    The positive thing is; this time around, if we get beat he's definitely getting fired.

    I just hope to see big changes to the starting 11. Players facing the consequences of their shite performances.

    De Gea
    Dalot Bailly Lindeloff Teles
    Sancho Vdb Matic Lingard
    Ronaldo Cavani

    Those who are picking Maguire, is it because you think he actually deserves to play, or because we just don't have anyone else, or just because you're predicting what Ole will do?

    Literally every match at least one of the goals we give up is a direct result of Maguire either being lazy or doing something stupid. Sometimes it's multiple goals per match.

    Resurgence Fc will make an appearance. 4-0 FT. Watford is trash.

    We should be able to smash and grab to climb our way back to 5th against this lot but not holding my breath with the bipolar results we've been putting out. We'll probably manage a draw.

    Probably a draw and more dropped points.

    Same here. This team looks close to finished and Ole can't control single aspect of our game. Even if by some miracle we appoint new guy, I'm not putting bigger faith in this collective, in fact think it will take time for United supporters to trust in any appointment whatsoever.

    It looks rotten and deprived of any professionalism and simply there's nothing to root for at this stage... but of course Ronaldo will be forced to perform miracles while others learning on the job how to pass in straight line.

    I'd be shocked if he's sacked before Watford. We'll go on to have our typical up/down results and it will be the same thing after every defeat. It's a gut punch every week until the end of the season.

    Should be a win, even in our dreadful state. Villarreal, Chelsea and Arsenal after that though :nervous:

    We're not beating these guys. I thought Ole would be fired when we lose to Chelsea on the 28th and this result will bring him closer to that. 1-1.

    whoever is in charge (hopefully not Ole), I hope we see wholesale changes.

    Defence needs a real shakeup, I’d genuinely consider Phil Jones at RB, AWB has given up completely and same with Shaw, play Telles at LB.

    Change the midfield with at least VdB starting and possibly Matic in place of one of McFred. Id also start Lingard in place of Bruno, completely non-existent on Saturday and is another one that’s given up.

    Not confident at all, getting to the stage where it’s inevitable we’ll drop points.

    You'd think this game would be a 3 pointer in the midst of all the big games we have... but remember that they handily beat Everton, a side that we struggled against.

    Any result here outside of any outlandish record breaking scoreline wouldn't be a surprise as long as Ole is still in charge.

    Ole will 100% still be here. Much like against Spurs, we'll win maybe 3-1 after a dull performance, and posters on here will be talking about turning corners. Then we'll put on two utter shit fests against Villarreal and Chelsea.

    Positives - it’s not on the TV so they can’t inflict Ole ball on me

    Negatives - in a sadomasochistic manner, I’ll end up watching it via some dodgy site

    Throwing more defenders in didn't work, I propose we pick as many forwards as possible.

    D.D.G
    A.W.B Maguire Shaw

    Bruno V.D.B
    Sancho Greenwood Cavani Ronaldo Rashford



    Midfield? Who needs a midfield? United DNA attacking football get that ball forward and I'm sure the forwards and AM's Will create just make some random runs or don't who knows they will work it out im sure.

    If Ole is not at the wheel for this game, I expect an easy win for United.

    Ronaldo in the 86 min saves us and we get a lucky 1-1 draw if Ole still manager

    I've had the same issues during the Liverpool and City games, whilst the club don't care, nor do I. We're going absolutely nowhere with this management team and I've got feck all interest watching a club go through the motions. Worst of all for me is that we're wasting one of Ronaldo's final seasons in football.
    I'll be ironing many pairs of underwear whenever United play with Ole at the Wheel, I'm completely apathetic to our matches now.

    Dig up stupid!
    I think he'll dump the 5 and go back to pre Liverpool 424

    They'll be at least 5 goals in the game but they could literally come in any configuration

    I think we'll nick a high scoring back and forth chaos fest

    if Ole is in charge you already know how it will go.

    If I was DVB or any other player that has no chance under him I would just stay at home. feck him. If the team were sweeping all in front of them aside then yah you have to work your ass off to get into the side but when the ole faves are utter utter crap for months you have to wonder how players that dont play stay motivated.

    Ole's likely still in charge for the game which is madness. What's next, a 1-9-1 formation?

    Nonsense, they make millions. I'd even argue if he was called upon to sit on the bench for the reserves, he should.

    Genuinely scared about this game. Watford has honest to God pace in attack. Our defence is about as switched on as a broken lightbulb. Can see us getting embarrassed if something totally unexpected doesn't happen.

    He'll go ultra attacking 2-4-4 to save his job. Watford will hit us on the counter and sit back to ride out the win.
    Fans will burn effigies of Ole in the street and Woodwards house will get burgled.
    I will sit in a corner and cry myself to sleep again.

    Nah he shouldn't - he should force them to sell him in Jan.
