If I were to just type that United are playing badly some United lifelong supporter is going to barge in whose father was a United fan, whose grandfather was a United fan, whose great grandfather was a United fan and tell you that the stats show that Ten Hag has scored more points than SAF or Klopp or Mourinho or whoever. When I see such people and there are millions of them worldwide and especially in the UK I automatically wonder if you have to be low IQ to be a football fan. You don’t need stats to tell you that United are terrible. If you have eyes you can see that they are scrapping through and not heading in the right direction. On the other hand if you can understand football you could have figured out that Chelsea on the other hand for all their defeats are headed in the right direction. They might be down in the points table but there is a plan that is slowly working at Chelsea. If you just give it time they will be in the reckoning sooner or later. How is something as basic as this not evident to people.

    You start with how is it that people have so little understanding of football and proceed to slander Ten Hag and his style of football without looking at the current situation he’s in? He is not the best, he make questionable subs sometimes and can’t manage to hold a lead. He also hasn’t recruited well. But… You haven’t factored in the major injury crisis ongoing at the club since the start of the season and the problems with players and the SJR changes. No club as big as Man United should give the manager complete power on signing players. He’s not an expert in scouting, recruitment or statistics. Just because the owners make big money signings doesn’t mean they are the right signings. Plus EtH wanted De Jong, Antony, Kane, Kim Min Jae, Frimpong, Gakpo, Mount and Rabiot. He only got two of them and they were arguably the least important ones on the list.

    United haven’t played the same squad two gameweeks in a row for more than a year. We have had major injuries to Shaw, Malacia, Varane, Lisandro, Mainoo, Amad, Wan Bissaka, Mount, Casemiro and several other players like Evans, Maguire, Hojlund, Eriksen, Amrabaat.

    He also has had to deal with CR7, Antony, Sancho and Greenwood situations.

    Add all that to the media pressure and the overall pressure that comes from being Man United boss, every little detail is scrutinised and covered.

    Pochettino didn’t have to deal with all this. He has stable and supportive owners who have signed a shitload of talented young players and he has time. If Chelsea placed 17th he wouldn’t be sacked.

    Most of the Man United fans including me will back EtH till the end especially after he led us to a trophy and 3rd on the back of one of our worst seasons in PL era.

    You talk about IQs and then proceed to make a biased and absolute dogshit take on Man United. How is something as basic as this not evident to you? Maybe it’s your IQ.
