If you don't like Ole, state it clearly. Stop attacking meaningless rubbish. He scores 99 times out of 100 means he scores goals almost all the time. If you choose to accept it or not, it doesn't change facts. And the fact is that Ronaldo has dominated the EPL, La Liga and Serie A scoring chats. Your hate for Ole will not stop that from happening again. Be happy for once. Jesus!
No, it only means we can stay ambiguous for now, we don't have to give the team sheet until tomorrow.
Which parties and how many ?

That's basically how I feel - add to that - they are missing Wilson and Fraser so it's basically keep Saint Maximin quiet
Yeah, but it's this type of trap games that we don't turn up.
Think everyone is on board with Ole just using a figure of speech here, no one is saying he should actually say in the presser: 'He shoots and 41 times out of a hundred it's on target'
What?
Obviously, no one expects that. But if you say that he hits the target 99/100 times (when he clearly isn't even in the top bracket in doing so) it seems kind of weird. If he would say the same for Fred, everyone would be laughing. But now it's the Golden Boy and everyone ignores (or my guess, doesn't know) what he has done in his past season.
That's just over one in three shots from outside the box going on target. How many players have a better ratio?
It's just an expression, I doubt Ole was trying to be accurate
It’s pretty obvious to everyone except him
You're implying he gets invited to them.
The quote says ‘all shots’
You think journalists and fans simply don’t know what Ronaldo did last year? We’re that UK centric that we ignore football in other countries? Bit of an assumption …
Is this your first visit to the United forum?
A Newcastle without Ryan Fraser and Callum Wilson at that. Should indeed be a proper wallop, whichever midfield we put out.
Michael Cox again!
The classic one was him saying Roy Keane didn't play well against Juventus in '99. These pseudo intellectual football writers give me the shits.
It's very simple. From the beginning he has felt that Ole is not good enough and in his patronizing view Ole is lucky to manage United. Now that Ole has done better than he expected, he is doubling down on his opinion. And looks to put down Ole any chance he gets. He will randomly say credit to Ole, they played well yesterday. And then any chance he gets he is ready to criticize. Just another pundit full of himself. Similar to Daniel Storey.Michael Cox again!
Honestly there has to be a story there. Did Ole run over his dog or something? Weird.
Ole's clearly talking offhand. How many times do managers use the expression '9 times out of 10 I trust him to do X.'
When Ole said that line in the press conference I just took it as him meaning, generally speaking, Ronaldo hits the target a lot. I didn't even think he was talking about what he was seeing in training. Just making a broad statement about Ronaldo being a reliable striker of the ball.
Next thing you know football's twitterati are bringing out the stats!
Are you suggesting the club doesn't fact check its tweets before posting them? That would be embarrassing
the feck are you on about?Hes better than all 3 put together if he hits the target 99 times out of 100
Matic and Pogba vs Sheffield United at Old Trafford last season say Hi
This would have never happened under SAF
Ole said something in a press conference. The club's social media reported the quotes verbatim, as they're supposed to. It's a real quote, what's there to fact check?
Oh right. That must be it. I only listen to United pods so my only contact with this fella is his columns.
Exactly. But you see this all the time. People can't admit being wrong, and often double down. Shrugs.
Yeah exactly. His stats are usually bullshit too to make things look worse. Like the Ronaldo one today, he's probably including blocked shots, ones that hit woodwork etc. He's just a twat
Actually he can - I remember Fergie claiming RVP was nearly killed on the field. Were you ringing up the local hospitals to get the real story?
Fortunately I've grown accustomed to being wrong so it comes easy to me!
The worst is Jonathan Wilson at the Guardian. One article about how buying Cristiano was a bad idea and that he wouldn't make us better; the next day an article about how Ole has no excuses now that he has Cristiano at his disposal.
