Yup. We’ve got like 5 points against 14 off games against the top 9. EtH can’t get players motivated for this. It’s entirely on him (and yes I agree glazers need to go also)
I was ranting about this on reddit after the City match. I was on board with ETH even a couple of weeks ago. But some pundits (like Carragher) are right. He hasn’t been able to establish a style of play. There are no patterns. Reguilon reaches the edge of the box and then looks around to see what is happening around him. There are no ‘moves’ that the players have been drilled for. It’s all off the cuff.
We overachieved last season thanks to individuals showing spurts of tremendous form - Rashford, Garnacho, Bruno, Casemiro. But it was essentially the same shit as with Mourinho and Ole. Individual brilliance. If ETH was really that good a manager, wouldn’t there be some semblance of structure to our play by now? If Howe, Gary O’Neill , Emery and De Zerbi can do it with much smaller teams and supposedly inferior personnel, then why can’t ETH? I mean look at how Villa and Wolves are playing!
Not saying he should be sacked. Because who would we replace him with. Just resigned to another season of heartache and rage.

I’m beginning to think the team may be cursed.
