INEOS

“ Perhaps not this season but I don't reckon Ineos will want to go into a new season with a manager who's under pressure.”

Any manager in that seat is under pressure, and no manager will win anything relying on the players and injury record we have. Of course some of that will be down to ETH.

It’ll come down to CL qualification I expect.

I accept any United manager will, and should, be under pressure. However, my thinking is that Ineos won't want to go into the new season with the cloud of an underperforming manager around. I know that's harsh, and I accept ETH has been given a poor hand, but I also don't think he's shown enough this season. He does still have time to turn around the results, and just as importantly the performances, but the longer it goes on like this the more difficult it'll be.

That’s why I expect it will come down to CL qualification.

It isn’t a great summer to be shopping for a manager, with Liverpool, Bayern, Barca in the shop window, maybe Chelsea and even Arsenal too.

CL I think he will start next season but without I think ETH will be released at the end of the season.
Despite the injuries very poor tactically today so many players unnecessarily out of position, made a real mess of it.
Agree on the manager front although Radcliffe seems very aggressive in going after and getting what he wants..

And if I were to single out one player in that game who was particularly diabolical , it would be Dalot.

They were all trash but he stood out.

Yep, Dalot is just not good enough. especially for that inverted full back role.

I don’t mind him as backup, but we can’t rely on him, he’s a terrible defender.

My 10 year old son even said that Dalot's greatest quality is giving his teammates a high-five after they clean up his mess defensively.

Can't say that I disagree ...

Does my head in that does.

maybe Klopp cud b temted 2 take over as coach?

That said, ETH made a rod for his own back with the lineup changes. He could have simply drafted McTominay into the CF position and kept everyone else where they'd been effective the last few weeks.
