This tactic is horrible.

Over crowded in the defense..

I'm in tears.

This is painful to watch..

Even Burnley have balls to play with only 4.
We parked the bus against Villarreal too. We were just fortunate.

Any manager that comes in will still play McFred. Who is the intelligent one that should play in their stead?
Liesssss. Only useless managers will play McFred to cover for their tactical deficiencies.

Question is why play McFred, same question we’ve been asking since Ole became the manager. This thing no be about number of bodies in the midfield, na intelligence matter for football na.

No he's playing those that can apply pressure all game. Unfortunately that's what we need, not any main player nonsense. Main player has been there from the beginning, but we're in 10th position now. Let's calm down with this main player thing and look at the bigger picture
Lol, the last time we dropped Ronaldo, we lost. Same Ronaldo has been helping Man Utd to win UCL games. Carrick is just a low budget Ole, he is clueless as well.

I can count the number of square and back passes from Liverpool in the first half. Everything na run, attack, run, attack……and they are always there for loose balls and stuffs.

I like it o, but, boy, our players will suffer ehn. They should be ready for a rollercoaster ride till the end of the season.

Na by motivational pressing video? cheesy cheesy

Person wey go humble go humble, no be by shouting press press press up and down.

Rangnick’s career stats are embarrassing, very embarrassing and shameful for his age. It’s even funny that people who judged and condemned some managers here few days ago based on trophies and honors are now shifting to “Rangnick thought Tuchel and Klopp”, shea Na em major honors be that? angry

I don’t care who he thought and who he didn’t, he’s a just a German Alladyce with too much talks, EPl proven successful managers didn’t grant too much videos and unnecessary motivational talks to package themselves, they just came in and started proving their worth, this one whose only managerial achievement is “I thought Klopp and Tuchel” won’t allow us rest.

Can’t wait for him to be smoked and bodied properly in EPL. cheesy grin grin
Lool, but your club wanted to get him. You actually made him an offer, no? And he rejected you and your filthy club!

This is not Woodward anymore, it seems this Mortough of a guy has little football knowledge, and I think they board have started getting weary of the fans troubles so they are prepared to really put their head on the ground and work.

If Rangnick comes certain players might struggle to adjust to his style. People like Martial, Greenwood and Pogba might struggle while Lingard, Sancho, Fred might flourish. Even Ronaldo is not ideal for his style but he is the GOUT so can't be dropped.
Martial can fuvk off, looks like Pogba will leave soon, so I really don’t care. I really worry for Greenwood, he needs to be ready to run around and press, thank God he is still young, he can easily change that aspect of his game.

Ronaldo? TBH, if only one player presses less out of the forward and midfield players, and the same player is deadly in front of goal, no problem at all.

Both Carrick and McKenna were coaches under Jose. I don’t know why you are arguing what is fact.
They did not influence Mou’s actions. Also, they were coaches for a few months under Mou. Carrick - 2/3 months, McKenna - 5/6 months. So we can’t conclude that they were trainers under two managers. They were under Ole!

Valverde is a winner, I want him.

Barca fans didn’t like him because his possession stats wasn’t as good as what they were used to but he got them good results for most parts.

This dude is a winner.
TBH, I don’t mind having him for a few months. He has won trophies.

Carrick was definitely coaching under Jose at United when he retired.
But Carrick retired in the summer of 2018.

You are indeed missing something. Carrick and McKenna were managers under Jose and Ole. That is 2 managers. Keep them under the next manager and that is 3 managers.

I said if we keep them under the next manager that would be 3 managers i.e Jose, Ole, and whoever the next manager is. And i mentioned Carrick and McKenna not Phelan.
This is quite significant cos our main complaint here has been obvious training deficiencies not tactics per se. We now want to keep those trainers for the 3rd manager.
Carrick was a player under Jose, and McKenna was a manager for less than 6 months under Jose.

The prodigal son is the one that gave contract extensions to a coaching staff that failed under Mourinho and was failing under Solskjaer.

If we keep Carrick and McKenna under the next manager that would we would have kept the same failed trainers under 3 different managers.
And you guys want things to change? grin
Well, you are right, they failed big time, but to right things, they need to be strategic.

Carrick, McKenna and Phelan were not part of the crew under Jose and LVG na. Or am I missing something here? McKenna joined a few months before Mou left, Phelan was appointed when Ole joined, and Carrick played under Jose.

Lol, money keeps the wheel spinning. We need prudence. You want us to pay millions to sack Carrick and co, another 10m to replace them, then pay 10 million to sign Poch (plus another 7-8 million per year contract)? Spending up to 45m on just the coaching crew in less than one year? Are you a prodigal son? tongue

There's a difference. Ole is not Varlverde. Varlverde is someone that could contest for the job normally. Unlike Ole.
I know, but there is no assurance na, if he gets an extension after performing well, no problem, just make sure the extension is not more than 1-2 years so he can easily get the sack if things don’t work out. Offering a 3-year contract to Ole and even renewing did not make sense at all, and I don’t think they would repeat that mistake.

On a separate note, Valverde is kinda desperate, so he will take an interim job to prove that he can do it and will def push for a 2-year contract later. Tuchel is a top coach that was managing PSG, but he got an 18-month contract at Chelsea even though he could have asked for 3 years.

This contradicts the reports in the media; Woodward asked Ole if he wanted to change his backroom staff and Amaka said no that they are 'world class'. But na you dey board so I no fit argue with you.
I no dey board o, shuuuuu!

The model is not man Utd’s. I am saying that they could and should adopt it because:

1. The back room guys just got their contracts a few weeks ago, will be expensive to replace them.

2. The model is generally less expensive, provides more flexibility, and could aid consistency.

You're saying this like you don't know this board. Any permanent manager coming in is getting at least 3 years.

This strategy you want requires money to be spent.
Well, they made that mistake with Ole, I don’t think it will repeat itself. An interim is an interim, if he does well, give him a year contract, it’s not expensive and there is a lot of flexibility.

We can’t continue to give managers 3-year contracts and then we are stuck because we can’t sack them. We need to be prudent o, else, we will become cash-strapped like Barca and Juve.

The head determines where the body goes. Replace the head and see a change in direction. Some clubs have the same structure, and it’s working for them. they sign players for their systems and maintain the same back room staff, they only change the manager and one or two assistants every now and then.
Chelsea only replaced two assistants when they signed Tuchel, and I guess both decided to leave because Lampard left. Goalkeeper coach, fitness coaches and other coaching team members stayed.

Will you raise this at the next board meeting?
Yes. I will tongue.

Also, we can’t sack Ole’s back room staff, they got their contracts a few weeks ago. If we sack them, we will be in trouble financially. We need a sensible and experienced manager that will work with them, not one that will bring a new back room team.

It’s an interesting model, maintain a back room staff, and change the head coach every now and then. We can’t afford to be sacking everyone everytime.

Valverde is okay for the interim role or a one year contract. Let’s do trial and error to win trophies abeg. Valverde will come cheap and even if he is expensive, he will accept a one year contract which means if things don’t work, he gets the sack easily.

We need to change our strategy abeg.
