Anger and Injustice

#762 Victory over Brentford and, in the second half at least, a decent performance from United. But once again Erik ten Hag's tactics come under question. Did it really take a sense of injustice to inspire this team, or did the manager make an important half-time adjustment? Ed and Dan discuss and then look ahead to United's trip to Turkey in the Europa League.

Thanks guys, a great watch/listen as ever. You are totally right about MGB, can't stand the guy.

They weren’t ’very different halves’-the first 15-20 were very different from the rest of the match. Brentford’s goal was entirely against the run of play. Brentford were good in the first 15 but united dominated afterwards and should’ve finished more chances earlier.

Damned if one does damned if one doesn't, no matter what and how the team does under a manager. The thing is, people make their minds over managers not on the basis of actual match to match decisions and long term planning they execute, but in the soft skills around it they use to sell themselves, no matter how mediocre they are- the narrative builders, and for that reason, for once, I am in a better mental space now knowing that people who will be making decision on the appointment of managers in the club won't be people who get influenced easily by this and have no clue about actually how a manager should work.

Elvir Bolic was the Fenerbache striker!

Indeed!

I mean let’s face it… we should be beating Brentford at home. Given our start however, we needed the 3 points in any way necessary. Onwards to the next game.

5:50 tbf we only just entered the top half of the table 😅

I’m sure I watched a 15 minute video of the less dorky one saying we were going to lose the other day because of ‘data’ and ‘trends’

Football is unpredictable. Shock, horror. Move on.
