Mhen!! This season is going to be a long season for Manchester United. To start with the players are really loosing self confidence and this is a big problem for a team that wants to play good football and win trophies. Let talk about Bruno Fernandez who has gradually been losing form since the start of this season. As a captain there are lots of responsibilities to carry. But then it’s beginning to look like the responsibilities are much for him to carry, I think it’s time to let him start from the bench maybe two or three match. To see if he wouldn’t find his form. He also feels no matter how bad he plays nobody is starting ahead of him. Which is a wrong mentality for a player to have. Look at man city. If you feel to important and then end up playing out of position. Be rest assure that you’re starting from the bench. Greenlish feel victim of that his first and second season at city and foden started ahead of him. Injury wasn’t the main reason. But person form and what you contribute to the time. While everyone felt things were going well with foden. Doku was signed and now foden starts from the bench most at times. Now this how to run a proper football team. No matter being the key player, the coach at times needs to discipline a player when they feel too important. Ten hag did it to Christian Ronaldo which everyone was against. But then he was right if we are being honest. Now he doesn’t want to do same to players like Rashford, Bruno. The reason being that the fans will be mad at him like they did during Ronaldo’s time. Mind you he is risking his job.
United needs to change their tactics or better still change their tactical coach if possible. The team doesn’t have style of play. So much needs to be done internally to see the team go through this struggle.

Match stats shows that Roma fully controlled and dominated the match, with 75% ball possession, 23 shots but the shame is they only made 2 big chances in this match and eventually they failed to score even a single goal.

In football, domination is not important, final result is important and Elfsborg has it today with a single goal to get three points. This defeat in Sweden shows that Roma are not actually improved too much with their new appointed coach, Juric. They will fluctuate between wins and losses with very low margin of difference, before Juric can improve their team significantly or he will be fired and out of Roma.

Roma is losing to Elfsborg with a narrow score (0-1). F for Roma. They got thrashed by a low-tier team, Elfsborg. They have a lot of ball possession but are unable to score. Unbelievable.

They recorded 23 shots in total; 2 of them could have won them the game, but due to their wasteful attackers. They wasted it all. They also very often did back pass; they're backpass FC now.

It's very shameful to see that they lost to a team that has a signature as their badge. They were pathetic this whole season; they have been horrible to watch, too. Juric OUT!!!!!

Lately there are many surprises in several matches most favorite teams lose or just draw we don't know whether this is a trend or just unlucky day what is certain as a gambler we feel trapped even for now we must be more careful in placing bets on 1x2 I prefer both teams to score or over on total goals. For Manchester United I really don't think they win because their main target is only a draw this is normal because lately they play bad.

The results of today's games involving teams I know surprised me. I expected Real Sociedad to at least draw, but they lost. Braga also lost, Galatasaray drew, Ajax drew, Roma lost, Fenerbahce drew, Besiktas lost, Porto drew. These were teams that I expected to get a good result, something like winning. But there were also teams that I know that won, such as Lazio, Tottenham, Lyon. This is a competition in which it seems that certain teams that are popular have not been able to show superiority when playing against certain teams that are not popular. It's funny that in certain scenarios the teams that are not popular don't have much money and beat popular teams that have a lot of money.

Seriously I can’t find words to describe this Ten Hag again in as much as I will still blame certain players in fact most of the players for this poor performances I will say this Man has a chunk of questions to answer, Rashford last season was poor Ten Hag didn’t even sun him off in games, Rashford this season has been lively most especially today and he decided to take him out not that Garnacho wasn’t a threat when coming on but substitutions like this usually demoralizes your players confidence. When I saw the substitution i was even thinking the lad had picked up injury not knowing that it was nothing.

Ten Hag substitutions to me have been questionable even the introduction of evans and Maguire although it got the team the equalizer but at moment what was Ten Hag thinking. Also Bruno Fernandez has been a bad moment of lately even though I don’t think he deserved the two red cards he has gotten so far but he seriously needs to be on rested. As for winning the Europa league I think they can go on if they sort themselves out. Ten Hag already saying that they should be judge at the end of the season

You're right. Bruno Fernandes deserves to be benched, it is quite annoying that he gets 2 consecutive red cards. There should be a problem in his mentality, he must take a rest for a moment. I think it is the time for Eriksen to replace Bruno's position temporarily. Meanwhile Ugarte and K Mainoo can support Eriksen as other players in the midfield line. This change may bring a better impact for Man United performance than keeping Bruno Fernandes in the position. For the captain, I think Rashford can be considered as a new captain. Who knows this will improve Rashford's confidence.

We can understand if many fans want him to be sacked. Ten Hag failed to improve Man United in this season. He already got too many bad results. Anyway, I heard an issue that Ferguson asked Man United board to hire Allegri as a new coach.

Interesting results in today's matches. FC Porto vs Manchester United might be the most betted match but it turned out to be a draw. I was hoping for a Porto win. Another contested match between FC Twente and Fenerbache too resulted in a draw. The surprising result were Roma being defeated by Elfsborg and Real Socieded being defeated by Anderlecht. Though it's too early to judge which teams would directly qualify for Round of 16 as the table could still rapidly changes after few matches.

The earlier, the better for Ten Hag to be shown the exit door, and the better for Manchester United to improve on their performance. However, Ten Hag is only living on his past glory of having won 8 trophies in the last six years of his career. He now thinks that he can prove all his doubters wrong as he did last season by winning the FA Cup for Manchester United.



On that note, Ten Hag does not think that he has lost this time around at this strategy of taking Manchester United to its former glory of winning trophies due to the availability of a second chance given to him to keep heading Manchester United as a coach.

Manchester United's Premier League match against Aston Villa will be another match to question Ten Hag's stay at Manchester United. Let's see what his remarks would be on that match, whether it will be the same as today's remark on the Porto draw match or something different like accepting the fact that he needs to be sacked as a coach of Manchester United.

I completely agree with you, Ten Hag statement always contains comedy in it, and for now it is hard to believe. Even many assume, Ten Hag will not make it to the end of the season, where a series of bad results make his position very threatened by dismissal, although it is still full of mystery. His decision to rotate players raises various questions, why he never learns from his mistakes. Rashford who looked quite good in the first half, was rotated in the second half by Garnacho. A decision that I think is very wrong, but Ten Hag always has a reason to deny his mistake.
The ups and downs of performance that Manchester United continues to experience, seem to make it difficult for them to realize their ambitions, The Red Devils actually have a great chance of winning the Europa League trophy this season.
In the next match, in the Europa League and Premier League, Ten Hag is certain to lose Bruno Fernandes because he got a red card, that is a big loss. It is very difficult to explain the current situation of The Red Devils, luck seems to always be reluctant to side with them. Meanwhile, fans should thank their former captain Maguire, who saved Manchester United from defeat today.

A wise man once said:


I believe Man Utd fans are learning about this the hard way. I knew they were in a bad place under Ole and needed a big break and ETH came in and they were very optimistic about his arrival. Maybe if they had kept their expectations lower, their disappointment wouldn't be much. ETH should focus on delivering consistent results and not perfect press conferences.

Btw, "ETH OUT" has been trending on X (formerly Twitter) for the past 2-3 hours.

Yes, that's right, no need for judgment. Because everything already looks like that, the final result at the end of the season? Hmm, no need for judgment and high expectations anymore. If the result is bad, it's normal, if the result is good, then it's extraordinary. Don't expect much from what Ten Hag says in every interview.

Well, at least now Man United are in the top 21. The important thing is not in the bottom box. That's the hope given by Ten Hag.  

Rashford can’t give out his best for the team ever since I observed Rashford no longer play excellent like before, I guess Fernadez just started playing horrible also I believe more in Fernadez because he’s good, I stopped watching the match when both teams equalized. Porto is a strong team but how did the game turned against Manchester United seeing a 3-2 got me angry despite Manchester United is not my favorite team they’ve lost their quality as a team and I don’t think they can retain another big name again if care is not taken.
Someone asked a question if ten hag can receive his sack letter immediately and I laughed, this is so funny more surprising how he can’t save the team and his career.

Anything to save his job at this point. Everybody knows he has done a shitty job at Man Utd so far. Of course, he brags about the domestic trophies he has won every time he comes under fire with critics. If Man Utd was going to get better, I believe 1 season is more than enough grace. He's got two already and still asking for more. Most Man Utd fans I know and friends with are no longer patient with him and want him out.

When you consider how much time he has had and the amount of money he has spent on signings, it doesn't justify it.

I agree with you strongly because if you are talking about time to prove how worthy some one can be, ten hag has gotten a whole lot of that from Manchester united and all they get in return has been loads of motivational post match press conference speeches, he's not improving at any good rate, yet he gives higher motivation and increase the expectations of the fans and the management by every passing game making it feel like he's got his game and knows exactly what he is doin. Probably because he's got a really firm root that assures him of his cordiality with the management he's always have a way to get his job secured and has got almost no fear of loosing it and so he handles his games the way he feels its okay and get just any result knowing he will still be retained even if he looses multiple games at same time.

Ten Hag's comments are a separate type of comedy.
It is unlikely that anyone reads his statements for any purpose other than to laugh.
Meanwhile, United have won just once in their last eight European games. The fact that Ten Hag has not yet been sacked in the face of such results is some kind of inexplicable mystery.

In performance, Porto looked better than Manchester United but Manchester United was lucky to have scored the first two goals in the game still they did not win. Honestly, Bruno Fernadez and Rashford played terribly, and I don't get to blame 10hag on this loss. When they need to get to the ball they don't run and when the ball is with them they pass the ball excessively.

Mehn the truth is 10hag is so closed to being sacked since he cant the necessarily change to help himself out and achieve a single win. for a long time now.

Not every coach gets that favour of being given the opportunity of proving his worthiness in the club by the  club management. Some coaches falls out of favour and get sacked immediately they're not providing the expected results with the club and Daniele De Rossi just fell into that category but from what we are witnessing about the players performance under the new coach  Ivan Juric they have gotten good games in the serie A except in their Europa games, and Ivan Juric, especially would need to work on his attacking front, it's fundamental.

This problem that Manchester United currently faces emanates from the manager. It was a big mistake for Manchester United management to still allow the coach to still continue this season even after the poor performance from last season. He has brought most of the players he is used to from his days as manager in Ajax, but still no progress with his team. It is really a shameful thing to see Manchester United performing this very poorly even when teams like Chelsea that also performed poorly last season have picked up.

“Don't judge us now in this moment, judge us at the end of the season” was the contained in the statement of Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag in his post match press conference tonight after his side failed to win at Porto despite going scoring the first two goals of the game. The Dutch manager still believes that he deserves more time to prove himself despite managing the team in the last two years. I think at the moment, ten Hag is clueless if what to do in other to improve the team which is why he deserves to be shown the exit door for the club to grow.
