KingAlabi:
I never brought city into the discussion, I said Leicester

Tell me how did Leicester lose to Leeds again?

Leeds aren’t the worst team in the league.

United lost to the worst team in the league at Old Trafford and your excuse is that Leeds(12th) won at Leicester(3rd).


The gap between Leicester and Leeds is way smaller than United and Sheffield. We were on top of the league when Ole surrendered top position like a prostitute to Sheffield United who hadn’t won a single away game all season.

eph12:
He made the right decision ogbeni. Any striker will use Rashford's run as a decoy to create space

That wasn’t the right decision. The keeper was expecting the shot from him with his left foot(his only option).

A decent pass to Rashford would have confused the keeper with Rashford bending a curler to the far post with his right foot.

chrisley024:
But how did we loan out Lingard and left him

Ole’s wisdom.

elampiro:
Twice there was an opportunity to pick his man in the box, but his crosses lacked accuracy

James lack everything but pace.

He should be playing for Brentford FC.

James is a parody.

Man decided to cross into the box with zero United player in the box.

How did we go from Nani to this pile of shit.

Even Bebe wasn’t this bad.....

chrisley024:
Mason has been unlucky

He should be feeding that ball to Rashford.

Horrendous decision making.

Counter attack situation.

James on the ball, 4 United players versus 2 West Ham defenders.

What does James do? Pass the ball behind Bruno.

This is the elite football Ole promised us Lukaku, Sanchez, Young, etc couldn’t play.

Fred should be converted into a dedicated ball winner with a strict instruction to only pass from 5 yards.

Otherwise, United should go and get Ndidi.

Bruno with another assist?

nitrogen:
Lol. Same guys will come here to drop Leeds alertsssss (when the innocent team loses or plays a draw) in a bid to ridicule the efforts of Bielsa.

I don’t know why it makes sense for Sheffield and other useless clubs to get points from us, while it is almost impossible for same teams to collect any from other top 6 teams.

Abeg, where is my beer? let me sip something jare.

Sheffield’s only away win this season was against United - in most big clubs, that is tantamount to a sackable offence.

KingAlabi:
There is one bias I don't like

We brushed aside leeds 5-2 at home
But Leicester lost to them at home

Peter beat obi

Obi beat Paul

E no mean say Peter go beat Paul

Sheffield won’t beat City though.

United lost to the worst team in the league. They scored 4 goals against Ole but we should brush it under the carpet cos Leicester lost to Leeds.

Oasis001:
TB Illimitable..... I hail o.

At 23, Rashford has played 11,656 mins in the PL, started 127 league games.

At 23, Rooney played 7,379 mins in the PL, started only 83 league games.

Rashford was 18 years on his league debut, Rooney was 16 years on his league debut.

One would expect Rooney who started playing for Everton at 16 to have Rashford’s numbers but the reverse is the case.

Oasis001:
I pity as well. I pray we don't run him down completely.

Rashford will retire from football by 27.

MRTA7:
Does that mean that Sheffield's only away win this season was at Old Trafford? Smh

Ole & Maguire blamed the referee for the loss.

Leicester annihilated them with ease - Iheanacho got his first hat trick against them. Losing to Sheffield United at Old Trafford should be a sackable offence.

MRTA7:
Would you give Eric Bailly a new contract?

I would - if the manager would give him more minutes on the pitch. Bailly is easily the best CB at the club but he’s got fitness issues.

I also think Ole has been biased against him even when he has been fit to start games. Ole just puts him on the bench for no reason to build a strong resume for the Swedish lesbīan.

If Ole isn’t going to be playing him when fit, it’s better to let him go to a club that would.

nani667:
#OleOUT

Woodward just handed him a brand new £9m/year contract.

This club is doomed.

Oasis007:
Our Mofo CBs and DG should watch Leeds and see how they are playing from back confidently.

Nearly every team in the league can build from the back when pressed apart from Ole’s boys. Apply small pressure and you see them misplace a simple pass.

The lack of coaching is so obvious. All you see is Lindelof gesticulating with his arm and telling team mates where they should be. If there was adequate training, he shouldn’t be doing that.

Every player should know where to be to receive a pass in the defence. Leeds have just been passing their way around Chelsea players pressing them. It’s so beautiful to watch.

MRTA7:
We actually played like the away team last night. Which is why we nearly got away with a win. I dont see how we'll play better in the return leg especially if the injuries dont subside. Hope for a win anyway but it'll be a good edgy tie.

Ole is an animal away from home except when he overthinks his tactics. Look at the number of games we have lost at OT.

However, you have a point in that it’s a Europa tie(away goal effect). Goalless draw at home is better than a score draw.

We will see how it goes - I just think Ole works better under pressure. Whenever his neck is on a slab about to be chopped off, he comes out with a wonderful tactical performance to silence his critics.

MRTA7:
Work cut out to progress to next round.

They are a better team away from home. United should easily win in Milan.

raumdeuter:
Kompany Was always injured
De Bruyne = Pogba
Sterling = Martial
Aguero = Rooney
Fernandinho. = Schiderlin

So Pogba was in Man Utd before Mourinho’s arrival?

Rooney was 31 when Mourinho arrived - he lasted one season when Mourinho was around & he was mostly played as a sub. Aguero is only 28 goals away from matching Rooney’s PL total goals despite arriving 9 years after Rooney’s debut.

Anyone comparing Rooney to Aguero is a morön.

Then you made the error of the year comparing Fernandinho to Schneiderlin. Fernandinho that has 50+ caps for Brazil and Schneiderlin that went to Euro 2016 and did not play a single minute in the tournament.

What a clown you are.....

handelex:
Mourinho was also given the serie A player of the season, Bundesliga player of the season and Ligue 1 player of the season. Bailly and Lindelof was his signings. He got Lukaku too and Degea was still in god mode.

They weren’t enough to overpower Man City.

United lacked quality players bar De Gea before Mourinho arrived while City had 5 players you could call world class as at the end of 15/16.

Yet, Woodward allowed City to still outspend him even though he was lagging behind before the arrival of Mou/Pep.


What you spend is irrelevant if your competition are spending so much more. City are on their way to the 4th PL victory since we last won one. Isn’t that embarrassing and we keep hyping Woodward as if he’s god.

The man is a failure until proven otherwise. I am not fazed by his gimmicks.

handelex:
Let's not forget all these as well. Yes the board didn't give Mourinho Maguire but it's not like he wasn't heavily supported

Top class Utd players before Jose arrived

De Gea.

Top class City players before Pep arrived

Kompany
De Bruyne
Sterling
Aguero
Fernandinho.

Mourinho signed 10 players for United, Pep signed 23 players while Jose was with us. An ambitious club would have signed many more players for Mourinho to catch up with Man City. In fact, we signed fewer players and we somehow expected Jose to perform a biblical miracle.

Is it any surprise that Jose couldn’t beat Pep to the title?

We aren’t a serious club.

handelex:
See I don't want to defend Ed but we should cut him some slack.

I don't actually believe the club owners don't want to win the league, else the likes of VanGaal and Mou won't be hired. Also breaking transfer records on the likes of Pogba, Lukaku, Maguire etc won't be happening.

Which club apart from City has outspent us in the last 8yrs and City have a whole nation financing them. We should put all these in perspective.

That those transfers didn't work out doesn't mean they didn't try. Hence they're even trying to put appropriate structures in place to ensure effective and maximum football success and some are complaining and seeing only doom.

Ed had no experience whatsoever ever but that guy has really improved, as we now have a DOF, let's hope we make better decisions now.

They don’t want to win the league.

The ROI does not make any economic sense. The difference between 1st and 4th in prize money is only £15m.

Rebuilding United squad with elite players would cost nothing less than £500m. No accountant would spend £500m to chase £15m.

So apart from the bragging rights that we(the fans) want, there’s no financial sense in rebuilding United for the purpose of winning a league title.

Hiring Mourinho cost just £15m a year. That’s like signing Phil Jones. Even little Amad Diallo cost more than twice as much(£37m) as a reserve player. You can’t call that a genuine intention to win the Premier League

What’s the point in hiring Mourinho when the tools he was given in defence consisted Jones + Smalling and 2 ex-wingers on the north side of 30 years of age to compete for the PL title?

Oasis007:
We shouldn't be prophesizing Dooms for the newly appointed DoF and TD. We should rather hope they succeed at the new Assignments.

We all clamored for it, we want Ed to step aside and gladly he has done the needful. They may not have juicy CVs, but let's see what they're capable of.

We are wailing too much these days on this Board. Aint we tired? Win, Draw, Lose...... there must be war. New Development at the Club, yet no Joy on the Thread.

Habaaaaa!

People desperate to win big trophies will moan.

We have a City rival with a better structure in place, they have spent more on good players, they have an elite manager - and our response to their dominance is by hiring a rookie DoF?

I don’t have to taste shit before I know it’s excreta.

handelex:
Lol.... Really?
Didn't know it needed your recognition.

But why can't some of us be positive for once eh? We just complain about everything as if we know better than those actually running the club.

Relax Oga, better days ahead .

Those running the club are doing it for their stomach.

You really think Woodward doesn’t know who and who to buy to win the Premier League? You think Woodward doesn’t know Lindelof & Maguire are lightweight in comparison to elite defenders in Europe?

Of course, he knows! He just doesn’t care to have them replaced with elite defenders cos the ROI(from a business point of view) makes no economic sense. Only owners who are genuinely interested in football would do the needful and win titles.

Woodward and his bosses are not interested in winning the league, They are contented with a top 4 finish & a domestic cup once in 3 years. The UCL money is their major prize.

Winning the PL is just a bragging right for the fans as far as they are concerned.

MRTA7:
Let's calm down and see what he does this coming summer.

Hopefully he wasnt involved in that crappy transfer summer we had.

I already know how it will end.

We will sign Ings instead of Haaland
Tyrone Mings instead of Koulibaly

And when there’s outrage from the fans, Woodward would offer excuses that we should be patient cos Murtough is still learning.

We saw it happen in the Moyes era - when 3 men with suitcases arrived in Spain to sign Herrera. It all ended in tears. We had to go back into signing Fellaini(£28m) who was available for £14m few weeks earlier.

Man Utd’s status is too huge to be handing out such an important role to a rookie. We could have gone all out to sign former DOFs at Bayern, Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus, etc.

This club is doomed, bro.

Man City hired Txiki Berigistain(former football director of Barcelona) that won them a TREBLE in 2009 & another CL title in 2006.

Man Utd’s answer to that is signing an inexperienced yes man - who would do Woodward’s bidding. It’s not likely United will ever get back to their super status.

Every passing day, the standards kept dropping.

What a shit show!

Oasis007:
Solskjær: "I know John [Murtough] since I came and it is now more a formal role. He has been working well behind the scenes - he is a cultural fit. Very happy with what we have. Continuity and fresh ideas."

Murtough & Fletcher have zero credentials.

It simply means Danny Ings instead of Haaland in the summer.

This club is doomed!

Sniper4real:
2 wins for pep

Pep has beaten Ole 3 times.

Pep won 2-0 in Apr 2019(PL)
Pep won 3-1 in Jan 2020(LC)
Pep won 2-0 in Jan 2021(LC)

KingAlabi:
Make una no give this thing attention na

It is stupidity personified

Comparing Bruno(AM) with scholes

Can anyone be more stupid?

Oh Trevor wins that

I have washed my hands off him.

He’s about to compare Segun Odegbami to Ederson.

KingAlabi:
Just checked now and saw we have only lost one premiere league game in 2021 and 2 in 2021 in all competitions.

This draws are really annoying

And you can’t see the draws and losses are the reasons we have OleOut apostles?

We have had 9 draws, we could have won at Anfield, Emirates and Stamford Bridge.

The draws against Everton, Palace, West Brom and Leicester were particularly grating.

That’s 14 points in total but Ole willingly gave those points away.

CapitalCee:
Dont mind him. Just like askng between De gea and Ndombele who is better thats an absurd comparison.

We keep asking them to present to us a single metric where KDB has outdone Bruno, they have failed to provide it. Yet they will always be disturbing us with KDB KDB a player that couldn't get City pass UCL quaters against middle range teams like Monaco, Spurs, Liverpool and Lyon.

I am starting to think he’s a farmer.

Bruno has won 4 player of the month awards to KDB’s 0 in the past 12 months and we keep getting told Bruno can’t pass the ball or he’s a penalty merchant.

Melvyn11:
So what other factor made Mctominay a better player than Kdb this season apart from goals-from open play?

He’s a DM, you will have to judge him on his primary objective for his team.

KDB & Bruno both play the same role & Bruno has edged him in every measurable parameter.

CapitalCee:
Forget the goals even. Bruno is ahead of KDB on every metric whatsoever you present even the chances created. Mind you KDB takes all City's set peices while Shaw do that for united, so all bruno chances created are from open play.

Let me check the stats......

Bruno 77-69 KDB.

They will soon use color of hair to judge both players as they are running out of things to say.
