Ahh so he is finally at the "acceptance" stage
the united job is proven to drive a man insane
Will we ever play in a certain way Eric? Because right now it just looks like yoloball

And he says it's specifically cause of the players we have.
You can't play Ajax football with Fernandes, Casemiro, Rashford, McTominay, Wan Bissaka, Maguire. Could go on. Cause we've Frankensteined a squad of mainly 2 different counter attacking managers, Mourinho and Ole.
What is causing the issue is that he's brought in some 'Ajax' players to play alongside the others, so we're playing some fucked up in-between which isn't giving the best of either, and actually showing the worst in both.
He has to take blame, but the board above him do too, why is there nobody above him saying we now have a squad filled with players who want to be on the ball and also several players who treat the ball like a grenade?

But looking at the United squad right now, who are actually players you'd expect to see at an Ajax side? Martinez and Eriksen. Not so much anyone else. Even Antony isn't the kind of player to really set the playstyle at a club like Ajax, even if he did well there.
Ten Hag should be blamed for his mistakes, but I wouldn't say this is a squad in between the old counter attacking style and the "Ajax" style. This is an unfinished squad, with simply a lot of poor players and unfit players. I would blame Ten Hag for having a front three of Rashford, Hojlund and Antony. Because it is a very expensive lineup, that doesn't really make sense together and isn't all that great individually either. But he's also trying to make it work with what was already in the squad and a lot of the players just aren't up for it.
I would have said fair enough but watching what Ange has done at Spurs in 10 games when our team was built for counterattacking under Mourinho and Conteball. Sure we brought in a few players but he’s had a single window and we look much more coherent than what’s going on with y’all.
You guys have some amazing players shackled by Conte and Mourinho. We've been let down by some of these players for several managers across multiple years, and some of them are still getting the chance.
We can get a lot better than we currently are. Struggle to get worse, especially given the injuries. Everyone seems low on confidence.

What’s he on about, united are playing exactly like a team that’s bottom of their respective league /s
Even if we sack him then what? We hire another guy, honeymoon period until next season then rinse and repeat. There’s no structure behind the manager, it’s like being an accountant and not being able to use excel or accounting software.
Some of these players will be on their FIFTH manager if we sack him. A couple will be on their fourth and a whole lot will be on their third. That’s unheard of anywhere else in football. For me, sacking him is not the solution
So what is the solution? To stick with an underperforming manager?
We’re all pissed cuz City beat us but we all knew they would. Look at our defense and tell me you thought the likes of Maguire, Evans, Lindelof, and Dalot we’re going to keep City quiet.
A lot of comments on ETH spending 400mil on his team to play like this but it’s literally a youngster in hojlund, amrabat, onana, and evans. We’re still missing 300mil of players that he signed
Is it possible he goes? Thought he seemed rattled after the match.
Ten hag will play the football that the current ajax is playing
Well it looked half way there yesterday
Don't forget to blame Ronaldo for being too old and slow to not play Ajax football, and Mourinho for being too defensive unlike Ajax.
Picture of Ajax and picture of ManU.
Insert
They are the same.
😊
It's obviously the Glazers fault.
Am I crazy in thinking that as long as Man United's best players are Bruno & Rashford who I feel like are very good direct players then it makes sense to play direct?
Looks like he’s trying to play like the Ajax of this season. Bald move.
It’s unusual for a manager not to have a style of play they’d try to implement wherever they manage. Most managers you know what type of football you’d be getting but Ten Hag just seems to be making it up as he goes along.
That isn't unusual at all lol. Every manager that doesn't have a state supporting him does that. He explains why in the article. Pressing high and building up from the back requires a certain type of players and those are either out injured or don't have the legs anymore to do that in the PL. You have to use players to their strenghts. If he would have played a high line/ high press system and Maguire and Evans would have been caught out everyone would have blamed him for not playing a low block.

He’s out of his depth and wasn’t ready for the PL in all honesty
What does it have anything to do with the PL? He literally finished 3rd last season? It's more just terrible job selection from him. Put De Zerbi or Emery or whatever flavour of the month manager in Ten Hag's spot and they wouldn't do much better
