They're flattered by their current league position due to some late goals in very poor performances. On the down side, he has a very poor squad that can't play the type of possession football that he wants to play. He'll do well to finish top 6 with those players, assuming he lasts the season. I do agree with your post but have some additional info to add on....isn't he the one who selected the new squad.... he's so smart that he fired a guy that was scoring 30-40 goals per season he just hired a guy (Hojlund) that hasn't proven anything besides being good at running (555), Rashford 0 goals in 15 matches, good goal keeper De Gea replaced with a guy (didn't prove anything at Inter either) that he had at Ajax, same with Anthony, Martinez, Mount that was let go by Chelsea because he was sooooo good, same with Reguillon from Spurs Maguire brought back to starting until he starts to screw up again (very soon 555) Evans brought back from retirement and he's doing not to bad... will stop here 555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting rid of De Gea on a free and then spending 50 million on Onana seems silly. De Gea is a much better shot stopper and Onana's skills with the ball cannot be utilized with a back 4 that can't receive the ball confidently. Buying Mount and leaving him on the bench. Always playing Rashford even when out of form etc. He's made mistakes, but I guess my point is that changing the manager won't change much. Mourinho, Van Gaal, Rangnick, Ten Hag can't all be bad managers (Ole was). My gut feeling is Ten Hag regrets taking the job now. I wouldn't be surprised if he starts making calls out of leftfield to get the sack. Last night he made some weird decisions in the game that contributed to a 4-3 loss from 2-0 up (albeit with 10 men). I'm not saying it was deliberate, but he has an air of desperation about him now and I think he'd be relieved to go. He can see they are miles off and I don't think he has it in him to turn it around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mourinho has a strong personality and speaks the truth face to face, no BS, management people at MU didn't like it, they didn't let him do as he wanted/needed, thus better let him go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyF Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Awful against Newcastle, could have been 5-0. Interesting to see how they do against Chowsea. They seem to be improving under The Pochmeister. Ten Hag is getting a bit eggy banning critics from the press conference.
