How long will Ten Hag last at United?

[BongoBlue]

You would think that in his second year, he would have his team playing in a certain way. Employing his philosophy, so to speak.
They have no fucking plan or style of play, do they? They are just a collection of players just playing off the cuff. And not doing it very well. (As they really have no imagination anyway...)

As currently constituted, they are pretty fucked.

I think if I’m being very generous, GPC’s teams were successful in greater part due to their winning mentality and the way he man-managed them rather than for any particularly sophisticated tactical innovations.

I’m not saying he wasn’t good tactically, but he’s not the kind of manager that teaches systems and processes to his players. He just told them to do a job and they did it. This has bred a set of managers that have a lot of experience of winning things but they have no greater technical insight than any other player-turned-manager

The likes of Cruyff and Pep have created so many brilliant coaches because they expect their players to know the whole plan every bit as much as they do. They demand their players understand every position on the pitch and how it all fits together. The reason we can play exactly the same way even when Pep is in hospital is because he puts 11 managers on the pitch every week.

Not to mention his bullying of referees.

United have to think long-term. Give Ten Haag a few years to establish a club philosophy and then promote his apprentice Steve McLaren to continue his good work.

UMS have 10 more years at least to make this happen.

Their next 3 league fixtures are:

Fulham (a)
Luton (h)
Everton (a)

They will sneak a couple wins and everything will be rosy again. But we all know it'll be papering over the chasm.

Carrick<>Shrek dream ticket.

You jest, but that’s exactly the kind of thing they would actually do.

The knives are out for Tenth place next week Haag

Give it to Giggsey 'till the end of the season.

They will beat Luton that’s for sure, the other two games are tricky, lose all 3 and he’s out the door, to me it’s not a matter of if it’s when, he is out of his depth in the PL
