Of course but what I was saying was that if Ole managed City to the 5-2 loss or Liverpool to the 7-2 loss it would be a crises and his head. Yesterday was a freak result. There’s a lot of doom a gloom around the club at the monent.
I agree with that, it seems in poor taste. Ole got fecked over by Ed, Judge and the rest of the incompetent board. I feel bad for the guy
It definitely wasn't. Brighton should have gotten six or more against us and Palace also could have had more. Ole's papering over the cracks has just unfortunately come to an end.
£300m. Shit. Doesn’t buy much does it.
Do you really think a manger has a say in what a club pays for a player hahaa my god you are either naive or stupid . Again a manager gives his targets to the club and Woodward and co do the rest .So you think Ole wasn't aware that we were going to pay 80 mill for Maguire, before we actually paid it? That Ole didn't have the option to say "no, that's way too much for Maguire, lets sign a cheaper option, and we'll invest the remaining money elsewhere"?
Stop acting like Ole was some naïve idiot here who didn't give his greenlight for those moves. I mean Ole definitely is clueless when it comes to many things, but he's not that naïve
I think what was meant was that the score line was freakish. Which it definitely was. If we lose 6-1 every week then it won’t be freakish any more, when it happens only once it is freakish.
True, but us losing 6-1 based on our performances since the start of the season isn't freakish at all. We've been incredibly poor by any standard.
We have. But as many on here have said, there’s a lot of ragged teams and equally bad performances just now. We do expect better of course.
Yeah. I’ve been looking at that. We are fecked if we keep playing as we have been. Could go through that whole run without a win. Ole wouldn’t survive that, no way. But let’s just play the games. We might have a pleasant surprise.
The glimmer of hope right now is that Ole has repeatedly got big results when he's gone through a rocky patch. I just find it hard to see how we put a consistent run of wins through that period with Martial missing for a few of them as well.
Agree
This is a troll post right?
This is true. The squad is not good enough to challenge for any trophies, but equally, it is not so bad that we should be annihilated by Spurs and outplayed by Brighton and Palace.
A lot if his biggest supporters as our manager are totally fine with that, that much clear. We could have signed Messi and he wouldn't be expected to challenge yet.
No its not a troll post.
What's the difference between the squad that finished last season and the one that started it ? We have more additions. The squad has gotten better though marginally. So why are the performances worse ?
Way to miss my point, which I thought was pretty clearly stated.
You can't say "he reminds me of SAF" and then hint you aren't giving him special treatment. I have no clue how old you are, maybe you actually were a fan during the early years of SAF, but it's a different era. Either you're living in the past or you're comparing him to something you don't know.
I would love him to turn it around. I've flip flopped on Ole as much as anyone in his time here, but every time I think he is turning it around there's a period that makes me question whether he is ever going to be good enough to take us to the levels we strive to reach.
They would have did well to score 6 or more against us from only 5 shots on target.
