deviate on the issue on ground. No doubt Manchester united has good squad but just lacking an extraordinary manager with an adept approach to bring out the best in the players.
