It was fun being title contenders for...uh...a week? grin cheesy

We are back to reality.. Dominated and outplayed by a grealishless aston fvcking villa. There is no amount of good vibes and culture that Ole Gollum the failure can bring to the club that will outweigh tactical acumen.

If you can't get your team to play well until the 2nd half of games while in your 3rd season, you are a shit coach!!

The crazy thing is if brentford can pull off a miracle, we're all still level on points..

We are playng the shittiest out of all the top four teams right now though.

Fvck you Ole Gollum

Nobody should Bleep.ing mention Greenwood. He did not have any clear cut chance. Every chance he got, he fought through it. No ball was created on the plate for him. Nobody should blame a 19 year old for a old team stupidity
Greenwood was pure excreta today.

He’s young so there’s plenty of room for improvement and we can hope he’s not near his peak yet. Everything he did today was awful.

If he was a bit selfless, United could have scored few goals. He was just shooting blind hoping one of them would deflect into the net.

Why does Ole start McFred?

It's not like they protect the defense so well as we still dey opened up easily. Won't it be better if he sacrificed one of them for a more creative midfielder?

Ole is a big time fraud...
If Ole manages United against a 5th division team in Togo, he must still use 2 holding midfielders. The problem starts with the tactics and the poor use of the players at his disposal.

It’s going to be a long winter. I wouldn’t even blame or troll Bruno today. He’s bailed United in the past and that was a match we didn’t deserve to draw. It was shit for 90 mins.

Ole made his first tactical change in the 80th minute. Any other manager would have ringed the changes at half time. Ole is the worst manager in the history of this great club.

Team looks disjointed. No sign of Manager's tactical influence on the Team play. Fúck Ole fúck his Fans and whoever won't pull trigger on him.
Fred is the reason United didn’t concede more than a goal. He must have won the ball more than 12 times. What did McTominay offer?

Ole rested all these boys against West Ham only to lose again at home. It shows you he has no tactics. I remember telling Raumdeuter that Ole is the cog in the wheels of United’s progress.

From here on in, watch him use every presser to drive home his point that we are struggling because teams sit back. Next, his fans will turn on the Glazers asking that Ole should be supported to get certain type of players...
Ole is a con man.

He always seems to find solutions only after the damage has been done.

Before the season: I am happy with the squad. Football is easy when you have good players in the squad. The owners have done very well, I couldn’t ask for more from them. We have a team that can challenge on all fronts.

During the season: We struggle against low block teams. We don’t have target men we can sling crosses to when the opponents operate in a low block.

If he knew this all along, why didn’t he find a solution in the summer?? This is another wasted season. Ole looks like a man that wants to please everyone. He’s so happy at the job that he doesn’t want to upset the owners so he plays both sides - at the expense of the the club’s glory.

His day of reckoning is here soon though - I don’t see him surviving what Karma has in store for him in the coming weeks.

For Netflix, you can get a free access for one month with a new email every time. You register, put your card details and as soon as you are in, you cancel your subscription so they don’t take your money after 30 days.

Now that the TW has closed, maybe you're right but is "activity forming" the best we can boast of?..We probably have the worst midfield combo in McFred when compared with other top four clubs honestly..

For VDB, I'm surprised Fred benches him honestly because I watched him during that season they had an amazing UCL run not forgetting that 4-4 they played with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge..
But you were here when all and sundry were screaming for an elite DM in the summer but Ole thought otherwise. Every man and his dog knows McFred isn’t the gold standard but Ole seems to be ok with the combination.

patrickmuf:
Most often than not, we face teams that sit back thus we need midfielders who are adept at picking a pass, retaining possession either by their smart passing and movement or their dribbling abilities...One of McFred should do for majority of our games. When we come up against top opponents, I have no qualms with them starting but not when are expected to dominate a game.
Top opponents are only 8 games out of the 38 league games in a season. McFred should be a counter attacking strategy at best. The two have loads of energy to soak the pressure and launch a counter attack as soon as Fred wins the ball(which he does a lot more) than any other midfielder in the club.

Ole’s dishonesty is what irks. He was fine with the squad in the summer. He simply said the Glazers have blessed him with great players and he couldn’t ask for more from them.

After losing the game last night, Ole told MUTV “We're not great when we play against a low block and just sling crosses in because we're not that type of team. We didn't have those types of players.". In other words, he knew we are shit against low block teams but he refused to fix the problem in the transfer window by either getting a deep lying playmaker or sign a plan B player like Fellaini.

Ole is a fraud.

Honestly, when this OGS insists on McFred, I'll wonder if he never played with quality midfielders..

For someone who played with Keane and Scholes, his midfield choice baffles me undecided
McFred is the best combination we have. Even though it falls short of the gold standard, it’s our best combo in that midfield.

Fred gets a lot of criticism but his defensive side is criminally underrated. It is what he does with the ball that people flog him with, no one remembers how he puts himself about and constitutes a nuisance to the opposition attacks.

Matic has a brain but his legs are gone. I am yet to see VDB perform in that role at a top level so the jury is a bit out on him. That said, I doubt he can be as hardworking as Fred in that role. If only one could put Carrick’s brain in Fred’s head.

Same Ferguson lose against some team very early in cup round example Southend in 2006. Abeg, cut Ole some slack, this is the first time he is going out from a national cup competition very early.
How many trophies had Ferguson won in 2006 before losing to Southend?

SAF had won multiple league titles, back to back titles, the treble, plenty of domestic cups and even intercontinental cups.

You want me to cut Ole(zero credits in the bank) some slack. Ferguson, Klopp, Wenger, Pep, etc are credit worthy managers. One could pardon their shocking results because they have won plenty of stuff in the past.

What has Ole won? Why should we continue to have faith in someone that is yet to win something? The aforementioned managers can be excused. They had done it before. There’s a sign that if the stars align well, they could pull it off again.

Where is the precedent that Ole can win any trophy?

Sancho was meant to be the no 1 RW
Sancho will come through.

Just get another manager. I am surprised a lot of people are focusing on the line up when the only reason we lost was because of the low intensity and the snail pace at which we play.

Ole’s style of play is too slow, laborious. The only time you see pace in that team is when they are counter attacking. You watch the other teams in the top 4 and they all play as if they needed a goal in injury time.

By the time the ball gets to Sancho, he’s surrounded by 2-3 markers. That’s not the way he played at Dortmund. Dortmund plays at a very high intensity with a very quick build up. The sooner you get this fraud sacked, the better for our players.

They were also reminded about how Italy couldn't even qualify for Euro 92 despite having Milan dominate what is now the Champions league and Parma & Juve were contesting all European finals in the mid 90s. The line has gone dead.

All to justify grin why that midget male Nkiru Sylvanus is failing to score from a deflected tap-in in the European version of the Benenois Championship.
Barcelona won CL in 92
Red Star Belgrade won it in 91.

This is poppycock.
And you are the one who gets discombobulated by simple questions.
I asked you to tell me if every player in each position in that English team are the best in those same positions in the EPL.
There’s no relevance in this question when the team that won the Euros didn’t line up every position with the best player in Serie A. If they could win it without the best players in each position in their league, how come England couldn’t? grin cheesy

TheLequte:
Cos you were using the English team to judge the EPL. Your argument was along the lines of “the National team is the only metric to judge a league.”
You are wrong. It is a very illogical view. The English national team is not a reflection of the English league.
Another daft inference.

I said the best league in the world should be producing the best national team. A = B doesn’t necessarily infer B = A. All squares are rectangles doesn’t mean all rectangles are squares.

TheLequte:
If not, why is Maguire not the best CB in the English league?
If you think Maguire isn’t the best CB in the league, why the hell are you then using him as the standard for the EPL?? FFS.
Spinazolla isn’t the best left back in Serie A as well and yet Italy won the World Cup. The conditions that you are putting up as a drawback for England is universal for the other teams.

Immobile cannot clean the shoes of Ronaldo, Lautaro, Lukaku or even Zlatan and yet Italy didn’t use that as an excuse to win the Euros so why are you so particular about Maguire?

TheLequte:
And that is the nonsense talk we’re going to beat out of you.

Who was responsible for the tactics deployed that night?
Wasn't it Southgate?
Southgate was the reason the players of the best league in the world cannot pass the ball accurately?
Even if Southgate asked his boys to defend or park the bus for 2 hours, did he also ask them to also give the ball away as often as England did that night?

hoopLA:
So how then are you blaming players chosen by the same Southgate for sitting back?
When England was winning, it was the brilliance of Shaw, the dominance of Maguire and the killer instinct of Kane. When they got battered in the final, yeah - it was Southgate’s fault.

Going by your logic,we should also imply that Coquelin and the other PL reject who played for Villareal in Midfield in the Europa League final are world class as well.
I failed to understand how you arrived at this illogical conclusion. What have Coquelin and the other PL rejects gotta do with England’s inability to win a competition in 55 years?

hoopLA:
And judging from your impeccable logic,we could also infer as well that Spain became an elite nation in 2008 after failing to win anything from 1968, since national team success and league rankings go hand in hand.
Finally, you got the point but your method of getting there or your logical translation of Spain’s success is flawed.

You should notice the emergence of Barcelona as the best club from the best league in Europe also coincided with Spain’s longest spell of success. Spain won Euro 2008, World Cup 2010 and Euro 2012.

This had a lot to do with Barca’s 2006 CL victory and most especially Pep’s Barcelona from 2008 Summer to 2013 summer. That is a classic example of the best league contributing to the best national team.

hoopLA:
Ditto for Pirtugal who should've be the European version of the Cape Verdian League since they had't won anything at senior level till 2016,but is somehow ranked above the French League with 2 world cups and 2 Euros.
Portugal winning the Euros was a fluke. This is the reason they couldn’t sustain their success in the following World Cup or successfully defending their European championship title this summer.


hoopLA:
Somehow, you concluded that the best national team should be Italy over a seven game stretch in one month in a competition that was last held 5 years ago,despite Italy not even qualifying for the last World cup.

Lol
I didn’t conclude the best national team should be Italy. That A = B does not necessarily mean B = A. I said the best league in the world should produce the best national team. It does not necessarily infer the best national team has the best league. Any national team can win a competition(via fluke: cue Portugal, Greece, etc) but can they sustain the success like Spain did?

It was you that had the logic reversed, don’t put that on me.

The PL has been beating their chest as the best league in the world for the last 20 years and yet there’s nothing to show for it. England hasn’t won any trophy in 55 years. Ask yourself why the league many people think is the best cannot produce top indigenous players that can represent England to win international competitions.

Spain owed their success from 2008 to 2012 to La Liga being the best league in the world. Barcelona/Madrid players made up 98% of that Spanish side that went on to destroy all the teams put before them. Del Bosque even had to mirror Barca’s tiki taka in the national team to get the best out of the players and it worked.

Stop comparing that level of success to Italy, Greece or Portugal winning a one off competition and failing to defend their title in the next international competition. Spain won 3 competitions in a row to exert their total dominance. That’s the kind of level of success I expect from a country that has “the best league in Europe”.

Lol. Chief.
That’s just one of the inconsistent things you mentioned.
England scored early but decided to sit back.
Why did they decide to sit back? Remember, these English players are all world class, playing for some of the top clubs in the PL.

The England back 4 at the Euros was Man City(RB) Man City(CB), Man Utd(CB), Man Utd(LB) - all these players played in the final of UEFA competitions at club level few weeks before the Euros.

So why did England sit back against part-time farmers from Italian league? Scoring a goal early should have gingered Southgate and his boys to go out and get more. Shaw scored within the first 2 mins in the final - why didn’t that easy goal inspire the team to get more goals? grin

England didn’t try getting more because they knew they would be dismembered by the Italian side. They knew the goal was just a fluke and they would lose emphatically if they got out of their shell to get more goals.

England manager knew the Italians(Serie A dudes aka Farmers ) were technically superior.


TheLequte:
Tell me every player in each position in that English team are the best in those same positions in the EPL and we can end this disco.
This is a ridiculous point. cool

Every player in each position in that English team were the best English players in their respective positions- likewise Italy.

Lukaku, Ronaldo, Zlatan, Dybala, Lautaro Martinez, etc also played in Serie A last season and they didn’t represent Italy at the Euros.

Therefore, the Serie A players that represented Italy at the Euros weren’t also the best players in their positions in Serie A.

TheLequte:
Cos that’s what you think. And that’s how you judge the EPL. And you are freaking wrong.
That’s the only metric one can use. The best league should be producing the best national team especially when there’s now a mandatory quota for home grown players.

However, England with their most prestigious league hasn’t been able to win any trophy at the national team level in more than 50 years. Maybe, just maybe the league isn’t as strong as reported by the hyperbolic British media.


TheLequte:
A huge proportion of the best European teams play in England. Even the Italian team you’re bigging up has a number of players from the EPL.
grin grin grin
Chief. You are wrong on that narrative.
English league is the richest and its a natural reaction for players to follow the money. Wan Bissaka earns £90,000 a week and cannot trap the ball with a single touch.

The average European player is looking at him and ringing his agent to get him to the PL as soon as possible. The easiest places to make money on the planet always have the largest draw of people. This is why Lagos is hyper-populated in Nigeria. It’s where the money is.
