devvy44:

At least you have a job to do when next Barca travel to Germany...Happy for you...

eph12:
What is Tom played as?

AMF, happy now?

TheHulk616:
fake fan.

Lol...Cry.

devvy44:
I thought you said you’re not a barka fan

Beicase it's a crime to support Manchester United and have other favorites...

Carry your small pikin talk comot for my mentions...

Yes!!!

Roland17 you're doing a fantastic job here...Forza Milan...

eph12:
Ole pairs him with another player that is very mobile as it makes sense to have very mobile players in the midfield since the attackers that should be the first defensive line are easily bypassed. If our attackers are closing down spaces, we wouldn't need McFred in the midfield
What is Fred struggling at? Why are you notmentioning Tom? I almost want to believe Ole is playing Fred and Fred as the 2 sitting DM

You need to read what I wrote again, I hammered on Fred to rope you in...

If Fred and McTominay are paired the do the job that one player should normally do, why then are you arguing that they are not played as DMs? Or are you now saying Fred is played as a CM (A position you claim is his best at?)...

Emaprince:
Please.

If I have ever at one point insulted you, insult your tribe, parents and siblings.. or insult you for your gender...

Please FORGIVE ME!!!

I deeply regret and remorseful for my actions

The day someone will get it hot offline is the day folks will tone down on the insults...

You are on the right path...

eph12:
what defines them as DM?

You said Fred is not a DM and everyone acknowledges that fact so, to cover for his limitations, Ole pairs him with another player many consider has limitations just to do the work one player should normally do...The job? Protecting the back 4...What does that make them? Sitting DMs but if you think otherwise that means you're admitting Fred is played as a CM and if yes, why is he still struggling?

eph12:
We have those two players who take turns to get forward. They don't both stay on the same line during play. We have one DM and one B2B. This doesn't count when the team is pinned back and almost everyone is back in our half like against Aston villa, where Bruno was playing long balls to Ronaldo.

Baba, that you have two sitting DMs, it doesn't mean they won't venture forward at any point so don't get it twisted...

TrebleChamp:
If truly you don convert, oya post Nani667 signature OleOUT anthem. Then we will do baptism and welcome you to the brotherhood....

Hehehe guy you no well o!

eph12:
Against top teams everyone is a defender/dm/defensive attacker. It certainly isn't up for debate.

When we played Aston Villa, we played McFred as two DMs...You have said it severally that Fred is not a DM in a bid to defend him when he is under the microscope...In those times you claim he is played as a DM partnering McTom, are you saying he was the only DM?

eph12:
Once again, we've never played 2 sitting dm in a match

Actually we have severally...McFred are paired as sitting DMs against top teams...This is not up for a debate.

MRTA7:
He has started his agenda. Where did anyone blame Fred for yesterday? Fred rightly got abuse for his performance against Everton but he is not the reason for the defeat. No individual player is. The manager is where it starts right now.

Ole has done well to change things when he arrived but he has reached his ceiling. The longer he stays in the job the more we're writing off this season. This could be a really embarrassing week for the club.

No mind elampiro...

TrebleChamp:
Strong statement at the bolded, some Olexesuals will start giving us Rodgers alert any time Leicester loss ...

Lol na their business...

Rodgers na bottler too but he is better than Ole...

maik99:
na vardy goal dey comical pass..just take a moment to watch the replay and you'll just shake your head

Vardy goal was annoying too...McTominay lost his marker and even when he caught up with him, he didn't engage allowing Perez to cross to Vardy who was left all alone to volley the ball home. How do you concede 54 sec after scoring...

BARAJ92:
He will also be able to sub off any players that is not performing without any fear, A good coach will have remove Maguire and C. Ronaldo, ours does not have that mind.

A coach that bought a player from Leicester City and made him the captain of Manchester United should never be taken seriously...

It's not like Maguire was a serial winner with Madrid or Barcelona but Leicester City...He wasn't even part of their EPL win, a player that has not won anything, one that seen more relegation dog fights than trophies...Ole has blood on his hands...

Yesterday's result saw many folks dump the Olein bandwagon...

Melodyogonna, this is to officially welcome you to the OleOut club...I will circulate a memo to other seasoned members of our profound club indicating your switch however, you're advised to avoid nani667 for now until I see him personally to explain to him that you have switched camp else him fit plank you thinking you're an intruder...

Kindly reach out to others who are too proud to admit that they were wrong all these while that we will welcome them with open arms...

BARAJ92:
Zidane for his winning mentality.

And the fact that he can control the dressing room...Imagine Bruno, Pogba, Maguire and co seeing Zidane in the dressing room...A manager that is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in the game whilst he was active and still one of the best managers around with 3 UCLs, why won't the players drop their ego?

I imagine the players doubting Ole and his methods because he can't point to anything tangible he has achieved with it...

TheLequte:
Bruno was the only one pressing out of the front 4 yesterday.

Sancho came from a team that use to press very well but since he joined us, he has learnt the bad habit...

I don't even want to put it on Ronaldo because at 36 I don't expect him to be running around...Messi at Barcelona hardly ever presses but still Barcelona had a very coordinated press, one of the best ever...

We are just badly coached.

elampiro:
They do. Give and run of games and see again.

However, a team with Pogba (£80m) and Bruno should be able to dominate midfield even if Phil Jones is the DM. Put Modric in place of Pogba and you will see a great change

Which top team uses 2 sitting DMs?

We are badly coached if not, with Pogba and Bruno/VDB alongside any of Fred, McTom or Matic, we can easily control the tempo of a game...

Soumare, Tielemans and Maddison are not in any way better than Matic, Pogba and Bruno, there's nothing anyone will tell me otherwise...

Rodgers is just a better coach...

elampiro:
I still see people blaming Mcfred for our woes even though they have played on about twice together this season and did not play yesterday. Me I am not understanding

Last season they were fit, we did not need DDG to be saving us, instead DDG was having a bad season and we still were doing well. But now without the duo in midfield, DDG is saving us from humiliation.

Brendan Rogers said they noticed that United played 4-2-4 but their forward players were not pressing for the ball, and so Evans and co were able to build from the defence.

Must the blame always go to Fred, who did not even play this time?

Where did you see anyone blaming Fred?

elampiro:
It is obvious that all ouridfielders are not good by themselves but depending on who they play along in a match. I mean Pogba,Matic, Fred and Mctominay. In this regard, Mctominay and Fred seems to give the team the best foundation in the way they protect defence, run and battle, and even still go forward.

I didn't watch the Leicester match, but it looks like Matic+Pogba did not do well. These guys are slow.

Protect which defense? This is a myth...

Give Klopp, Pep, ten Hag or Tuchel a midfield option of Fred, McTominay, Matic, VDB, Pogba and Bruno and watch what they'll make of it...

When we were chasing Sancho last season, I remember a few of us said Greenwood already had the right wing on a lock down thus we should rather channel the Sancho fund elsewhere but no, others kept insisting that he will come in and solve our right wing problems...

He is now here but the fraud won't even try him there so, what was the fuss about Sancho and our RW issues about? On the left wing, Sancho plays like Martial, he always wants the ball to feet, he never makes the kind of run Rashford made for his goal...I will wait for when he plays from the right wing to pass judgment because the left wing is locked down for now with Rashford back...

Next season, Greenwood will be our starting forward assuming we don't sign Haaland and Amad should be ready to compete for a starting berth...Sancho better ups his game and fast...

eph12:
It's really annoying when I watch us play. And the funny thing is that the players and coaching staff know this about our game.

Ole has spoken about it often but come match day, you don't see any of what he talks about...I have settled for the fact that he just can't implement what he talks about...

CapitalCee:
Go and watch Brighton vs Leicester. Brighton with Welbeck, Lallana and Muapay pinned them in their own half to submission and finished them, creating chances upon chances.

At this point, I make bold to say that Ronaldo will fare better at Brighton than at United...We don't create enough chances, our wingers rather cut and shoot, they hardly ever cross and our starting fullbacks can't cross to save their lives...If Ole had any sense, Telles and Dalot will be used in some games just to see how well they will work with Ronaldo because it won't take long before Ronaldo starts talking via his sister...

I watch Brighton when their game doesn't coincide with ours and I can say for a fact that they play purposeful football and for the most part are let down by their forwards...

Is there any coach in the league that Ole is better than? Maybe that Norwich coach but even then, you can see that Norwich play good football but are lacking in quality...

Ole is a problem...

Arteta is shit, Arsenal lost 3 straight games at the beginning of the season but if result go their way tomorrow, they'll be a point behind us...

Abeg Molde should come and carry Ole...

eph12:
Anyone that will make these players play ghen ghen football abeg. I'm tired of this slow football

I have been talking about our slow build play and lack of press for ages now...You watch Man City, Liverpool, Bayern and all the other top teams and you see urgency in their play but when you watch Manchester United, you begin to wonder why we play with no urgency...

Yesterday, Liverpool went away and made Watford players look like amateurs. The same Watford will face us in the coming weeks and will most like scare the shit out of us...

CrystalTiger:
One of these days, ED is gonna have to explain how he spent £130m on Maguire and AWB combined because I don't understand how those two cost that much..

Maguire will keep a straight face walking towards a set piece only to nod the ball into oblivion..AWB will always labor to get into a good position but will cross sh!t only to shift him lips go one side like say him wn chop housefly wey petch am for face..

Ole or not, Maguire and AWB, phew

I watched the replay of Patson Daka's goal and shook my head...Maguire watched Daka make Arun behind him to score...I know Bailly has his demons but I have seen Bailly drop such disastrous performance before...Most annoying is that Ole admitted that Maguire had not trained enough...

As for AWB, the less said the better.

In fact, I don't want to analyze the players anymore, my focus is on Ole...If we improve in defense, we will start having problems scoring...We almost never fire on all cylinders no thanks to our lack of a recognizable pattern of play.

Vardy, Iheanacho and Maddison caused us serious problems you'd be forgiven for thinking they're the much talked about PSG front 3...In our attack, we had Sancho, Ronaldo and Greenwood supported by Bruno yet Evans didn't break a sweat...

If it was down to you to appoint the next manager, who would it be?

Some of the options in Erik ten Hag, Conte, Zidane etc...

I will go with Erik ten Hag because I love the way his Ajax team plays even though I have doubts about his ability to manage the egos in our dressing room (Zidane comes tops if this factor is considered)...

afrodoc2:
Who selected the manager?

If there are 3 problems at Manchester United then they are

1) Amaka

2) Woodward

3) Glazer family

He blamed Ole partly for our loss and others for the midfield combination hence my reply.

We all know those who have the powers to fire Ole, no argument there...
