An achievement or an embarrassment? | The Football Show discuss Man United's win over Coventry

[@fourguyses]

5 managers (not including caretakers) have coached Man United since Alex Ferguson retired in 2013. This club sacks their manager every 2 seasons on the average. Always blaming the manager, never blames the players.

[@vincentvries9854]

This manager specifically needs to be blamed for what is happening. Mourinho was held accountable for losing to Liverpool and he was fired for losing to Liverpool...meanwhile, ETH gets a pass for Brentford playing them off the park, Coventry coming back from 3 nil down and totally dominate them in extra time. These a smaller weaker teams that he should be beating fairly easily.

[@fourguyses]

@@vincentvries9854 Yes, but the coach is a symptom (not the cause). Every successful coach at top clubs thrives because the management runs optimally (as a business and as a football club) leading to better squad recruitment. The manager is the roof, the players are the blocks, while management is the foundation.

[@vincentvries9854]

@@fourguyses Bro he got most of the transfers he wanted, Antony is not performing. He got the striker. Martinez is always out injured. Malacia is not good and he is also always out injured. Amrabat. Varane. He can't even get Donny that he once was coaching at Ajax to perform here at United...some of the excuses u make for this guy are just a load of turd. He wanted those players, they are not club signings, they are his signings so the recruitment excuse does not apply for him.

[@fourguyses]

@@vincentvries9854 Agreed, but that's not all that is required. They still have to play with all sorts of players bought under different manager's philosophy. Still, more transfer is required for squad depth while also draining the swamp (very key). Fan had agreed that the club needs up to 4 seasons to see results comparative to past glory, why the hurry after 2 seasons?

[@vincentvries9854]

@@fourguyses because u are backing the wrong horse here, isn't it obvious. Plus it's the wrong time to suddenly be backing managers to stay longer time looking for stability and comfortability at United, the damage he will be doing would be catastrophic in the end. The new manager will have to come in clear out his Dutch league recruits, a whole new rebuild job. You had better managers before ETH that needed backing but u guys weren't interested in long term commitment then so look for a better manager now, why commit to ETH?

For 70 mins it was an achievement and a very professional performance, led by the likes of Mainoo and Garnacho.

[@BollaBiff]

Embarrassing, Coventry should be in the final.

[@PetterStoners]

I don't see how people are saying that United were performing so bad. They had loads of chances in the extra time. There was plenty of chances to take them more than 3 goals ahead, but there's a trend through several years with these players where we see them get nervous and make mistakes instead. It's a cultural thing that Ineos needs to work on. Some people are putting it all on Ten Hag that they collapsed, but the way I see it is that the players makes mistakes that deviates from the game plan. Looking at the fact that there's only Dalot in that back four who's played more than 2/3 of the games this season I think they've been playing as expected. Seeing Casemiro in the CB role I realized he was alot more proactive than other CB's we've had. The squad isn't balanced enough to compete let alone with all these injuries they've had.

[@raymondadulley7416]

I don't think it's the Manager's fault. The Players were shambolic. The Players SHOULD and MUST take responsibility.

[@Randomaccount9470]

Who picks them and who bought the shxt on the bench like Antony Ole did better with the same players And mourinho had the worst set of players but did better I'm so sick of this player nonsense he keeps picking them Rashford played the full game

[@JasonReaMagic]

I think the reality here is that the players have lost faith in the manager and clearly arnt playing for him. You can blame the manager yes, you can blame the Glazers and everyone at the top but the end of the day those players are playing the game. Players not running, staying on the floor and then calling their performance as professional is a disgrace but it’s up to the players to have the will and desire to win

These are highly motivated and experienced players. You cannot take out Kobbie and Garnacho out of a game then all of a sudden, the rest of the Tesm struggles. There's no hunger and commitment. The Players should be ashamed of themselves.

[@bobbypukes605]

We've got some good heads in there. Scotty, Bruno, Maguire, Rasmus, and Garnacho. That's the spine of the team that we need to keep and bring in players to play around them.

The embarrassment is not because it's Coventry, they are a decent side. The embarrassmenr is the style of play, the substitutions and tactics but most importantly, throwing away a 3-0 lead in a semi final at wembley. This is their only chance of silverware this season and they put in a performance like that. Coventry deserve full credit for not giving up because they saw united's weaknesses and exposed them.

Mate, What does the coach have to do ? What would you have done differently ?

[@christrash6345]

Manchester United currently has the problem that self-confidence is lacking. The team is currently crumbling with every goal against them, as the result has been turned around in the last second several times now. This is not due to the trainer, but rather to the mental strength of the team. In my opinion, Ten Hag is the best coaching option, we urgently need a good transfer summer. 2 CBs, 1 LB, and 1 CDM. The gap between midfield and back four is due to the lack of trust in the speed of the CBs. The current players are obviously not suited to play the ETH system. Look at the games, when shaw and martinez are fit! Completely different!

Game changed when he took Mainoo and Garnacho off, midfield became limp

Yeah yeah yeah... In the end, United has no issue to score goals and that's a big step from my point of view. The thing is that they can't switch yet to a setup where they "unplay". I think ETG should improve this aspect of his philosophy. He wants to always play 100% good football. The reality is that in the Premier League, you can't maintain this during all games. At some point, you have to kill the game, not by scoring, but by unplaying. We saw in recent games that they are trying to do it. Onana is trying to waste time, the team is trying to pass the ball around without looking for a ball forward, just to make the opposition run. It's pretty the contrary of the positive football ETG pushed since he's at United, but yeah, at some point, this team needs to play "negative" football when necessary. Currently, they don't know how to handle these moments. And it's probably because the play maker and captain is Bruno Fernandes. It's difficult to imagine B. Fernandes not looking for the good quick pass forward. He's been working on this, and improved this aspect of his game (wasting time) but it's the whole team who needs to learn how to switch.

They let their foot off the gas which was an embarrassment for Coventry, then united got punished for it and united couldn't get back on top again. Coventry deserved that win more than united.

[@sicklymaad]

If he thinks this is an achievement. He’s unaware of standards and expectations that make Man U a big club

[@refigee8752]

An embarrassing achievement. The lack of celebration said it all

[@josephwamae6348]

Liverpool lost van djik to injury their season collapsed.... Arsenal lost saliba they lost the title.... But man utd are not supposed to be affected by missing centre backs and left backs😂😂

[@screwshady]

Coventry were the rightful winners to move to the finals. They were the justified team rather than the woeful Man Utd outfit. Agreed with the socmed to label them as a Championship team, utter disgrace.

[@venkkandadai6042]

It’s the players and the club culture, not the manager. Hasn’t the past 10-12 yrs proved this?

[@EthanG298]

As a utd fan trying to be as objective as possible: Of course it's a great achievement, utd were the better team for 70 minutes and are through to an FA Cup final. But at the same time, it's extremely worrying how poor we are at game management and how weak the players mentality is. Completely crumbled as soon as the first Coventry goal went in and it was only 3-1 at that stage, that part is embarrassing. p.s Congrats in advance to City for winning the FA Cup

[@Kinghero616]

To beat championship club is the higher achievement 😂😂😂😂

[@andrewsutor1849]

Easy to pin it on the manager but what the other managers who have failed with pretty much the same squad?? Ole Jose ragnick van gaal??? Its the players who are failing not the manager

[@DRIVER-SEBVET]

Look this Coventry team knew about utd's inconsistencies and knew if they could just get 1 goal Utd would implode... And we're not even talking about Coventry almost winning it in Extra time, would've loved that....

[@COomjiNX]

I agree that some players are to blame for poor performance but those players do not pick themselves and Ten Hag ingame management is atrocious, subbing the best players on the pitch to leave underperforming players on is baffling, then he said it was a good performance and not an embarrassment, what is he smoking?

[@leviathon18]

i undertstand coventry came back by 3 goals but utd still got to the final people angry like this didnt happen lol

[@SLSAMG]

Any objective observer may see that several of the players who have fired a handful of managers are the lowest common denominators. ETH, like so many others before him, wants his severance pay. Call it self-sabotage, but nobody in his situation would resign. The fact he's exposing Rashford and co. as frauds for the world to see, is a sight to behold.

[@nobotshere8364]

If ETH listened to the fans, saw the reaction of the players at the final of the pens it's evident we all feel embarrassed. I'm ashamed of this team, absolute shight. Bruno, Cas, Rashford, Anthony, Arron can all go for cut prices.

[@pro-grogan6721]

How did the give a peno in that game and not for Chelsea it makes no sense

[@luthonthabiseng7741]

YOU KNOW WHATS EMBARRASSING? VAR AND PGMOL

[@berniebanders3393]

Liverpool isnt a good comparison. They have had a decent structure for a long time. Its not just United hasnt had their best 11 but they have had huge injury issues. Cant just write him off because he wont call what he has been left with sh*t.

Roy Keane's Perfect Championship Club: Manchester United with Earling Haaland on top PS: I'm not a City or a United fan, I don't hate Keane

[@mchawamustafaking3817]

You should also remember it's not only united they win against other epl team

[@philiprandolphbenitez3788]

Sure, they can beat and tussle with some clubs on the right side of the premier league. United tho, UNITED. They should roll team like Coventry 4/5-0. It is a EMBARRESEMENT for ETH and United. The stature and fans, 1 united player wages is as much as the entire Coventry squad. No, them beating Wolves should not equal them beating United. Absolute DISGRACE. Coventry should have won the game, it was no offside. SHAME UNITED.

[@SK-Drones]

End of day if we lost we would never live this down. But we didn’t, we won, so we take an embarrassing few days and we move on.

[@stevejohnson170]

I’m sure Spurs, Newcastle, Villa and many others would like to be as embarrassed? Stupid headline. Got to the final… in a season filled with injuries and other issues. Third final in two years. There were no defenders or midfielders on the bench. How can you blame that?

[@bobbarker9556]

10 mill payroll vs 208 mill payroll.

[@RRR-vr7cd]

Queit easy. It's an achievement to reach the final. It's an embarrassment to give 3 goals away to coventry.
