Is Ole’s football really any better than José & LVG’s?

I’m just saying. It’s a drab as ever.

If we give this guy a new contract expect shit football, top 4 battles & zero silverware.

Waste of time watching us play.

Don’t watch then. Just wait for the next negative result then start a new thread.

You must have forgotten how bad it was under the previous managers, it’s much better under Ole than under those two.

Performances this year have relied heavily on individual brilliance. When the brilliance is lacking, we are clueless & very bad.

There’s no plan it’s just putting players out on the pitch and hoping they can do something.

Absolutely not.

We arguably had many more bad games under him than either LVG and Jose.

We’ve had higher peaks than Jose ball, but lower troughs. When it’s gash it’s really gash.

It’s antiquated. It’s got little sophistication to it at all, and he seemingly has no idea how to structure a top level midfield - which I will personally hold Michael Carrick to more than him.

We rely on individual brilliance from someone like Bruno or Rashford. We don’t have any real style of play.

Both of them lose form and we are beyond shocking.

Yes, it's easy to forget just how bad it was before. That said I don't think we are playing particularly good football under Ole.

Slightly better, we score more when we are clicking but it's putrid stuff most of the other time. He is a waste of time just like the previous two, I hope we cut our losses in the summer but we all know that's not going to happen.

When we are allowed to counter we look one of the best teams in in world.

When we have to break a team down we look clueless and un coached.

Not a chance

Small time manager, should be nowhere near a top club.

He's been bailed out by bruno 95% of the time here.

The players, bar Bruno, are not good enough. I don't care how talented they are, they do not have the mentality to be winners.

They go on long runs winning 8-10 in a row every season and then drop silly points for 3 months. They're shithouses.

"These players will let Ole down again" - Roy Keane. He was right.

Dunno, if you squint hard enough every season since SAF retired our football looks the exact same.

We've not been able to create chances for years now.

Well he relies on individual play - when the players don't play well, you get results like this. It's just piss poor. Watch him go in the summer window to try and buy the top players so we can rely on more individual play/brilliance next year.

He admitted more than once he had very little role in the team's coaching, so yeah we're playing Mckenna and Carrick football.

Probably not. But both of those managers got sacked and massively criticised for their style of play, so I’m not sure it’s a massive plus for Ole either way.

Ole hasn’t a clue.

covid break and Bruno saved his arse. Now Bruno is getting marked out ofgames and we regress to the same slow and no idea side pre Bruno.

Palace, Shefied United, West Brom. Joke results and a joke of a manager.

he was fuming after Chelsea game A yet we play even worse tonight. He has no presence on this team, zero.

Although LVG and Mourinho aren’t the most exciting, at least there’s an identity, there’s a direction.

Ole’s “style” is “go on kids, get on the field and let’s have fun”

I've stopped watching our matches because of our football (and the results). I never reached this point with LVG and Mourinho (although disliked them both as well), so I don't know what that says about Ole. Either my patience has run out or Ole is even worse than his predecessors.

Don’t watch us play then.

That was a woeful game, were in a bad patch, but overall it’s been much better in an attacking sense.

Of course we can pretend it’s the same or worse every time we have a poor result, that’s much more fitting for this place.

Definitely not as bad, but could and should be a lot better with the squad he has, underachieving recently
