Given the team selection, the tactics, the application, game management, first 80 minutes. I’m finally taking a sad, and very much unwanted position...ole out.

that was terrible

That’s what happens when a team that can’t defend, setup to allow the opposition to attack, in the hope we can just soak it up and scrape a draw.

Terrible, even a cheap penalty and a goal that shouldn't have stood (looked like Pogbas header hit Maguires hand) wasn't enough.

That’s what happens when you treat a low budget top three team in the Bundesliga like they’re fecking 2009 Barcelona, despite battering them 5-0 last time. Joke to only start playing with ten minutes left.

Now we’ll enjoy the immensely popular Europa fecking League. Cheers.

I have a real hate for Maguire and it isn't healthy.

He isn't a leader
He isn't a top defender
He has no pace
He can't defend low crosses
He seemingly doesn't have the respect of his teammates
He bribes police
He isn't aloud to be dropped


Bruno is the captain in all but name.

Ole out.

Never thought I'd say it, totally embarrassed for this club. Pathetic as usual. Ole has to go, only someone who does not get football would keep him. Allow this sentiment, the world changes too quickly to get stuck with this crap. Ideal Jan would be get rid of Pogba and new manager.

You can’t start playing at 3-0 down. Time and time again, dreadful start. We can’t get away with this and we deserve to be fecking schlepping all over Europe for a Thursday night in Qarabag.

I would have rather lost 10-0 than see Pogba on the pitch...

Ole cost us this game. Why the f*ck would he start with a back 5. Especially when Shaw hasn't played in ages. And then when he makes subs at half (as he should) he takes off Telles despite Shaw only being good for 60 minutes? In fact, in a game where we were down 3-0, of our 5 subs, 3 were defenseman? Shambles...

Looked an absolute horribly disjointed mob by the end.
Tuanzebe and Fosu Mensah doing all sorts of odd stuff.
Van der Beek nowhere.

Only Pogba had any heart late on! The irony!

What pisses me off is Ole will cluelessly continue as the manager, we'll spank some average team very soon (not City of course) and all will be dandy after that with the Ole in clan.

feck this team.

Negative set up and some shocking defensive performances killed us.

I'm honestly sick to death of the way we look clueless for so long in football matches and need to rely on individual brilliance to bail us out. We should change. We won't.

We'd have won with Fred and a committed Pogba from the start, but that still doesn't excuse Ole's dogshit tactics or the horrendous performances from Maguire, AWB and McTominay. Changes need to happen fast, and that starts with putting Ole out of his misery.

Pathetic. We got to 3-2 and somehow played EVEN worse.

This champions league campaign will go down as a what if?
We were in control of the group after 2 games and a shambolic performance in Turkey has seen us in the position we were in tonight.
Game plan well and truly out of the window when you set up to contain and counter and concede 2 goals like that in the first half. The whole back 5 and De Gea are letting us down massively. The Europa League honestly I couldn’t care about, play the second string and rest our best 11.

Coward tactics from the start and cowardly defending. The score line flatters us a bit as the 2 goals came out of nowhere. Such an embarrassment to start the group stages so well and throw it all away.

This is the ceiling well reach with Ole unfortunately. We looked totally clueless on how to attack this Leipzig team tonight.

Devastated, utterly devastated to be out of the UCL this year. We weren't worse than Leipzig tonight, not saying we were amazing, some of the defending left a lot to be desired at times but they were more clinical than us, we did enough to get a result but we were punished by some poor finishing and some poor decision making. Fair play to the team for the come back, thought we were going to make it at the end but wasn't to be. At the end of the day, we have to look back at Istanbul away, that's the game we threw it away not tonight.

Massive pressure back on Ole now, lost the most important game of the season so far and with the derby coming at the weekend it could get worse for him.

I have never seen a team looking more disjointed, clueless and with less intent on playing "their game". There is no game plan to be seen, no cohesion. Players seem to be playing for their own moment of glory ...

Three subs wasted on defensive changes while trailing 2-3 goals. I have no words to describe the feelings I have towards that coward of a manager. And we are playing like cowards. Look at Wan Bissaka for example, he looks like prime-afraid of Van Gaal ...

Luckily my membership package got delivered to the wrong address, so I have nothing to throw into the bin.

Absolute joke of a starting midfield combination and formation.

Matic and McT should not be on the same pitch and AWB cannot play Wingback.

We were on the back foot from the start.

Deserved to lose, can’t keep giving goals away with shocking positional player or school boy mistakes, it’s just not good enough. Then to couple that with only starting to play with any energy after scoring a goal is just so poor.

I’ve no idea if it’s down to the manager, the players or all of them anymore.

Annoyingly when we got going we peppered their goal with a lot, the effort was there and on another day we win that easily.

This is the champions league and when yoi give soft goals you’re done for.

On Ole... again...

individual brilliance unable to save his terrible set up again...

crap subs.. again..

We actually have a squad that is capable of challenging for stuff this year.

But we have a terrible manager.

loved you as a player Ole... but you are too often the reason we are in losing positions..

Pile of shit. Ole needs to go now. Shows he knows feck all about tactics,. Should have changed the side after their 2nd goal went in. Even Mourinho would have done that.
