You're part of the problem if all you do is cry about a problem without offering any solution

I already said we wait till end of the season. Meanwhile, I am not a man Utd employee, so even if I proffer solutions, the solutions won't leave nairaland.

Maybe I will be in Woodward's position very soon, who knows?

eph12:
Which manager were you hoping for? Poch?

Mehn, difficult to tell. But we should have waited.

dubylhover:
But did you notice how lvg and mourinho also started...we were playing expansive and attacking footie when lvg first came..but we had no control.and that Leicester game really did a number on lvg..after that match he changed...as for mou I remember how we attacked and created chance after chance but we couldn't win..then I remember some late equalisers like that against arsenal...

In summary I feel every coach we signed actually wanted to attack and play good footie,but the personnel wasn't good for it,and honestly we have been Shiite in the transfer window

But Gaal and Mou got their players Na. Top quality players, how come we are still saying the players are shyte. Martial, Pogba, Lukaku, Lindelof, Baily, Herrera, Matic, Sanchez, etc were starters at their former clubs, how come they are shyte right now?

Me I think the players are okay o.

eph12:
What difference would it make?

I hope the impressive run no be fluke. That's my point.

Leyqute:
And ruin the summer TW. Thank you.

No. He starts identifying players now, he gets the job right at the end of the season, and then he goes ahead with signing the players.

As it is now, if it doesn't end well, we won't get our target players.

E never spoil sha, hopefully we make top 4. Thank God Chelsea is not really playing well and Tottenham is a bottling company.

OGS should stop adopting Mourinho's tactics sha. It just won't work.

afrodoc2:
You guys really need to chill and stop all this knee jerk doom and gloom mentality.

It’s too early to start criticizing the new manager.


Unless these are Mourinho’s true fan soldiers coming out of their holes

I think that they should have waited till end of the season before giving OGS the job.

Same story, be blaming the players. When they went on a long unbeaten streak, OGS na saviour and beats master, but now, he needs to overhaul the team. Question is why did the team go ultra defensive against Watford yesterday?

Watford dominated play and created many chances against us yesterday, but then, we should blame the players because they don't have an instructor and manager.

The simple truth is, OGS is not any different from Mou. I hope to be wrong sha, because, I want the best for the club.

And please, no one should say I am not happy Mourinho was sacked, infact I was one of those that started calling for his sack few months after he became the manager. I just fuckiing hate boring and park the bus football, I hate it, reason I detest Chelsea, ATM and others. You can call it pragmatism and do it against big teams, but not the likes of Wolves, Watford, Reading and Leicester.

KingOfAllIgbos:
I agree with your analysis. But this guy was definitely fast tracked by a bigwig. Look closely at his profile from 2018. Someone pushed him there.

I don't understand what you are saying o, this guy has been very much around, he's worked with Stanbic as head of financial advisory and KKR, a global private equity firm with over 150 billion USD in asset under management.

Getting into KKR is a fuckiing big deal. KKR would not have recruited someone recommended by a bigwig. Interestingly, there are many Nigerians with such profile in Europe and America. Na low key things.

May God bless u.. if his father is not popular as in a big time looter and connected politician, his mom is fvcking no mere mortal in Nigeria

when we have Nigerians who are Yale, Oxford and Harvard scholars with decades of experience and track record of success globally, dem no fi smell this position

I don't know why people just make sentimental comments on subjects they know nothing about.

Now, a couple of PE firms own significant stakes in UACN, and it appears issues around wastages and inefficiencies are affecting the company. Because these PE firms (including Themis) have significant stakes which gave them rights to have board members in the business, they have decided to get a new CEO. It is their modus operandi.

Sometimes, they recruit from other companies, or better still get one of them well experienced to manage the company. Forget about nepotism or politics, they don't care, they need to make the business work again and increase value of their investments, otherwise the high net worth investors of the PE firms will start asking questions.

Double standards in here mehn, no difference in tactics (Mou vs Ole), but we should not talk about it. The truth is, he got some energy from the players because the atmosphere was a bit better, now we are almost back to square 1 (boring pack the bus footie).

Small time, someone will say he is conserving the players' energy, for FA cup and Carling cup games coming up Abi?

Ole should please save us the motivational talks and get the team to play good football jare.

Smellymouth:
Please you guys should cut them some slacks. We got the three points and that’s all that matters.

At this stage of the season, it’s always difficult to bag three points. A lot of players just came back from injury, we have a huge game against Barca coming up and you expect the players to play like it’s the UCL finals?

Naso we talk when Mourinho was around, until things became so bad that everyone started calling for his head. Play good football and win. Performances like this should come once in a while. There was an FA cup game (vs Reading) that we played BS throughout. We won 2:0, but it was BS, against Leicester City, it was drab footie, Rashford score from a counter and we won, against Tottenham, same thing, we need to be careful o, else, we will just be rinsing and repeating BS.

I dont know why guys cant call a spade what it is. What energy are they conserving? When we didnt play against Chelsea, Arsenal, not even Everton. Rvbbish game, simple!

I just hope Ole gets it right. I just weak.

Baba commot Martial, bring in Rojo. Jose Mourinho.

See football!

Smalling dey surprise me sha. In games like this, defender no suppose shine.

Ope o, at least this one is done and dusted.

Leyqute:
The squad is good enough to dominate Watford. Agreed.

But How many of these players are coming back from an injury/knock? Matic, Herrera, Martial are not fit. Pogba has been busy with France. Rashford and Shaw had to pull out of the English squad due to injury.

You want dem to return to the sickbay after today abi?

Make dem play ghenghen football and get injury so that we will field Chong and U-10s against Barca abi?

As long as the result is good and we don’t get threatened too much, there’s no sense in expending loads of energy in this match and get exhausted before the end of season run in.

Bro, at old Trafford? This your post is quite interesting. I hope you are watching the game sha?

larride:
Imagine. We are playing Watford oooo, not City or Liverpool or Barca. See as they are just playing around our box.

We are definitely in trouble. Maybe it's the top 4 pressure. Shey if we dey sixth, the guy for experiment wella.

adebayo201:
kí lóde??

The problem is from the midfield though.

my brother, e dey pain me niiii.

If the midfield is not making sense, he should substitute Na.

larride:
Are you guys seeing this rubbish. This is the way Jose started ooooooo.

No be wetin I talk be that? Whatever tactic this guy is adopting right now is bull sh1t

Omo nawa o, Watford go don get like 1000 attempts now o.

iPopAlomo:
Shebi na him we dey watch...

We don win this one already.

Mata should leave the club abeg. He don expire.

ChristineC:
I don't think his tactics was to drop possession. The midfield started very poorly.

I actually think we drop possession every time. It's not a bad thing, right. I would however suggest that we go hay wire in the first few minutes of games in order to put pressure on opponents, especially the likes of Watford. He can always change tactics during games, not playing passive footie right from the start.

I actually like Ole, I hope he becomes the right one!

Lana1:
U need to understand, you an only play the hand you are dealt.
Normally, we should be all over Watford but the midfield is non-existent. Matic is all over the place and Watford just dey get guys behind our midfield.
We cant be too open at the back if not Watford will finish us

Does it matter,abeg we should not support something bad, this squad is good enough to play good football, at least against small teams. Na like this Jose start o.

Getting better. We can't be playing counter attack footie against small teams, abeg

iPopAlomo:
Come on WATFORD!!!

You think say we be Arsenal, Abi?

Rubbish! Every time counter attack

Hold the fucking ball! Who is this guy? This is Watford for God's sake, Na like this we wan play Barcelona?

This guy should stop playing counter attack against small teams jare. We need to start dominating games like this. Abeg!

tenmariner:
Players that may cost OLE his job

Rashford

Pogba

Martial

These 3 guys can consistently disappoint when it matters most!

Very stup1d players.

pamcode:
Just saw this on BBC. Are this wise words from Prof philosophy or just rantings of a retired Coach? I haven't seen any United game since Solskjaer took over.
"The coach after me [Mourinho] changed to park-the-bus tactics and played on the counter. Now there is another coach who parks the bus and plays on the counter. The main difference between Mourinho and Solskjaer is that Solskjaer is winning.
"I am not there but there does look to be a change and the atmosphere seems to be better. It is also true that Solskjaer has changed Paul Pogba's position and put him into an area where he is much more important.

cc everyone

Unfortunately, he is correct. Except a few games where we dominated possession and won convincingly.
