Well we have a lack of impact players but you'd the whole squad is available so we don't lack options for this game.
They aren't inept. They just have a different agenda. He knew this when he took the job.
Yeah their different agenda is why many top managers have told us get stuffed
But we're an adult Disneyland!
Yeah and we all know who to thank for that happening
He was smiling back in January when quizzed on Haland too.The smile when he was answering this! Also, last sentence he started with "hopefully we will.." then changed to let's see if we will.
Sancho's coming home
Yep, one thing we have learnt with Ole is that we cannot take anything he says or does as the truth.He was smiling back in January when quizzed on Haland too.
I understand and support OGS for deflecting the issue onto him and Southgate as the grown ups, as that is what 'protection' looks like.
It's well known that he wanted Haaland - but his agent didn't want to bring him here because of the buyout clause issue. I think that's a fair position to take for the club. Unfortunate overall but I would not want United to make signings with 60-70 m buyout clauses. Now if that number was 150-200m, that would be okay.He was smiling back in January when quizzed on Haland too.
Not disagreeing. My point is there is no point in trying to read Ole's body language in these situations. Everyone knows Sancho is #1 priority. Except this time, the issue seems to be €120m. I'm clinging on with a finger nail.
Good points. Shocking management from Southgate, or maybe not.
Greenwood's fault is being dumb and not knowing any better. Southgate, on the other hand, provided him and Foden with the opportunity to fail. That's poor leadership.
Poor from you. That is not support.
Well I definitely don’t want us losing every game but if this is the only way to get through to glazers then I’ll take that. I believe in what Ole is doing but he’s clearly not being given the best tools to do his job so by any means necessary for me.
No, of course not. Saying that, it does not take a genius to read his body language and moreover, comments like yours are useless in a forum where people express opinions. May I ask, do you have anything of value to offer? If not, I advise to not bother replying to my message.
That's me told.... If you aren't qualified then I don't get how you can state what you have that's all. Reading body language is a sure fire route to successfully judging a managers frame of mind I'm sure.
No doubt we are partly hamstrung by our owners taking money out the club but one result is not going to change a thing. Very poor to even think about wanting to lose the first game of a season.
Very diplomatic way of telling the FA they are feckwits.
Yeah, I think SAF would have been less measured haha.
Yes he would have been raging!
Game time considering Paul recovered from Coronavirus and Shaw is coming back from injury
I have a problem with England national team and the English press. They like to build someone up and take them down quickly. Their attacks on Greenwood have been disgraceful. They picked a wrong target in Raheem Sterling because he took the fight back to them. Ole was bang on the money today. United have never put Greenwood up for press conferences. If anyone needed to know how crap Gareth Southgate is , his handling of Greenwood tells you all you need to know. England are wasting their time with him. He wont win anything.
all he’s saying is they aren’t at the same levels of fitness as the rest of the squad.
Yeah, I guess it was for Southgate's "going with youth" moment, so he could be praised for bringing them through. And you're right about Grealish. Then Southgate came out afterwards and said those matches shouldn't have been played and that players weren't fit. Why choose players who only have this short window for a holiday?
Still not heard one actual argument as to why making one of England's most promising up and coming stars attend a conference.
Oh come on FFS! He's just doing what SAF would have done in his prime;creating a siege mentality...stop buying it
Fair enough and agree with that. It was a very poor decision to allow them to room together: because they might goad each other into mischief (which they did) and also a missed opportunity for them to learn off pitch behaviour from senior players from other clubs. Yes, that was poor leadership, and surprising by Southgate as I’d have thought he’d be on top of such details.
I didn't read it and I'm not interested in whataboutery but I did read yours. I agree with you, rating a manager's press conference is total shit posting.
Its always my favourite time of the season. That point when our 'fans' start hoping we lose games so we might sign a player to help us win games.
Anyone that hopes we lose a game should just hand in their “Utd Supporter - but never been to Old Trafford” card and go and support Liverpool or whoever. It’s pathetic.
Theres been no respite on here for so long now. During the season - angry about Ole and the players whenever we dont win by 3. Off season - angry that they aren't getting their transfer fix.
