If United are title contenders so are Villa. Villa have no cup competition to worry about unlike United so they can Field the same Eleven.
Are you guys forgetting we have Europa league campaign as well? When last did any team in the Europa league win the league in that same season?

Ole should Priorities which competition is important.

Karleb:
The only thing that has not been done on this thread is outright name calling.

For the sake of peace, I suggest we create a separate thread for both OleOuters and OleIners and leave the thread for general discussion.

With the way things are going, it might result physical fight if care is not taken.

These are what make the Platform interesting.

On a slighter note, Do you believe Man Utd can win the league this season?

LostMyZeal:
Evidently, we're on a run now
Players are no longer getting blamed
Players are no longer trying to let OLE down
We're getting the wins and nobody is at fault now

So then, who do we blame when we start getting poor results...my guess is the players but not OLE

If we do well.... that fraud takes the credit and if otherwise those stupid legends throw the players under the bus

But one thing is obvious even to the blind tho.... majority of the boys in this squad really wanna play for the team and give their all

I can't be deceived by this fraud's run of luck which is mostly based on the bolded and individual brilliance

The only credit OLE deserves is that the way the team plays is no longer reliant on penalties

Even my secondary school football coach of back in the day will do a decent job with these squad of players

You can't have a squad like this and not do a decent job

Remove fernandes and Rashford from this squad ...what happens
Remove firmino and salah from Liverpool squad....what happens


The difference is clear
OLE is a big fraud!!

Remove Mane, Salah and Van dijk from Liverpool what is left

You guys don't understand. It's like a struggling company posting negatives figures for a long stretch and after hiring a new manager, they continue posting loses but at a reduced rate, they'd definitely stick the the manager that shows such promise and after a few years, they begin posting profits, huge profits...

Do you think the board of directors of such companies will remember the past if the same business with the same manager pose loses again for 2 years? Nope, they'll look to higher another manager that will continue the positive trend. Check Poch with Spurs...

In the business world, Uber didn't record profits in first couple of years but their business model showed promises thus investors weren't deterred and now, they're doing well...If they begin posting losses again, investors will begin to ask questions that demand answers, no one cares about the days when they were struggling...

Will the company sack same manager, if their was drop in the profit level after reaching it peak? Ole wasn't appointed for immediate success. The norm for any top team in England is making the top four which was one of the reason why Wenger and Ferguson were never sacked. Once, it is impossible for Ole to make top 4, definitely he will be sack. Poch was sacked when it was getting almost impossible to get into top four same with Conte and Van Gaal. If Ole wins both the FA and Carling cup and fails to qualify for champions League, he will surely be sacked

Expert17:
We shouldn't have sacked David Moyes then, since our succesful years has always been with long term coaches.

Moyes was totally different, finishing without a champions League football after winning the league with same set of players, he might not have been sack, if he has finish in top four.

patrickmuf:
The era when clubs stick to one manager is long gone. Poch did very well with Spurs but when they started struggling he was kicked out...Also, see Mou at Chelsea and Conte afterwards...Klopp also left Dortmund when they were struggling irrespective of his earlier success with them.

If Liverpool go a season without winning a trophy now, Klopp will come under scrutiny and I am quite certain Pool won't take it easy should they go 2 seasons without a trophy.

After Van Gaals Fa cup winning season to the season we won the league cup and UEL, we should have kicked on demanding for silverware from every manager lest his job is under threat...I tell you, if it was Poch and not Ole who was appointed, nobody will give him the benefit of the doubt this long...

Koeman will most likely be fired by Barcelona should they end the season trophyless...You have to set standards...

Since Klopp left Dortmund, how many leagues have they won or final have they reached.
Koeman might not be sacked based on the task he was given, He is managing a squad full of average and aging players. Koeman will only be sack, if he did not finish top three of LA Liga

nitrogen:
Fergie era is gone, abeg.....check clubs like Real, Bayern etc, they won more major trophies than Utd because they don’t have time for sh1t.

How many UCL did Fergie win, despite spending close to 2.5 decades?

How many champions League has Bayern won in the past 20 years after changing coach up and down or Juventus, PSG and others that have continue changing coach because of champions League trophy.

patrickmuf:
Lol...You must be new here...We have had reasons to argue, sometimes very heated arguments but in all, we know too well that it's for the good of the team that's why you have find arguments here go south unlike the 'pant fc' thread...

FFS, they're fans who still supported Mourinho here even when it was obvious he had lost the plot but then, we saw it as their opinion and moved on...If the team starts dropping points and playing poorly, we will complain and since you can't replace all the players, the best bet to rejig a faltering team is to change the manager...It doesn't mean I or anyone hates him...I know you will prolly not get what I'm on about but I just had to...

Have changing of Manager anyhow work for Man Utd in recent years? Look at Arsenal, everyone was complaining of Wenger as a top 4 merchant unknown to them that he was over achieving with the resources he has.
Man Utd successful years has always been with long term coach both under Matt Busby and Sir Alex Fergusson. Liverpool success came after sticking and believing in Klopp to take them to the promise land.

nitrogen:
So, he should have waited till after 10 games before calling for his sack?

You don't call for a coach to be sack, after 5 games in a season with a game in hand though am still not yet convince that Ole is the one that will take us to the promise land.

elrony:
If only Rashford scored 70% of his clear cut chances.

But then, I no be Davido Hairmark

Even 40% of his clear cut chances must especially one on one

codedguy1:

The guy no Sabi Wetin Rashford fit do, Rashford fit miss 20 one on one chance but he still dey useful.

Next Game, we shall see some people clamouring for the start of both Pogba and Cavani as if with those two in the game, we will beat everything silly. Mctominay and Fred might seems incompetence on passing but their quick release of ball usually aid the team.

Goal Goal Goal

patrickmuf:
This is the same rubbish Ole did against Crystal Palace when he started Tuanzebe and James which effectively killed our right wing that day.

Today, with Lindelof and James, our RW was dead. At least play Greenwood or Rashford in place of James so that if we are defensively weak at that side, we won't be weak in attack...

Bailly was very good today.

Play them every time and get them injure, The coach needs to spread playing time this period

The way some people comment as if Pogba is the most important player when with him in the team both towards the end of season and start of the season will loss a reasonable number of games against lower team

Expert17:
No

Majority of Ole in supporter are sitting on the fence since we are aware of his tactical inadequacies.

Trevor012:
Fred vs Mctominay vs Pogba


Big dilemma for Ole against Leicester. Pogba needs to start in my opinion because leicester will set up like Everton did Yesterday and I enjoyed how we dominated them.

Starting Fred, Mctominay, Mata and Pogba bring in Fernandez, if things are not going well

MaziAlaye:
Lmaooo I don die.. what is really helping Ole is just the good atmosphere in the team and the number of quality players in the team.. All others na "in God we trust"

Really, Why do clubs buy quality players?

ChristineC:
Bruno has always had high number of minutes every season so he's not crashing anywhere
he's still the key man in this team but na lie, the team is playing more rounded over the last few weeks.
a few players have been in the thick of things, like Rashford, Pogba, Fred, Martial in the last two games as well. hopefully Greenwood sheds some selfishness in this game.

This team has a good depth those selected are capable of defeating Everton. A midfield of Fernandez, Pogba, Matic and Van de beek and forward line of cavani and greenwood is strong enough. one thing, I love from Ole, he is learning from his mistake, he now knows using a tired first squad is tantamount to failure.

Expert17:


Without Pogba, our midfield can't create

Really, how did we score 6 goals without him. He needs to learn how to release those one time pass

Trevor012:
James scored today. How do you want your L

Pogba did not play, how is that for your almighty Pogba though he will be needed next game.

Lana1:
Except say na injury, I dont get this subbing defender for defender.

Even If the defender is playing rubbish?

Trevor012:
Leeds is not a low blocking team. They will play a highline like Sheffield did. And Mctominay and Fred don't lose possession when pressed or what are you saying? Both of them are not even press resistant.

Pogba is known for holding the ball for too long, he does not release the pass on time. His superb pass against Sheffield United could have lead to loss of the ball in a dangerous position while he was struggling to showboot. Fred and Mctominay are both know for release the ball on time for a quick counter.

Trevor012:
Start two players who offer nothing creative on the ball, Clap for yourself Ferguson. Pogba dribbling and passing will be needed here so he will definitely start

What has the creativity of Pogba done for this team against low blocking team? Pogba is known for losing possession when pressed.

Trevor012:
I swear to God I better not see mctominay or Fred in place of Pogba today. Pogba, Martial and Rashford should be enough to destroy Leeds highline. Greenwood should sit on the bench until he has sense and James should start.

Fred and mctominay must start, I don't care, if he uses Pogba or not.

nitrogen:
He is right now, against Sheffield, the last on the log. Bros, you no dey shame?

So, he should leave a striker coming back from injury or continue to attack and lose the game, Most Sheffield lost this season has been by a goal margin.

CapitalCee:
Attack them aggressively and score.

With the slow poke will have as defenders, that will have been disastrous.

KingAlabi:
Guardiola's job is NOT on the line.

Make Guardiola and Ole lose two more matches this December and let see, if they won't be sacked outrightly.
Do you think Guardiola, suddenly abadoned his tactics?

Is it true that Ziyech is on another leave?

CapitalCee:
This City team is right there for the taking. We have an idiot as a coach

Really, what will you have done differently

KingAlabi:
Shiiit football from both teams

Why did United pack bus when city dey with ball and city will pack the bus when United hold ball

Na wa oh

Shoutout to Fred, played through with injury.

What do you expect, both coaches jobs are on the line hence the preference of Conservative football.
Any further slip up from Ole, he will be sack that is guaranteed after his failure to qualify Man Utd to Round of 16 in champions League.

With Ole Standard, he has achieved. Most of us did not expect us to qualify from that group given that 2 of the teams were European semi finalists but Ole gave us hope and dash it at the same time, the loss against Instanbul came back to haunt him.

Stylishly, Rashford is turning to a Number guy upon is bad decisions and terrible miss this season, he still has 10 goals and 5 assists this season.
