![]() Solskjær: “I enjoy managing, I enjoy this life. And I always say to my players, being a Man Utd player, being given the privilege, honour, responsibility to wear the shirt and step out onto the pitch against Liverpool, you give everything you have”. ..... and Carragher said Ole no know ball?! |
Ole Gunnar Solskjær on Donny van de Beek's situation: "At the moment it is hard, I understand Donny. He is frustrated, he is disappointed. I know he is not happy but he is a top professional! He doesn't let himself down and he knows this is how it works in football." |
Solskjær: “De Gea one of the best goalkeepers in the world? David is up there, for sure. We'll play against one, Alisson is one of the top ones to be fair but I've seen the mindset since David came back in early. He's got his tail up again, it's a joy to work with.” |
Solskjær: “It showed when he got injured last season, six to eight-week injury and he was back the day before the Europa League final, joined the training session, strapped him up for the game.” |
Solskjær: “He's [Fred] sharp, he's nimble, he gets to players, he's never afraid. The development he's made in the last two and a half years I've been here has been great to watch.” |
Solskjær: “Fred is a very good player, he's a regular for Brazil, which in itself is a mark of quality, he's got an exceptional personality and attitude to football — I can't say if he's gonna be fit or not but he'll give everything he can to be there for us.” |
Solskjær: “I'm a big admirer of the front line they've [Liverpool] had for many years now. Mane, Firmino, maybe Jota will play, they are players you have to focus on and you have to be nailed on for 95 mins to keep a clean sheet." |
Solskjær: “You see some of the goals he's [Salah] scored lately, we know we have to be at our best to defend against him. Players like this don't come along very often.” |
Solskjær asked about Cristiano Ronaldo and Mohamed Salah: “I'll always back Cristiano in any competition, he's unique and his goalscoring record has been fantastic but that being said Salah is at the moment on fire.” |
Solskjær: "It [win against Atalanta] was a great effort and great atmosphere towards the end, another one of the great Champions League nights at Old Trafford. A great comeback, which will bring some knocks and bruises, which normally you will expect.” |
Solskjær: "We do have two or three carrying knocks [ahead of the Liverpool game]. I'll give everyone time and I hope I can pick from a fully fit squad it might be that I’m without two or three and yes, Bruno might be one of them that might be a doubt." |
melodyogonna:Perhaps..... Apologies. |
melodyogonna:You insult me first, guess you know right?! |
melodyogonna:Don't be stúpid Twìt, you have right to post whatever you like here, never in your failed Life jumps on my Post recklessly again. |
![]() Bruno Fernandes: "We believe in our coach and our staff. We need to do what the coach tells us because our coach is the maximum exponent of what we must respect." You wonder why Lads are playing like Academy Players, especially in the U12 Category? Here you have it. |
Carragher: "It felt like the wagons were circling on Wednesday and United reacted as big clubs often do in such circumstances. It doesn’t mean United are any closer to doing anything meaningful in the grander scheme of things but it’s that feeling of believing the world is against you. I’ve been there as a player. I remember in 2009 we’d lost four on the bounce and faced United at Anfield a few days after losing at home to Lyon in the Champions League. "Everyone was getting after us at the time but we won 2-0 and I think that will be the worry for Liverpool this weekend. That the Old Trafford crowd really get behind their team again and the players have that ‘We’ll show you’ attitude. It’s all about the here and now. Whatever the result, though, Solskjaer is not suddenly going to emerge at Klopp’s level. As I know only too well, there’s nothing he can do about that." |
Carragher: "When you get to year three it’s time to deliver. That’s why the criticism has come. That’s why he is being so closely scrutinised. He said after Leicester that “something has to give” and responded by dropping Paul Pogba against Atalanta. "It was a big decision but he and United should be preparing for life without Pogba, who could easily leave at the end of the season. I thought it was strong management from Solskjaer to omit him after the player’s comments post-Leicester about something needing to change because it’s a decision that’s largely been fudged until now." |
Carragher: "You look at Klopp’s very first game, away at Tottenham, and Adam Lallana falling into his manager’s arms when he came off because he was that exhausted by the pressing and you knew immediately what Liverpool were. Now Liverpool have improved to the point where they are also one of the best teams on the ball, too. Guardiola in his first few games at City having his full-backs push into midfield. His vision was clear from the start. Tuchel came in at Chelsea with three at the back. At the start of the season the talk was of Solskjaer perhaps moving to 4-3-3. He’d never done that before and it was like, ‘Where’s that come from?’. "I like to listen to the managers talk after games. If I watch Chelsea, I’ll want to listen to what Tuchel has to say after it because I could take something from it. Klopp, Guardiola, it’s the same. You feel like you’re learning something or are being educated. They may break the game down. Brendan Rodgers did that after Leicester’s victory over United last weekend. They know what the plan is and they know exactly why it has or hasn’t worked. When Solskjaer speaks after games, it’s all about ‘the Man United way’. But what’s the Ole way?" |
Carragher: "He’s up against managers of two of the best teams we’ve seen but what intensifies the spotlight is Tuchel coming in. Chelsea were where United have been in the last two or three years but they brought in a manager who has taken them up to that Liverpool and City level really quickly. "I noticed Solskjaer had a go back at me this week for suggesting he’s never going to reach those heights, and rightly so. You want to see a manager fighting for himself and his club. "You look at the way United have fought back from the criticism since Saturday’s 4-2 defeat at Leicester and that’s the sign of a great club. You can never keep them down. But I didn’t say it for a reaction or because United happen to be playing my old club on Sunday. "United can beat Liverpool and the Old Trafford crowd can play a huge part, as they did against Atalanta in the Champions League on Wednesday night when they came back from two goals down to win 3-2. But it won’t change the bigger picture. Wednesday still felt like they were papering over the cracks." |
Carragher: "He’s done a good job at Manchester United. I honestly believe that. He’s probably exceeded expectations. There’s been entertainment you didn’t get under Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho. "But he’s never going to be at the level of the three managers he’s got to beat. He’s never going to be them. He’s never going to have that gravitas. He hasn’t got the presence of Klopp at Liverpool, he’s hasn’t got the trophies behind him that Guardiola has at Barcelona, Bayern Munich and now Manchester City so that when he speaks the players hang off his every word." |
Carragher: "Watching Ole Gunnar Solskjaer trying to take on Jurgen Klopp, Pep Guardiola and Thomas Tuchel reminds me in many ways of my experiences as a player with England. People could say, ‘You weren’t good enough for England’, and I’d agree - I know I wasn’t because John Terry and Rio Ferdinand were better than me. "There was nothing I could do. I couldn’t be better than them. Terry was taller than me and was always going to be better in the air. Ferdinand was quicker and stronger. I had to work harder or try to think cleverer than them but they both read the game brilliantly. I maxed out with what I had and probably did well pushing them. But the reality is nothing I could do was ever going to supplant the two of them. It’s the same with Solskjaer up against Klopp, Guardiola and Tuchel." |
Bought Lukaku, but Dude is out for a fuckin God knows when. |
Real Football is fading away gradually. Players ain't playing for the Badge, Trophies anymore, rather for Cash and fuckin useless Stats. Jez look at Vidic, Dude was always ready to die for the Badge. How I wish Maguire can at least be 50% solid in defence as Vidic. Jones would have been another Vidic for United, but his injury Woes need Attentions of Yemoja and Obatala for spiritual Solutions. |
Arsène Wenger: "I told you before the game that Ronaldo is a champion, and we see that is never by coincidence. He turned up again with a wonderful header, and we forget many times when we speak about him how good he is in the air." |
Bruno Fernandes: "I will keep doing some mistakes, but I do that mistakes sometimes trying to give my best, to help my teammates to score goals." |
Bruno Fernandes: "It is what it is you know, you have to take a risk sometimes. I shouldn’t probably sometimes take so many risks as I did in the first half when I missed many, many passes – but I have to try because I have to find my strikers." |
Arsène Wenger: "The changes made a difference, Pogba I thought did well. Pogba gave them [Manchester United] more power out from deep in midfield by creating more dangerous balls." |
Samuel Luckhurst: "Fernandes has had one of his worst games for Manchester United yet has both assists and should have had the goal for 3-2 there. Sums up this United side." |
Arsène Wenger: "When Pogba came on [Bruno] Fernandes became better. Fernandes had a poor first half but in the second half he came alive as well." |
![]() Solskjær: “I said that to them [the players] — they're the luckiest men in the world - the eleven plus the subs - because they're the ones that can play for Manchester United. And that's what so many millions of boys and girls want to do.” |
Arsène Wenger: "I would personally highlight the second half of Fred. Fred saved a few crosses in the box. Defensively he was outstanding and he worked unbelievably hard in the second half." |
Sancho will displace Greenwood, but probably when Rashford is fully fit. Greenwood ain't doing bad but not enough as a Winger. He barely creates chances, rather prefers to cut in and shoot. Martial Agent should be looking for a Suitor right now. January is few Months away. If he wants him to remain in England, Newcastle won't be a bad Idea. Get us at least £50m pounds for Martial from Saudi Oil Largesse. |
