The players are doing what I'm asking them to. There are key moments in games that can tip these games in our favour compared to theirs and you make maybe a bad decision on a pass - left, right, centre - but the attitude and desire is there.

That's not the problem. It's the quality in our decision-making, sometimes in the execution. It's a good group to work with. They are determined. Sometimes along the road, we are going to hit some bumps, as we've said, some highs and lows.

This group is out there determined, they showed the desire, it was a good atmosphere in the dressing room. They've got the focus right.


- OGS


For those who want to be blaming the players. OGS says they are doing what he asked them to do. Case closed. grin

I only watch our first two matches so far. I just watched extended highlight of our match vs West Ham on youtube. We have no pattern. After those first games of OGS last season, we have been patternless.

At least I knew Moyes played a pattern but it did not work. Every player has a playing zone

LVG had a pattern of trying to keep possession and build slowly from the back. But it did not work. He however used some unknown players to disgrace some EPL teams.

Mourinho was always afraid to attack. He had a patern of trying to park the bus and go on counter. Also claimed we didnt have quality to play attacking football.

I don't know what OGS is trying to do. Players just run around and flow according to the rhythm of the opponent.
Happy New Year.

You don't get what I'm saying but okay. Time will tell. Let's see how we'll set up against West Ham.
Sure.

I don’t care which line up or system he roll out against West Ham as long as we get full 3 pts, I will be happy.

2, José been the ask for one.

Though the main issue na be say we no improve our attack.
Even till now, we haven’t improved the attack. Infact we can say we are getting worse.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by larride(m): 6:43pm On Sep 20, 2019
Leyqute:
Yeah, but that’s not the whole truth.

Fact is OLE’s got tactics that’ll bring goals via counter attacks- any good manager would- and it’s the major wya we’ve scored goals under him BUT it’s not true that that’s his preferred way to play.

Our last preseason and the first few games in this season confirms this.

Against top opponents or teams perceived to be fitter and better with the ball, he submits possession - Chelsea and Leicester. Against lesser opponents he played attacking football. It’s just a shame that we don’t have players who can make things happen- yet.

Since SAF left we’ve never had a coach who wanted to play attacking football, save maybe LvG. Mourinho didn’t really want to dominate and win games and Moyes is just meh.

These players are lazy at keeping possession and would prefer their opponent have it, esp. the attackers. They don’t understand yet the importance of quick passes, creating spaces with their movements and running into them to receive the ball.

I can’t reqlly blame them. They’ve been playing like this for the last 3 years or thereabout. See how Rashford evolved- from potential deadly attacker to matchday curse recipient.

I repeat- that Wolves game was our best performance this season. It’s just sad that we didn’t claim all available points.

I’ll let OGS get down to work and get the team working again. It won’t be pretty and we’ll get unexpected results, and even if he gets sacked I hope he’d have built a solid enough foundation for the next guy to build on.
@ bolded - Then why did we sack Mou then since he play this particular style.?

We have scored 70% of our goals under Ole through counter attacking yet you still don’t think that’s his preferred style of play.

Bottom half or mid table team are likely to sit deep and cede possession to us, what happens when they do that? We become clueless on what to do with the ball. We even begin to cross the ball when we have Rashford or Martial or James as our CF.

Look at Leicester pre Rodgers and now during Rodgers reign and see the stark difference in the way they play. Most of our goals under Ole has been through counter attacking, when our opponent sit deep, we find it hard to score because there’s no other alternative. If this is not a pointer to the way he set up his team, I don’t know what is.

Time will prove either of us right or wrong.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by larride(m): 5:06pm On Sep 20, 2019
Leyqute:
Yeah. But Ole needs to find answers to unlocking defenses. So far the players are not stepping up.

We’ve won 2 league games this season- by sitting back and surrendering the ball to the opponent.

Whenever we take the game by the horns we either draw or lose- our best performance so far this season was against Wolves. It’s a shame we didn’t win that game.

Last night’s match against Astana was the only game we dominated and won, but they’re not rated as high as EPL clubs.

OGS needs to find a way to win matches that way- it seems it’s his preferred way. Only City is skilled at breaking teams down and to a measurable extent, Liverpool.
The problem is Ole style needs space in between the opposition defense to thrive. His game plan is based on fast counter attacking system so whenever a team sit back, we have problem breaking them down.

It’s shamful that apart from the Chelsea game, we have not scored more than 1 goal per game. Our players positioning especially midfield and attack is suspect. Most times you see our players staying static as if they are programmed not to make runs.

Ole needs to work on the team positioning and transitioning from defense to attack. Slow build up play and senseless sideway passes will hurt us more than the opponent. It is our own players that wait for opponent defense to regroup before attacking.

Ole must look into his system and adjust/change as I believe the system must be flexible enough to effect change.

I just de pity you, put pogba kante and de bruyne for that midfield with OGS as their gaffer and see people start complaining that de bruyne's passing is off bcuz of the sun affecting his eye unto albino things.

Our tactics is garbage. I don't see any difference in our attacking play compared to José's last season and dis OGS united.
Well I have being complaining about OGS tactics since last season. I have accepted he’s a counter attacking coach and as long as he’s here, the best thing to do is see how we can succeed with his style. If results are not favorable, he will get the sack sooner rather than later.

Chrisus:
Going forward, our midfield 3 should be Fred, Pogba, Tominay. Ole should ditch the idea of playing with a 10 for now, we don't have one, Gomes can't play full matches yet.
Chong will come good, but he needs to go out on loan once or twice in order to get regular game time and develop confidence. What he lacks is confidence.
Greenwood needs to be near the box always.
Tuanzebe needs more game time, Ole should try 3-4-3 or 3-5-2 sometimes.
Fred? I won't say much until I see his performance against a team that presses.
Sadly, Rashford can't be dropped cause we're short of options.


We MUST beat West Ham on Sunday.
I agree with 4-3-3.

I’m not sure whether we have tried out 3-4-3 before or 3-5-2 so I will prefer we go with 4-3-3.

One major reason why our midfield is being overrun is because we are thin in the midfield, almost all match day it is 3 or 4 midfielders against our own 2.

Going forward, McTom, Fred and Pogba must man that midfield, let them play consistently and see what they can do, we can just keep shuffling the midfield and expect cohesion between them.

Leyqute:
LoL. We no get option. If handled well, Gomes will be playing full matches by December or January. Greenwood too.

We just need to ease them in.
I like the sound of this if OGS will follow that path. Time will reveal all. We wait and see how everything goes.

people were actually laughing at jose for trying to get a CB last season and were praising Woodward for not supporting him,

Saying that a CB will not score goals for us or improve our attacking play, fast forward OGS sell our most prolific scorer and didn't replace him then bought two defenders now we're struggling to score against the Astana's and Crystal palace of dis world


Yet them the tell us say na future planning, in the next three years we go don gell, b4 that time trumpet don sound world go just end.

They didn't impress as such but Astana had 11 of their players camped in their half, no space for them. Maybe if Rashford had scored atleast one of those chances they(Astana) would have been forced to come out then there might be abit more space for them.
Rashford that’s mad.

First person that will say the obvious truth today.
Rubbish truth.

Apart from Chong who was sloppy in possession some few times, the rest really did impress especially Gomes.

Check the kind trailer Astana parked and you will see why it was hard to break them down. We controlled the match from beginning till the end.

As in eh, or better still start Greenwood as the CF, he can't do worse than what Rashford is serving us.
I don’t think Greenwood is ready to lead the line. We need a striker that will take the pressure off Greenwood shoulders.
