We could have beaten Reading without Eriksen, and now we might be without him for a good while.
As a good as ETH has been, he needs to start trusting the squad players, and rotating a little more.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Or we might have lost and given oxygen to dumbwads to be negative again
The only facts we know are that we started Eriksen, we won and Eriksen got mauled by a donkey
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That was our easiest game of the season so far. We would have beat them without Eriksen.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Amazing that you could know that, while still being regarded as one of the biggest know nothings on the internet
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You don’t think we would have beaten Reading without Eriksen, and have the audacity to question my intelligence.
Give your head a wobble. Silly boy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think we could... "Think" being the operative word... You are stating it as fact, which is a sign of being an idiot.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It’s a sign of confidence in your opinion.
We know that most agreed pre match, that the line up was stronger than we all expected (ie we didn’t need to play some of those against the oppositions)
No problem if you think we need such a line up to beat Reading. Not everyone understands footy to the same degree. Just don’t get abusive to cover it up.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Few on here understand football as well as Erik. Probably nobody does.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You could say the same about many, many managers. Doesn’t mean they get everything right, or that you can’t have an opinion that differs.

I was against the idea of fielding a strong team yesterday. But I must admit that Eric’s approach is the right one: you field your best players, you score two or three goals and then you replace them. For those who say, it’s only Reading, well, we used to struggle against these teams in the last few years. Chasing four trophies is a dangerous business, to be sure, as we may lose two or three of them in one single week, but it’s so refreshing to have a manager who says clearly that he is here to win trophies. In the meantime, we are playing some good football for the first time in years.

Didn’t we get knocked out by Boro last year.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
How do you know what he does and doesn't need to do? You have zero experience at any level, no qualifications, you've never managed a team of football players, you don't know any of the staff, coaches or players on any level.
You, like me, are a complete and utter lay person. We cna have opinions and band those around but as soon as any football fan starts asserting what should or shouldn't be done etc I find it hard to pay any attention.
It's like the monkeys on the phones at work who talk about how the company should and shouldn't be run. There's a very good reason they are being paid minimum wage to answer phones and there's a very good reason none of us here are paid for input on may footballing decisions.
I'd love for foot all fans to stop pretending they really have any idea about things. We observe and make ill informed judgements and opinions. It's fine for entertainment but it's pretty cringe when people who have never even expeirmece semi professional football, act like they know what they would do as a Premier League manager.
You have absolutely no idea what to do, you'd be utterly, utterly useless if you had a week in the job. You have zero understanding of what and why he's made decisions so just bear that in mind. Even the absolute worst Premier league manager of all time is significantly better informed than you or I.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The irony that you claim to know me, my experience or abilities to argue, how I shouldn’t have my say on something that I don’t know about 😀

ETH is the best manger we’ve had since Sir Alex. He definitely knows more about football than I do, especially modern football. But that doesn’t mean that I can’t question some of his decisions. I am not a carpenter, but I can pass a judgment about the way a chair or a table is made.

Of course, we all have opinions, it's why we are on here.
But we must recognise Erik has informed opinions about the, and they are much more likely to be right than ours.
On the match thread we all shout what we should be doing,and why not.
But to state after the game that the manager is wrong and he should have done x y or z is probably not the best idea. Especially after we have just won, again.

That was our easiest game of the season so far.
______
Maybe Ten Hag wanted to put the game to bed in the first half and then take off Ericksen and others.
Things don't always work out the way you want and you can't legislate for the likes of Carrol jumping around like a lunatic
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Let’s be honest. Everyone looked at that line up and thought it was far stronger than they expected.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe far stronger than expected but still went in at half time 0-0 and could have been down by 1 considering Reading had arguably the best chance of the 1st half.
Maybe a 2nd string UTD might have gone in 1 down and Erik would have had to bring on the likes of Ericksen anyway.
UTD's problems at the moment have less to do with Ten Hags rotation and more to do with the embarrassng lack of backing in this window
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think we could have rested 1 or 2 against Reading. I’m sorry, it they were very poor.
I’m also unsure about a lack of backing. ETH wanted Weggy and a reserve GK and got them. He doesn’t seem to be the type to get just anyone in. He wants the right profile of player, which might not be gettable right now.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
We did rest 1 or 2 against Reading
Who exactly were you sorry that were poor ?
If you think ten hag wish list this window was just a back up goal keeper and a loanee striker you are a bigger idiot than you are given credit for.
Not sure fatigue is much of an issue at this point of the season anyway. Certainly not to the point of it causing injuries.
More often than not I think we've used plenty of subs (having 5 helps) so players aren't all playing 90 mins week in week out.
Eriksen, for example, has only played 12 90 mins for us this season from 30 games.
Rashford only played 57 mins in midweek, then came off early yesterday. He's only played the full 90 mins in 14 games.

The world cup and packed schedule can contribute to it, though.
It’s about getting a balance anyway. It’s not just for looking at how fatigued they are now, but how the accumulation of games can cause problems later in the season.
We’ve seen issues at United a number of times at the end of the season where we’ve run out of steam, mainly under Ole, due to playing a lot of matches.

Would he have been clattered if he’d been on the bench or left at home?

There's only one person making a fool of himself here and as usual it's yourself
What point we're you trying to answer or make by stating that Reading were poor ?
You said it was the easiest game of the season yet ten hags strong starting 11 which you have a problem with almost went in 1-0 down to them at HT.
Ericksen most likely would have come on anyway if he hadn't started and if we had struggled to make the break through.
As for backing in this window
He's been restricted to loan signings because funding hasn't been made available and that's the reason why weghorst has been signed. We got a reserve GK because the other one went back to Newcastle
Games aren’t won or lost at half time.
We would have beaten them without Eriksen.
For all we know, the players he wants (as is often the case in Jan) aren’t available.
Let’s be honest, the club aren’t slow to spend.

Oh, we know. Grump Old boll0ck
BTW fellas, to clarify, I rate ETH very highly, and am largely happy with what he has done so far. The only niggle has been his reluctance to rotate and hesitancy with subs.
Just my opinion.
Games aren’t won or lost at half time

You clearly had the game won before a ball was even kicked nevermind at HT

We know that most agreed pre match, that the line up was stronger than we all expected (ie we didn’t need to play some of those against the oppositions)
No problem if you think we need such a line up to beat Reading. Not everyone understands footy to the same degree. Just don’t get abusive to cover it up.

I was against the idea of fielding a strong team yesterday. But I must admit that Eric’s approach is the right one: you field your best players, you score two or three goals and then you replace them. For those who say, it’s only Reading, well, we used to struggle against these teams in the last few years. Chasing four trophies is a dangerous business, to be sure, as we may lose two or three of them in one single week, but it’s so refreshing to have a manager who says clearly that he is here to win trophies. In the meantime, we are playing some good football for the first time in years.

Didn’t we get knocked out by Boro last year.

We could have beaten Reading without Eriksen, and now we might be without him for a good while.
As a good as ETH has been, he needs to start trusting the squad players, and rotating a little more.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How do you know what he does and doesn't need to do? You have zero experience at any level, no qualifications, you've never managed a team of football players, you don't know any of the staff, coaches or players on any level.
You, like me, are a complete and utter lay person. We cna have opinions and band those around but as soon as any football fan starts asserting what should or shouldn't be done etc I find it hard to pay any attention.
It's like the monkeys on the phones at work who talk about how the company should and shouldn't be run. There's a very good reason they are being paid minimum wage to answer phones and there's a very good reason none of us here are paid for input on may footballing decisions.
I'd love for foot all fans to stop pretending they really have any idea about things. We observe and make ill informed judgements and opinions. It's fine for entertainment but it's pretty cringe when people who have never even expeirmece semi professional football, act like they know what they would do as a Premier League manager.
You have absolutely no idea what to do, you'd be utterly, utterly useless if you had a week in the job. You have zero understanding of what and why he's made decisions so just bear that in mind. Even the absolute worst Premier league manager of all time is significantly better informed than you or I.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The irony that you claim to know me, my experience or abilities to argue, how I shouldn’t have my say on something that I don’t know about 😀

ETH is the best manger we’ve had since Sir Alex. He definitely knows more about football than I do, especially modern football. But that doesn’t mean that I can’t question some of his decisions. I am not a carpenter, but I can pass a judgment about the way a chair or a table is made.

Of course, we all have opinions, it's why we are on here.
But we must recognise Erik has informed opinions about the, and they are much more likely to be right than ours.
On the match thread we all shout what we should be doing,and why not.
But to state after the game that the manager is wrong and he should have done x y or z is probably not the best idea. Especially after we have just won, again.

I haven’t suggested Erik doesn’t know what he is doing or questioned if is better placed to make decisions, and it wasn’t after the game that I, and many othrs questioned why he went with such a strong line up.

That was our easiest game of the season so far.
______
Maybe Ten Hag wanted to put the game to bed in the first half and then take off Ericksen and others.
Things don't always work out the way you want and you can't legislate for the likes of Carrol jumping around like a lunatic
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Let’s be honest. Everyone looked at that line up and thought it was far stronger than they expected.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe far stronger than expected but still went in at half time 0-0 and could have been down by 1 considering Reading had arguably the best chance of the 1st half.
Maybe a 2nd string UTD might have gone in 1 down and Erik would have had to bring on the likes of Ericksen anyway.
UTD's problems at the moment have less to do with Ten Hags rotation and more to do with the embarrassng lack of backing in this window
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think we could have rested 1 or 2 against Reading. I’m sorry, it they were very poor.
I’m also unsure about a lack of backing. ETH wanted Weggy and a reserve GK and got them. He doesn’t seem to be the type to get just anyone in. He wants the right profile of player, which might not be gettable right now.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
We did rest 1 or 2 against Reading
Who exactly were you sorry that were poor ?
If you think ten hag wish list this window was just a back up goal keeper and a loanee striker you are a bigger idiot than you are given credit for.

Not sure fatigue is much of an issue at this point of the season anyway. Certainly not to the point of it causing injuries.
More often than not I think we've used plenty of subs (having 5 helps) so players aren't all playing 90 mins week in week out.
Eriksen, for example, has only played 12 90 mins for us this season from 30 games.
Rashford only played 57 mins in midweek, then came off early yesterday. He's only played the full 90 mins in 14 games.

The world cup and packed schedule can contribute to it, though.
It’s about getting a balance anyway. It’s not just for looking at how fatigued they are now, but how the accumulation of games can cause problems later in the season.
We’ve seen issues at United a number of times at the end of the season where we’ve run out of steam, mainly under Ole, due to playing a lot of matches.

Would he have been clattered if he’d been on the bench or left at home?

You might as well never play your best 11 then, just in case

There's only one person making a fool of himself here and as usual it's yourself
What point we're you trying to answer or make by stating that Reading were poor ?
You said it was the easiest game of the season yet ten hags strong starting 11 which you have a problem with almost went in 1-0 down to them at HT.
Ericksen most likely would have come on anyway if he hadn't started and if we had struggled to make the break through.
As for backing in this window
He's been restricted to loan signings because funding hasn't been made available and that's the reason why weghorst has been signed. We got a reserve GK because the other one went back to Newcastle

Games aren’t won or lost at half time.
We would have beaten them without Eriksen.
For all we know, the players he wants (as is often the case in Jan) aren’t available.
Let’s be honest, the club aren’t slow to spend.
