Doom-monger obsessed with Herrera & the M.E.N.
He definitely does.It's been said before, but I seriously believe ole has his favourites.

Attacking play in general needs to improve but taking it out on penalties is silly to me. Right now picking up wins is the most important thing. And why not rely on penalties if the team keeps on winning them?You cannot rely just on penalties. It would mean us hardly getting any goals.
because Ole doesnt like him for some reason . Much better to have Mata on doing nothing or Rashford barely putting in a shift. I cant get my head around what the problem is playing him .Why start Mata over Vander Bake?
What about games not in the league? So fed up of all the sensational stats. The media will cling on to another stat now we won at homeShocking stat
We're playing the worst team in the league at home. We have seen these performances before already, but let's bury our heads in the sand. Had WBA got the pen and scored it, out goose would have been cooked because we can't break down park the bus teamsBecause it’s easier to call the manager a fraud and just other names and whinge and moan rather than look at the facts. The Ole Out thread is an embarrassment.
well, he’s not benching both martial and rashford anyway, and somebody has to play on the right. Mata shows some glimpses of class every now and then, but the right side becomes very, very ineffective offensively when he’s on. I’d rather see greenwood play from the right with Cavani (or Martial, still) up front, than the trio we saw today.Problem is that the best finisher we have is Greenwood and he will insist on sticking him out wide right.
This. I am happy with such a result after the break.7 shots on target vs 2
645 passes vs 375
84% passing accuracy

If you only see the result and think "well, another lucky win because of the penalty" then what is the point in watching the game?
We need to be scoring more goals, otherwise everytime we go up a couple of places, the next day we go back again because of our GD. Martial is a striker, but never good enough to be a main striker. Rashford is wasteful. Until we get a 30 goal a season striker and another who can get 20 we will go absolutely nowhere. We should have got Haaland, but Ole probably couldn't guarantee him starting, when actually he is miles better than anyone we have, even at his age.Attacking play in general needs to improve but taking it out on penalties is silly to me. Right now picking up wins is the most important thing. And why not rely on penalties if the team keeps on winning them?
The same team Spurs couldn’t break down last game week? We were poor but we should have finished the chances we had. There is a overreaction to the result.We're playing the worst team in the league at home. We have seen these performances before already, but let's bury our heads in the sand. Had WBA got the pen and scored it, out goose would have been cooked because we can't break down park the bus teams

Post of the evening. But you cant please some of the so called fans on here. They buy in to what the media say, they're letting them win by behaving the way they do. its really pathetic.7 shots on target vs 2

This.Great to get a win at home.
Should have easily been 4 goals.
Ole doesn't seem to have been able to get Martial and Rashford to learn from him in regards to movement. Unlike many others I actually though Martial was very important in the build up of the majority of our chances.
The win really was the most important thing today.
He does look nice as well.I like the look of Telles though...
Well, not the actual *look* of him. Seems a decent player.
Exactly. Incredible luck not to concede a penalty and then win yet another win by one. You can’t keep winning games this way. We are playing crap and can’t break teams down.We're playing the worst team in the league at home. We have seen these performances before already, but let's bury our heads in the sand. Had WBA got the pen and scored it, out goose would have been cooked because we can't break down park the bus teams
I don't think you got my point. We've had a few very good chances to score. Martial and Rashford finishing was shocking, what is a worry. I just don't understand why people are so worried with the penalties while we should've scored a few goals from open play.You didn’t watch the game, did you?
If we rock up in Southampton next weekend and play like that, we will get turned inside out. We were really poor today.
Agree. Seems we've bought the one young English RB who can't attack.I'll go on record and say that AWB was a poor scouting choice and a poor recruiting choice. His defensive strengths sometimes vindicate the purchase, but in the 70% of games when we're on the ball versus deep teams he's next to useless. You can't tell me that options B, C or D could be worse. No way. Not going forward, anyway.
You're presuming that those two won't continue missing these chances.I don't think you got my point. We've had a few very good chances to score. Martial and Rashford finishing was shocking, what is a worry. I just don't understand why people are so worried with the penalties while we should've scored a few goals from open play.
Not worried at all.
It's not hard to work out what's going on. Good players managed by someone who never is and never will be a United quality manager and these are the sort of performances we'll keep seeing until he's finally shown the door.Jesus that was an ugly win. We are a strange team. I can not comprehend what is going on here.
3 points, but felt like a loss. Starting to think we were better under Moyes ....and I’m not joking!What about games not in the league? So fed up of all the sensational stats. The media will cling on to another stat now we won at home
I really wanted Pereira the RB from Leicester. I thought he'd have made a great signing. Good going forward and more than competent at the back. Balanced.Agree. Seems we've bought the one young English RB who can't attack.
Get your point but these lot beat us under Moyes at OT. Convincingly as well!!!3 points, but felt like a loss. Starting to think we were better under Moyes ....and I’m not joking!
Easy to justify a lack of scoring when you make up imaginary goals i suppose.I don't think you got my point. We've had a few very good chances to score. Martial and Rashford finishing was shocking, what is a worry. I just don't understand why people are so worried with the penalties while we should've scored a few goals from open play.
Not worried at all.
Too long ago to remember, but despite losing I’d be surprised if we played so poorlyGet your point but these lot beat us under Moyes at OT. Convincingly as well!!!
We should just watch the score and stats at the end. What's the point wasting 2 hrs time, watching the actual game then?7 shots on target vs 2
645 passes vs 375

Good post cant argue with that.Message is the same, Ole out. Needed 3 points, but another awful and draining performance that offers no confidence. The players look done with these tactics. No desire, no passion, no vision, no ambition, i could go on. Ole stands on the sides and looks clueless. Why did it take 80 mins to bring DVB on? How did Matic play 90? Why did Martial jog around for 90 mins? We played a double pivot against a relegation team, zero ambition, ole playing it safe to save his job. His benchmark is Lampard, arteta and Mourinho, and he started before all of them. Yet, he has no style, no vision and we play just as bad as before.
