Twitter fanbase issues: Manchester United edition
There is a huge problem on Twitter among modern soccer fans, and it is developing into a toxic situation that can cause serious damage. A lot can happen in the world of football, and Manchester United is the biggest example at the moment. Erik ten Hag took over as manager three seasons ago, but was hailed as a savior by those who criticized Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s smiles and suggested that a manager with tactical sense would come to the club and win the league. It was called.
Erik ten Hag was the buzzword of the time, and rightly so. He was and still is a very talented coach, and the sentiment on Twitter when he arrived was positive. A tactician has finally come to the rescue of a Manchester United side that did not seem to be receiving any form of guidance from manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær. How interesting! People who have never coached in their life had no idea how to coach a soccer team to a man who won Molde’s first championship in 30 years and ran on nothing but individual talent for three years. He suggested that there might be. That’s really, really stupid.
Erik ten Hagg: He is more forgotten than we will ever know.
The Ajax manager took over at Manchester United and, despite a difficult start, immediate improvements were seen. Not forgetting their start, United improved, finishing third and winning their first trophy in six years. It felt like a monumental moment for the club and the manager.
Erik ten Hag’s Red Army chanted in the stands. People in January believed United deserved to challenge for the title after beating Manchester City at Old Trafford. I had faith. Eric was that guy.
Two seasons later, Erik ten Hag now clearly doesn’t know how to coach, has no personality and is insulted about his appearance on a daily basis. How fickle modern soccer fans are, and how can people vent their personal feelings on soccer apps, think of insulting a man they’ve never met, or think of insulting a man they’ve never met because their favorite soccer team lost a game? What an unfortunate situation in society, where one’s appearance is accepted. game.
United’s loss is tough. Understood. Yesterday’s 3-0 loss hurt, but whatever happened to the constructive criticism. You can see accounts like Jack Fawcett and HtoMuFc. They are dissatisfied with the manager’s performance or the tactics being deployed, but are trying to air it online in a constructive way, backed by real evidence and hard-researched points.
Instead, we have an account that has made a name for itself by standing outside Old Trafford, holding a microphone and threatening to take on those calling for Erik ten Hag to stay, and by insulting players and staff within the club. . That’s very sad and a very terrible sign of how society has moved on and continues to move on.
Six managers have come to United, six have failed:
There is no one who does not know the shortcomings of the current Manchester United team. That’s obvious. It’s not set up structurally well. They don’t seem to be deploying the right game plan. It seems too easy to play. That’s obvious. The evidence cannot be ignored. Is it all Eric’s fault? I can’t say I believe that. Is it a joint responsibility between players and coaches? I think so. Does that mean these players aren’t trying? No, I don’t think any of United’s current players go on the pitch with the intention of not running. I don’t think there’s anyone among them who doesn’t care about the soccer club, and I think this loss has caused great damage to the players.
I also disagree with the idea that these same players threw the coach under the bus. These players aren’t throwing Eric under the bus. Not at all. The coach also doesn’t throw his players under the bus. Neither is working at the moment.
I’m not sure if I’m not getting Eric’s thoughts across enough. I don’t know if the players actually understand the instructions, but they just can’t execute them to a high enough level. It may be a collective amount, but it seems like we hear the same conversation every 17 months. Fans are now suggesting that Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjær, David Moyes and Ralf Rangnick lacked tactics. So is the buzzword: “What are they doing in training?” And “lost the dressing room” pops up every few months with such frequency that it really makes me laugh.
This is not a suggestion that United should stay with their manager even if they fall to the bottom of the table. But this football club has a good manager who went on to the team after us and won the European Cup. Ralf Rangnick is regarded as one of the greatest German managers of all time, but despite leading his Austrian side to level with France on world football’s biggest stage at the Euros, he was unable to manage Manchester United’s Middlesbrough team. He struggled in battle.
Many would say that international football is different. If you can coach 11 players at club level, you can do the same at international level. If he can coach the Austrian team to play at a high level and in a high-pressing style against France, he will be able to coach Manchester United effectively against Middlesbrough. This is not an opinion. That’s a real fact.
INEOS knows what they’re doing:
INEOS may have researched the market over the summer, but decided there was no manager in the market who was a good fit to do what they wanted to do going forward. Erik ten Hag is a world-class coach who was appointed by Manchester City to replace Josep Guardiola and has been backed by the Spaniard himself. If United’s situation doesn’t improve over the next few months, he may have led the club well enough, and when the time comes it will be fair, but Twitter will be giving away this new shiny toy every year. claims. It solves everything, only to throw away the toy after a few months. I have to stop because I am tired of following the process.
Those who hated the ground he walked in during Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s incredible reign at United are now claiming the club made a mistake in letting him go. The same people who are currently calling for United to sack Erik ten Hag are likely to run the same administration should the next manager find themselves in a similar impasse and there are calls for his sacking. It will be. It’s a cycle. It’s been happening for 10 years and at some stage you start asking yourself if Manchester United are really too big a club to fix.
Every word is scrutinized. Every touch. All headers. They are the most closely analyzed club on the planet. They are the most criticized players and coaches on the planet. Kieran McKenna and Michael Carrick were told by pundits on Twitter that their only time at United was “a job for the mates”, with McKenna becoming one of the most popular managers in English football and Carrick shining brightly. He was criticized for just doing his job. Alongside Middlesbrough.
The shirt is the heaviest item in football. Jadon Sancho has always been a quality player, but his actions at Manchester United were unacceptable and he was right to leave for all parties, but at United the weight of his shirt It was too heavy. The same can be said of Anthony and many other footballers who have just fallen apart due to the harsh criticism leveled at them during their time at the club.
On the subject of not giving players time:
Another scandal in modern Twitter is the insistence on undermining the club’s players at every opportunity. Certain accounts attack Marcus Rashford every chance they get. They record a 10-second scene against Luton, but instead of letting him return to his own box, they track him down with a team that was 10 men down yesterday. Joshua Zirkzee is already considered not good enough for the club on Twitter, despite showing clear signs of quality in every game he has played. Rasmus Heilund is still a young player with literally years left to become a great player and reach his full potential. , has already been deemed non-compliant by people who couldn’t kick a soccer ball into the Grand Canyon.
Joshua Zirkzee is Roberto Firmono’s profile. Liverpool fans have been bullish on Firmino’s defense for years and they were right. Neither player will become a prolific striker with 20 goals a season, but they will encourage the team around them to become better players. Rasmus Heilund, if you look at him through the eyes of someone who understands football, you’ll understand what you’re looking at. He’s a true striker. A beautiful profile of a player who is likely to succeed only in this sport as long as he can stay healthy.
It’s not just Manchester United, but the level that happens at United is above any other club. Marc Cucurella was forced out of Chelsea Football Club 12 months ago but is now one of their most important players. Darwin Nunez — I’ve seen people online calling one of the hardest players to mark in the Premier League a “donkey.” If Darwin Nuñez is a donkey, then let me be a donkey every day. I can only wish I was that good at soccer.
The voices of uninformed people on Twitter are too loud. People who haven’t done research on a subject speak about it as fact, but unfortunately their following is so large that their points, which have neither research nor come from a place of knowledge, become gospel. It may be perceived as such. This is a true pandemic and parallels the team leak situation we are currently seeing.
It’s a disappointing time for United fans, and football fans in general, as the truth comes out. I will continue to support all the managers who come to this football club. Are you satisfied with your performance? Of course not! they are not enough. Would it be understandable if the club parted ways with Eric? Reluctantly, I have to trust the decisions of a group of people like INEOS who are clearly experts in the field and think this is the right decision. If I were to base my decision on the opinions of experts on Twitter, Marcus Rashford would be one of the best players in the world at another Premier League club, and so would probably Bruno Fernandes.
Just because your football team loses is no excuse to be mean online or hide the fact that you “love your club.” Of course you shouldn’t accept mediocrity, but there are ways to vent your frustrations without taking your words personally. I hope that someday people will understand that. That’s the fickle nature of football fans. Brennan Johnson was public enemy number one for the Spurs three weeks ago. Now he is a hero. Like a young player being unfinished and making mistakes? God forbid that anyone alive ever see Cristiano Ronaldo in his early days. They would have thrown him out of Manchester United within three weeks.
