Although players had their part to play in the awful game we had, ETH needs to take responsibility as well and not bring on "trophies" everytime things go wrong.
We are basically one bad pass away from being 2 vs 4 which is absolutely astonishing. Arne Slot wonderfully discussed our system where two wingers high up on the pitch is basically enough to tear down our midfield with just one simple pass.
As bad as Casemiro was in yesterday's game, he should not be in that position. One bad pass from your DM should never be enough to completely be in exposed position. ETH absolutely needs to adopt in a way where the team is compact and loosing ball everytime does not open up the whole team.

That seems obvious to everyone who is not Eric Ten Hag. In theory it could make for some very exciting games but it would require Bruno and those ahead of him to be able to make final passes and score a far higher % of the chances created. It's not like we didn't have any. Both teams had 3 shots on target. United had more corners and slightly more possession. It was not dissimilar to the preseason game, where, again, we had plenty chances but Liverpool put theirs away.
It's very frustrating. We really ought to be getting better results even with all the errors, deficiencies and a squad with too many non-contributing highly paid players. ETH no doubt feels the same frustration, and that with just a little bit of luck the whole thing will suddenly come together and he'll be vindicated. That's why he keeps sticking to his guns. Einstein, on the other hand, said that insanity was repeating the same action over and over again and expecting a different result. Despite Berrada's comments coming out in full support of Ten Hag, I think we're midway through the second half and it's Eric Ten Hag 0 v 2 Einstein. He's going to need a strong come back. Maybe a win in Fergie time?

Silly me. I googled it and it backed me up. I must be in error. I'll stop repeating it.
