The same way Rashford is allowed to take stupid fecking shots from free kicks 45 yards out from goal over and over and over.He isn't trying to turn him round though, that's the point. He's just picking him regardless of how badly he does, how few fecks he gives about actually playing as part of a team.
When I see a United fullback at 0-0, against a team we should be beating, taking on holywood shots from 40 yards, trying overhead kicks, trying to cross the ball by flciking it up through behind his own legs, it tells me he is blatantly taking the piss. He might as well be sticking his fingers up to the bench while he's doing it. Yet next week, he's in the bloody team again! Not only that but doing the exact same things. Clearly no one has even said anything to him.
This isn't managing at all. It's just letting people do whatever they want.
This is a pretty fair point alright.Its far more exciting that watching us attempt to play football.
What plan though? I don’t see it.It's a terrifying idea that Ole is playing someone who refuses to follow the plan.
Pretty much. He plays like he's having a kickabout with friends and theres absolutely no negative consequence for doing something stupid like losing the ball in front of his own box or smashing a shot over the bar from 35 yards. Occasionally this complete obliviousness to pressure results in a nice flick or something where he's cooler than you'd expect someone to be in his position. But most of the time it results in giving the opposition the ballI have to admit, Rojo is one of the most bizarre footballers I have ever seen. In one moment he is capable of something absolutely ridiculous like a two footed sliding tackle from 20 yards away. Then the next minute he’s capable of something absolutely... ridiculous like a shot from the half way line when we’re overloading them 6-4.
I personally wasn’t laughing, I thought he was by far our best player that game.A few after Astana were laughing at Rojo's performance.
I couldn't believe some were fine with it. He takes the piss every game and some are fine with it. Ole included, apparently....
It was another annoying performance for me.I personally wasn’t laughing, I thought he was by far our best player that game.
I can't believe Rojo is following instructions taking 7 shots in the first half.What plan though? I don’t see it.
Maybe it is part of “the plan”?
There is a very good reason he keeps playing the same players. Our squad is so thin he has almost no other options.There is no reason to continue playing the likes of Rojo, Lingard, Rashford constantly when they aren't performing.
He's just another one 'giving them freedom'. We need a system not freedom. Licence to attack and bomb forward - yes, but not without a plan. Ole is just too tactically empty IMO. Not seeing anything in this regard sadly.It's a terrifying idea that Ole is playing someone who refuses to follow the plan.
This. We had to go to penalties at Old Trafford against fecking Rochdale. You don't need your strongest starting 11 or an extra 500m for winning against them.Standards? Half of our fanbase are happy having a manager who will faster relegate us than do anything useful, we don’t have any standards anymore. If you are not happy getting embarrassed every single week you are an entitled fan or an idiot.
Honestly, we're so boring and going nowhere, might as well have some fun. Give me more Rojo!A few after Astana were laughing at Rojo's performance.

Or maybe his shots are flying in, in training and he has been given licence to have a go.Lots of posters are missing the point the OP is making.
It isn't "Rojo is shit". Whether he is or isn't is irrelevant.
It's "why is Rojo allowed to do what he wants?" The fact that he did the same the other day, has been picked again and is doing the same thing, suggests that eiher the coaches haven't noticed, or think it's OK. Which is extremely worrying.
After last fiasco maybe it was a wise for Pogba to step back for a while.Anyone found it slightly jarring that Pogba didn't stepped up to take a penalty. He's a world cup winner and was our first choice penalty taker last season. It makes no sense that Greenwood, Fred and James took a penalty over him.
I said that on the match thread. Hes either shit himself for missing earlier in the season, or doesnt give a feck. Ole did say him and 'Rashy' were the takers.Anyone found it slightly jarring that Pogba didn't stepped up to take a penalty. He's a world cup winner and was our first choice penalty taker last season. It makes no sense that Greenwood, Fred and James took a penalty over him.
Also, he was not made captain. Instead, a player who has played for the senior team less than 10 times was. Ole is all over the shop at the moment.Anyone found it slightly jarring that Pogba didn't stepped up to take a penalty. He's a world cup winner and was our first choice penalty taker last season.

We are boring and, in general, one of the worst teams to watch play football, and have been for many years now, but I still want our players to take playing for Manchester United seriously even if we are a bit of a joke at the moment.Honestly, we're so boring and going nowhere, might as well have some fun. Give me more Rojo!
It's no surprise. Amateur manager with amateur methods. Us having 2 penalty takers was bollocks and he was just saving face on that one.Anyone found it slightly jarring that Pogba didn't stepped up to take a penalty.

What you said was funny man, I wasn't laughing at you.Here he is
To be fair, someone has to. God knows we're not winning anything trying to play football.He was taking liberties all over the pitch.
To be fair, I don’t think it would be appropriate to name a player who, publicly wants to leave, captain.Also, he was not made captain. Instead, a player who has played for the senior team less than 10 times was. Ole is all over the shop at the moment.
Shooting from long range and from hard angles helps no one. Specially when Rojo did it twice in a row. I don't see Neymar do that, nor Messi nor Ronaldo.To be fair, someone has to. God knows we're not winning anything trying to play football.
Fair enough. But Tuanzebe? The United armband has to be earned in some way. Romero would have been a better choice.To be fair, I don’t think it would be appropriate to name a player who, publicly wants to leave, captain.
Maybe .Or maybe his shots are flying in, in training and he has been given licence to have a go.
