The strength of the 1st team has no relevance to fergie fielding Carrick and Fletcher at CBs, O'Shea and Gibson as CMs, Park at RB, Doctor Owen (MBBS) and the Da Silva twins as wing forwards to defeat the Reigning Buli champions away from home, and also keep a clean sheet in a 2-0 win vs Arsenal.

There were no excuses then - just results.

We need to raise the bar again and stop putting forth needless excuses for managers...especially when they fail to beat 15th placed Leeds at OT!

Jamiuokolaa:
Is it the fielding every week that made us lose yesterday?

larride:
Up front is not settled bros, I doubt it that Sesko can lead the line at this club. He might just be an impact sub.

Jamiuokolaa:
One of the issues is that standards have significantly dropped at OT such that the Barest minimum is now seen as a luxury

Ferguson beat Wolfsburg away 3-1 and Arsenal 2-0 with these squads but in big 2026, 700m has to be spent before Man utd can comfortably beat Leeds at OT

I really miss those days of non - existent excuses

nitrogen:
With Case leaving, we need 2 players in the middle and maybe 1-2 defenders to support the current ones. Not another overhaul. Upfront is sorted, except maybe a right winger. So, 3-5 players with focus on key areas of weakness will do.

Carrick is just a temp with relatively few ideas. He’s done well, but I would not want to have him as a permanent manager.

Goosethetruth:
Don"t mistake me for your father please.

Jamiuokolaa:
But this has always been the stance of a considerable number of people here.

The resources at Carrick's disposal should definitely be doing better than what we saw today.

It was an embarassing performance to say the least.

Like you have noticed, how can Man UTD be "passive" vs 15th placed Leeds at OT?

I am seeing mentality issues in the team and chief - that one is on the manager to fix!

Carrick is being presented with a fantastic opportunity to sell himself and get the job on a permanent basis...especially with the percieved unavailability of big names. Unfortunately, it appears the man isn't interested

Jamiuokolaa:
There is a reason why managers are obliged to grant post match interviews - they are the ones responsible and accountable for results and performances on the pitch. Carrick has also acknowledged the fact that the 1st half performance was underwhelming.

It is also the job of the manager to "whip" his players back in line when performances are not at the required levels.

When I see tepid displays like this from VIRTUALLY ALL members of the group, the manager DEFINITELY has to answer.

Jamiuokolaa:
So what happens before next season?

Jamiuokolaa:
We have been strengthening and we would continue to strengthen but I'd rather not talk about TW after 15th placed Leeds dominated us at OT despite the club spending close to 250m in the last 6 months.

The manager CAN NEVER be exonerated with the performance on display tonight - it's just NOT possible!

Any man utd manager that needs a TW overhaul to perform well and beat 15th placed Leeds at OT isnt ready for the job!

nitrogen:
The fact is, Carrick got the same players to top 3 and will get them to Europe, by hook or crook. That said, it’s looking like he won’t be the permanent manager. It is what it is, whoever is saying that he should get the job is joking.

Jamiuokolaa:
INEOS decided not to appoint OLE because they weren't ready to commit to him long term, regardless of CL qualifications.

Now it appears they made that decision because they probably knew Carrick wouldnt be entirely convincing.

It's unfortunate how some of these managers fail to grasp golden opportunities with both hands...

Which high profile Manager fit dey available sef?

E be like say clubs don plenty wey dey find coaches.

•Real Madrid
•Liverpool (Maybe)
•Chelsea (Probably)

nitrogen:
Those ones are not serious. Anyway, Goose will be back!

Ellexy:
I think INEOS won't make the same mistake their predecessors did with Ole. Let Carrick finish and they'll assess and appoint a competent manager with an X factor.

Lana1:
When you will not calm down to read the posts. Na to det shout "Big daddy Goose press their neck" you sabi.

Go back and read the posts. You will see where two different people have said they want Carrick to be given the job permanently

raumdeuter:
At almost same number of games he is trailing Arsenal which means till this moment Arsenal have been better than him so far
Pep and City this season have not been good,

Why must Pep win Arteta this year, he has won him multiple times already. So why he f up if Arteta wins one after many years

iamoyindamola:
Everything is agenda to you, pep is not in good position to win
He has been doing catchup for the last 2 epl trophies he won because of a useless serial bottler of a manager
Cut him some slack and give him his flowers, he spent and have results to show, if e easy make your club run one abi una no fit enter race like this.

raumdeuter:
Excuses? I will rather be the team with a 6point advantage than be the team chasing. Ask Pep if he would rather be the one on top with a 6point gap or the person changing

Pep agenda? which one. Does Pep need any agenda

raumdeuter:
Arsenal have Sporting this midweek, It isnt a serious game like that. Before they play Barcelona or Atletico in 2 weeks time.

I think Arsenal can lose to City and still win the league, This city does not look like one that can go on a 10 match winning run

MorataFC:

We won them when it matter most (UCL Final), and we will meet again in the FA Cup final, and win them again where it matters most. 👌

BlueRayDick:
We have to take destiny into our hands. No worry, we go run am.

We go follow city drag am.

popizaino:
In the impenetrable defense of Saliba and Gabriel we trust.

BlueMann:
Minus the match against Port Harcourt, we have lost 5-2, 1-0, 3-0, 3-0 and 3-0

15-2

Sportsweb:
Popizano your Liam Rosenior too good. Next week is Manchester United. Make Dem begin shave again for Carrick Boys

raumdeuter:
Losing Rodri and O'Reilly to injury for next game will be very bad

Unlimited22:
You no remember say you dey chase UCL spot when you face them Leeds, Burnley, Everton, Newcastle? Na now we begin chase am?

Ibunkun1:
So if we get luck reach final, and meet City how Rosenoir wan do am. Even interim coach draw city for Etihad. Nawa for the guy.
