We United fans see the issues at the club, and that they are far deeper than what any manager can change. No matter if its Ten Hag or Jurgen Klopp, you put them in this mess of a situation, and they will struggle. The causal take that we dont have a style of play is factually incorrect, you dont finish 3rd in the premier league by accident.
Sorry Tassie but if Liverpool had 5 of their first 7 defenders out injured for essentially the first 8 games of the season, as well as their two midfield signings and their striker for the first 5-6 games, you would be defending Klopp too. As you rightly did last season and 2021.
We have only had Holjund for 3 1/2 games now, Mount has been back for 1 1/2 games and Amrabat for 2 games. And then youve got our defensive issues.
Who knows if potentially a few of those players were available, maybe that last second loss to Arsenal becomes a win, we probably dont concede 4 and loss 4-3 to Bayern, and we definitely dont loss todays match if we had a fit left back. Or the 5 disallowed goals weve had this season, its a game of inches, 1 or 2 of those go in and suddenly our win/loss ratio changes dramatically.
And I still havent mentioned losing both Antony and Sancho at the same time.
Every other manager in the football gets a pass for that. Especially considering we had a good season last year.
Come on man.
People defended Klopp because he has shown he was a good manager. What has Ten Haag done?
Losing both Anthony and Sancho at the same time. You talk about it like they had unfortunate injuries. Both were through terrible mishandling by the club and manager. It's hardly an excuse!
You're a smart man who knows his footy but you've really got to take your Man U coloured glasses off now and again. Game of inches. Yeah. Again. The games that you got results in you were lucky through the refs supporting you.
Last season was good? Nah. You overachieved and looked good because the rest was shit. You got 7 goals put past you by a shit Liverpool side. 6 by City.
What is your style? How are we seeing it this season? Injuries or not, you'll still see it. Oh counter attack at Old Trafford. Yeah. I forgot.
Too many excuses mate. Not saying you won't improve, hard not to, but you're again looking at having to spend a shitload mode. GK is dreadful. Another CB at least. LB. RB. CM. Winger. Another striker.
You're no closer than you were 5 years ago but the excuses are the same. I don't get it?
I mean. All of you ranted on about Onana and how good he was previously, but never took the time to see the mistakes he's making at United are the same mistakes he was making previously. He's always had these brainfarts in him. But the United supporter delusion continues.
I'm honestly waiting for you to turn it around as I've always thought you would, but with each game comes another step back.
