Who are you talking about?
I was being extreme on both ends. I don’t think there’s posters that wouldn’t back Ole no matter how successful he is because they don’t think he’s up to it. At the same time I don’t believe there would be supporters backing Ole no matter how poor his results we’re just because he’s currently doing a good job.
But Antonio Valencia did replace CR7 and was part of the title winning team. Who said there is only one way of winning the title?
Ok I see. Fair enough. Cheers.
I agree. But we have to be quite clear on what it will take. Pep needed ball players, Klopp needed a strong mentality. I truly believe Ole needs the best team in the premier league to do anything successful. So we best be prepared to give him that. He needs to have a better team than City and Liverpool just to even compete.
I watched the whole game and thought a draw wasn't a fair result. They should've been down to 10 men, we were incredibly unfortunate to have both our starting and back up left back go off injured, they scored from an error and when we were down to 10 men, and we had the lion's share of opportunities.
We played badly compared to other recent performances but still should have won the game convincingly with the chances we created. Southampton held the ball well for the last 20 minutes but did very little to harm us with it.
Can you name any single poster with this view?
He beat City and drew Liverpool with Lingard. And only lost to them when had to play Pereira. Recently he smashed the so called low block ones with our current first XI.
A few pages back, the tone of the posts were like the people criticizing Ole were idiots for ever doubting, complete with sarcastic posts and the like. I don't understand where the confidence is coming from.
They have won quite a few trophies lately, yes, if your old enough to remember Liverpool's dominance, then yes they do look like Liverpool of old.
A few months back, the tone of the posts were like the people who supported Ole were idiots for still thinking he's the right manager for us. I'm not sure what your point is. A set of our fans are reactionary, knee jerk, and sometimes downright fickle.
We improved once we got better players. When I said compete I meant producing a title challenge. Not taking points of them in head to head just to be lingering around 5th.
Basically anyone opposed to discussing replacements or alternatives, even those meant for the long run.
Fair enough. Didn’t you get that feeling under Jose?
For someone who said earlier that they didn't want to debate Ole you've sure spent a lot of time in this thread debating Ole
It makes 0 sense.
I know. I just didn’t want to debate it with youFor someone who said earlier that they didn't want to debate Ole you've sure spent a lot of time in this thread debating Ole
I don’t know what you are trying to say.
Well that's a load of tosh!
we have out performed everyone since we replaced Lingard/ Andreas. Where do you even imagine things like this? Not to mention smashing City all season, whilst having big injuries to probably our 3 biggest influencers.Okay so we are ready to compete for the title next season?Well that's a load of tosh!
It all comes down to the ambition of the club. If the board is ambitious they would make money available plus all the players we can sell, we should easily e able to spend £150m nett.
Cause in my experience it's always better to think and act positively rather than assume the worst. Even to the edge of ignoring reality. Now I know it's not gonna matter what we write on a forum in regards to how we end up performing, but if you have a positive vibe going you have a much better chance at succeeding at your task than if you assume it's not going to work.
Who said that? If you think the fact we need better squad depth means Ole can only win with the best team in the league, your just being naive.
I think you have to take the history of the thread into account. From what I've seen certain posters have been extremely negative and staunchly Ole out from the start and have been heavily critical, sometimes insulting, of those who disagreed.
Well no.
It was a loaded question.
I just hope that bloody board of ours gives him those positions as a reckon we’ll be looking very dangerous if they do.
I just don't understand how you make this assumption that Ole needs a better team than other managers, to compete? If results are showing that with a squad, that is worse than theirs, we're playing as good currently?
I like you!!! Got it in one!
I see, I avoided the thread once the insults started as it was grating to read. It does explain the brazen reactions.
Yes, for a short period of time. Leicester / Wolves have had periods where they had great results. Their team is in their peak, which is why we need a better squad than the other teams.
Whaaat
???I've just come to accept people have a bias towards Ole now, so don't really get involved. But that comment was laughable considering how things have been since January. Also this whole talk about the table never lies crap
Well I don’t know what to say. You just said you don’t see why I would say that with our recent run of form then you tell me are 1or2 seasons away. Did I not just give you my solution to the 1 or 2 seasons away. I mean what are you looking to do in those 1or2 seasons anyway.
I agree, I was like this at the start; the very poor run made me the skeptic I am today.
Well yeah to be honest a number of people have suggested the thread be closed and discussion of the performance of the manager be carried out in a seperate thread.
