midds Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 1 hour ago, Kanji said: If you’re judging anything on the results right now w/r/t to us you’re mad. We’re 5-7 points off where we should be but we’ve hard the hardest run of fixtures I’ve seen for us in 10 matches. Our next turn will be tough too. So surely there will be an easier run when we’re back to full strength Don't think this should be underestimated either. I know the fixture list will eventually all even itself out and I'm not whinging but I'd argue we'll have played 23 matches from August to Dec 15th (15 PL, 6 CL & 2 LC) and I think only 4/5 of them could be considered 'easier' fixtures (Sheff U & Bournemouth away and Burnley & Palace home) every other game has been fairly/very difficult. The 8 Cup fixtures have all been against high quality teams and we've already played 8 of the other 12 teams in the current top 13. When the opposition is so consistently good then any rotation is likely to cost points. I'm not defending anything but the level of teams we've played hasn't led to us being able to rest bodies enough. As I say, I'm not moaning about it but difficult fixtures have to be considered - it will get easier but not for the next 6 weeks or so Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully their current plight will convince the owners to give Ten Hag some money to spend so he gets a fair crack, and doesn’t have to continue to operate on a shoestring.

Im still not sure what Ten Hags philosophy is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are top 6/7 and within 5-8 points of the Top 5 at the turn of the year, I would be pleased, given the way this season has aligned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im still not sure what Ten Hags philosophy is. Only if you're watching highlights and taking part in criticism without paying attention to our games. Very clear that Ten Hag's style is to push high up the pitch and press for middle and final third turnovers. We've been largely successful at that, but Rashford has been massively misfiring and having your entire defence and defensive midfielder injured means we've conceded far too many.

If Ten Hag was legitimately benching Varane for Evans and Maguire he'd be hounded out of the club. He loves Varane, and wanted Maguire gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, Sky Sports studio also said they have no idea what ManU are trying to do. And it has been over a year. You can't press with Maguire and Evans at cb.

Geogaddi Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Comparing Eddie to Ten Hag, look where we were when Eddie took over compared to where we are now then do the same with Ten Hag and Man United whilst also looking at the cost of each squad, it’s not even up for debate who the better manager is.
