We are an awfully coached team

Ronaldo and Fernandes must talk to Woodward because the other players don't have the winning mentality....they would be happy with another EL campaign
As much as I hate player power and think it's a dangerous slippery slope, I'm afraid you're right. That's what it's going to take for Woodward or Joel to pull the trigger.

Leicester completely outplayed us. Missed sitters and scored 4, could have easily been 6 or 7.

We reached the end line. We're absolute shit and things need to change.
We've been outplayed by every single opponent this season apart from Newcastle and Leeds. Literally. Not a single performance where we were the better team other than those 2.

Ole has done fine in his first 2 years but has to go, simply has to go. We're just digging a bigger hole the longer he stays

"We're a counter-attacking side."

We're fecking shit at counter attacks. Look at the counters we had on 60 and 76 minutes. Couldn't even create a chance with them.

My mate works at for Newcastle, and has often described them as a "plodding along" club, happy to do just enough to survive, with no ambition whatsoever. We're exactly the same, though we are doing it at a Europa League level rather than an "avoid relegation" level.
Pathetic

Even Leicester back in form against this team who were struggling in league before, says a lot about our manager and coaching staff.

They extended the staff last week . Sums up this club
Close to feeling like giving up on any near future happy days/trophies. Sometimes more than Moyes, LvG and Mou bad days. That's because even with all the resources and so many top individual players, we play like amateurs.

Even Newcastle game was 50:50 till our second goal.

We have been absolute mess in every single game bar Leeds. Every single team controlled the ball better than us.

We're going nowhere with Ole. The problem is, I don't think the people in charge are that interested in us actually winning trophies and challenging for titles. He'll be kept on long after our season is ruined.

What a shit performance at Leicester, again. The defence all over the place, players like Sancho not driving forward as they should. Coaches ruining him.

Sad how we as a club are happy to waste season after season on managers who have proven to not be good enough.

There is zero point to this season. We're winning diddly-squat this year, we're not going to play good stuff, and Ole will see the season out. Absolutely pointless.

Holy smoke - love him as our player but absolutely hating him as our coach.
He is so slow to read the situation on the field - Matic was out of it by 65th minute and we completely lost control of the midfield. He waited until Leicester had zillion shots on goal and scored to sub Matic out.
This guy needs to go.

On a serious note in the last two home league games he played Mctominay & Fred together. In the champions league game vs Villarreal in between he played Mctominay alone while today he played Matic alone in a tough away game . No one can genuinely make any sense of his decisions

Really struggling to defend Ole, something has to change and it could easily be him.

Solskjaer has done a good job to improve us after Mourinho.....no one can deny that.

But this squad must win trophies.....it will never happen under Solskjaer.

This squad can play better football.....it will never happen under Solskjaer.

We have bought Ronaldo, Varane and Sancho for what???? Another EL campaign or to reach the CL with the 4th place.

Ronaldo is here to win trophies!!!!!!!!

Therefore player power is right and must happen now!!!!!

For me, this was the final nail in the coffin... we've been totally awful this season. Even the games we won...
Zidane is available, right?

He needs more time... in the coaching academy and away from a proper football squad.

At least the cracks are no longer being papered over. Win, lose or draw, it’s been this bad for ages. There’s no one at the wheel.

Everyone knows we aren't well coached. None of our rivals would want our manager. I'd argue that none of the top 8 would want Ole and his coaching staff.
Great way to inverse the situation. If I were a fan of a top 4-6 side, do I think the United coaching staff improve my chances of finishing higher. The answer is probably no.
Would there be at least 5 players from United I'd love to have on my team? Definitely.

There's nothing worse than feeling I was more happy during the international break not having to watch this shit than being happy with United back to play football. The 2 weeks of international break feel like God sent for me nowadays.

We aren't coached at all.

His concept of tactics appears to be pick a formation and switch players out like-for-like and hope for the best. No game management and completely passive. Even the substitutions are the same each game.

Worst coached team in the league and easily the worst coached ‘big’ club in Europe. It’s just going to keep getting worse as the players start giving up and moments of magic stop coming.

How an elite sports team can’t do the basics as often as us is unbelievable, it’s just getting to the stupid stage now to be honest. Why play it out of the back with our shite record, how many goals do we have to give away before we stop. If we can’t do it then don’t.

The overall passing of this team is a joke, short passes are shocking, we are a bigger danger to ourselves then the teams we play.

We have no identity at all. We are not an attacking possession team nor are we a defensive counter attacking team. We are just like a managerless five aside pub team doing what they want.

Sack OGS now...he is so out of his depth it's painful to watch...when in hell is he going to see that a midfield of 2 slow clumbersome midfielders in Pogba and Matic with Bruno not doing much defensive work is never going to work...Tilemans was running the show the whole game and looked twice the player than any of our midfield...Pogba was so fecking lazy and careless he should have been pulled of at halftime...Maguire has just been horrible all season..when Tuchel took over from Lampard at Chelsea you did see án instant effect of getting a high class manager...it's time to send OGS back to Norway....there is no plan..no vision..no workrate..no United

Disjointed to phuck and no phucking bollocks shown.

The whole team, players and management (except one or two) play and react as if they've been laced with phucking valium.

Phucked off.

Manchester United and Newcastle United are the worst coached teams in the league, and I don't think anyone could really argue against it. That's the sad part. We must identify a new manager, and I hope the club is doing that right now.

This is right, we aren't coached at all. The thread title needs to be updated. @bond19821982

Tbf, I don't think, there were many blatant mistakes by Ole apart from starting Maguire who doesn't seem to be fit at all. The rest is down to individual mistakes. The issues stem from the fact of what he seemingly didn't do for the last 3 years. Giving this team some structure. Something to rely on on days like that.

We have been outplayed today by a Leicester side, that wasn't in great form at all... It is concerning. I am not for sacking him, it would only disrupt stuff badly. But we seriously have to start planning the future.

I’m surprised that bit when he took off a central midfielder and replaced him with a central midfielder in the 81st minute wasn’t the catalyst for our comeback into the game. Can’t deny he rolled the dice there
