It's certainly not good reading, but it is a rebuild and most pundits identified it would get worse before it got better. Now, they're talking about the price spent on the squad when very few of these are Ole's players.

If he gets the time, he should be judged when he builds his own team.
This is what cringes my nerves, “he should be judged when he builds his own team” what the actual feck does that means? The mas has been here for over a year and we are SHIT but hey don't judge him until he has completely change all the starting XI players? No manager in the world has that power nor patience from the board.

All that rebuild nonsense and suddenly everyone has accepted that things have to go worst before they magically go good again, there’s absolutely nothing to back up this. Successful managers in “rebuilds” improve their team, we have gone backwards while spending around 150 million of course he’s going to get criticized ffs.

And please dont come out with that shit about how Klopp and Sir Alex finished bas their first season etc, if people truly believe that then we should had stayed with Moyes.

Aye, and just to really hammer the nail in let us break down this PL season in some nice chunks as the OP seems to enjoy them. Here's our PL season in 5 chunks of 5:

1-5: 2 wins
6-10: 1 win
11-15: 2 wins
16-20: 3 wins
21-25: 1 win

Consistently shite.
The league position didnt look too bad for a while with being close to CL spots most of the time.

Looking at these chunks though.. wow, that looks depressing. The stats are somehow even worse looking than the reality.

A loss away to Chelsea, a draw at home to watford, and a loss away to Everton would have us bottom half of the table in all likelihood.

Maybe only then, sitting in that position, will people realize how bad we have been.

“Emotional hangover from Paris” :lol:

For supporters of a club as big as United, some of you do love to hype what was ultimately a pretty inconsequential away win against the run of play in Europe.

This. Just what I was gonna say, word for word. I'm not into Ole bashing but the reality is we've been performing terribly, and consistently too. Tottenham and Everton currently sit above us. Two clubs who were in crisis just a few weeks ago. Weren't Everton in the bottom 3?

What are these 4-4-2 formations? Rashford still played on the wing in those games and James too.
Lingard was still a number 10 even if he played differently than a normal number 10 might do.
Counting him as a striker would be weird and he certainly didn't play as a winger.

I don't understand how he is still ManUtd manager. Looks like Woodward is scared to pull the trigger, one more failed appointment and all that.

I'd understand it in fairness if I had any faith in the upper management whatsoever. In that case I'd imagine they already had a deal in place for Poch in the Summer as it'll be much better for any new manager to start off with a clean slate and full pre-season and that Ole has been made aware of this. Maybe they have already consulted with Poch on the Bruno purchase.

I have no faith though, so I imagine he's still in the job because they have zero intentions of pulling the plug in the hope that Bruno and the return of some players will see us having a cracking end to the season. The worry here though is that if Ole can't turn it around, we then sack him in April/May and end up scrambling around trying to find a new manager.

I genuinely think his win percentage in the league between now and end of season will be under 50%.

The win percentage does matter but it's not as we know what we are doing. In Jose's first season we played very well and lost many a game we should have won because we dominated in those games and created so many chances but we missed.
Nowadays we don't even do it. We don't create loads of open chances and we don't dominate and we get beaten by almost everyone.

oooh we beat Colchester, Tranmere, Brugge, Astana & Partizan... wow! Colour me impressed.

No @sugar_kane the only win percentage that matters in any context is the league, of course, and we're at 36% this season. It's fecking awful and that's why loads is being made about it, no-one gives a feck if we can twat Tranmere, but we'd like to beat Crystal Palace at Old Trafford.
Abso-bloody-lutely! Not only are we shit we are now below Everton. How shit do we have to be for these United fans to stop grasping at straws trying to find stats that show this Norwegian half wit in a better light. His United record is fecking abysmal and no amount of fixing the stats will prove otherwise. To think if we'd had the balls to fire this guy we could have had a decent manager like Ancelotti.

Seriously, is there any need for that?

Since appointed full time:

• 11 W, 10D, 13L
• 11 games we failed to score a goal
• 5 clean sheets
• 1.26 goals scored, 1.23 goals conceded per game
• 3/16 wins away from home (18%)
• 8/18 wins at home (44%)
• 32% win rate overall
• 200m spent

Don't give a feck what he was like before he got his contract. This kind of form and management is beyond comprehension. Indefensible but people will try.

Somehow you've ended up with an extra league game in there. We've played 33 Premier League games since 28th March 2019. Think you've maybe included Arsenal as many fans seem to think he got the full time gig after PSG when in fact, we'd lost two on the bounce (Arsenal PL, Wolves F.A Cup) before he got the permanent job.

So minus off a loss:

• 33 Premier League games
• 11 W, 10D, 12L
• 10 games we failed to score a goal
• 5 clean sheets
• 3/15 wins away from home (20%)
• 8/18 wins at home (44.4%)
• 33.33 recurring% win rate overall
• €214m spent

Not sure why I bothered - it's impossible to have a rational debate on this forum when the same rabid anti-solskjaer knob heads (you know who you are) jump into every thread and derail it instantly.
Funniest post I've read in a while.

Either use all his stats, or none of his stats. And the reason some of us defend the indefensible is because stats(and there's far too many of them thrown around) can only show so much.

Its pointless trying to use stats to defend Ole, they aren’t good enough that’s all that can be said. If want to find reasons to be positive Ole’s win percentage definitely isn’t it, not only is it poor but it’s getting worse.

Even with all his stats, he still has the worst win percentage among the post Fergie managers.

You're right though. Stats can only show so much. It can't tell us how we lack unity like Fred did. Or how our football has been shit

I honestly can't think of a game where we outplayed the opponent but lost under Ole.
