Erik ten Hag criticised his players for the 'soft' goals that condemned Manchester United to a painful defeat at Brighton on Saturday.
Joao Pedro was left totally unmarked in the 95th-minute to snatch a 2-1 win even though United had a total of 10 players defending in their own penalty box.
'We have to learn,' said Ten Hag. 'It is so unnecessary if you protect the goal like we do and then drop points.
'There were so many things in that moment. We have to talk and be aligned in such moments about what to do. Everyone knows their job and as a team we protect our goal.
'We didn't stop the cross (from Simon Adingra). There were three players, right-footed players, who should have sent him down the line and not allowed the cross.
'We have to talk about how we act in that situation as a team. There was more than one mistake on that occasion and that had a big impact on the score.'
United's defending was also poor for Brighton's first goal by Danny Welbeck. 'We conceded two soft goals where we should act better as a team,' added Ten Hag. 'We got two unnecessary goals, very avoidable.'
'In the end you have no points, and that is disappointing because it could have been very different.'

same problem last season. Overhaul and buy replacements . flops like: Anthony, Lindelof, Erikson,Shaw, Maguire, mount, Sancho, casemiro,etc should be sold

You well know out coach doesn't have a good team selection and doesn't know when and how to make substitutes
The problem is that every fan wants to be a coach. They think coaching a football team is like playing FIFA

I know but you have to understand bro the frustration every season expecting a good side of Manchester united new signings coming in only to find out we are still getting humbled
Yeah, but the fact is that we are still years and miles behind the best in class. Football happens in cycles and unfortunately now is our time to struggle until God knows when. The coach is the easiest person to blame but our problems are beyond Ten Hag. Fans have been calling for managers to be sacked since David Moyes up to now. But you can't tell me that all the managers we've had since Ferguson have been absolute shite

To be honest there's too much stupidity among football fans. It's unbelievable how unknowledgeable and overly emotional most of these people are.

it's not his weakness in selection. removing sancho who can be used instead of rashford and zirkzee instead of mount to use the full potential of Bruno. Repeating the mistake he had in his first match again. hope ETH wants to get him sacked soon.

Ten Hag should be criticizing himself as the manager for the weak system of play. Brighton played like a big team, far better than Manchester United. Brighton plays a free-flowing football, while Manchester United play sluggishly, and the only thing they can do is counterattack which they are not even good it.

ETH is a fool manager. Man United will finish the same way, just like last season unless he gets replaced.....why does he take forwards out and put in defenders while not leading the match? Instead, he's supposed to attack...

united showed no need, no urgency to win game. very sluggish passing, most of which are back passes. That is the stupidity of the coach.
the back passing is the one that always pisses me off

Ten Hug is a very useless human being to tell the truth. Ever since he came, it's very easy for any team to run thru the middle of man u, it's so easy to make a cross into united's area. United players don't close or stop anyone from crossing. they just watch as the player makes a decision to cross or to shoot.
if you watch our games this season so far I can say there's some positivity we control the game morw unlike last season but we don't score goals we create less chances and the few chances we get we waste them....

sometimes even the manager can make mistakes but hope he's going to make some changes on that squad against Liverpool....one thing about ten hag coaching is that the amount of goals we are scoring is too little when we win we win with a small margin goal difference and when we lose the margin is to big he needs to improve on thay
