That’s the spirit Zebs, I believe we are about to go streaky
Worse than Mourinho football?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
You've probably been wasting your time.
So I guess we today extended our run of away games without winning since the 6th of march? Certainly looks like that in the comments on here.
Things were frequently as shit to watch under Mourinho and LVG, but we had Fellaini and Lukaku to bail us out. It's not a Solskjaer thing for this group of players to be clueless going forward, so stop acting like it is. It wasn't a Mourinho thing either.
Final third we are utter clueless, we'd be better off with a Fellaini in the team up top at this point the amount of ball we wastefully cross into the box.
Trying to attack? Moyes tried to attack with 80 crosses.
Trying means jack shit mate. And yes in the last 6 months this is probably the worst I've seen United play bar one game against Chelsea, that's it.
That is true. Him being a yes man doesn't help.
The complete night and day opinions of people on here and social media compared to people who go to games or surround themselves with friends/family that do is ridiculous. Never ever seen such a difference in opinion. Says it all really
Who’s this striker and can he score goals?
We won against the all mighty Partizan with a pen without a single other shot on target, and they had total of 15 shots compared to our 5. Weird why are people moaning though.
No, as I don't have to watch Lukaku (deemed indispensable by Jose) in a United shirt.
Nor watch hoof ball upto Fellaini.

This just screams of you trying to make an excuse for shit form, Mangers pretty much have one style, they don't have an attacking style for when things are going well and then some secret ugly winning formula to fall back on when results aren't going there way, if Ole was doing as you say we would have started stringing wins together long ago.
It seems Ole only knows how to get a team playing good football one way and unfortunately that one way with us consisted of Shaw, Martial and Pogba featuring quite predominantly. He's obviously not the best manger but I do think form and results will pick up considerably when everyone is fit. If this happens we can then begin to buy quality attackers to take us to the next level and prevent this from happening again.
You lot love a moan. Bet you’re a right laugh in the real world
I hope we stick with Solskjaer personally but I do worry that he seems too easily pleased. When he initially became manager his positivity was so refreshing but when you're positive after performances like that it just makes me wonder if he knows what he's doing.
I hope he's a bit harsher behind closed doors otherwise he's setting very low standards for the players

Not just 9 games. Under Ole we are playing the worst football I can remember.
Not to forget his great squad building that left us with absolute feck all up front and in midfield. But hey throwing in some 17 and 18 year olds and suddenly the things he does with the team are great and will lead to a rosy future. Not that these guys are performing like our youngsters did under can Gaal (and how could they with such a poor coach) but only the fact that they are thrown out there is enough to make people believe he gets the "United way" (whatever that is after Fergie left).
And that lousy Pool game is as bad as our infamous PSG game. 45 minutes of absolute shambles but somehow got away with a point and now he is our savior again. I knew guys like you would react like that if we got anything out of this game no matter how. Will take 3 or 4 atrocious games against crap teams for you guys to shut up again.
No what I’m saying is at the moment it’s about results.
Once he has a chance to implement his players and a few more hopefully then you can see a style of play.
None of the preceding 3 clowns came in midway through a season to pick up a shitshow remember. They all got full windows and a lot more time apart from the chosen one.
Jose's football was pragmatic and I can remember matches where he took a lot heat for setting up in the exact way Ole did vs Liverpool. Ole is doing this against fecking Belgrade. Come on ffs. He's drained all excitement from United games. I'm no longer surprised when we lose regardless of the opponent. Worse football I've ever seen from United on a consistent basis. People want to blame injuries, squad depth and overall talent but these same excuses could have been made for Jose, LVG and Moyes.
I didn’t get to watch the game today but I really don’t know what anyone expected. He rested who he could, gave minutes to some players who needed it and we won. The game at the weekend is infinitely more important.
This isn’t to say we’ve been playing well anyway, I just don’t know what people were expecting to see from today’s game other than this - unless you wanted him to put out a full strength lineup for a meaningless Europa away?

Guys like .... you mean genuine supporters? Not internet overreactionists who wouldn’t be able to tell a match day if it smacked them in the face.
Ah the top red stuff again. Knew it would come sooner or later. You are pathetic.
If anyone wants Ole to stay it’s blind faith and nothing more. He’s not good enough and never will be. It’s as simple as that.
Every team seems to play better football than we do. What is his style of play? He’s been here long enough to have one. His in game management is shocking.
Why do people believe he can rebuild this team? He doesn’t have the credentials.

Strange thing to say when you have won 5 in the last 23.
He gutted the squad and didn’t get enough players in because he naively thought the youngsters, with no first team football, were ready for the Premier League.
He thinks he can do a modern day class of 92. He’s trying to repeat history when the class of 92 were a once in a generation group of talent.
I find it odd so many are ready to be patient with him when there is absolutely no evidence, either from his previous managerial history or our form since March, to show he can do a good job.
The team he has left us with is worse than last year.
His tactics are defensive - Mourinho got slaughtered for it.
He’s reverted to an anti-United formation in 3-5-2 - Mourinho got slaughtered for it.
We are 14th in the league - Mourinho got slaughtered for finishing 2nd. People wanted him sacked after being 7th in the league and losing 3-1 to Liverpool. We lost to Everton 4-0 already under his tenure.
Personal insults now. Top red? Far from it actually, can’t go as much as I used to but I understand what it means and to the people who in invest themselves in it.
Have some perspective about tomights game.
We played a 17 year old youth team player in midfield alongside McTominey. This wasnt keane and beckham in their pomp
Or lost 3 of 13 this season?Strange thing to say when you have won 5 in the last 23.
Why do people keep going on about last season? We never did that when we were good so to use the bad end of a previous season is just horse shit.
You are making a draw against Liverpool at home and a win against partizan thanks to a penalty (no shot on goal BTW) sounds like a great achievement. Congratulations for that.
It's just not realistic to expect any form of tactics or attractive football if you don't give the manager 2-3 years, 500 millions and lots of patience and respect lets just get our feet on the ground.
It's worse to Mou but better to LVGs game. However ole is slowly catching up
Give him time and he will replicate the last season run soon enough. Even if you take this season results only is still appalling run.
Anyway I guess we enjoy different type of football, because the shite I see week after week is really not my type.
Top red alert. Have a nice flight from Belgrade mate. Stay safe.
Thanks pal appreciate your kind words.
How's it better than LVGs football?
So, if you knew this and I knew this and many others knew this, why the hell did Ole not know this?
I know he is a bad manager (Championship level, at best), but you and I aren't even pro managers, yet we knew this.
Its Partizan not Real. We had shot on goal btw.
Ps these are the kids Ole keeps rambling about
Do really enjoy the ‘top red’ insult these days. As soon as anyone mentions supporting the club and going to a game. Didn’t know that wasn’t allowed
I lost count of how many games I slept during LvG time. It's ain't that bad now
Is he ? He was about to relegate Cardiff from Championship as far as I'm concerned.
So anyone not being completely blind to the bullshit served to us is not a true supporter? I support the club and want it to succeed like most do. Not the manager. Especially not when it's so obvious that he isn't good enough
We might soon find out.
