Nobody Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 What the fuck is Varane doing for the first goal? Surely such an experienced defender knows he had to get back and help Dalot out there, but no he just stands there and watches it play out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onana has been terrible, and it's been further compounded by what's going on in front of him. He must miss the likes of Bastoni, de Vrij and Skrinniar badly. The luxury of having those three at centre back ahead of him is gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man you’ve been on this board long enough all through the Ashley years. You should be able to sniff out false dawns easily. The Glazers make too much from the club, or potentially having it as an asset to get cheap credit on from other ventures. I’d be shocked if they sold.

Sancho, Ronaldo, or Maguire at Man United and Fraser at Newcastle United aren't even the same thing. of course, the club kept in in house. Nobody gives a f*** about Ryan Fraser except Ryan Fraser. Like most non-"United" fans, I 'm sick of the constant media attention they get. But they do get it. What paper or website is going to waste their time writing about Ryan Fraser forced to play with the reserves? edit But yeah, Eddie and the club handled it well. Also, he does well to avoid inventing problems like Gerrard did when he stripped the captaincy from Tyrone Mings.

He has to drop Rashford and stop playing Bruno on the right. That's the two major criticisms at the minute. I'd add lumbering you with Onana. That's going to be a huge problem, and a lot folk saw it coming a mile away. He's the opposite of calm and always was, plus a funny character in the dressing room. Then there's Antony, which was obviously a ridiculous overpayment and needed more due diligence. I'm not sure he did handle Sancho well, unless 'well' is that you now have an €85m asset sitting doing fuck all and causing a bit of a scene. I do like Ten Hag but, at this level, get a few things wrong in a row and you'll get eaten alive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhog63 Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 8 hours ago, Froggy said: Because he's had to deal with 15 different injuries/suspensions already so far this season. Add in the absolutely horrendous individual mistakes from Onana and the shit going on within the club in regards to the sale and I genuinely feel for Ten Hag. He's handled the Ronaldo and Sancho situations well. He did a brilliant job last season given the injuries and the amount of games we had to play. Won us our first trophy in years and got us back into the CL. He has a lot more time for me, but the noise will start to get louder the longer this keeps up. He has to drop Rashford and stop playing Bruno on the right. That's the two major criticisms at the minute. Rashford's Manure fan's whipping boy. He should fuck them off, like Gordon did the Blue Makems, and come play for Mr Howe. Moaning, entitled wankers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like Ten Hag but, at this level, get a few things wrong in a row and you'll get eaten alive. You could well be right. I don't know enough about Onana personally to say that he could be a hindrance in the dressing room, but the errors he has made so far have been shocking. Probably more than De Gea over the last two seasons combined. It's especially hard for fans because we absolutely adored De Gea but he was causing issues at the back and the manager was trusted with a new keeper to improve the style of play. Antony I do think can be a serviceable player for us but a huge overpay as you say. I 100% back him with Sancho though. I don't care how much a player cost or how much he's worth. If their attitude stinks I'd prefer the manager to deal with them. In my eyes Sancho is destroying himself. He was given time off to sort his head out when we really needed him, and still came back with poor commitment. He'll be gone in January and won't be missed by anyone, which is a massive disappointment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Zaius Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Almost a home game for Gala. You'd be absolutely fuming if you were a Man Utd fan like. Absolute state of their club at the minute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leffe186 Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Yeah, I do think that people are forgetting how De Gea was playing and how low his confidence was. Still, just look at the keepers bought in the off season. Onana £44M, Sanchez £25M, Vicario £16M, Verbruggen £16M, Henderson £15M. It’s looking a bit silly.

gbandit Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Glazers must have learnt a decent amount from Ashley. I think if Ten Hag picks up another two losses in his next three games: Brentford, Sheff Utd and Copenhagen then he could well be booted. Even a draw against Sheff Utd and a loss from one of the other games and the pressure is going to be enormous. Maybe not from diehard fans as their main issue will be with the Glazers but from the media, other fans and fair weather Man U fans it’ll be very grim. Saying that though, if they do get sold I think there’ll be a huge bounce that has nothing to do with Ten Hag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 I didn't think Gala were all that good, and I was expecting Man U to get on top and register something like 4-0. Poor defensive organisation let them down. It's tempting to pile in on Ten Haag, but there's a whole string of good managers - esp Mourinho, Van Haal - who have come a cropper there. They have the players but they need to build a settled side. That takes a bit of time, but there's so much pressure in that job, that they end up going round in circles.

TBG Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 They continue to support the team. They continue to turn up to games. They continue to spend their hard earned cash, yer it's absolutely embarrassing. Got to feel for the Glazers for what's happening to their club.

gbandit Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Ipswich itself is a shithole but Suffolk as a county is incredibly nice, especially near the coast. My in-laws live in Snape so it would be nice to see them promoted. Feels like a lifetime ago they were last in the premier league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
