You could make a sound board from his previous ones and get a monkey to press the buttons. It'd be the same thing.

Haven't watched it. If someone has watched it, please let me know if there is anything different to what's mentioned below



Boys had a nice break and we are raring to go.

Donny is training well and people have to wait for their chances. Noone has been on bench like me.

We are all waiting for Pogba to come back and help us.

Ronaldo is a brilliant player and I am glad to have him in my team.

We are still trying with Jesse and hope we can change his mind . I will give him minutes and he deserves it.

Criticism is part of this club . If you are a club captain you will always be scrutinized. Think Harry had a brilliant 2 games and we all want him ready tomorrow.

I always have my management support. I am no way feeling insecure. Yes, the results has to improve starting tomorrow. Boys are ready to show who we are. We will show a real fight against a mighty Watford

He said that he utilized the time during the International break to the fullest.

Not going to bother watching this as I’ll be tempted to launch my phone if I do but let me guess he said something along the lines of….”We’re looking to bounce back, the boys have trained really hard and we’ll look to play on the front foot and be more attacking, the United way blah blah blah”

Every time I see Simon Stone on webcam giving questions it cracks me up :lol:

Guy sounds like he's on the toilet, and it astounds me at how he refuses to get a proper remote work set-up. His webcam might as well be on the floor!

Someone said he needs to win this game, in my mind he needs to try to win every game between now and end of January to make his job safe. We can't continue to win a game, draw a game, lose a game, win two games, lose a game.... that has to turn into mostly wins and a few draws.

About 70% here.
Same shit different week.

We go again.
The team is training well.
The break was good for everyone.
The atmosphere is positive and we are working on a few things.

I thought that was a joke, but he actually said it:lol::lol::lol:
According to reports he had crisis talks with the likes of Ronaldo, Maguire and co. I wonder how he can meet these guys with a straight face and asking them to show intensity and consistency after they were sweating it out for their national team while he was enjoying a holiday with his family

Depressed Conference.

I'm not convinced we go to Watford and win. Yeah, they're a bit rubbish, but they're gonna sit back and counter-attack and that's Ole's kryptonite.

International break blah
Everyone is training well
Jesse is training well.
Ignored the contract situation
We should enjoy the pressure we put ourselves under, enjoy the game against Watford.
Pogba and Varane still out injured

i can't listen to anymore of this crap.

This just makes no sense.

Almost as little sense as saying "the players love playing football, they enjoy playing football".

I should fecking hope so, they are being paid well enough to do it.

"yes you're right the first thing you would want to do after the defeat is to go get back on the training ground and work on things".......then he flees to Norway for a holiday. What a legend. He really loves the club.

The pressure after getting thrashed by Liverpool and City at home should be a joy

Looked mean, ready for the fight. Encouraging.
He looks drained, beaten. Feel a bit sorry for him to be honest.

Nothing is good about this situation for anybody involved, him included.

Tomorrow we will see if he still has the players playing for him or if they are willing to down tools like some of them have for previous managers when things get bad.

For Ole to save his job, he has to answer the questions we had going into the season. The difference now is he no longer gets the benefit the doubt. He needs to win games and win them with control.

1) he has to prove that he's capable of managing this group of players.
2) he has to show a clear system that we are playing with.
3) he has to show that our team is capable of consistently breaking down low blocks.
4) He has to show that we can move the ball out from the back without too much hesitation, it's been a struggle throughout his tenure outside of project restart.
5) he has to win a consistent run of games between now and at least january( with draw allowances on the Chelsea game)

If he manages to do all these things and stays past January, he has to win a meaningful trophy.. FA Cup or Champions League whilst securing top 4.

If he can do all these things, then we would have a manager with a clear tactical system, who can manage big egos, can win games with his style and can win trophies.
