I have never argued with anyone about his poor use of subs and i've spoke about that several times here.

But the pics below from games early last year proves Ole never used to stand up from his seat...

So you're saying Ole wasn't watching porn on his ipad during the first half in the early stage of this season?

There's a reason why we said Ole was a reactionary coach. His team played badly in the first half and he has nothing to say about it until half time. He gets more active in the second half. This is a fact as at that time. I'm not speaking for last season or now, I'm very particular about early this season when we were playing badly.

melodyogonna:
I don't know, fans, particularly football fans are reactionary, past results and obvious details are forgotten most of the time when a team is losing.

All na agenda. Everyone is guilty finally

Lana1:
Ole did not beat Pep 6-1.
Besides Pep is not Bielsa. He has managed top clubs and won Champions leagues(plural). So this amala wey u dey try turn no neccestri. Try again.

Oh it's the scoreline that's the koko and not the victory?

Peps history should remain history in this discuss. Ole is the new kid on the block. Ole ti take over. Ooops outdated, archaic, finished Mourinho beat Ole 6-1 in his backyard just recently. Wahala dey o

Lana1:
You always make it sound like Ole sits on his chair for 90 mins and never gets up to bark instructions.
Be like say we go need dedicated Ole camera wey go dey show Ole for the bottom of screen when games are ongoing.

Ole wasn't doing that as at the time this was an issue and you know that. He wouldn't even make any changes until 78-80+ minutes. You were here when all this was happening and you defended him na. Why you dey disguise lol? In fact some even said maybe Ole dey visit this thread as he started doing those things we complained he wasn't doing. I know you won't deny this

Ole even beat Pep home and away last season, and currently doing better than him. Ole na oga where Pep dey

Lana1:
U be correct guy o. So i no know why u wan dey disguise lately.

Sebi u always expect Ole to stand up from his seat and telepathically give his players sense whenever they are playing rubbish?
Why Bielsa no do that one today? Abi is it only Ole that must be rolling on the ground before his players can play well?

I no dey disguise. I don't blame the coach when Pogba or Fred gives a wrong pass or lose the ball or when Maguire brainfarts. I blame the coach for the poor intensity with which the players start or attack the ball. I know the part of the game that the coach has control over and the ones he can do absolutely nothing about. If the team is playing poorly with a lot of lose passes, lack of runners, not winning second balls etc, I expect the coach to get on his feet and Express his displeasure. Coaches with much better players do this, why is this not acceptable when it comes to Ole? Why is this a problem when we demand this from Ole? Klopp, Pep, Ancelotti, SAF with their better players won't go cross leg on the stand. They will still be on their feet trying to influence the game. These are coaches that should be relaxing with their best players in world on the pitch right? It doesn't even guarantee a win but it goes a long way or you think great men like SAF just wanted to jump and bark instructions on the touchline for fun or doctor's order? Haba na

melodyogonna:
Think they're talking more about the pattern of play and the hype around it rather than individual players or the coach

No that's not it. If that's it, they'll call out the players for the errors. Why would anyone want to talk bad against a pattern of play that dominates and create chances?

patrickmuf:
It's funny that they didn't bring up all this talk after Leeds played Manchester City or when they played against Liverpool but immediately we beat them, they have turned rubbish...

Couple of days ago, Leeds tore West Brom apart but then 5 vs 0 is nothing...

The Aston Villa that looks good now didn't even fare as well as Leeds when they returned to the EPL last season...They're doing quite well considering they just got promoted. It doesn't cost anything to praise them for it.

We can see the hypocrisy is 12K. It's a phucking disgrace

Lmao you people are not complaining about how the players were giving the ball away in dangerous positions or how the keeper couldn't keep the ball out, but it's Biesla that's the problem. If it was Ole, the players will be the one to blame. Amazing

obonujoker:
This one Tottenham is chasing us at the back, I'm not liking it o

What about Tottenham is giving you this vibe?

olabode89:
I meant guaranteed 100M for participating/surviving in the EPL. Villa have got wealthy owners, Grealish is a boyhood Villa fan, and he got a new improved contract at the beginning of the season so there is no pressure on Villa to sell him.

Ok I get

Good for him then. He should stay there

KingAlabi:
I won't support change his position again though
Let him have that LW
He deserves it.

I agree he deserves it. I wish I know what he's doing about his decision making though

handelex:


#OleMustGo
#OleOut

I lie ni?

Lana1:
You no dey blame player but we know how you dey always blame manager for here when na players dey obviously fück up so no dey disguise.

You sure say na me? When was that?

olabode89:
Immediately they survived relegation there was no way Villa would have sold him for 50M. Football is business, why sell a player for 50M when he can help you survive relegation so you can earn a guaranteed 100M??

Guaranteed 100m? Unless outside England, I'm curious about which club will be mad enough to drop that

patrickmuf:
He has raised his game to new heights and he is also benefitting from playing with better players like Watkins, Traore, Barkley etc...Another key for them is McGinn playing deeper in midfield, his passing ability is top notch...

The big question is whether he'll reproduce same form playing in a high pressure environment...

How solid has McGinn been this season in that defensive role? Won't he be a more significant addition than Grealish? Our major challenges this season is scoring goals and keeping a tight defense. Grealish looks like a creator, not a finisher which is what we need most. We don't have problem creating chances

Pogba's performance has gone up a notch in the last one month. Looks like this rotation is doing him some great good

Lana1:
Ok then. You sef no complain if na Ole fück up

I hardly complain about any player here. I did that in the past but I have learned to ignore some excesses and look at the overall performance. But let Fred miss a pass or some other player they have sworn never to see any good or the role they play in the team do something, we know those that will be up in arms immediately.

melodyogonna:
Lmao, it's hard to be constructive when you attack players at every opportunity especially when the team is not playing. Take Trevor's agenda against Bruno for example

Exactly what I'm talking about. It goes round

melodyogonna:
Yeah lol, but we really suffered under Perraira, who's alternative was Lingard dfkm

I'm happy that we have people stepping up when he's not delivering until he turns up with an assist or goal

melodyogonna:
I'm all for constructive criticism, not selective hate for some and selective amnesia for others.

Tbh what you call constructive criticism is not holding everyone to the same standards

Lana1:
If the player makes an error, who should we blame before?

We should trust the process and excuse the errors.

KingAlabi:
Rashford is a cut and shot kind of guy

How will he do that with his left?

He did that against Wolves. He does not need to gum the right side. He can drift slightly inwards to receive the ball. He's a brilliant chap and with the right guidance, adapt to a high level of expectations

But on a more serious note, Bruno gets too many praises lol.

melodyogonna:
Good morning. Quick reminder to always support your manager and your team.

Today is January 2nd which means Ole has yet survived another December, damn!! December this year then perhaps?

I hope you won't be calling out any player when the team hits rough patch o? Because most of those that want to take responsibilities off the manager are quick to call out players over errors

sokeril:
don't be deceived by the scoreline..their goal keeper was the one who made the game close with those saves....united deserved the win..another day this comfortably ends 3-1 or 4-1

I watched the first half before I slept off. The game was too close and that's because we were turning the ball over easily.

Our quick play makes for great counter and looking more likely that out team is set up this way against any decent team. But poor decisions kill most of the counters even before they become threatening and it's frustrating to watch. It's almost like we turn over the ball easily and then put pressure on our defenders to win the ball back because our attackers hardly ever win any ball back or apply any decent pressure

SyIvalord:
We get 13 points, we top the league

Not if we don't beat lfc and they don't lose any of their matches too

olabode89:
Lol... I like your confidence!!!

All very winnable matches. I can't wait o

olabode89:
Our other EPL games this month are tough o

Burnley A. 12/1

Liverpool. A. 17/1

Fulham. A. 20/1

Sheffield. Utd. H. 27/1

Assanal A. 30/1


10 to 12 pts should be the minimum target.

Lol what's tough here na?

KingAlabi:
Won't we be playing rashford out of position again ?

He would be making the runs into the box from the right

afrodoc2:
I am a convert. If Pogba goes buy Grealish.

Maybe Pogba should just go and Grealish in
