Are we being harsh on the manager?

You can give them all the direction you want,.Once they enter the pitch, it's on them.

are you suggesting that the players either individually or collectively refuse to follow instructions from the manager given prior to and during matches. Basically 'down tooling'?

There’s probably an element of that going on. How many pundits have said that these groups of players through the manager under the bus?

Seems to me the exact opposite of what's going on. The team generally plays badly but individuals are pulling results out with individual performances and saving the manager from getting sacked

I think the bigger issue is that most of them have got a lower IQ than RDD. We’ve got so many brainless footballers in the squad.

I don't understand this. Individual mistakes maybe but over a season, in general.. of course it's on the manager who's still giving the directions they can't follow or picking players that can't follow them.

I mean, if United were playing at the peak of their potential (ie at their spending level or at least close to it) I'd get your point. But you're way off in terms of results and performances.

He isnt instructing them to play badly, is he.

No. Im saying some of the players just aren't good or intelligent enough

I dunno. You tell me who's got you to a cup final and 7th(?) in the league despite your team playing shiiit most of the season

He has been impressive, but I wouldn't say he has carried us to 7th and the final like the other poster had suggested has happened.
