KingAlabi:
Your not getting my point bro

I am not saying it was his record at Molde that give him the job, hell I never knew ole was a manager till he was appointed as caretaker.

You talked about his records at Cardiff and United and I just said you didn't consider what he did at Molde which was where he was before coming to United.

It was in his first spell at Molde that he won the Norwegian league.

KingAlabi:
Like seriously??
Which league one team can beat zenith saint Petersburg home and away in the Europa league??

That's not my point though

I am talking about what he did at molde in the Norwegian league

Bro, it's not what Ole did with Molde that gave him the United job but his status at the club and it's what is making many folks hold back from criticizing him like they did Mourinho, Van Gaal and Moyes...

I am certain eyebrows will be raised if Manchester United appointed the coach of Copenhagen or Midtylland to replace Ole, even you will question the sanity of Ed regardless of whether Midtylland won the Danish league which is clearly stronger than the Norwegian league...Ole's legend status is the only reason why the class of 92 who somewhat control the media space have held back from lashing out on him...

Also, since the success of Pep with Barcelona and Zidane with Real, most top teams are looking within when searching for a coach. It's the reason why Chelsea went for Lampard, Juventus with Pirlo and Manchester United with Ole...

CapitalCee:
Not discounting your points. But it is Soton rather than Sutton. In fact there is Sutton United in Confrence Premier League

Thank you bro.

KingAlabi:
There is also a probability he would succeed with reference to what he did a molde, surprised you excluded that (excluded you are just talking premiere only, but also put into note that was oles first major managerial job)

If this United play against burnley out of 10 how many times do you think we would win?

Molde?

Na wah o! Which kind mediocrity be this? Molde won't even win English League one...

LostMyZeal:
Since we're all doing experiment....make we just hire Poch for short-term na


Shey what's good for the goose is good for the gander
Poch did a clean job at Tottenham

The coaches I'd like are
Martinez of Belgium (his Everton team played well then)
Ten haag of Ajax

Abeg commot Martinez, that guy no sabi...

KingAlabi:
Football isnt always this way man

Probability is taught for a reason...The chances of Ole failing with Sutton is high taking a cue from his time at Manchester United and Cardiff...If Manchester City plays against Burnley 10 times, City are most likely to win 7 - 8 times with a defeat or draw somewhere along the line...

benji93:
You don't always win comfortably no matter how great you are. Sometimes you win by the skin of your teeth. Of all this, what is sweeting me the most is that, sports prefect Ole constantly outdoes the coaches you guys claim are far better than him. . Bielsa is next.

As always, we vs them...

Mediocrity has finally crept in...Sutton without Ings and Redmond isn't quite the same team. Savour the win as we all should but don't even try to knock off their coach as he has done well...

If Ole is this inconsistent with our present crop of players, you wonder how bad his team will look if he managed Sutton

qreem231:
Sir, win na win, nothing like embarrassment here jare.

Please read what I wrote again...

LostMyZeal:
Yeah right

U beat a team without their 2 key players and then u behave like this

Hope y'all can see what MUFC has been reduced to

God Forbid this mediocrity

I get your point, as much as I celebrated that 3rd goal, when I settled down, I thought to myself that we just escaped an embarrassment...

CapitalCee:
Trophies: Lampard 0. Arteta 2

You too like wahala...

Lh19:
Tuanzebe is suspended for the PSG game

Na wa o!

I love Ole's 3-5-2 formation against top teams...Lindelof and Maguire then...

iamoyindamola:
When a coach retain xhakaand loan out torreira
At this stage we go prostrate for Jerry curl and ozil to come back
Ceballos is the mother of useless, willock is the father while xhaka is the grandfather

Bar Cavani, our forwards are terribly off form which might lead to a situation where Ole overplays Cavani...

I hope Telles injury isn't serious because we need him to be fit for PSG...With Shaw out, Tuanzebe should easily slot in alongside Maguire and Lindelof...

Hopefully we go on a run of wins...The EPL is there for the taking as Liverpool and City are not at their best.

eph12:
No na. That free kick was clean.

He got to the ball but his hands was weak...

larride:
Soton are not even pressing us the way they usually do.

This game is salvageable ffs.

No Ings and Redmond...

Leyqute:
Abeg they need to sack this Olé. The rubbish is too much.

Kikiki

Greenwood has been wasteful...

De Gea chps the blame for that 2nd goal, Fred as well for that stupid foul...

Barcelona are playing right now but a supposed Barcelona fan is camped here...

If we can't beat Sutton without Ings and Redmond, their best forwards, then we are not serious...

Leyqute:
Patrickmufc has been hacked

afrodoc2:
Patricmuf is usually reasonable in his assessments. He really believed in Martial and didn’t have an intentional agenda against other players.

It was a question of faith not prejudice. That is why we forgave him at the last coven meeting when some wicked boys here tendered his matter.

Hehehe you know every.

Trevor012, your argument will make more sense if you said the position Bruno takes up means we have less bodies in midfield thus can't control the game compared to a team with 3 midfielders primarily playing their roles but then again, we have seen Bruno sit back often creating chances for our forwards only for them to waste it...Do you expect him to continue feeding the with balls they should bury? I think not, it's that lack of killer instinct that drives Bruno forward to do the job our strikers should be doing...

If Martial, Rashford and Greenwood start scoring on a regular like they did in the 2nd half of last season, Bruno will take up a more withdrawn role to concentrate mostly on chance creation...Even if you were in Ole's position, you'd expect your most likely scorer to be closer to the opposition goal...It's common sense bro.

Matchday...

3pts or nothing...We desperately need the pts to close the gap on Pool.

Hopefully, Chelsea and Spurs share the spoils.

Considering Juve drew awy to Benevento and the fact that two possible challengers or better put, pretenders are up against themselves in Napoli vs Roma, today's game is a must win for Milan in order to widen the gap...

This Leeds team are a joy to watch...All action.

LostMyZeal:
I don't understand...is this the OLE effect or what

What's with all these comparisons tho

So ... because Liverpool drew with Brighton, the team shouldn't be blamed for not getting a win against a 'better' southampton side

With due respect ; this mentality is sickening


And newsflash...we have all it takes to be topping the table at this time of the season given the injuries that seem to hamper our rivals chance at the title


We should be up there with the high-flyers but a certain OLE is in charge and that's unfortunate

#BlameOle

It's indeed sickening...

So, because Liverpool drew away at Brighton, we can as well draw or lose tomorrow...How then do we topple Liverpool or at least close the the gap...

Ole fan boys sha.

Nikiballer:
Yes I have checked it out but this liverpool injury woes are not because of his gegen-pressing now...

Will the players be tired, exhausted and need rest? A big fat Yes!!! Until especially the Front 3 starts falling like a pack of cards,then I will agree with you....

Except Vandijk,those that are getting injured now are those who go on their normal long and short injury holiday,the only difference is that they all seem to happen at the same time.....

Does Klopp overuse players like mourinho used to do without rotating his squad? Yes....will it catch up with him soon?? Hmmm and what is he doing differently? He prioritize the league and UCL while he uses the kids,fringe players and 2 regular senior players for cup games unlike Mourinho then who uses a strong lineup from league to carling cup...

I know people like you who have been saying since last year that Klopp system is not sustainable that injury and tiredness will kill them and will never recover,let's see what the future holds but for now it is the INJURY PRONE PLAYERS THAT ARE GETTING INJURED...

Time will tell...Anyway, I wish you guys luck as I love how you guys play...

Nikiballer:
History ,what history? ghen-ghen pressing taking its toll .....

Pickford intentionally injured vandijk,Richarlison injured Injury prone Thiago on purpose too.....When Gomez begins to pick form and show his potential,Gbam...him village people go press him button and then long term 6-8mths injury...

Just like lallana and Sturridge,players like Henderson,big Shaq,Keita,ox chambo,matip, Allison are injury players and have nothing to do with gegen pressing...

You don hear say mane,Salah,firmino,Van dijk(before Pickford evil),robertson,wijnaldum miss 3 matches in a row and na them be the gegen-pressing and machine always doing the running consistently for 3 years plus...

Just had to say this before you lots starts to get your hopes up and hoping for calamity on Liverpool so you can win the league

Check out Dortmund when Klopp was the manager after years of ghen ghen pressing...

KingAlabi:
IF we win our game in hand, we are just two points below Chelsea and 4 points of the top.
9 games has just been played this season too, not saying we go dey good the remaining games but we aren't badly positioned in the tableif we win our game in hand.


There was a point Aston Villa and Southampton topped the table this season, you understand bah

Liverpool are without Van Dijk and if history is to repeat itself, expect more injuries to their players as ghen ghen pressing takes its toll...

City too are not having the best of seasons so, if we don't make the most of this season, then I don't know when we will...

If Ole gets it right, we have every chance to be right up there...

KingAlabi:
Do you think we can topple them this season ?

Do get your hopes to high

Closing the gap is our main focus

Chelsea finished same points we us, signed so many players yet it isn't stopping them from pushing for the title...Why do you guys think we can't catch up? Is Chelsea all of a sudden better than us?

KingAlabi:
The rivals we compare ourselves to are outright better than us like Liverpool and mancity

If we loose a match and Liverpool looses too in a way it is fvcked up for us to compare but also soothing that the gap isnt increasing.

This is my view Sha

Rather see it as a chance for we to close the gap or outrightly topple them...

I just hope Istanbul Basaksehir gets a point against Leipzig or beat them if possible because I don't trust this our team when the stakes are high...

But before then, Sutton on Sunday...We really need all the points in that game, I hope the players are up for it...

Panther7:
It's shocking that people have already accepted mediocrity, well 7 years of constant disappointment allowed us to drop our standards.

Liverpool lost, City lost so we should be happy forgetting that these guys can go on 17 match winning streak same can't be said about United.

Whenever our rivals lose, they go on about "if it was United" as if to imply that we should be okay with a loss as long as our rivals drop points...If so, how then do we topple them?
