Larride, I don't know you from adam but you fvck up no be small. It's clear that you have an agenda- and even if you do, at least wait until things are factual before showing your true color.

There are a number of differences from Ole's best season at United (and the next season) and Mou's.

During Mou's best season, the play was lethargic and we were always defending. I complained bitterly about that. Many people did. And that was after he's had one season under his belt. He bought Pogba in the first season, and then Lukaku in the next. Throw in Lindelof's acquisition and that's almost 200m pounds. He got eighty-something points. Good.

The next season was when things went downhill for him. And that was mainly because he was not supported by the board- probably because his play was lethargic and slow and the creativity was next to zero the previous season. Plus he was relying on mercenaries. Wanted to buy Willian, Boateng and co. Old cargos.

Last season was Ole's best season. He also bought some players but he had only been at the club for 6 months., and he had to made do with what he had until January. The difference between his targets and Mou's is that they are mainly young talents who will serve the club for the forseeable future.

Now, the main difference between the two is that Ole's team seems to be moving in a positive direction, with some promise. Finished 3rd and got into 3 semi finals. Last season was Martial, Rashford's best seasons at United. Even Mason broke through and was scoring goals. 3rd best defence in the league. It's not as if everything is perfect but things were looking up. Despite Mou hauling more than 80 points, it didn't seem as if things would improve. He was fighting his players and wanted to bring in mercenaries.

The only similarity between those two at the moment, is that the Glazers failed to back them up in the transfer market after their best seasons.

__________________________

Apart from that sef, it's way too early into the season to start complaining about this current side. Saturday was a terrible game, agreed, but then it's just one game in. If the shit repeats itself for the next 3 games or 4, then I will be the one championing #OLEOUT movement.

Shield your gun, old soja. War no dey for here.

So you mean when we won the Carling cup and Europa league and lost the final of the FA cup to Chelsea we weren’t moving in the right direction? grin

Ole hasn’t done half of what Mou did for us (as a manager), so how is Ole moving in the direction and Mou wasn’t?

In Mou first full season with us, we finished 6th with 69pts and won the Carling cup and the Europa League.

In Ole first full season (apart from the first 6 month on the job) we finish 3rd with 66 points and lost 3 semi final (Carling cup, Europa League and FA cup).

Using point haul, it can be argued logically that Mou first full season in the league where we finished 6th was better than Ole 3rd point wise.

The following season we finished 2nd with 81 points and lost the FA cup final to Chelsea. Pray tell wasn’t that progress and moving in the right direction enough?

My own agenda here is simple, if we blame Mou team for their drab and uninspiring football even with the supposed deadwood he had, there’s nothing that will absolve Ole and blaming the players for Ole incompetence wont be tolerated. tongue

What is good for the goose is good for the gander.

Peace.

So 6th is better than 3rd? LOOL.

Mourinho didn't win any major trophy. How many people were boasting of those trophies United won under Mourinho? Bros forget that one.

The main reason people were against him was his style of play. It was clear that Man United will not win major trophies with that method.

In the UCL, one manager lost to Sevilla and talked about legacy afterward. The other overcame a 2-0 deficit in Paris playing youth players.

Not saying one is better than the other but there's a sense of direction now than with Mourinho. If we played like we played on Saturday for the next month, then by all means, kick Ole out of the club.

We all want the best for the club. Even if they sack Ole and bring in Pochettino or any other coach, I will still support them.

Peace brother.

LooL @staying one place for thunder to strike him.

We've played our best football post-fergie under OGS. We had our second best season during his first full season in charge.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's OGS or nothing. But we need to invest in players. Things will collapse after 15 games because we have a starting XI and not a squad. The difference between the starters and the benchers is just too much. By all means, sack OGS and bring in another manager who you think will get the job done, BUT BUY HIM PLAYERS.

Look at Chelsea. Lampard started very brightly but then things became tough towards the end of the season and they started dropping points. How many players has Abramovic bought for him?

Let us sack Ole and bring in another coach. But then we need to support that coach and get him his players. Simple.

There are players on the bench sir.

At least he let some contenders for depth go out. So depth is not his problem.

And saying we played out best football is not true. Which best football is that sir?

What about Bruno? AWB? Even the Maguire you're thrashing sef is not as worse as Smalling as Jones. We had the 3rd best defence in the league last season. The areas we have problem is with the attack. We need to score more goals.

But continue. Agenda will always agend.

Guess what?

Mou won the Carling cup and Europa league with Smalling, Jones, Bailly as CBs, Valencia and Darmain as RB, Ashley Young and Shaw as LB, Midfield combination of Miki, Fellaini, Pogba, Lingard, Herrera, Mata and Forward of a Martial and Zlatan with rookie Rashford.

Let’s compare and contrast who had the better squad between both of them. grin

Europa league is not a major trophy anymore because Mou won it? cheesy

Someone that finished 6th with 69pts and won the Carling cup and Europa league in the first season and then followed it up with 81 point finishing 2nd in the league and lost the FA cup final the following season was not moving in the right direction. grin

But the one that finished 6th in his first half season with 66pts and finished 3rd with the same 66pts the following season is moving in the right direction.

The direction is so obvious. grin

At the first paragraph, No I agreed with sacking Mou when we did, it was obvious he had lost the dressing room.

Expensive mercenaries? grin I guess the players legend Ole has signed were given to us free and they are not drawing salaries from the club. Oh I forgot, they are playing for us because of the love for the club. grin

How did you even arrive at “Europa League is the standard we should attain to”. You can only win what’s in front of you, Europa league was in front of us last season and we lost to Sevilla.

Lowering standards I meant in my previous post was that if one thing is not acceptable with one manager, it shouldn’t be acceptable with another manager. That’s where the double standards comes from.

One manager was mostly interested in signing expensive ageing players that would take lots of money and start chopping bench. The other wanted young talents. Next

You championed Mou winning the EUropa league as if it's what we should be attaining to. Ole did the same last season and people didn't even bother about it.

When it came to the UCL, the trophy that mattered, Mou's taktical masterclass angered many people.

Leave story for Mathias, Ole can’t clean Mou boats when it comes to tactics. They are not mates in anything. Shoe get size.

Weren’t you blaming Mou for the lackadaisical football we were playing under him? Why didn’t you point out that the players we were parading are dross and that’s why we are playing the way we are?

So why shouldn’t we blame Ole for the nonsense football we have been playing but instead we should blame the players. Isn’t that double standard?

Meant to say Ole didn’t win Europa and nobody bothered about it.

It was clear that many didn’t want Mou’s defensive taktikal masterclass. We were clueless against parkdebus teams. And sometimes sef we are the ones parking the bus vs those small teams.

With OGS, there’s a desire to have the ball and play it out from the back. And now, when teams park the bus, we are beating them.

Doesn’t mean OGS doesn’t make mistakes and play some players he shouldn’t have. I’ve blamed him for that many times here.

How many times have we played as horrible as we did against Crystal palace last Saturday, lacking creativity and all under Olé? And how many times have we parked the bus and played lethargically with Mou at the helm?

Agenda must agendate.
