Grow up.On the WUM.

They played right into our hands with a crazy high line... and it was still anyone's game for 70 minutes when their suicidally attacking subs opened up huge spaces. It was literally the perfect game for Solskjaer's United.Begs the question; are Leipzig that bad or are United that inconsistent?
If your officer sucks one of the good men will take charge. Your anology only works if people aren't able to think for themselves.You can have thousands of good men. If your officer sucks it's useless.
Do you think Ole told the team to go out there, be careful, be nervous and play poorly?Pogba offers nothing defensively in these games. We're essentially defending with 10 men. We look so much more vulnerable when we lose the ball and our shape suffers because of it. I'm a fan of Pogs but I'm seriously doubting now if he has a role with us anymore. He's a complete liability when we're up against it, especially a high press.
Matic, our only DM who can comfortably pass forward through the press is left on the bench. Bizarre stuff. McTominay wasn't up to it today.
Ole said before the game we'll play the United way - did we fk. Takes off our best attackers in Greenwood and Bruno. Arteta must've been delighted with himself. I have faith in Ole but some real head scratcher decisions before and during the game there.
A very bad result as we all know. We were too defensive and we looked nervous from kick off on. To get beaten by a team as limited going forward as Arsenal is bloody frustrating.
Has any manager ever told his team to play badly? Because plenty of teams have played badly before and it’s always the manager who gets the blame. That’s the way this works.Do you think Ole told the team to go out there, be careful, be nervous and play poorly?
The usual platitudes. We are just going through the motions.What did our manager say post match?
Yup. Thanks just found the quotes online.The usual platitudes. We are just going through the motions.
I'm wondering at what point the players are remotely responsible for what goes on on the pitch? It's like they're all protected coddled children who are in no way responsible for what happens.Has any manager ever told his team to play badly?

you're looking through top red glasses, they're still a bit away from being where they used to be, but they're better than us in every department.Arsenal aren't very good. If we showed up at all we would have beaten them.
Funnily enough, I watched the same game as you. It was woeful. 90 minutes of my life wasted. With both teams playing their part in a piss poor spectacle. Can only remember one keeper making a save. Disgraceful lack of attacking football on display. Fergie and Wenger must find it excruciating to see these two clubs serve up such a shit show.wow.
You watched a different game than us?
Arsenal were for once really good. Pressed United all over the pitch and were easily the better team for 70 minutes. Only at the end when they started sitting back they were shaky.
but to say they were the most negative and utter embarrassment to football... what the feck
That is what i fear will happen.Pogba is killing this team. Got Jose sacked and will get Ole sacked too at this rate.
I’m firmly “Team Souness” at this point. I don’t think Pogba is even a football player, should be one of those freestylers or get into Futsal or something. One of the least effective “footballers” ive ever seen
To be honest mate I’m bringing some much needed irony/sarcasm/maybe even genuine blind optimism to the absolute state that is this matchday thread. It’s the genuine kneejerkers who need to grow up. Fickle RAWK-esque nonsense.Grow up.
TBF they look poor in any formation. But thats just the standard of United these days. We are happy with average players.Then we shouldn’t have started in a diamond, simple as.

Well I don't think I am being knee-jerk. I just have my view on football, and I am applying it.To be honest mate I’m bringing some much needed irony/sarcasm/maybe even genuine blind optimism to the absolute state that is this matchday thread.

Do you care that everyone laughs at us when they hear that?Go support City then? You’ll regret it. Ole’s at the wheel.
Arsenal actually rotated their entire squad against Dundalk, so cheers for bringing that up. Our midfield looked leggy in the second half, we couldn't keep up with their pressing.We have faced two sides in spurs and arsenal that had to deal with playing on a Thursday night before playing us on the weekend and both have beaten us and looked more for up it the games as well.
Sorry but ole has run out of excuses now for flopping over and over again.

They don’t need an excuse. They played well. On another night it would have been 0-3.At least United played badly. What was Arsenal’s excuse?
Big difference in meeting PSG and Leipzig than whatever C-grade team they were meetingWe have faced two sides in spurs and arsenal that had to deal with playing on a Thursday night before playing us on the weekend and both have beaten us and looked more for up it the games as well.

They really aren't at all.you're looking through top red glasses, they're still a bit away from being where they used to be, but they're better than us in every department.
