Kieran McKenna: Man Utd’s Ideal Man To Replace Erik Ten Hag?

Рет қаралды 42,973

Күн бұрын

After gaining promotion to the Premier League, Kieran McKenna’s Ipswich Town have become the first team in more than a decade to gain back to back promotions from League One to reach the Premier League. In fact, since his appointment, McKenna has picked up more points than any other manager in England’s top 4 divisions. So how has the former Manchester United coach turned the Tractor Boys into one of the best teams in England?

Will Kieran McKenna keep Ipswich Town in the Premier League next season? 🤔

Depends on summer recruitment! Hopefully United will loan them a few youngsters, and maybe an Amad!

NO!

@MoncleSid 14 күн бұрын

Definitely. I think the quality of the Prem is overstated and the teams up to including Man Utd as it currently stands are all beatable. So that's 13 teams to take 4 points from each giving us 52 points minimum.

I'm an Ipswich season ticket holder and this analysis is spot on. Most detailed I've seen. One thing missing if I am being pedantic is the impact of subs (regular use of 3 subs at a time) and amount of late goals. Subs particularly in the no.10 position have been crucial (for much of first half of the season Omari was a super sub, and then second half of the season, Sarmiento adopted the role).

@StatmanDave 14 күн бұрын

Your fighting spirit is incredible - 32 points gained from losing positions in the Championship is something else

@johnsmith-es7zk 13 күн бұрын

The subs have been awesome. Also McKenna's awareness of the opposition's tactics is amazing and he acts so quickly to make tactical changes and regain control of the game. When the fans see something on the pitch that needs dealing with McKenna is already sorting it out. We trust that man without question.

Watched every minute of every game this season, one of the best breakdown’s I’ve seen. Hirst and Moore are generally central and actually very rarely drift out to the left side. Chaplin’s goal against Hull demonstrates that left hand side diamond perfectly with Luongo dropping in, combining with Harness and Davis.

@finleysolomon7163 14 күн бұрын

You're right about Moore but Hirst definitely drifts into wide areas more frequently for knock-ons/wide runs - an example that springs to mind is the 3rd goal against Hull (H) as well as his assist for Aluko's goal against Bristol rovers in the cup

@guitaringjarmin 14 күн бұрын

Great analysis. The Ipswich attack is incredible, proven by two seasons of being a top scoring side, even beating Leicester, Leeds, and Southampton tally who are recent prem teams. The only nervousness when entering the premier league is the shaky defence. Although good by championship standards, because Ipswich score so many goals, in the step up they will need a premier defence, at the moment they will be punished severely by top 6 teams, but McKenna is no fluke, so every faith he will sharpen all corners

Why are so many people talking about managerial replacements post Fergie era when back then, and NO ONE talked about Sir Alex himself had placed lower than 10th in his first 4 years at Man Utd THREE times? Believe in the Process of Ten Hag.

@HezronHezronHezronHezron Күн бұрын

There's two things you're forgetting when bringing up Fergie in the early days. The Club and the Fanbase back then. The club was not the European juggernaut they were now and they were a far cry from the dazzling football they were once known for under Sir Matt Busby. Senior management at clubs were also alot more lenient with managers and gave them more time. Fergie even admits that FA cup win on his 2nd season literally saved him from being fired. Since then, the club has been transformed into a club obsessed with success. The fanbase has also changed alot. They didn't have the world wide appeal they have now. I became a United supporter as a kid because they were the best team in England. The fanbase has become so used to continually success. Trophies is the minimum requirement for us. Big name transfers is a minimum requirement for us. Good football is a minimum requirement for us. The fanbase is a huge part of the club's financially success. This also means that the club stakeholders listen more attentively to the voice of the fanbase especially because it will affect them financially. So there's a lot more factors at play than just "Fergie also sucked in the beginning." We're a club addicted to success - instant success at that. Managers the world over have been given far less rope not just United. Just look at Chelsea. I agree that we shouldn't be in a hurry to drop managers just because of a bad season. But there's alot more at play than just being loyal to a coach because we have Fergie more time.

This is more or less spot on although as others have said, Broadhead is also important. He usually plays in the left, can hold the ball, has good feet and scores. Glad to see you give Burns the credit he deserves. The other issue is the use of subs. There is little difference in the quality of subs and those they replace so there are always fresh legs in the second half. Finally there is the X factor- team spirit, cohesion and belief. They often recover from losing positions and score late. Happens regularly so it’s no fluke

The only thing that I can contribute here is that the same was said about Vincent Kompany's Burnley a year ago... They were nailing it in the Championship, beating everyone handsomely, playing possession based football, sexy football etc... and when they came to the Prem League, they were the whipping boys... milking cows. The jump from the Championship to the PL is extremely high... too high for tiny clubs like Ipswich to survive...

Reminder: we played more eyes-pleasing football under Ole than Ten Hag ever was. Now we know that both McKenna and Carrick arent as inept as the likes of Man United supporters made them to be. I think the main reason why we had such huge drop of performance in 21/22 was due to lack of quality reinforcement, can you imagine playing the same ol' McFred for 3 seasons straight?

I don't think it will be a good idea to change ETH. He developed a team with his playing mentality. If another manager comes, he has to change the whole team structure again. Again, it will take one season to accustom a team with a new manager playing styles. So, ETH should give another season and give ETH 4/5 signing to see how he manage the team. It takes time for players to get accustomed to his system because some of his signings are bad and there are lots of injury issues. Under ETH many young players outshine in OT like Mainoo, Garnacho, Hojlund, and now Amad. He gives sustainability in the squad which is hard to see in other previous managers after Sir Alex.
