If our club was actually infiltrated by scousers after SAF retired and Gill left, I genuinely doubt they would have managed to put us in a worse state than we are now. We are an absolute joke from top to bottom.
Alistair Campbell Spin doctor of the year awardI thought the lads were fantastic today and gave their all, to a man. We were very unlucky to lose but you can see the progress on the pitch.
What do I win?
Even Klopp and Guardiola would fail with this squad. Our fb’s would been sold on the first day.Less about the squad more the manager.
He’s a sack of shit, and our captain now it seems. Sick of hearing them speak.Maguire quote> ‘We were not good enough and we have to improve. It is something we cannot put our finger on.’
Well that sounds promising doesnt it?
True and very worrying that the ‘future captain’ ‘leader’ is saying that they are basically clueless. This team is far from being the end product and it needs a proper staff with actual football knowledge. There is a reason why most of the ‘top football’ players dont become great managers and that is a reality. There are exceptions but they are the minority.Honestly, it's better to stay quiet if you're just going to come out with nonsense like that. It serves no purpose beyond pissing off the fans.
So again that's on Ole. if he ain't ruthless enough then he'll pay with his job.Even Klopp and Guardiola would fail with this squad. Our fb’s would been sold on the first day.
Ancelotti is a shite manager long term. His league record is embarrassing for the sides he managed and the financial advantage they enjoyed.Ancelotti has signed for Everton. Watch him get them playing
From day one after terrible summer window I thought all over top 7-8 would be great.It's funny how peoples opinions keep changing. After Spuds and City the general consensus was once we get Pogba back we'll be making top 4 easily. It's excuse after excuse. Don't tell me now Watford have a better squad than us or Sheffield or Villa or Everton or Bournmouth or Palace or Westham or Newcastle or even feckin Rochdale.
Baton down the hatches. InnnnnnnncomingDidn’t think we were that bad.
Not ruthless enough? Its impossible to sell 11 players in one window...Was only allowed to buy two overrated (of course) british players. And squad player in James.So again that's on Ole. if he ain't ruthless enough then he'll pay with his job.
As I am sure you appreciate there is a vast amount more than simply picking the team.You realise that the manager selected those players to play, right?
wanker!Rather sack you. "cnut".
If you thought shaw and martial played well then either you are clueless or only watched the last 8 minutes of the gameOnly good thing about that was the combo’s between Shaw, Pogba and Martial. Generally Martial was pretty good throughout the game as was Shaw. Everyone else just abject.
Poor passing, poor decisions and just general lack of ability.
He's been allowed to coach these guys for a year. The passing and moving, interplay, everything quite frankly, drops to shockingly low levels far too often. He rightly gets to the summer for me, is backed as far as we can in Jan. But none of that has anything to do with how crap our play is, under Ole, more often than not.Not ruthless enough? Its impossible to sell 11 players in one window...Was only allowed to buy two overrated (of course) british players. And squad player in James.
All true, I just wish he could criticise players aswell. Jose was right all along.The verdict is in from Ole:
“We didn’t deserve to win the game by the way we played. We were too slow in possession, too slow without the ball, not enough intensity.
“We didn’t have enough to get back. You have to be out there and ready. First half both teams were slow. If you don’t take your chances you get punished.
“We didn’t deserve it today. They took their chances. We didn’t take our chances. You have to earn every inch, every chance.”
You should both read the Rules To Remember below.wanker!
He is saying the right things, but if this is the case, shouldn't he or his staff be up on their feet lighting a fire under some of them? Tell them to speed up.The verdict is in from Ole:
“We didn’t deserve to win the game by the way we played. We were too slow in possession, too slow without the ball, not enough intensity.
“We didn’t have enough to get back. You have to be out there and ready. First half both teams were slow. If you don’t take your chances you get punished.
“We didn’t deserve it today. They took their chances. We didn’t take our chances. You have to earn every inch, every chance.”
Let's all wait until the January window instead of crying in our beer after todays performance vs Watford which was poor. If we strengthen in Jan then I think we'll see a big improvement. In the later stages of the game today, Pogba and Martial were seen to very good effect. Let's hold our horses and be patient a bit longer. It's clear that we need another RvN and he may be on the horizon. I refuse to be downhearted and let the smoke get in my eyes.
I think I’ll flip that around and refer you to where their performance threads are where the majority seem to be agreeing with what I’ve said so maybe you need to rethink who is being clueless.If you thought shaw and martial played well then either you are clueless or only watched the last 8 minutes of the game
No he wasn't. You don't throw your players under the bus. You tell them in private and sell them if need be at the first opportunity if they are not meeting your expectations. Thus letting the dressing room know you will have their back but in return if they don't return the favour, they have no future here.All true, I just wish he could criticise players aswell. Jose was right all along.
That's actually pretty fair. Was expecting a 'we deserved it because we made that one chance in the first half'.The verdict is in from Ole:
“We didn’t deserve to win the game by the way we played. We were too slow in possession, too slow without the ball, not enough intensity.
“We didn’t have enough to get back. You have to be out there and ready. First half both teams were slow. If you don’t take your chances you get punished.
“We didn’t deserve it today. They took their chances. We didn’t take our chances. You have to earn every inch, every chance.”
Disinterested self?Yes Fred and Pogba but Martial was his usual wasteful disinterested self until Pogbs came on. After that he looked good but, it should not take Pogba coming on to look interested. Only Fred and Pogba looked like trying from the start of their time on the pitch. Worst players on the pitch were our full backs along with McTominay
Agreed. You would think that would be the first prerequisite of any side Solskjaer fields now, given that he’s been in the role for a year and has harped on about it consistently in that time.He is saying the right things, but if this is the case, shouldn't he or his staff be up on their feet lighting a fire under some of them? Tell them to speed up.
Think a lot of people are concerned that last season when he said some players would not be here this season. That our idea of who should have gone and his are a bit different. Yes he got rid of players and they maybe didn't suit his style of wanted to go for playing time. However how he can think the likes of Shaw, Mata, Lingard, Jones can still be here is unfathomable. Potential players will be watching Ole and I am not sure some will want to put their football careers in his hands.Not ruthless enough? Its impossible to sell 11 players in one window...Was only allowed to buy two overrated (of course) british players. And squad player in James.
Why wasn't there enough intensity? Didn't he realise Watford are fighting for their PL existance? What did he say at half-time to instill more intensity?That's actually pretty fair. Was expecting a 'we deserved it because we made that one chance in the first half'.
I imagine Ole along with the brains trust gave a rousing speech at half time which is why we had some shots in the second half.Why wasn't there enough intensity? Didn't he realise Watford are fighting for their PL existance? What did he say at half-time to instill more intensity?
