In my own VIEW
I said that OGS won't be judged by winning the league
But if we have a shot at it, then come on.

Having a good run at the league will help the team improve especially in mentality and prepare the team for the pressure of title chase come next season. It's a good exercise

codedguy1:
Everybody been don settle for draw soup

Mehn I couldn't see any goal in the game. We were not even bombarding their defense enough

Lana1:
Omo. I don join the "we can win the league team".

It will be difficult with our shaky defence but hope dey.

I believe we will find solution to the shaky defense as the season progresses

Lana1:
Even when he picks a knock, he is always ready to run.

One could tell that he was gassed out, but let there be a ball over the top, he will chase it

afrodoc2:
Will the statue wear pant?

If it will be erected in Germany, then don't expect any pant o. Those people are shameless

Lana1:
This is the closest we've been to the top of the league since 2013.

Time to go climb mountain tomorrow. Liverpool must fumble.

I thought we were told to remove ourselves from any title race o

codedguy1:
When the ball enter, for a second I no believe am.

Same here. It wasn't until I saw them celebrating that it dawned on me that na inside net o

The players did well to handle the threat of Wolves. I think Ole got his selection and tactics spot on. After trying a thousand ball over the top, 1 finally came through

Lana1:
Rashford is always at the right place. Always.

With him in the team, Pogba and Bruno will be happy because he's always ready to make that run

nitrogen:
Rubbish game, 2 points in 2 games is not good abeg, we are not Chelsea na

Be calming down

Our attack is just meh. Where's this goal going to come from o?

Expert17:
That shot was straight at DDG, anything anything can score him this days sha

Lmao

CapitalCee:
Who told you? We nealry conceded with that Saiss chance

That was straight at DDG. True it was a good chance, but if it had gone in, it won't be because it was some great shot. DDG has no business letting that ball through

melodyogonna:
What's going on, I checked stats. Wolves get 4 shots on target while we have one, abi two?

None of those shots was threatening, relax

SyIvalord:
When both are available, of course the senior players will be considered first. Unless the youth players show something exceptional in training.

Correct

Recent history has shown that we always freeze when expected to get a result that puts us in a better position. I'm hoping for a solid, convincing win today

SyIvalord:
Na the koko be that. Availability. In the past two seasons, when has Rojo been available? That is why I said some of those kids will get a chance to play before he does because they will be available and he will not.

I thought the premise of our discussion was if the fringe senior players and the youngsters are both fit and available

SyIvalord:
That’s if those senior players show that they deserve to play. Some of those kids will play before someone like Rojo plays

You think if we're trying to see out a game and we need to defend a lead or secure a point, Ole will throw in mengi ahead of Rojo if both are available?

Leyqute:
I don’t think those kids have the strength to play in the PL yet. Brandon Williams who did got the nod and was a starter. Then his game went to shit and he’s been frozen out again.

His game didn't really go to shit. The team lost form and were struggling. Put him in a thriving team, and he'll do better

Leyqute:
Agreed. Cavani can’t be a starter because of his injuries. So, Martial. No kid has impressed enough to start at CF.

Well it will take a kinda Greenwood breakthrough to keep those youngsters up. I hope they're able to deliver when they get the chance

timay:
Exactly.

It's the same reason Ole dropped a better RB in Williams in the absence of Wan Bissaka just to be playing Fosu Mensah and Tuanzebe at RB ahead of Williams, just because of seniority.

Last season, even when Lingard and Perreira were dropping disaster class, Angel and Chong were never considered like that. Any youth player stepping up will have to make a very good first impression

SyIvalord:
The fixture schedule is crazy so I am sure they will get first team playing time this season. Maybe not all of them though.

There are many senior players that will play first before those youngsters get more than a handful of first team opportunities

Leyqute:
If you impress and prove that you can be depended upon, he’ll ease you into the starting XI.

Who has proven himself this season more between Cavani and Martial? Not to talk about some youngsters. I trust Ole to try to protect them as much as he can. The only way they're staying in the team is if they deliver a very compelling first impression

DeadPresidents:
Remember this season? I christened it, the philosopher's tomb

That season was hell. I either wanted to blow my brains out. The football was mind-numbingly monotonous, laboured and soul-wrenching.

I'm pleased that these days, we only argue about personnel for matches and trivialities like, "we concede too much these days".

Dark times, those were.

I lost interest in football that period.

SyIvalord:
Facundo Pellistri, Ethan Laird, Anthony Elanga, Shola Shoretire and Will Fish are all training with the first team. Is their time near?

Lol you actually think Ole will give these guys playing time? In which competition?

handelex:
That's why I said I don't like extreme takes. It's just like the far right and the far left, no side wants to listen to the other. They always take up an extreme position. Both the statement Eph12 replied to and his reply are from 2 extreme ends and both are not correct.

That statement was extreme and didn't make sense. I'm always inclined to give you back as you drop it. No vex

handelex:
This doesn't make any sense at all. That's why I don't like extreme takes, the arguments tends to be misconstrued and misunderstood .

You'll be fine

elrony:
Ahswearugad mehn!!!

As in ehn

Karleb:
Of course you are right.

By next season, our target should be the UCL else it's #OleOUT.

Let's finish this season first

ChristineC:
yeah but to be fair his price is well under €10m so it's a low risk business.
from his clips though, any player who has mobility and is strong on the ball has already given himself a pretty chance to succeed in the EPL. he's numbers are good for Ecuador as well. I think it's 4G/A in 4 apps.

Pepe used to be strong on the ball in those YouTube clips back then o

Leyqute:
Mourinho cannot win the league wirh his football mentality. Horrible football. Invites lots of pressure and deservedly concedes. Rubbish.

I'm glad he's not getting the results he wants

Karleb:
We've had this argument before now!

The only set of people who think we can challenge and win EPL are the OleOutters. This is have something to continue their #OleOUT campaign by the end of the season if Ole doesn't win the league.


Maybe we can challenge for the title but a true football fan knows it will take a big miracle for Man United to win the league this year. Unless you are just insincere with yourself.
...and this is football, What You See Is What You Get. No one has ever won one with miracle.

Imagine a team that played 14 games and conceded 23 goals wants to win the league whereas our mates are keeping 10 clean sheets already.

Me I sha don't know how the coward and defeatist key words tally with what the situation on ground.

And the oleinners don't want Manchester United anywhere any trophy so Ole won't be seen as someone that has failed. We understand
