Manchester United Banter

I'm not saying he should be sacked but does anyone seriously know how the training is conducted. I mean he wants to play a system but hasn't had players available to him to play it, so what does training look like. Is he training a system with players who can't play it hoping it will click and then the injured slotting back in when available. Its just that his "preferred" players have been out a long time now so how do they train for this system with players that clearly don't get it or can't play it.

Banjoe it didn't matter whether people want him sacked or not.
Eth will not be here next season. He knows it and he has for some time.

07 May 2024 09:54:09
He should get the sack Banjoe. The dross that’s being served up week in week out is indefensible. The players have downed tools, no doubt about that. The injury list is like nothing we’ve seen in a long time but ultimately it comes down to the coaches and how the team is set up.
Up until last night I thought Ten Hag might just escape the boot by the skin of his teeth but last night was the final straw for me.

07 May 2024 10:11:35
Who's told him that ken? How does he know?

07 May 2024 10:16:38
The players haven't downed tools they don't have the tools in the first place.

07 May 2024 10:29:50
They have a tool of a manager🤣.

07 May 2024 10:36:28
Last night was Watford all over again. If INEOS and SJR are serious about getting this club moving forward, I personally feel like they need to come out with a statement on the manager now, he stays or he leaves. Don't see how all the uncertainty is helping.

07 May 2024 10:49:15
Ports they can't at this time. Just need to be patient.

07 May 2024 11:17:16
Why can’t they Ken? Finances?

07 May 2024 06:49:09
All of the talk about last nights game will be about how poor casemerio and the rest were etc but feck me onana was just diabolical.

Bet at his near post for the second, the ball literally went into the middle of the goal for their 4th and him diving at full stretch coming for the other side. He looked like a guy on the way home from a night out with a kebab for their shot off the post at the end staggering to his feet

With every passing game I can't for the life of me understand how we got rid of de gea and "upgraded" with onana. He plays out from the back?! . he lumps the ball forward at every opportunity its a complete joke.


Yes de gea had his faults but there is no doubt if we still had him this season we would have got out of our group for the champions league and we would have a few more points on the board in the league.

Whatever happens next season with a new manager or not if we persist with onana as no.1 God help us.

07 May 2024 08:27:42
He’s the worst keeper I’ve seen be the number 1 choice since Tim Howard.

That shot near the end against the post summed him up.

07 May 2024 09:19:55
The pace of the shot took it past him for the first one near post no chance saving that

But let’s face it the defending was shocking

Think the 2nd goal he was unsighted but should have done better

But that defence regardless of missing cbs is awful

The worst defence we have had in my lifetime watching united.

07 May 2024 09:59:44
Awful goalkeeper. Simply awful.
A total clown with banana hands.
Lacking in so many of the fundamentals for this league and level.
47m absolute shambles.
Another of the managers hand picks along with Anthony mount ericksen amrabat.
Dope of a keeper dope of a manager.

07 May 2024 10:43:05
Bolger, shouldn’t near post be one of the hardest places to score? I remember the old saying of you should never be beaten at the near post.

I’m no keeping expert, but to me it seems he gambles on shots before the ball is struck. Teams have spotted what he struggles with.

I appreciate we give him far too much to do, but if we were going to set up this way defensively then we may as well have kept de gea or signed a keeper who’s more of a classic shot stopper.

06 May 2024 23:11:16
Ten Hag: "This is the fourth defeat in this calendar year, so that's not a lot and every time, we had huge problems. "

I'm not sure what to say on that.

07 May 2024 05:06:31
What do you want him to say Tim? We had no centrebacks. appartently evans failed a late fitness test and still played - sacrificing himself. Cas was terrible, but playing at CB. Wan bissska awful, but at leftback.

Onana was woeful tonight, and ten hag pushed for him. He was very good last year, been poor this while season.

If you didn't think we could lose tonight then you haven't paid CP enough respect recently. Check their results against good sides. They can defend well, and very dangerous on the break.

Just need this season to end and hopefully some of theee players leave and fresh ideas and effort shows up next year.

07 May 2024 06:55:30
It's not just CP Dodgy, at this stage any team can really score 4 or more goals against us. We are really this poor.

07 May 2024 07:18:43
I’m not sure Tim, you said yourself that you weren’t expecting anything. That’s sensible given the selection of players available for an away trip to a side playing really well.

My main disappointment is the scoreline, we shouldn’t be shipping 4 regardless of who plays. But when you look at Casemiro you can understand why. He’s gone from hero to zero in 12 months. That flop he did for the first goal was an embarrassment. What was he doing?

Evans shouldn’t get a free pass either for that poor attempt of a tackle on Mateta.

Wan Bissaka. I’ve made my thoughts on him clear enough. Nothing personal against the lad. He is a very poor footballer who can’t play right back let alone left back. He has zero technique and is very poor positionally, constantly playing people onside or getting caught out of position. Another head scratcher from the scouts.

07 May 2024 09:04:49
Wazza, it’s the total lack of desire and commitment that annoys me. Also surely we can set up in some way to at least be competitive?! Injuries are bad but surely there’s more can be done by the coaching staff and especially the players.

07 May 2024 10:52:42
Wazza eth played 9 of his signings / players he promoted last night. We played 2 players out of position. This is eth's team the players he brought in.

06 May 2024 22:26:12
Could EtH have picked a better team from those available? Could he have done anything tactical for that team to play better?
It’s a bloody mess but surely it all can’t be down to just the manager?
An eleven year low point - and no chance of top 7 now….

07 May 2024 07:44:41
Not often I would agree with Jamie Carragher but we appear to be one of the worst coached teams in the league. The first goal was a picture of how not to set up, how not to get behind the ball. How have we had so many training injuries? When we were getting training injuries and at a key point of the season our CB in tatters ETH doesn’t take care of them and we get more injuries. Accountability doesn’t go away.

06 May 2024 22:01:05
As bad as it gets, you can add Mount to list to go too, the only players who are trying are Garnacho, Mainoo and Dalot Ralf was so right when he said open heart surgery, the entire spine of the team needs replacing. Hopefully Sir Jim can help us.

06 May 2024 22:40:19
Yes, Jose, Ralf, EtH have all said the squad needs an overhaul, which is in the process of happening.
Finally the board are actioning the calls for the overhaul.

06 May 2024 23:14:32
What do you mean ralf was right. Eth brought 9 of those starting tonight into the teM.
Only t he 2 full backs were not eth players.
This is not a case of the same players throwing a manager under the bus these were all eth signing or players who came from our academy.

Stop this nonsense of its the same old players. Its not this was full of eths hand picks.

07 May 2024 06:51:47
That wasn't what I was referring to, but you go and jump in there champ.

They referred to the whole setup needing a change, just so that your next reply is aligned to actual topic.

07 May 2024 07:29:32
Ken do you think ETH’s first choice was Johnny Evans?
