Arne Slot’s tenure unraveled just as Erik Ten Hag’s did.

The parallels between the two men are clear - and though one should seek to avoid the trap of banal generalization, in this case the similarities are apparent & logical.

Both Slot and ETH moved to the PL from the Eresivisie. Both enjoyed great success in their domestic league, hailed for results and playing style, restoring stability and titles to their respective club.

In the PL, during their 1st seasons, ETH and Slot adapted their approach and decided to be cautious & pragmatic.

Instead of immediately remaking their teams to move towards their true vision, they largely focused on profiling & platforming their best players.

This conservative approach brought them success, especially so for Slot.

Interestingly, both used forward outlets with reduced OOP duties & higher starting positions during transitions - Rashford as the left forward, Salah as the right forward.

This mix of excellent profiling, simple but effective in-possession solutions, player quality and tiny tricks to minimize OOP issues proved to be quite potent.

Looking back, it was always going to be short-lived, masking how problematic the underlying ideas would turn out to be.

Even during their best periods, there were defensive issues at United & Liverpool that materially increased as Slot and ETH moved to implement their actual models in their 2nd seasons.

And once they got closer to how they actually wanted to play, things started falling apart, especially so for ETH. The defensive issues in particular became overwhelming.

The difference is that ETH was given another season due to his surprise FA win, whereas Liverpool decided to act right away.

It would be too trivial to write them off as two arrogant Dutch managers who failed to adapt to the PL. They are both good coaches who built serious careers prior to coming to England.

And therein, I think, lies the issue: what made them so good in the Eredivisie also made them very vulnerable in the PL.

You can get away with certain OOP gaps in a league like that. The quality gap is too large. But the more you get away with it, the more you become reluctant to accept they are even there.

@SimplyUtd @GraemeBailey Just when we qualified for the ucl next season suddenly all the player are link to utd.

@SullyTalkz The board needs to stop appointing a manager and have faith on a one man show. The footballing department needs an overhaul in every aspect (e.g. recruitment, style o play) and hopefully a football director. Once these things done it doesn't matter who the manager they hired.

@97Davidgreen @UtdXclusive A half-season campaign wouldn't define a full successful campaign bro

@UtdForever7 Why is luis enrique is not in the final 2 candidate ? Just asking...

[Taufiq_ @topek_badot]

@UtdXclusive Whilst having a fresh new tactical idea like nagelsman after what we saw from amorim is also a high risk... unless ineos can sort things out with their unclear plan for united then either of this option can workout...

[Taufiq_ @topek_badot]

@UtdXclusive Carrick is still not tested in a demanding high tactical clash with any european giant its a risky move to have him for another 3 years unless ineos improve their recruitment department and have a clear structures of what kind of football they want man utd to play; DOF is a must

"For all you say about the academy, you don't actually trust the academy? You never pick any players from there!"

"You’ve said 'I don’t know' multiple times in this press conference, but also you do know the things that you want to improve and fix?"

A fiery Ruben Amorim bites back 😲
