It's just one game, there are still 37 more. Yesterday everyone was slow, simple passes and running looked like hardwork. I'll blame the lethargic display on fitness, let's see how the next game goes next weekend. They have a game on Tuesday, make dem use am build match fitness.

We didn't make this excuses for others o! Mourinho won trophies here and took us to a second place finish but even that was not enough to keep him here. What has Ole done to warrant our continued patience?

After 10 games, if we can muster at least 7 wins, let Ole be shown the door...

KingAlabi:


Zouma !!!!!!

It is finished
Na so una been prefer Kepa to degae

Abeg no time for nonsense...Will you rather have Lindelof, the ballerina boy or sickbays like Jones, Rojo, Bailly and Tuanzebe over Zouma?

weedtaker:
doesn’t make him better, I don’t rate our starting center backs but they have shown they can be better than what was served yesterday.

Third best defense in the league, despite how disastrous we were at the start of last season coupled with de gea’s form is excellent no matter how you look at it.

Attack on the other hand. Tueh

How many teams bettered our attack?

Spend 80m for Maguire who is supposed to improve those around him yet we are already looking for another CB to come in and improve Maguire...God, who we offend for this club?

Vidic and Ferdinand complemented each other, Vidic will engage the attacker while Ferdinand will do the mopping up. If you get past Vidic, Ferdinand immediately appears in your face and vice versa but now, Lindelof will be battling an attacker whilst our 80m fridge will stand there watching him doing it all alone. They should have left him locked up.

I trust Fergie, he would have sent him parking...

weedtaker:
then what are they still doing at Manchester United? Should I mention rudiger and Zouma? Are they playing for us?

I will take Zouma over the clowns we have at the back.

melodyogonna:
We lacked sharpness. Let's give them the benefit of doubt and blame fitness for this one, seeing as everyone in the squad is blaming fitness.

Bros, what sharpness did Lindelof need to stick out his leg to block the cross in the build up to the first goal? Or it is Shaw that saw a dangerous play and stopped allowing Townsend a chance to run in for a tap in?

Against Sevilla, we conceded a similar goal, a simple drilled cross and bang, our CBs and fullbacks are caught napping...We were not lacking in sharpness against Sevilla...I am not buying their sharpness excuse...

weedtaker:
We have 7 defenders, 7 Center backs. Even I myself will be angry if they allow Ole sign another CB.


We need attackers not defenders, Smalling is there, never injured. And is better than both our starting CB’s.

A left footed LB will be good but it’s not priority.. attack is priority , if you think otherwise then you don’t follow dis football club.

Mention the 7 CBs?

If you mention Jones, Bailly, Tuanzebe, Rojo and Smalling then you might want to reconsider your last statement as it is obvious we don't have quality CBs.

Ole is just selfish. He has thrown the club under the bus one too many times to prove a point. We accept we need to sign reinforcements but must you throw away games to prove a point?

Against Sevilla, the clown refused to sub in players on time in a bid to pass a message to the board and we ended up losing.

Yesterday, he choose to play TFM and James on the right wing just to expose our inadequacies and we were severely punished. Has TFM and James ever played a game together out on the right?

For me, it's a sackable offense. It's better you come out during your presser and demand for more players than throw the team under the bus like he did. We might look back later and regret the 3pts dropped yesterday...

Moving on, for anyone who watched Daniel James before we signed him or his YouTube compilation, you'd have noticed that he thrives on the LW and not RW but no, the person who bought him choose to play him out of position even when Rashford is terribly off form. One might want to think that before signing a player Ole has done his underground checks but no, even fans know better...

If it's about 1999, then we can as well go get Sheringham...

CapitalCee:
Lmao. So we only sign players that will improve MASSIVELY?

According to SPILLO, the only fan who cares about the progress of the club...

weedtaker:
Alex telles is better than Regulion, Name a RW better than Sancho this past season and back it with stats.


Of course Manchester can sign anyone.. I prefer Sancho.. that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t sign anyone if he’s not available.

It’s not like I have the power to tell the board what to do, and FYI my problem with you guys with 574 tongues is saying that Sancho is overrated because Dortmund valued him at 108m.

I have never said he is overrated, I think he is the best English player ATM but looking at Ed do you think he will move to address the LB and LCB position we so need now assuming we pay up for Sancho? I think not. Imagine signing Sancho for 108m whilst still parading clowns like Lindelof, Shaw and to a lesser extent Maguire, what difference will the Sancho signing make? Okay, maybe the match would have ended 2 vs 3 rather than 1 vs 3 and then you'll have the media and entire fan base questioning Sancho (I know this because Pogba suffered the same faith).

Let's rather fix the LB and LCB whilst optin for a less expensive option at the RWF position, a player that wouldn't mind rotating with Greenwood.

spillo1:
LMFAO......If I tag you enemy of progress you will start crying. Since you were exposed on the Sancho price tag you have been mute on that issue. It's not surprising after one match you are here spreading your wings again.

Exposed? You must be a clown.

Sancho is good as I have always maintained and for that price, I wouldn't mind but only after we have strengthened other areas of the pitch. The current board will not sign anymore players if there spend 108m pounds on Sancho so rather than spend 108m pounds and lock up, why not address the LB and LCB position so that Maguire can go back to playing RCB and use the change to buy a less expensive RWF that will alternate with Greenwood...

Is the above too difficult for you and your goons to understand or you want me to translate it to your local dialect?

Sniper4real:
De gea to Lindelof, lindelof to TfM, to James. No penetration. Turns back, pass to lindelof, to Maguire, to shaw, shaw to rashford, tries to penetration, failed. Pass to shaw, shaw to Mature again, to lindelof, to Tfm, to James. That was the circle they were repeating yesterday. Chai, we go dey alright.

You watched the match...I was just sitting there drinking my Heineken and crying inside...Ole is a fraud, that guy na scam...We played uttered bullocks and baba was talking about match sharpness...

Jodera:
well... That's true.
Una board na scam las las. Seems dey no dey get alternatives at all

The same guy thinks Sancho is the only right winger in the world...Difference? He loves Sancho but not so much for Reguillon.

CapitalCee:
Too early to judge? There is nothing too early. The incompetence of ED is staggering.

Jones, Lingard, Pereira, Fosu-mensah, Smalling, Rojo, Dalot should have been long sold or released.

Buy and Attacking LB since AWB is useless in attack. They let Regullion join spurs because of some stuipid release clause nonsense. Spurs got him for €30m on a 5 year deal to release option of €45m. What's wrong with this deal? For God's sake.
There are very good players we can pick up for cheap; Thiago, Dacoure, Neres, Gabriel, Upamecano, Telles etc. He allowed them join other clubs, majority of the fans keep rejecting these players because they dont cost £200m.

A struggling team
but you are rejecting good players, due to a release clause you are not sure it will be activated, claiming heritage when legendary clubs like Bayern, Liverpool and Juve go for deals like these to good effect.

You are rejecting quality players on loan, you label them finished, injury-prone, not good enough, no right good attitude etc. But we have many useless duds in our team collecting huge wages and on treatment room, with being sold or released.

ON Ole
I have been saying this since, there is no way we are going to achieve anything with him. He is so limited tactically and becomes helpless when pure coaching acumen is required.
How Lindelof is anywhere near our Matchday squad is a mystery to me? I can mention off my head the matches he alone cost us last season. He is so Jittery, lacks sense, poor in the air, no speed, poor in 1-1, average passing skills, very very poor awareness, error prone and lacks any attacking drive. I have watched TFM live on a number of occasions when he was at Palace, God that guy is a league 1 level player. Piss poor.

Our fan just over rate or forward line. Someone was saying someday ago that Martial is better than Halaand. Lol. I laff. Rashford must now join politics, wythenshawe his birth place is a labour stronghold, he can contest for MP there, Kier stamer will like someone like him in their fold..

We have missed manager good managers like pep and klopp, let us not miss, Eric Ten Haag or Nagglesmann or Gasperini . Let the board sack Ole now, before Abramovich inevitably sacks Lampard and hire one of these men.

Spillo said I should ask you if they'll improve the team MASSIVELY...LMAO

Expert17:
The only reason we finished 3rd position last season was due to Liecester lost of form.....

If not you guys would have noticed earlier that this man na big fraud

When I said it here, people said even us had injury crisis. Do you want to compared Leicester to Manchester United? How much does their squad cost? An injury to any first team player and they resort to their bench which is no where near the quality required of the top level...Even then, in that last match, if not for the stupidity of Iheanacho, they'd have been like 2 goals to the good. We were that bad but nobody talked about it because we ended up winning and making the UCL. If Leicester had Maddison, Soyuncu, Pereira, Chiwell etc we would have most likely lost.

When Kovac was coach of Bayern, who gave them a chance in the UCL or even the Bundesliga? I bet even Dayo wasn't confident of their chances but when Flick took over, something changed. Ole has not managed to bring out the best in the players at his disposal. He is just out of his depths. If he wasn't a club legend, he'd have been sent parking since...

You never know what it means to have a good coach until you have one...Bayern were shit under Kovac until Flick replaced him and turned them into a ruthless team...

Ole is a club legend, he is absolutely loved by the fans but as a coach, he is clueless...It is games like these that shapes a season. Last season, we dropped points against Palace, Sutton, Aston Villa etc. Fergie won many titles by beating the small teams and sharing the spoils against the top teams but with Ole is the other way around, he will win City, Tottenham, Leicester etc and lose to the small teams. We're headed nowhere with Ole, he should be sacked and Nagelsmann appointed.

Liverpool were playing so well, you could see they only needed a world class CB and Goalie to complete the team and they signed them.

Are we even playing as good as we should before you start clamoring that the board spend 108m for Sancho? We live with clowns here...

Ole is a disgrace...You guys won't admit it but he is...

Expert17:
We need 108M Sancho to beat Crystal Palace

Seriously, those guys are clowns...Yo7 won't see them here...

nitrogen:
Brah, calm down na!

Those guys will go on and on talking trash about every other person but Ole. Look at Palace starting team compared to Manchester United's and tell me we don't have a clueless manager supported by clueless fans...

God almighty punish all the Ole fans here...

Someone will look at our squad and still come here and defend Ole...Will you rather have Sakho, Ward, Townsend, Zaha, Kouyate and the other farmers instead of the Players Ole has at his disposal?

#OleOut

eph12:
I hope to God they give him that Sancho so that everyone will see that OGS can't do shit

That's my prayers too...See the fool starting James and leaving Greenwood on the bench.

McSause ahead of Matic/Fred...

#OleOut

We are always seeing Lindelof in the peak of the action, where is Maguire?

eph12:
We've started dominating alright but that was some time after the goal. Crystal palace may even catch us on counter if care is not taken.

How can someone look at this team and say they don't have the players to play Crystal palace off the pitch and score goals?

Ole is out of his depths, we have the players to go ahead and absolutely dominate Palace...

We need a CB and LB...Ole is mad for starting James, I care less about the point he is trying to prove because we have Greenwood on the bench...

elampiro:
But in the league, Shaw has not worked well with anyone. He looks good on his own when he manages to find those spaces to pace forward, but such mostly end with no result.

Attacking flair, quick networking, awareness, heroic defending, Shaw is poor.

Shaw is trying his best, he was good today...He has our weakest CB covering for him and that's almost no cover so appreciate the lad...He looked much better combining with Martial than Sanchez who seems hungry for that CAM role...

elampiro:
To join attack and to have fair attacking are two different things.

Shaw and Martial work better together, Sanchez leaves the wings to struggle for space whefe there's none, that around where the CAM should be i.e. Lingard's position...

elampiro:
You no understand jor.

When your left back makes you to think more of joining him to defend rather than helping you to build network going forward and providing options, the game will be laboured.

Whoever has played in front of Shaw in the league has suffered. Even Martial and Rashford.

You just described Young cos Shaw doesn't hesistate a bit to join the attack...He was very good going forward today and if not for poor finishing, he'd have recorded an assist...

Imagine if we Pogba was pinging those balls to Aguero...Lukaku's poor touch is disturbing

Lukaku has been very poor...

Lukaku has been piss poor...His poor control is making our play disjointed in front...
