Any club going for Haaland will suffer

Trevor012:
Spurs will sell kane for 100million.
Yes Sancho will be brilliant. We need more technical players in this team. Only Pogbooom, Martial and Greenwood are technical players in this team. Grealish or Sancho will do wonders.

Kane for 100M?? I laugh!

You are right about the need for technical players though, but I think we should move on from Martial.

Mr. man calm down with your insults, people have got the right to have opinions that do not align with yours.

I dey try calm down, but something outside footy vex me this night Sha

I am not like this

Haaaaa

I had to hit below the belt.

United fans that witnessed a TREBLE win, witnessed 2008 European double is celebrating a fluke win against PSG?? How the mighty have fallen.

A game that VAR ruled Herrera’s deflected shot as a penalty. No United player even contested for penalty, they were happy with a corner kick. VAR thought differently and Rashford scored the penalty at the death.

Yeah, let’s keep wankïng over that victory - it’s a trophy on its own.

You need to check the effect of each loss on the final outcome of the group table. Everyone apart from United defeated Istanbul BB home and away, thay loss played a huge part of why we finished 3rd in that group. Also the loss to Leipzig was pivotal as it was the last game and we needed to not lose to progress to the knockout round.

The loss to PSG at Old Trafford meant we broke even against PSG with 3pts to both teams. Before castigating Ole for that loss you should revisit that game and see if it was Ole that told Martial to miss sitters and Fred to have brain farts that made us go 1 man down during the game.

Ole should've taken off Fred before that red card...That's his only blame for that loss to PSG...

Already spelled doom? Na wah o! In every thread and even in bars, people share their thoughts as the game is on going which in most cases is driven by emotions so I expect that you understand. You don't expect fans to be singing the praise of the team when things are not going right. Check every other thread and you'd notice same unless you want us to keep mute here when a match is on going...

The funny thing is that; most of you Ole fan boys think those who criticize him want the downfall of the team which is not true...

I understand the emotions part it is normal

For the bolded, what makes me an ole fan boy?

If defending someone when something is wrongly said is what makes me a fan boy, then I am every human fan boy.

A club of United’s stature should be winning all their home games. What others do to the Turkish team is inconsequential to how United must operate.

This is Man Utd, not Leicester. Even a draw against PSG would have sealed the qualification. What did Ole do? Open his legs like a $2 prostïtute and got schooled by Tuchel.

True!

For all of Fred's shortcomings man has got an excellent engine and his ability to cover ground and hassle opponents is priceless, so I understood why Ole didn't take him off.

What is Molde?

How is coaching in a league that is ranked 22nd in Europe relevant in this discussion?

Anything he touches doesn't fails

Excellent this with molde as case study.

Engrelvis, GloryIsaac, reddit guy etc...I no want mention those wey dey use mask.

Them no dey bros

He’s a failure. Norwegian league is not a yardstick.

Tuchel could have also gone to Czech league and stat pad trophies there. Only the top 6 leagues in Europe count. The others aren’t better than the Nigerian league.

Lol, no p boss. Sometimes some yarns dey infuriate person for here.

Leyqute:
If he was hasty we wouldn’t have the second goal. His composure and calm decision making led to the pass to Pogba which in turn resulted in the goal. If he hurried like he always does we wouldn’t have scored from that situation.

I haven't watched the match but this is just one of the times he wasn't hasty as you said and it paid off. We have been used to his hastiness and it has still stood him out from other " supposed" calm players.

Its his style to release the ball quickly. I some other teams players around will know he does that and adjust to keep the flow but here am sure 50% of the time he loses the ball from his hasty passes is because some other player was probably static.

Anyways I ho watch the match tomorrow. Make I search for highlights

In all, na that loss to those Turkish farmers pain me pass...That goal Ba scored off a corner kick at their end was painful, we had no reason be caught that high up the pitch at that time.

I wonder why UEFA still allows those clubs play champs and Europa.

Again, how does everything he touches fails, did molde fail when he touched them?

Like I mentioned to that chief, the loss to Istanbul BB took us out of the UCL.

Ole should have taken him off - there was no excuse. It wasn’t even because of the yellow card but the manner by which he got the yellow.

The first yellow was a red card offence. PSG fans were furious he didn’t get a red card and you know from there that they would do everything to get him sent off.

United players were furious Lamela wasn’t sent off when he provoked Martial. Martial got a red card, Lamela didn’t even get a yellow card for his provocation. What did Mourinho do? He removed Lamela at half time.

Mourinho is seasoned enough to know leaving Lamela on would get him sent off cos the referee isn’t likely to pardon him if he’s involved in another scuffle. These are basic stuff in football but when you have a PE teacher that should be in women football, common sense becomes rare.

He’s a failure in the leagues that matter.

He failed at Cardiff
He’s currently failing at Man Utd.

Almost 3 years, no final in cup competitions.

Again, a win has masked our cluelessness against teams who form low blocks. I can’t imagine how good we’ll be with a bit more technical coach. Until then...

Greenwood is a generational talent. And the right back is the most pressing position for me. Bissaka has football IQ of sanyeri.

Lol

This is what some of us keep trying to tell you guys, a Club of our stature lmao, when last did we qualify for CL b2b since Fergie retired, reached CL semis or finished in the top 4 consecutively?

Reality some times is disappointing. It does not mean we should remain in this level but the reality is that we're not currently a top European team as we were under Fergie.

olabode89:
Harry Kane would be an amazing signing but where we wan see 150M+ for Harry Kane?

I just have this belief that Sancho would be perfect for this team, he can play RW, LW and AM effectively and he is a "pass-first" attacker.

We need to get more “pass-first “ attackers biko. They are creative and usually make good decisions.

patrickmuf:

You mention those wey no dey violent, abi?

As much as i do think Ole was or is still probably lacking that coaching pedigree, charisma or whatever spirit that possesses those great coaches , and hence the reason he couldn't find a way to get us into the knockout stage. I do think some bad luck played its part in our inability to get to the next stage. Maybe the fact that most people thought we wouldn't get out of that group commanded enough spirit to quel that initial run until the last 2 games, which undid us. The problem i have though with some of our opinions here is that half of the time they are shallow and address situations retrospectively. Issues like, we were leading the group with 2 games to go, are retrospective. You wouldn't have been able to predict some of the things that happened over those last 2 games. But i still think he should have been able to draw or win one of those last 2 games. Our team did succumb to factory settings, a characteristic of a team not there yet.

Mourinho qualified for the CL 16/17 & 17/18 consecutively and he didn’t stop there, he made sure we qualified out of the group in those campaigns as well - that’s the minimum standard regardless of how far we have fallen.

There’s no need to alter the facts to hype a failure like Ole.
