Have to say I'm out. I don't know who is to blame for thinning our squad but fex. Fred can't be worse than Matic even without pre-season and playing with one leg. Also I really can't see the point of loaning Sanchez when we were already missing players, both quantity and especially quality.

This has been a calamitous summer. We let two of our experienced attackers go and replaced them with feck all. Woodward needs to be shown the door.

Sack him now. A competent manager can still salvage top 4
Not a chance. Stick with Ole for now, we have to suffer this season no matter what, we do look a better side already but there’s a lot of work to be done. No quick fixes.

It was the wrong appointment at the time, showed nothing to suggest he is capable of turning things around, the way he was failed to close down this past season was telling of things to come.

Sack.
Bad decision not to sell Pogba
Why isnt he playing Fred too?
Also the fascination with signing British players instead of just the best player available is something that doesnt sit too well with me.
We just look bad and average

Jose took us to 2nd(!), won the EL and the league cup.
That seems like a long distant fairytale dream compared with the shit we’re seeing now, we look years away from getting anywhere near 2nd or a trophy currently.

Mid-table team with a mid-table squad coached by amateurs.

Consider what he's got to work with.

Name me one manager who could get this team performing beyond their current standard.
Like he had no say in the quality of this squad. He thinks Rashford and co are good enough to carry this team. Delusion.

Absolute fecking coward. Greenwood should be starting in a situation like this. He plays Pereira who offers nothing at all. Then he brings Mason on last in the second half. No Gomes in the squad. Fecking coward.

There isn't playing the long game these days.
We need to spend money on top talent and, on a fuken top manager.
Another example of the piss poor moderating on this forum right here.

His plan is obvious. Wan-Bissaka, Maguire and James are exactly what he wants the team to be about. But there isn’t enough of them.

You’ve made up your mind, however. Which is fair enough.
I see similar struggles we faced under Mourinho. A different boring style of football. However, unlike 17/18, we can't score or win.

At this rate we will continue our transition next season in the Championship. The results and performances speak for themselves.

What would be the point in sacking him exactly?

Who could come in and get anything more out of this lot?

What I will say in his defense though is that at least the signings we've made under him look decent, so one doesn't get the sense that he's doing damage to the club that will last beyond his tenure as manager.

He needs to resign, it's too big a job another 2 points away from an already big gap, we will be in a relegation fight nevermind top 4 . Gutted and sick of it now . Love you ole , but you gotta go.

The comments in here are laughable.

There is no manager on earth that sends his Goalkeeper out to parry a ball his should catch nor tells his Centre Back to position himself so terribly he can’t compete for a header.

Some of his team choices may baffle but his ideas are continually undermined by individual errors.

We could have Pep in charge & he couldn’t improve these players, he’d need to buy a new squad.

The man has had countless senior players leave & not be replaced, no manager would want their squad decimated like this.

That being said he needs to resign & call out the regime; how anybody could say this squad has come together by design amazes me.
It's the lack of attacking ideas that concern me. Mistakes will happen, but we didn't have a clue how to break down palace and now Southampton.

Plus de gea and lindolof have both made errors in the last game and are still starting

He said he was happy with this squad when the squad is clearly not good enough. It’ll be on him when he inevitably gets fired.

Yeah I mean Ole clearly isn't up to the task but giving him this squad was basically nailing his coffin for him.

Love Ole, always will. Think he genuinely loves the club.

But he is well and truly out of his depth.

He is deluding himself if he continues to say our performances are good. We have played okay for 30-35 mins against Wolves and the same today.

Hurts me to say but it's not looking good for him.

The squad is so poor I'm not sure any potential replacement would do much better though to be honest.

Time for the top red who keeps telling us to shut up because we have an ex legend as a manager to let us talk please.

Terrible and clueless manager. Let's be honest with ourselves we all know how this is going to end, and it won't be a pleasant.

I don't care about being positive in the presser, squad can't be built over the night and all these lame excuses no one even those who type it believe them themselves. Results are still shite and we're still playing terrible football. We haven't moved a single inch forward. Still as shite as the previous 6 years.

Do we have the worst board among the top 6 ? Yes we have. Woodward needs to go but how many games do we need to realize Ole is just as clueless whenever things don't go his way ?
