The right words were used here haha. Manchester united is a poorly coached low quality side; majority of the players are not world class and the coach is terrible at his job too; underusing the players and failing to get the best of the squads. Embarassed out of the carabao cup and champions league too.
An humbling against West Ham in london and a sack to ten hag will make many fans excited tbh
Overall, of course, the strategy used by Ten Heg in the match against Liverpool does not look like Man United has high honors as a quality club. They formed a defense like an army that was afraid of enemy attacks and from the start had no confidence in winning. Well it's been a bad season for Man United. But I don't want to think that all the players there are bad. But I prefer to blame how the coach at this club is completely unable to bring out the potential of every player in the club. I know Bruno Fernandes is one of the best from the Portuguese national team along with Felix (current Barcelona player). But when Bruno Fernandes played at Man United he really became like a different player. He always makes decisions hesitantly as if full of worry. I don't know how Ten Heg puts pressure on the players on the pitch. But this also happens to almost all Man United players. Rashford, who was very sharp last season, has even become blunt this season. There is clearly something strange about the managerial approach at this club. All the players seemed to be playing under pressure. They really weren't themselves. As for Liverpool, I can't say much about them. One word is enough for them this season. Amazing !
Yes, Erik Ten Hag seems that optimizes strategy keeping the defense tight so that the home clubs is not able to break into Manchester United's defense like last season when they conceded a lot of goals, but yes, at least this strategy can save Manchester United from conceding goal and is able to bring home 1 point and Liverpool I really regret that they were shifted from Arsenal, even though in this match many people hope that Liverpool would be able to embarrass Manchester United because the team condition was not very stable. But in the end the match ended goalless and this looked boring.
It's true as you said, if Manchester United players seem to play like they're not themselves, they only play according to Erik Ten Hag strategy, but sometimes Erik Ten Hag applies the wrong strategy, causing defeat. Erik Ten Hag is to blame for all of this, he actually not capable but he is too pushy so this will really affect the team performance, it seems impossible for Manchester United to get a top 3 ranking like last season even though they are coached by the same coach but Erik Ten Hag made the wrong player changes this season, especially recruiting players who don't being so useful and throwing away important players, this is what make it difficult for Manchester United to manage their performance.
