So not only is United performing poorly, they're actually quite fortunate to be as high up the table as they are.

The reason we don’t want him gone is because we sacked Moyes, Van Haal, Mourinho, OGS…they can’t all be the problem. If we sack ETH, okay…then what? Another manager trying to work with players who don’t care? I’m genuinely asking this isn’t sarcasm…but what do we do? For me, the club needs to empower the manager to start sacking/selling players in order for players to actually take him seriously and to run, to actually try on the pitch. Klopp & Pep are respected and feared by their players but honestly, with our current squad…no manager on the planet will get that.

As a utd fan for 30 years, this is the worst ive seen. Mid table team at best.

[@93CamiSS]

It is a mid-table team atm. How many world-class players do we have? Bruno & Martinez maybe? Both injured and out of the game. Playing evans and casemiro at the back was absolutely criminal. They shouldve had younger legs over there. My heart sank when Case got pushed for the 3rd goal. He is selfish to turn up for the games when he should be in physio. He literally limps on the field.

[@robertnapier624]

Yeah, people as in mainly pundits need to stop calling United a top table/ top tier (top whatever) team. Mid table (as you say) at best. Frankly United are lucky to even be in the top half. If United somehow finished bottom half (not saying relegation) next season, I’m not sure if we should be surprised.

[@thewolverine1913]

Currently 4 down at Palace

[@AyushSingh-ev6lz]

We currently lack a fit center back, having tried over 30 different combinations. It's been the worst season for Casemiro, and expecting us to maintain an xG below 1 seems unrealistic. While it's easy to blame Ten Hag, any manager would struggle with the amount of injuries we're facing. I'm not defending Ten Hag, and I even question his decisions at times, but sacking him isn't the solution. The real issue lies in the structure of the club and support he has. I hope Ten Hag gets the opportunity to work under a better structure. One thing is certain: if we do sack Ten Hag, he'll likely find success elsewhere with better support. It's time to address the root cause of our problems. not sack yet another manager.

[@Matty-kelly]

Newcastle have had more injuries and never once complained

[@Janko-kn3gu]

⁠@@Matty-kellyive definitely heard Eddie Howe complaining about injuries this season on more than one occasion along with their fans.

It is utterly ridiculous how bad United have been this season and people who are using the injuries as an excuse are just showing how little they have either watched United or understand what the biggest problem is. We play as if we are two different blocks of 5, the front 5 playing a high press and the back 5 playing very deep which leads to a giant space in the middle of the pitch and is why we are the easiest team ever to play against. The fact it happens every game shows it must be an instruction from the manager and if that is how he is instructing this team to play then that is simply criminal.
