    I’m really confused by the whole ETH situation. I really rated him (at one point I wanted him over Arteta, oh fool that I am!) and expected him to do a good job at Utd. Though it seems like he is regressing to Ole ball more and more with each passing game. Can’t say he hasn’t been backed.

        I don’t think you can blame a manager playing negative when they first take over. Look at Arteta’s first season with us. However, you saw that as soon as Arteta was changing things he had a vision in mind. Now, there were definitely times when it was legitimate to question if we were sane to keep following that vision, but Arteta was clearly going for something his players at that point were unwilling to do. I kind of expected something similar from ETH this season, but it doesn’t even seem like they’re transitioning into an ‘ETH team’ at all. It’s like he has completely bottled it which is where I’m quite surprised. Think it also puts into perspective how good Arteta is. Takes balls to stick to his philosophy the way he has.
