This is all they do in training everyday and you expect them to play well?!

Cc Illimitable

Don’t worry, his day of reckoning is close.

Messi could have had a hat trick tonight.

What is wrong with these PSG players?

They have no respect for their seniors.

That was how that Bruno robbed Ronaldo of a penalty kick and missed as well. Mbappe fluffed his lines too after robbing Messi of a penalty kick.

Griezmann red card

It reminds me of the Nani one against Madrid in 2013.

nitrogen:
Mahn, the way Atleti plays ehn, chai, I hope we can do half of what they do on the pitch. See movements and speed from their players

They are La Liga champions, what do you expect?

These are elite managers - you can see the way their players are drilled and going after every ball like they are playing in injury time.

With Ole, it’s insipid display. His players don’t even run to hustle the ball back. Ole has no tactical plan or set up. He just relies on Bruno to fashion out something.

Mrviktor:
I prefer we beat Liverpool.. That will calm fans for at least one month..

If Liverpool catch Ole with their current mood at Atletico as we speak, Ole could be sacked on Monday.

Jamie Carragher(a Scouser for that matter) hit the nail on its head last night - with some hard truths that many Olesexuals are failing to admit.

He said what many of us here have been saying for months……

Carragher is a United legend.

Oasis007:
Solskjær: "Every team will go through a patchy period, we are in one now, we know that — the coaching staff we have got is absolutely amazing, the attention to detail, training sessions, preparations. I don't think I could ask for better."

Absolutely amazing
Attention to details
Training sessions
Preparations

Yet, his team can’t build attacks from the back.

Where’s Oasis007?

Any nuggets from Ole’s press conference?

I am sure he’s there smiling and uttering daft comments all over again.

ChristoBam:
God forbid abeg. Na Europa league tings be that na.

If it will get Ole out of the club, I don’t mind. It’s just one season of banter and mocking from our rivals.

We will get an elite manager and win everything next season.

Sometimes, you have to make sacrifices to edge further. Sometimes, you have to lose to win.

LostMyZeal:


Oh you really see through the nauseating hypocrisy, eh?

They can protect Ole all they want,but the players will sack him for us

His miserable days are numbered

Neville’s credibility is now zero.

LostMyZeal:

His miserable days are numbered

The hypocrisy is grating. He doesn’t have to call for Ole’s sacking but at least say the truth. How is he a pundit or a club legend if he’s putting his friendship with Ole before the club he claims to support.

History will not forget this saga.

Searchingvictor:
Game wey he suppose for 1st match, e go lose. Assuming he won, we fit sacrifice Atalanta, to hasten the sack. But, wetin man go wish for naw.

Atalanta are a better team than Leicester, Aston Villa or Young Boys. Debarring any accident like an early red card or penalty, they should pump Ole. They don’t need our help to beat Ole.

Joezinho:
I heard the failed Gollum is whining man utd failed to sign a midfielder. That man is cursed.
Even Pep who's been backed to the hilt didn't get the striker he wanted this summer. He just got on with it, turned Ferran Torres into a false 9 which worked well and they're comfortably in a title race.

Liverpool fans were kicking off this summer about the lack of signings and their fans were genuinely worried about United overtaking them again long term. Did Klopp whine about it? No. He got on with it and they look a frightening team right now.

When Tuchel came in last season, they didn't have a single competent goalscorer. Their highest goalscorer was their PK taker Jorginho with something like 7 goals. Did he complain about it and say wait until I get a striker next season? No. He dragged Chelsea back into a CL place in the league and won the CL itself.

That's what elite managers do. Thats the difference between top managers and Ole. They find solutions whilst Ole finds problems to mask his own deficiencies.

Pay no mind to that Norwegian fraud.

He was the one that signed Donny Van De Beek into a squad that was already struggling to fit in Pogba, Lingard, Bruno, Matic, Fred and McSauce into a 3 man midfield.

After signing Donny, he’s refused to play him. Donny even went as far as branding himself as a defensive midfielder to get minutes under Ole, yet Ole refused to play him.

Donny’s agent made a move to join Everton in the summer and the useless Ole blocked the move. If he had allowed Donny to move, the money would have gotten Ole a Bissouma or a Camavinga signing.

He won’t play Donny and yet he won’t allow Donny to move and get money to buy the kind of midfielder he wants. Now he has the audacity to be whining about one midfielder he didn’t get.

If you get him that midfielder in January, he would make yet another excuse. The man is a failure and I am happy the pressure is finally on his shoulders. If he gets beat by Atalanta and Liverpool, I expect his sacking by end of the month.

LostMyZeal:
Abeg oh...is there a reason they refer to this silly G.Neville as a Legend?

And if he's a legend, then legend of where

It can't be a coincidence that fans of other clubs are saying Ole should be given time na. Naah, it can't be

They're probably enjoying Ole's moonwalk progression

You dey go back, but e be like say you dey go front

Neville is a hypocrite, the worst type. He has lost all credibility with the fans. United fans are now sick of him. It’s a disgrace that Carragher has now overtaken him in punditry.

Gary Neville is a club owner - he has sacked at least 4 managers in recent times including Richie Wellens that won him the EFL trophy and yet he’s asking United to keep Ole who has underperformed for 3 years straight.

To be fair to him, he never asked for the sacking of Jose or LVG. So his criticism isn’t really about asking for Ole’s sack, the criticism is moving the goalposts for Ole and lowering the standards of this great club.

When Mourinho had the worst defensive unit ever to play for United, Neville demanded Mourinho must win the league in his 3rd season. Now, he’s saying winning a domestic cup or Europa cup and a top 4 finish is a successful season for Ole(after 3 seasons).

The other nonsense he uttered was that United hired world class coaches in the past and they failed - so Ole should be kept. Now the question is this. How did Mourinho fail after winning Carling cup and Europa Cup but Ole would be successful if he wins a domestic cup and Europa cup?

The problem with pundits like Neville is that they talk too much that they begin to contradict themselves. Mourinho failed by winning 2 cups with the worst squad in recent memories but Ole should be considered a success if he wins those same cups with a superior team?

Before Ronaldo was signed, Neville actually insisted that if Man Utd signed Harry Kane, United would outrightly win the league. United had completed the transfers of Sancho and Varane by then. United did him better by signing the greatest goal scorer on the planet(Ronaldo), Neville is now saying a top 4 finish should be considered a successful season.

When Ole gets sacked and arrested, Neville should be thrown into jail with him. They can continue their friendship in Pentonville Prison. Gary Neville is the most useless member of the class of 92. I used to think Scholes was the worst, but Neville has surpassed him.

Their mates(Zidane, Vieira, Pep, etc) are all on the touchline trying their hands in football management while the class of 92 cult sit behind giant screens and make dreadful opinions, protect their idiotic Norwegian PE teacher. Carragher is more of a United legend than Neville will ever be for us - and Carragher never even kicked a ball for United.

Gary Neville can do one.

elampiro:
You still don't get me. I am saying Mourinho will not do well with a young team now. Even if you give Mourinho this team, he will not fly. His best players will be Lingard and Bissaka. Even McTominay will get ahead of Bruno and Pogba.

Mourinho should be coaching Cameroon

What is young about the team that has Ronaldo, Cavani, Pogba, Lingard, Varane, Matic, Fred, Mata, Lee Grant, etc?

This is a classic Mourinho squad. A mixture of youths and old heads. That Ole is intellectually useless to make this team greater than the sum of its parts isn’t Mourinho’s fault.

Ronaldo plays for Portugal and has scored plenty of goals for them. Does he press and chase the ball like a dog for Portugal? How does their coach still manage to get the best out of him and make him productive?

A player as deadly as Ronaldo shouldn’t be pressing. Ronaldo/Messi have both earned the rights not to press anyone. There are still 9 other outfield players who can do the pressing.

Using that as an excuse is just irresponsible from these idiotic British journalists to excuse Ole. United lost twice to Leicester last season without Ronaldo. Nobody blamed the lack of pressing as the reason for the losses.

Give this team to Mourinho and he will win all the domestic titles in the country this season.

Joezinho:
What’s really really concerning is the strength of opposition is about to leap up with Liverpool, City, Chelsea coming soon plus a resurgent Arsenal..This is going to get ugly. Well, uglier.

Pep Guardiola started managing Barcelona B in 2008.
Ole Gollum the serial failure started managing United Academy in 2008.

Yet some olesexuals won't stop conflating Ole's lack of ability for inexperience.

Right now, it all feels very Moyes at the moment. At least under Jose Mourinho we had direction...
At the moment, we’re directionless.

Even Moyes won community shield.

Ole Gollum is just a sad case. He smiles and he’s brought happiness back to the club. There’s positivity at Old Trafford and the players are happy.

You would think Man Utd is a concentration camp trying desperately to improve their HR with all these stupid job description.

The main job of a manager is to win games that lead to trophies. Who cares if the players are happy? Any player unhappy at making £200k/week should leave the club.

Joezinho:
Keeping up with Ole Gollum for the rest of the season is pure insanity.

Ole Gollum is going to completely waste the season..

If this incompetent board that give renewals like candy don’t try to salvage something of this season then we are truly fvcked..

It’s insanity for those that expect any good result from him, I don’t.

Your heart can’t be broken when you don’t expect anything from anyone.

Ole is a failure - give him the current Bayern team and he would finish 5th in Bundesliga.

raumdeuter:
Thats why top clubs are after Pep and the likes of Spurs and Roma are the ones interested in Mourinho

Madrid begged Mourinho twice, he turned them down.

Real Madrid is bigger than any football club Pep can ever manage.

End of discussion!

raumdeuter:
Hart was so good that Torino rejected him
Sagna landed in benevento
Clichy landed in Basaksehir
Mangala landed where? Loaned all over Europe
Zabaleta was even rejected at West Ham

They all reached CL semis before Pep’s arrival, they won the league a season before Pep arrived.

It took Pep 4 years to get to a CL semi with almost £800m spent. Pellegrini achieved more than Pep at City with these players including a debut PL title.

Pep’s elite coaching couldn’t take CL semifinalists to a step above. He’s the most fraudulent manager in the history of the game.

obonujoker:
How did Pep improve fernadinho but couldn't improve young iheanachor, Navas, Nasri, Clichy, Negredo etc?

Please don’t forget Hart, Sagna, Clichy, Kolarov, Mangala, Nolito, Bravo, Zabaleta.

elampiro:
When Mourinho won the UCL at Inter, what were the ages of the players? What were the ages of Chelsea regular players? Go and check and you see old men like Makalele, Essien, Ballack, Lampard, Maicon, Eto, etc

What were the ages of the players he inherited? He won the UCL a year after he joined Inter.

You mean Mourinho should have sacked all the players he inherited at Inter and sign a bunch of Elangas and Greenwoods to replace them?

raumdeuter:
Man City spent big, Man Utd spent big. City won big Man utd failed

I thought you said it was elite coaching that gave Pep the edge, not the money.

United didn’t spend big. Mourinho signed a total of 11 players throughout his stay at United, Zlatan was even a free transfer out of the 11.

Pep on the other hand signed 22 players in his first two seasons. Add that to the quality he met on ground

raumdeuter:
Mourinho that was bantering with failed coaches like Gary Neville and Thierry Henry in Skystudios before Spurs was the one Madrid begged?

Why are you triggered that Madrid wanted Mourinho? The Spurs offer came after his appearances for SkySports and BEIN Sports. When Madrid learnt he was going to Spurs, they offered him £12m to wait until Zidane’s contract was expired.

So the offer didn’t come while he was in SkySports, it came when Daniel Levy offered him a new contract. Another offer came in 2021 when Zidane finally left.

He’s Mourinho - he will always be in high demand.

raumdeuter:
Barcelona that was shopping for free players, No wonder they hijacked Memphis, Aguero and Eric Garcia, Eric that was like 6th CB for City is currently a starter at Barcelona. Braithwaite and LuukDejong are Barcelonas attackers competing with Aguero

So why didn’t they sign Morgan Schneiderlin?

raumdeuter:
Mourinho broke the EPL record for a midfielder, broke the EPL record for a striker, yet was always double digits from Pep every season. In Addition to Mikitaryan Baily Lindelof Dalot and others. First season he even finished 6th, before he was sacked, he was 6th.

Yep, if you bought a £400 pair of shoes, you have spent more money than your friend that bought 100 shoes at £120 each.

After all, £400 is bigger than £120.

Weird logic!

raumdeuter:
Madrid begged Mourinho but he preferred to join Skysport studio with Gary Neville and co? You really believe that

They begged him not to take the Spurs job and wait till Zidane completes his contract. They offered him £12m for that but Mourinho wanted the job ASAP.

After Zidane left and Mourinho had already signed for Roma, they went back to beg him again for the job before considering Ancelotti.

Ancelotti finished 10th in the PL last season, way below Spurs. So if it’s about performance or whatever you are trying to say, the job should have gone to Ole or Lampard.

If you really think elite managers like Jose or Ancelotti would run out of big jobs after their respective illustrious careers, then you don’t understand football dynamics. Their legacy is set forever and the uselessness of the board they worked under cannot tarnish what they have built.

Mourinho is bigger than football. He’s the special one!

raumdeuter:
Aguero was only able to join a decrepit Barcelona whose best layer is Memphis Depay. Current Barcelona is like Everton. Schneiderlin had to battle Pogba and Kante for the French team that was loaded in midfield

The question begs how this decrepit Barcelona didn’t throw a punt at Schneiderlin.

Morgan now plays for Nice. It seems like he’s found his level.

raumdeuter:
Aguero was only able to join a decrepit Barcelona whose best layer is Memphis Depay. Current Barcelona is like Everton. Schneiderlin had to battle Pogba and Kante for the French team that was loaded in midfield

If he was world class and coveted by most PL clubs, how come he couldn’t battle Pogba, Kante, Matuidi, etc for a place?

raumdeuter:
Mourinho had Shaw, Had Herrera yet did not finish close to Pep any season. They were not finishing above because of the quality of coaching at Man Utd, You were using Moyes LvG, Mourinho and Ole. That is the problem not the quality of players.

So it’s got nothing to do with Pep spending £300m on his defence? Pep binned Zabaleta, Hart, Sagna, Clichy, Kolarov, Mangala and Demichelis and got £50m defenders. He even managed to sign Claudio Bravo and binned him instantly after his debut season failed.

Meanwhile, Jose was forced to play ex-wingers like Young and Valencia as full backs till he left United. The only defensive signings he got were rookies(Bailly, Dalot and Lindelof) while Pep was signing top class defenders.

How you can even say in public that a manager that has spent close to a £1 billion in 5 years is using elite coaching to improve his players should have you embarrassed. If Pep’s elite coaching is the key, why didn’t he improve Sagna, Kolarov, Zabaleta, etc

raumdeuter:
Pep is in the CL, Mourinho couldnt even get a CL level club to play in, How many CL seasons has Mourinho played in the last 5? Mourino will soon join Ole and Pirlo as coaches who couldnt win the CL with Ronaldo Mr Champions League worse still Mourinho got peak Ronaldo

That would be the same Jose Mourinho that Madrid(the most successful football club in the world) begged 3 times in a week to take the role of their manager? Do you people even pay attention to the world around you?

raumdeuter:
Schneiderlin was damaged by Mourinho like he did for Mata. Like he almost did for KdB and Salah who had to step down to tier 2 clubs to rebuild their careers

He was damaged by Mourinho

Yet during Euro 2016(few months before Jose started his career at United), Morgan wasn’t picked to kick the ball throughout an entire tournament.

Mourinho damaged him before managing him?

And after he left Mourinho at a peak age of 27, no other big club wanted him this amazing world class player yet Aguero was wanted by Barca at 34, Zlatan still has a career at Milan at 40, Ronaldo still coveted at 36.

Yet, a young Schneiderlin of 27 can’t find a decent club.

Even a dog cannot be convinced of your argument.

raumdeuter:
Shaw was a big money signing for a left back

Shaw was 18, got injured under LVG. It took him almost 3 seasons to recover from his injuries and he’s only had a decent season since.

raumdeuter:
Herrera left Man utd to PSG

Mourinho’s most trusted soldier at United.

raumdeuter:
That was a solid team at par with City which Mourinho failed to improve unlike Pep

If they were at par with City, how come United never finished above them between 2013 and 2016?

raumdeuter:
You see Sterling scoring 20 goals the same Sterling that people used to laugh at pre Pep. Even till date many people can't believe Pep made Sterling look like a semi productive player

Sterling’s improvement is the natural progression of a young player to a mature player. Are we talking about the record breaking Raheem that City paid £50m for in 2015?

Soon enough, you would say it was Pep that spiritually improved Danny Ings that used to be a low scoring player to a highly productive player. Pep can solve every problem in the world except winning CL trophy without Messi.

raumdeuter:
Dante and David Luiz were also part of the 7-1 team demolition plus Fred plus Bernard plus Hulk plus Luis Gustavo how many of these are top class?

Schneiderlin was a big money signing that was coveted by top epl clubs

Shaw was a big money signing for a left back

Herrera left Man utd to PSG

That was a solid team at par with City which Mourinho failed to improve unlike Pep

You see Sterling scoring 20 goals the same Sterling that people used to laugh at pre Pep. Even till date many people can't believe Pep made Sterling look like a semi productive player

Schneiderlin was no big money signing. His transfer was £25m in 2015.

Rio was £30m in 2002. Rooney was £30m in 2004. How the fück is £22m a big money signing in 2015?

Let’s even admit for a second that Mourinho ruined Schneiderlin, how come no top 6 club picked him up after he left United at only 27 years of age?

Why is he now playing for Nice? Even before Jose’s arrival, Deschamps didn’t consider him elite enough to give him a minute of football throughout Euro 2016 tournament.

That’s your big money signing coveted by most EPL clubs. You can only convince yourself that United and City were at par as at the summer of 2016.

They were at par but United never finished once above them in the 3 year period between Fergie’s retirement and Mourinho’s arrival.

Similar strength my ašs!

raumdeuter:
CL is a knockout competition where anything can happen

Lyon 2 seasons ago finished Midtable in France yet made the CL semi.

Rashford was already a breakout star just like Sterling. If Rashford was put on the market he would command similar amount to Sterling. Martial even did despite coming from France without the English player tax

Fernandinho was improved under Pep, only that Mourinho failed to do the same to Schneiderlin

Yaya was as finished as Schweinsteiger. Post City, Yaya landed in Olympiakos where he was sacked in less than a season

Mata was same level with Silva until he ran into Jose Mourinho. We can compare their epl stats

Fernandinho was improved under Pep? The same Fernandinho that was already a household name in Brazil, played every game in 2014 World Cup including the 7-1 decimation by Germany needed Pep to improve.

Meanwhile, the world class Schneiderlin that Mourinho couldn’t develop wasn’t even considered good enough to play a minute throughout Euro 2016(before Mourinho arrived at United).

Revisionism is a cancer on this forum.

elampiro:
1/1000

Of course, giving Debuts to Morata, Nacho, Sarabia, Fabinho, Diego Llorente, Loftus-Cheek, Solanke, cannot count.

Balotelli(19), Mikel Obi(19), Varane(18), Zouma(19), etc didn’t thrive under Jose, they wilted.

Some of you just talk rubbish offered to you by SkySports pundits without doing your own research.

elampiro:
I said Mourinho does not do well with young players, bar his days at Porto

Rubbish assertion when the evidence showed he backed Petr Cech over the fans’ favorite Cudicini in 2004.

Fergie learnt from the experience which prompted him to choose David De Gea over the more experienced GKs to replace Van Der Sar.

I am not convinced you follow football.
