They created nothing against Brighton, whilst they played through United at will. There only hope was to drag both us and Brighton to penalties and get a leveller from the ref at some point.
Ten Hag keeps trotting out that over the season they have won one less game than City, who did they win against though? Teams in a second rate European cup competition, and easy draws all the way to two domestic cup finals. The stuff he keeps coming out with shows how small time he is. He is no better than the previous manager.
Yep I agree
He's clinging onto anything to make it look like they're not miles behind us.
He finished 3rd in the league, not 2nd, so he should keep our name out of his mouth and worry about catching up second place first. They only just about finished above Newcastle. Come next season, they may not have the fortune of Liverpool and Chelsea having bad seasons.
Their points total was closer to villa who finished 7th than it was to us, if you want some perspective on where they are.
I don't see all this turning a corner stuff. Mourinho in his first season won them the same cup Ten Hag did, plus he won the Europa League. In his second season he finished second, something we haven't seen Ten Hag is capable of. Even Ole managed to get them to second.
There's a hell of a noise people are making about Ten Hag but he's yet to show anything that united managers in the last decade haven't already done and that was considered not good enough.
