I’m surprised to see this – Erik Ten Hag reacts to 7-0 defeat to Liverpool

Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag has given a scathing assessment of his team’s pitiful performance against Liverpool which led to a 7-0 defeat.

Addressing reporters after the match, Ten Hag said he was disappointed with the way his players reacted to conceding two goals so soon after the break. He added that he couldn’t recognize the team throughout the match.

The Dutch coach said;

“It’s 3-0, as a team you stick together. We didn’t do that. I’m surprised to see this from our team, I don’t think it’s us, I don’t think it’s Manchester United.”

Ten Hag also averred that the Manchester United side which played against Liverpool were “unprofessional”. He added;

“After halftime, so quickly we gave the game away. We made bad decisions on the ball, how we anticipate, how we concede the goal. The third [goal] was a counter and we were so unprofessional with our decisions, running away, giving the space away, not tracking back.”

Cristiano Ronaldo’s Outburst Against Newcastle United: Erik Ten Hag’s Response

Erik Ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, responded to Cristiano Ronaldo’s outburst during the match against Newcastle United.

On Sunday, October 16, 2022, Ronaldo expressed his annoyance at being replaced during the second half of the match against the Magpies. Ten Hag thinks that Ronaldo’s response was understandable because no player enjoys being replaced during a game.

I think no player is happy when he [is taken] off, especially not Ronaldo, I understand that. As long as it is [done] in a quite normal way, [I have] no problem with that. He is, of course, convinced that he should stay on and he should score a goal. That is why he is that good. I know it [the hat-trick], but, and, of course, when you line up several facts you take count of, but also other facts you take count of.

Prior to leaving the Red Devils or retiring from football, the 37-year-old will be aiming to achieve more milestones. He recently scored his 700th club career goal.
