Why Man United's Biggest Problem Is Erik Ten Hag
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 апр 2024
- Manchester United were a toenail away from arguably the most humiliating defeat in FA Cup history. But despite the manager's assertions that their victory should be celebrated, Coventry City showed four times precisely what is wrong with Erik Ten Hag's management... and why he'll not be able to fix it. FourFourTwo's Adam Clery unpacks the match as a whole, and says it might be time for the Dutchman to move on.

To confuse your enemy you must confuse yourself first.

I thought his name was Moon?!? 🤣🤣 (Brilliant post BTW)
😮Hag seems to achieve the first part
This is one of the funniest comments I’ve ever read on RUclips. 😂 Thank you. 👍
That Bruno hojlund clip sums it up
genuinely looked like a clip pulled from FIFA/EA Football or whatever the fuck it's called these days
Are we really having a go at a no9 not knowing how to defend on the wing?
@@TmcksnT there's a difference in "not knowing" and players not even following their own instructions after communicating though. no one expects Rasmus to be a top-tier defender at the back, but the fact that Bruno pointed and told Rasmus to defend the man in front of him, only for them to both commit to the ball as soon as it's passed off is...comical. There has to to be some baseline when it comes to defending. Defending is done as a team, up and down every table in every league. If you can't or don't defend as a team, you ship goals. It's not the sole responsibility of the defenders to protect the goal.
@@th3doorMatt I know I'm just saying I'm not surprised to see he was confused or seemed uncultured in that moment. It's like having a go at Maguire for not finishing a one on one.
They were in sync for some seconds too😂@@th3doorMatt
Best football tactics show there is out there and I don’t mean just on RUclips.
Adam is the goat for real
Are you mad, it's SO basic. Just a load of slo motion hindsight and pointing out that we arent in a low block.
@@samuelford ikr, football tactic videos fail to acknowledge the actual speed the game is played at. Lots of slow motion and STILL IMAGES.
@@docgraal485 'if a player was standing here and not there then xyz wouldnt happen' the basis of 99 percent of "tactical" hipster videos. It's like watching someone say to a bricklayer, just lay more bricks and the house will be bigger, everyone likes a bigger house!'
tifo better
Don't let mark goldbridge see this 😂
I don’t think he likes “hipsters” questioning his dear king 😂
Who cares about his agenda driven shite channel
I will send it too him lmfao
Mark isnt for ETH. he is against the players. even changing managers wont change the shiit
@@kukunase1686exactly bro, I’m against the players too have been for years now
INEOS should give him lifetime extension
trust the process
They will and ten hag will do well again and you lot will cry again
As a Liverpool fan I have faith in ETH.
with no possibility of parole.
I still can't discern if it's ten Hag being poor tactically or the players having zero tactical intelligence. Most diplomatic answer will be somewhere in the middle. But I trust ten Hag is a tactically astute coach with his proven record at Ajax (people were drooling over his Ajax and often remarked that's how Man Utd should play). The players, well, they've proven record of frustrating 3 previous managers and 1 current manager.
Under ole we mentioned players most of this players had gone pogba and Co even martial not even playing, tactically ten hag is clueless, he can't adapt with premier league football, he is not creative enough.
Why not both?
@@saheedolawlewhat is “premier league football”? 😂 tactics are tactics and you need players to execute
Yup you summed it up very well
@@vidalgutierrez1736Can’t Agree with that becuase premier League is the most physically demanding league which means the football is faster, stronger and more intense. Great example is bringing Antony and Donny from Ajax and they can’t really handle the league, Antony doesn’t do much and gets pushed off the ball like a fly, Donny was just never involved in the game, even at Everton football was too fast.
Spanish league is less phsycial but it’s more creative passing and playstyle or at least in my opinion.
Last year we had the best defense in the league, you could say we overperformed in most departments. This year we could almost never field our 1st team from last year (at least at the back). Not to mention the reluctance of certain players to put in a shift. The manager was cooking something until he ran out of ingredients and until some of them decided to spontaneously rot prematurely. There's only so many things a manager can fix, think about it, we've been in this position at least two more times under different managers. Not even Mourinho survived it, what makes you think whoever we'll bring in next miraculously fixes everything? Players need to go way before the manager, and history has shown us that.
You know it's serious when it's Clery blaming a manager
Ten hag ball has always been like that. People are finding this now bc most of them only watched Ajax at ucl but it was the same there. The only difference was Ajax offence were very good and their technical floor was way higher than uniteds. This way they could control games and transition quickly plus the technicality.
ETH got given £400M to sign players to raise the technical floor and he absolutely wasted it. Signed Casie as FDJ type progressor, signed Mount as a creative mid when the guy barely has a creative bone in his body. Also refused to play Donny, sent Pellestri and Alvarez on loan who are all technical players. Fell out with Sancho too. The guy should just leave for his own peace of mind not mine.
@@iwantgoals1566 that's another topic my guy. Talking about his playstyle
@@iwantgoals1566lost ur point 4 words in, he doesn’t spend the money, he got some players he wanted, and most others have been 2nd choices, over payed and are injured
@@notorious3496 And I’m saying he didn’t buy the right players to support his play style bruh.
@@ethan8326 What part of “spent £400m” did you not understand?
Excellent analysis as always Adam, great watch
The weird thing to me is that last season Ten Hag turned Man U around and they got 3rd place and Champions League when all the pundits (and me) said it would take years to sort out the mess. Now that he has actually been able to bring in a few of his desired players, they are actually playing worse.
I simply don't understand how he seemed so clear-eyed and decisive last season and is floundering like this now. I can only imagine Casemiro had one phenomenal season left in his legs, and Ten Hag made full use of that. Because the system isn't very different than it was last. Also Rashford, whose drop off a cliff I do not understand -- in terms of goals and assists, he always alternates between good and bad in consecutive seasons, but he has always run his socks off. He is now the worst presser in the league probably.
@@souradeepsengupta95 Yes, it is strange isn't it. I've seen it suggested that his system with a high press needs a mobile back 4 and he hasn't got that without Martinez, leaving massive midfield gaps. Interesting point about Casemiro. It seems as if key players are missing and his preferred system doesn't work, he hasn't got a Plan B. With Rashford I wonder if he's simply fallen out of love with football. He sometimes gets the inspiration again - as for a period under Ten Hag - but then loses it. Snag is that talent isn't enough at the highest level, you need dedication too, and it doesn't feel as if the Man U atmosphere in recent years has encouraged this. That being said it's amazing how they have pulled out some late comebacks - but also late capitulations.
So what? Ole did the same, Mark Goldbridge said Ole should get a statue if he got top 4. He got 3rd and 2nd the first two seasons, where we thought it would take a decade to replace such a incompetent squad and atmosphere. + a bunch of semi finals and finals with a squad EVEN WORSE then this. With key players constantly injured, and players individually choking in key games to an extent never seen before in proffesional football. This is on Ten Hag, the only redeeming thing about his tenure is the easiest carabao cup run we have seen the last 20 years.
Sooooooooo over half his team being injured all season didn’t factor into this?
@@AshBashSneakers Plenty of other PL teams in the same boat with injuries. Man U of all teams should have the squad depth to cope! And Ten Hag's own signings have been available for much of the season but have been underwhelming. So I do feel he exceeded expectations last year but has disappointed this season.
What I can't understand is how the players on the field could not work it out themselves. Lack of leaders.
Spot on analysis as usual Adam. Seeing the same thing every game with complete stubbornness from ETH has been exhausting. I don't see how he can stick to his guns so consistently and see the things everyone can see, without doing or trying anything else. Its baffling, and it will unfortunately lose him his job eventually. I dont want an endless cycle of sacking managers but it isn't working.
Not a mu fan so I’m so wholeheartedly glad to see some MU fans still supporting him ☺️
Then you don't know what you're talking about.
Spot on analysis Adam. United fans are 50/50 on whether the issue is Ten Hag or the players. But when the players are instructed to vacate the midfield, it causes chaos and confusion! Also, he never changes tactics during games. Look at the Liverpool thrashing. Did nothing. Great vid as always Adam 🔥
He doesn’t instruct them to vacate the midfield that is a lazy misunderstanding.
If ETH has a fault, it is insisting on play his way with such a poor squad.
Yes - the issue is 50% players and 50% Ten Haag.
Ten Hag has no plan B. Look at how Ajax lost the semi final against Tottenham from a winning position. Frustrating to watch
Why doesn't he start his good players who he got like amrabat,mount,Antony to do it🤣even casemiro he got
Only idiots think Ten Hag isn't the major problem.
Ten hags chaos end to end football tactics in the premier League is crazy he could do that at Ajax because Ajax and PSV are miles ahead of all the other dutch teams but in the premier league playing with no midfield is madness.
What was the reason Ajax could do it in the CL under him?
@@smartalec18anonymous Because the CL is a cup competition that lasts only 6-13 games depending on how far you go while the premier League lasts 38 games to play like that over 38 games is not possible
@@sagethinker7168 but it worked against major teams in the CL
@@adamstannard7934 It's a bit of a myth when Ajax played Madrid they should of scored 20 goals over the 2 legs but missed so many easy chances and Ajax bottled a 2 goal lead against spurs before going out.
@@smartalec18anonymous For one season. Roberto di Matteo won CL with Chelsea. Where is he now.
Those defensive lines got me cracking up every time.....brilliant!!
This sort of content is what makes RUclips outstanding.
Absolutely love your work🎉
My first time watching. Finally a channel that tells it like it is. Not only Ten Hag but most of the players must be gone as well. Keep up the good work 👍
Been waiting for this video all weekend! **sips tea** Ah!
One thing that did strike me was the lack of shouting/instructions from the touchline, ETH just stood there with a glaze(r)d look in his eyes.
shouting would just confuse them even more. This team is so fucked.
@@TuNguyen-jp8ys Exactly these guys have failed with multiple managers, they are useless
You toxic fans said the same things for 10 years straight lmao
@@vaughan1379 I am a city fan and even I thought ETH simply gave up at that game. He doesn't belong in such a massive club. He has to go.
@@tonmoybaidya2743 Ah yes just like Fergies first 5 years at UTD where he was so bad and clueless too but he was given time and look what happened.
I find it mind bending that these are ETH’s deliberate tactics when it’s been clear all season (from opening game v Wolves) they don’t work. What is going on in his head??
Long term vs short term thinking. This is how he wants to play, but he needs better players. But he doesn't have another season to transition, so he's implementing it now.
Oh also great video as always
This is the first football strategy video i understood to some extent. Thank you.
Excellent analysis as always. Countdown cutaway 😂😂
Ill stand by the fact that Chelsea have been better than United all season. Would genuinly be top 4 with a quality finisher. United have been shit in every game I've watched and STILL have negative goal difference
I was at Sheffield united v Chelsea and Jackson is just awful. There's 10 other strikers in the league who would have scored but he's clearly got no confidence. If Nkunku was fit all season they'd be so much better
It’s crazy to think they actually have a 100m striker they just loaned him out so now they can’t even buy an expensive/world class striker lmao
@@emilevangheem6165lukaku destroyed every bridge possible at chelsea, they cant use him anymore without a weird atmosphere looming over everyone
@@gsampson97 the thing about Jackson is that he can suddenly turn it on and be really good every now and then. Same with Mudryk. A pity the rest of the time they are absolute shite.
@@duyanhng8430 of course but it shows you how bad things are at chelsea
Brilliant analysis again mate! Seeing it put the way you have there's only one option. Laters ETH👋😅
Changing the Manager does nothing. It has been this way for years. Let ETH see out his final year on his contract and go from there. The players are to blame as much as the Manager. The whole team needs to be gutted.
His tactics baffle me.
@@ketainooson2884 I agree, but it’s hard to know how much the player influence a breakdown of his tactics.
Closing down your opponents is essential to the high intensity football ETH wants to play. But closing down players for Manchester United seems to be a huge issue. One of the most simple things in football. Rashford being an example
Changing the manager for a new one who provides clarity and excellent advice absolutely can change things around. Mind you, I don't want Utd anywhere near one of them ))
He’s been doing everything himself for almost 18 months and already won a trophy as well as getting into his 3rd final. Arteta started with back-to-back 8th place finishes. I think he deserves till Jan under INEOS
You really just congratulated ten Hag for winning the League Cup and compared that favourably against Arteta, who won the FA Cup in his first season.
@@Ohfishyfishyfish
Arteta: 2 8th place finishes and an FA Cup with full backing of Edu
Ten Hag: 3rd & 8th place finish and a League Cup with the worst owners in the history of the EPL
Hmmm
Ah yes, the Manchester United RW known as "Garncho". Sounds like a pokemon
Good analysis
Love this video. So insightful. Can you please do an analysis of what has changed between last year and this year? I don’t understand why it is so s@@t now
There is a mismatch between what the manager wants and what the available players are capable of
Spot on Adam. Been saying it for a while. Doesn’t give the players a free pass either but I think Erik has become a larger concern over time
I very much enjoyed your presentation, to my surprise (don't usually like match analysis).
Give him a 10 year contract
😂😂😂
Great video. Really helpful explanation of Coventry changes & good to point out that players not knowing where they should be is the responsibility of the manager.
I think you’re very unfair to Casemiro and Eriksen at 11.07 in the video though. You say they’re not doing anything but they clearly are, esp. Eriksen. Eriksen has just won the header, goes to chase the ball, sees Dalot going to the ball ahead of him so starts to run to Dalot’s previous man and then when the Coventry player gets around Dalot, he stops where he is to be a block to the player who is now on the ball moving towards goal.
And if Casemiro wasn’t standing where he is, there would just be loads of open space in front of United’s goal.
By the way, you can see in your own video (10.39-10.42) that Eriksen wins the header and starts to chase the ball and in your own video (11.02-11.05) that Eriksen sees Dalot is going to get to the ball ahead of him,moves to cover for Dalot and then stops when the Coventry player gets around Dalot.
I just found it odd that you went so hard in your criticism of those two players for that moment when (a) I think you’re wrong; (b) you’re clear elsewhere in the video that players not knowing where to be in this defensive set-up is the manager’s fault; and (c) these two players are already getting tons of over the top criticism after this match.
Class video, as a united fan the football and been difficult to watch to say the least. Would be cool to see what similarities, if any, exist between their current style and the final days of Solskjaer's reign. There's been a lot of chat on whether this is ETH's doing or the consistent thread of the players being absolute rockets.
Bro that united make me laugh every time a watch their game 😅😂
Do you not think the 60+ injuries matter though? If they had Varane and Martinez then the defence don’t have to play so deep. Glazer’s inability to be smart in the transfer window has hamstrung him.
An example would be them being offered Antony for 40m in June but deciding to wait till the end of august and panic buying him for 90m. How is it possible for any coach to succeed under this incompetence. INEOS are professionals, he deserves some time under them.
The thing for me is. This "problem" isn't explicit to Ten Hag. We have seen this with other managers. I think the problem runs a lot deeper.
No we haven’t mate, we’ve never had this many losses this few points, this bad of a ucl campaign and this bad of a style of play under any other manager in the premier league era
@@Musakhan23901 He's got the highest win percentage
@@thesunshinehome and also the highest loss percentage, our worst points tally in the premier league era, the worst ever champions league performance by an English team, 7-0 loss to biggest rivals, no style of play, conceded 20 shots a game
@Musakhan23901 the style of play is clear. The players he has to work with can't execute.
Half the starters are injured and the other half can't be bothered to put I'm a shift (ex. Rashford). ETH had a great season last year coming from where they were. There's growing pains right now. Mfs are so impatient they think years of shit can be reversed immediately in a season with a new manager and new style.
@@jdill2225 no it isn’t, you just don’t understand ball mate, maybe try switching to a more simplistic sport like basketball or something
Love the Countdown clock soundtrack!
Yeah, sack another manager. Repeat it again and again. Sir Alex is considered the best manager in the premier league. We would think Sir Alex had dominated right when he came in, but no, Sir Alex finished 11th twice and was at the brink of getting sacked. They didn't. Look what happened then. I'm not saying never to sack managers, back come on now, if United is that bad, they still have reached 3 finals in 2 years. And have had a trophy. You guys are acting like United have young energetic players who can run on and on. United literally had 8 of their players over 25 playing. How is Erik supposed to do anything else. The team doesn't need coaching to beat Coventry. We had player to player better players. But these players who supposedly have experience don't do anything and stand there. How is any manager supposed to coach a team like this?
You can't compare Fergie's early days. Much different era, much more patient and much less money circulated around Football.
As for this season, so much open space and the players look confused as to who's supposed to deal with what threat.
Meanwhile.... Sancho is in a champions league final and Ronaldo is thriving. Yeah... classic fraud with grandiose delusions.
I was only able to see the highlights so maybe I'm missing something but how the heck was that last goal offsides
Someone send this to Goldbridge.😅
1:23 Good heavens...I haven't seen a subbuteo pitch for 40+ years.
Loved that game as a kid and teen.
I've been saying it for ages. None of Ten Hag's men really know what they should be doing in the 'system' they are playing. That's partially on the players, but mostly on the manager. It's his job to make sure they have a clear idea of their role and their responsibilities, and if that needs tweaking like stopping players from exploiting space, then the manager needs to effectively communicate that. He's just not a good manager.
It is not Ten Hag's fault AT ALL he doesn't not have to do anything with the results. Its the players that lack synergy and communication between each other causing this many problems the players have to work together and communicate clearly with each other. This is a good analysis of the game, but you need to use the average results and successful games instead of disasters. If the players get it together and work together on the pitch by communicating clearly they would be able return to where they are. Im not a man utd fan but I understand the frustrations you fans have, but you HAVE to trust Ten Hag.
Okay, let's list the games Ten Hagg's tactics have thrown away this season
Arsenal: 1-0 to 3-1
Tottenham: 1-0 and 2-1 to 2-2
Nottingham 1-1 to 2-1
Fulham: 1-1 to 2-1
Liverpool: 2-1 to 2-2
Wolves 3-1 to 3-3 back to 3-4 because of Mainoo
Galatasaray: 2-0 and 3-1 to 3-3 AND 2-1 to 2-3
Copenhagen: 3-2 to 4-3
Coventry: 3-0 to 3-3
Brentford: 1-0 to 1-1
Every single game listed above had United leading/drawing in the 80+ minute before conceding
City: 1-0 to 3-1
Newport: 2-0 to 2-2 back to 4-2
West Ham: 0-0 to 2-0
These games, we had the advantage at halftime before giving away the lead
The only games we've won late into the game due to these "tactics" are the following (no Wolves does not count):
Nottingham: 2-0 down after 4 minutes to win 3-2
Brentford: 2-1 in the 90+ minute
Villa: 3-2
It doesn't work, and if Ten Hagg can't see that he should be sacked.
If United had seen out HALF of the Premier League games (20 points dropped), we would be level on points with Tottenham and 3 points off of Villa in 4th.
We would have made it through in the UCL or faced Sparta Prague in the Europa League.
If United had seen out every single one of these results (unlikely but this is a hypothetical), we would be on 70 points, Arsenal would be on 71, City would be on 70, and Liverpool would be on 73
6 points off Villa with 2 games in hand**
Love the analysis, gamewise it is spot on.
What somewhat isn't said is what did you expect ten hag to do?
You mentioned that they need to control more games, that's exactly why erkisen has been subbed on. (He could have come on 10 min earlier)
Don't you expect the experience of Maguire, Casemiro, Erisksen and Bruno to kill the game at that point.
This video seems to insist that Ten Hag keeps telling his players to play this chaotic way even with a 3-0 lead.
The only reason he would do that is because the players are incapable of doing that even against an 'on paper' easier opponent.
So how can you blame the incapacity/inmaturity of his available players on him?
At this point one has to wonder, has anyone even checked if ETH actually completed his badges 🤷🏽♂️😂
I dont think ETH wouldn't have been telling them to be more structured or compact... I just think there aren't any leaders on the field that call out instructions or manage the game. Like Telling Arron to get back etc. Players being in random position isn't something a coach would be telling them. Its things like McTominay don't doing his defensive work, AWB not being aware or calling for cover when he needs it from Rashy... And Rashy just doing what he wants and no defensive work.
There's literally zero reasons to watch this FA cup final.
How shit this competition has gotten.
“stress wee” 😂
Please take this video down till after the season is over. We still have to play them.
Did't notice jacket till alan points it out 😂
Adam giving out strong Jon richardson vibes during the countdown thing!
He didn't have the players available that he had last season and that means his team can't keep a 3-0 lead against a championship side. Sure, they were unlucky with AWB's touches twice, but if they had been more compact that wouldn't have happened. You can do that even with Eriksen and Antony as holding midfielders(McTominay could do it last season but now he's a shadow AMC). I wanted to believe in Ten Hag but the lack of tactical directions and adjustments in this game shows that he can only manage when he has the best players available because they manage it for him(Like Varane, Martinez and Shaw).
McTomminay never knows where to be in his own half when United are in and out of posession. His best attribute is his ability to be a threat in the final third. But that is because he was a youth team striker. The wide attackers always look to shoot, so there is no threat as everyone knows where they are going and what they are going to do.
That bit with the countdown music and background had me dead on the floor with laughter and im an arsenal fan by the way
There were really few options for subs, but still when you consider the left side problem, taking Rash out and sending Garnacho there would probably allow AWB to stay back and would do more than just swapping Garnacho for Anthony. Also why not take off Bruno for Erikssen and send Mctominay up, lowers the quality but actually leaves 2 CM that stay back. Watching them nearly bottle the game was quite entertaining though
Love the content mate but the video production quality needs an update…
I'm an arsenal fan, they should absolutely keep Erik ten hag, genius.
hahaha I've been waiting for this post
Depressing but accurate analysis
Thank you for noticing Cov made substitutions that changed the game
To me the biggest crime is there is no learning. This has been happening all season. Every other manager in the league knows that they will have space in front of the defence. Even Burnley go to Man Utd and get 15 shots. It is so obvious and he still does not fix it. How many chances have to be given away to realise there may be a problem to be fixed.
You are absolutely right about the complete lack of control. People talk about Man Utd being inconsistent. But they are very consistent in leaving gaps and not controlling games at all.
Man United's defensive and set piece coaches have been stealing a living for years. Lots of injured defenders this year but a team full of internationals should still be able to see out a game when 3-0 up after 70 mins. It's going to be an interesting summer.
Totally agree it’s shocking. I do think players are just not capable of playing the way ETH wants to which means other players are trying to cover the missing ground.
We need quick CB’s to move the back line up. We need a CDM or 2 with legs. Also some players who can keep possession. Then I’ll be judging him and not the players.
This man u season has been goals galore
Their GD is has ever-1 and no team conceided so many shots on goal..... please stay ETH!!
The Brazilian is too slow for any position and Eriksson should never be playing as a defensive cm. Erikson was one of the most influential attacking players in world footy, then he had a heart attack. Not the ideal candidate to add legs to your midfield? The "open" system was great for Ajax when dominating a weak Dutch league . Unfortunately for utd they play in a competitive league.
my most said line as a united fan is "why are they THERE"
I have to agree -have thought so for several months. If a manager is to stay, he has to show signs of progress. Utd have regressed - and the tactical and collective failures have been absolutely glaring - with numerous analysts pointing it out. ETH has not been able to get a tune out of the side, we collapse very easily, we are too easy to play against, we are too easy to score against, we leave a massive gap in the middle of the park that opponents have exploited all season long, we cannot control games - this is all blindingly obvious. The manager has a major responsibility for all of the above -yes, there are of course other factors at the club. But would you build a long-term strategy round this coach on this evidence? The answer, to me, is obvious.
Great rundown. So frustrating being a United fan these days. I don't dislike ETH, for what its worth, but I do feel he lacks an alternate plan beyond "this is my way of playing" and because he lacks that plan, this monstrosity is what we're left with. Deep playmaker and a ball-winner as two options for the pivot in midfield, bring in someone like a Todibo or Branthwaite who can actually pass a ball, and finally sign a RW player (Sancho likes left, Antony doesn't possess braincells) and we'll start to click back to looking like a Ten Hag side of old - if he's still here ofc.
Personally I'd give him his final year. One chance to turn it around, no payout when contract ends, and time to allow more managerial candidates to be available. I think he can succeed, but I think he's really missed out by not having INEOS til now and the structure to allow him to spend his time developing his own skillset rather than being a jack of all trades.
Buenos dias, guutentag and areet wor kid is the best multilingual intro ive ever heard
I love seeing Man U continually press with 5-6 players only, with the entire defence way behind them, leaving loads of space for other teams to play through. I'm not sure how long it'll take before it stops being funny. Keep Ten Hag please :)
EtH is clueless. I've been saying it all season; but the fans love him to death.
Fans just fear the players not going, because a new manager will want to analyze them and not sell them the summer.
@@lexxihd5843 If the players are the problem, which players? the ones signed by Ten hag? the Ones signed by Jose? By Ragnick? By Ole?
@@jeanjacqueslundi3502 There is this myth, that a manager alone can sign good players. Without a good sporting structure above him im not surprised Ten Hags signings haven't worked out. Around 20 player at that club aren't good enough to win a title with modern attacking football.
They need two managers, Ten Hag for the attack, and Southgate for the defence 🤪
"I'm not Limmy" 😂😂😂
His tactics baffle me.
Here is the thing he prepared plan then nothing changes at games if we win we win if we lose we lose. He is not proper manager inside games like pep arteta inzagi or ancheloti. And this is from start of the season 2022
Indeed he has no plan B.
never knew Eriksen made football analysis vids
Bravo 👏🏻 very well said. Southgate in!!’
Should do the next one Poch
"Pack them little hats up and get walking" - exquisite
We all know it is Marcus Rashford but we can't blame just one player on this.
I think the biggest concern a lot of people have, is that if the manager goes again, the same group of players will be given yet another fresh start and a 'chance to prove themselves to the new manager'. And the vast majority of them don't deserve it. Maguire, Lindelof, AWB, McT, Martial, Rashford, Sancho will all get to stay when we all know you will never win the league with them.
The issue with this thought is that the spine of the squad is ten Hag's. The guy has been backed in the market and the output this season has been awful.
Football is not played in still images, you point out Casemiro and Eriksen did not pick up men but had they left their positions, the spaces that would have opened up would have been absolutley ridiculous. Whilst Man United are far from perfect, to say they don't know what they are doing is an unfair assessment. As if we did not have control of the game for 70 minutes
They lack the right players, it's not TenHag
He literally explained why it's a tactical problem
Read the caption ' why Man united's biggest problem is Ten Hag'
I hope the Utd board don't watch this channel because I really hope Ten Hag stays.
And also I don't think that is really eth grand plan fr I think he says it coz it's part of his own rules he implemented, he doesn't bad mouth the club or the players
nah mate let him try again next season (city fan)
@lqkpa.s And again the season after and the one after that, give the prick an extension 'til 2030
I was very frustrated as a cov fan that we started with a back 5 and showed utd so much respect, they've done nothing to deserve it. Also, first half, Bruno was man marking josh Eccles which was an insane to see from my perspective but it really impacted on our capacity to play into our forward players on the ground which is a feature of our play, direct passing on the ground
Totally, spot on
This was the game that made me turn on ETH, we are shocking in possession and that’s why we can’t control a game.
Can I ask you what you were seeing for the the last 12 months that kept you thinking he was decent?
Utd have been poor that entire time after winning the cup
Quite the opposite. You are shocking OUT of possession and thats why you can't control a game in possession united actually look half decent, its when they lose the ball and the defence and midfield has a gap the size of a small moon between it that the problems occur
@iwilltouchyourtoes I honestly think he's playing a system which is stuck between two worlds because he hasn't had a starting CB pairing all season. The CBs can't play high because they haven't got the pace so have to drop back creating space in the middle of the pitch. We concede a lot of space in front of the back four for low xg shots.
Sounds mad, but I want to see what we look like with pacey CBs.
This is as close as I've been to Ten Hag out though, and if Nagelsman was available, I would want him gone.
@@Paddythefriendlykiwi but ask urself, if the excuse is the players ability than WHY on earth insist on pressing high when u sit deep, u either commit to a high line with suboptimal personell or u leave it with the press. The fact he insists on this shambolic press which is bad enough as it is and then also sits deep creating even more problems is mind boggling
@beeftestosterone5519 I get it, and I absolutely ask myself the same thing. But he's not a fucking idiot either...I think. What he did at Ajax was super impressive. I think he's drilling the front five into playing a certain way so they're ready to hit the ground running next season perhaps. And he's prepared to play this way as an interim measure to do it. Otherwise, you'd order Mainoo and Casemiro to sit surely.
Loool the passion
Is that a Jayhawk in the background?
Thank you he should've played Ronaldo and he is not ready for this type of club. Ten Hag is built for Ajax. The biggest problem is he is supposed to implement style regardless of results but then he ends up trying to be a manager who trying to get results. Because of that reason he should be sacked but I am willing to say give him 1 more chance next season. After 2 chances and this continues next season a manager deserves the sack
How is none of this down to the players? He brought on Antony to get fresh legs on the right side that could track back and press and he added Eriksen to stay back and control the game with smart passes out of the midfield. AWB was gassed and left for dead by Rashford who could never be bothered to do any defensive work and McTominay floated around at the top of the pitch hoping to run onto something from Bruno. Bruno kept trying to find another goal with Hollywood balls and too many touches.
Yet all of that is 100% down to the manager? These are professionals playing at one of the biggest clubs in the world and they need to be coached on how to slow down play and make simple passes? If your backline is getting overrun and you're 3-0 or 3-1 up and you're too tired to get back on defense, drop back and help out instead of standing on their backline hoping to get the fourth goal. You don't need a manager, muchless an elite level manager better than ETH, to tell you that. They're footballers at what is supposed to be the top of their game. If this is the top of their game then I see 8 players on that pitch not fit to wear a United shirt. I think they know better and have the quality and it was a conscious choice to cruise and just hope that the full time whistle blow early. It was laziness mentally and physically and as much as a manager can and should address that after a game, he can't come on and slap McTominay awake or take the ball off of Rashford and Bruno when they both get the ball nicked off them fort he 10,000th time in 60 minutes. Its embarassing for the players but still we blame one guy on the sideline for bringing on 2 internationals to see out the game.
Ridiculous, click baity, muckraking video to name all the faults of those players and then say, but that's all 100% on the manager.
Shock. Offensive player heat map correlates with space left by opposing team.
Videos like these do numbers with new fans but theres nothing profound to see here.
And no, of course ten Hag isn't a bigger problem than 58 cumalative injuries or 15 years of structural decay by the Glazers.
