Interested to see ETH bring that quick combination football that we saw at Ajax. United will improve under him if he gets to sign more players, as he creates quality football.
The real question for me is how he compares to Pep, Klopp, Arteta, De Zerbi, Howe, Emery, Frank and probably Potchettino when he gets going. Ten Hag hasnt shown me enough to suggest he can be a cut above these guys.

To be fair, Arteta wouldn't have been on that list until this season either. For a first season it's looking fairly solid.

Is The Premier League Tougher Than It Used To Be?
I'm saying this now, but I've always been confused about the top 6 construct since it became a thing a few years back - probably 5-6 years? Look, for a number of years, it was Aston Villa and Everton making the push for UCL places. Everton even made it at the expense Liverpool. And the very...

Part of management is being able to adapt to changes in culture though, it's not like Ole is an old guy.
I'm not overly keen on preening and pampered players ( and we've had our share) but that's just the way of football now. No point in him complaining about it. If he couldn't motivate or get the best out of his players, that's on him. He spent enough money anyway.
He's just a bvm manager.

Malacia and Antony are absolute dogsh*t so him signing more players is no guarantee of improvement. Martinez was turned inside out at Anfield as well, the jury is still out on him IMO. As far as how he compares to the rest of those managers, he's worse than all of them except maybe Potch.

I’d say the opposite, Arteta has been showing elite level management since 2021/22 already. The signs were clear and people dismissed our season because we failed to make top 4.
As for ETH’s first season, I’d say it’s identical to Arteta’s minus the potential top 4 finish. Similar counter attacking football and patterns starting to emerge in your play.

The thing middle aged people always seem to forget is that the previous generation said the same thing about them
Guarantee you the likes of Joe Jordan and Sammy McIlroy said that Beckham and co wouldn’t have been able to survive in their Utd team 20 years before.
And guess what, in 20 years time Bruno and De Gea will say the same thing about the next generation.

Was about to post something similar. Souness said his era was the best in the 70’s/80’s, everything went soft after that.The thing middle aged people always seem to forget is that the previous generation said the same thing about them

Bet Stevie G will say this era is softer than his day etc.
Ole talking about fighting, the world has moved on. Would argue players have a different pressure today with social media, TV scrutiny etc.

So, we finish fourth and win a cup (maybe two if City don’t turn up in the final) and Arsenal finish second without silverware, we’ve had a better season? @SA Gunner
All in Ten Hag’s first season in England as well.
We’re on the right path, IF the glazers sell this summer we’re laughing.

Depends on the FA cup , I honestly don't count the caraboa as anything amazing, however if you win the FA cup and finish 4th it's been a much better season than last years for sure.
Arsenal's objective was to qualify for the CL but found themselves in a title race against a financially doped side with a terminator striker and world's greatest manager.
However I don't see ETH or Arteta ever competing with Pep even if they both had the same financial resources, you can't replicate his experience and expertise.

They seem obsessed by us on their forum. They will be another 12 points behind us next season too or probably more.

Still lower than the Ratcliffe bid though. I think given that Joel and Avram seem keen on keeping their stake he would need to offer more than Ratcliffe to get them to accept his offerm

I never understood how you can literally live in a country for several years and not pick up the language.
Just stinks of laziness. I felt the same when Paulista was here for like 3 years and couldn't string a word together. I couldn't imagine migrating to spain/france/italy and not being dedicated to learning the language. Definitely no excuse when your income is millions upon millions.

If you’re speaking about Martial, he does speak a lot of English but is very shy/uncomfortable with interviews so speaks in his native tongue.
