I'll always support. We aren't going anywhere though under this manager who clearly isn't good enough so it's hard to be overly invested in results.

Hope we win but a win is bad for our future.
What a catch 22.
I don't think it matters at this point; Ole isn't going anytime soon. They're holding out for as long as they can, I think. I think they're hoping Ole can withstand enough to still be here for the time that Poch gets sacked.
I dont think he could survive a defeat or draw with Watford.
We'd have either 4 or 5 points from 21
Poch Rodgers are both uninspiring, and though better then Ole they arent what we need to compete with City/Liv/Chelsea.
Again, Poch is the ideal as he is non-confrontational and has delivered top 4 at Spurs on a shoestring budget. Our next appointment won't be about who's best placed to help us win the league either.
If Josh King scores the winner, you can imagine the field day the journo's would have. Wank bank material for narrative pedalers.I’m guessing a loss here won’t cost Ole his job? He’ll probably get another ‘3 games’ to prove himself.
Possibly, I’m just insanely numb to the fact that we got spanked 5-0 at home by our biggest rivals and then totally outclassed (again at home) by our domestic rivals and the guy was still standing to go for a holiday for a bit and come back like nothing happened
Yeah our standards are rock bottom but I'd assume he needs to win against the shite teams and win one game every 3 if he wants to keep his job.
Dude he survived much much much worse at this point than just another defeat at Watford..
I'd hope the dopes in charge would look at the fact we'd have 4 points from 21.
I truly admire your optimismI hope we play well and score many goals. Come on United!
As long as he is clapped off like a clown in the arena nothing will happen either. It's the fanbase' fault too no matter how big their outcry is whenever that's mentioned.
And best of all, those who dare to doubt that Ole, after blowing half a billion and yet being paraded by our biggest rivals, is the right man for the job, are made out to be gloryhunters. And anyone who dares to say that he feels numb in the face of our board's inaction and no longer really looks forward to the games is asked to become a cityfan. The know-it-all and high horse brigade are very strongly represented at United.I still think players coming out of the qualifiers will find it hard to get on with it. Ole will stick to his stubborn 3-4-1-2 format and make it difficult for everyone. He might switch it up in the second half but I seriously doubt if he will start a 4-2-3-1. The man is pretty adamant when it comes to picking the side and the formations regardless of what others say. He might pay the price for it with his job this time if he is not careful. A win is not guaranteed for sure, I think it will be a difficult game at Vicarage road.
You'd have said the same about losing 5-0 to LFC. He survived.
You'd have said the same about losing to MCFC. He not only survived but went on holiday.
If he fails to beat Watford, he'll definitely survive. 99%.
Yeah I feel bad wanting us to draw or lose but this experiment needs to end
Yeah really hard to care about results when he's drowning in mediocrity isn't itWe’ll make watford look like world beaters but Ronaldo and Bruno will save us the embarrassment. 3-2 win, Ole with fists up in the air celebrating another week he’s saved from the sack. Then a post match interview comparing Ronaldo to Brady to further solidify his head being stuck right up the Glazers’ arses.A crappy performance and win and can expect a “ Ole proving his haters wrong” post
Yeah wouldn't be in the least bit surprised if we get an NFL reference in the next six months, after all we have already had the NBA one this season.Can't see us not winning this one - feels like a sort of game we'd win comfortably before shitting the bed elsewhere.
Me neither but just delays the inevitable when we need the change RIGHT NOWWatford are winning this. Utd are a joke..
Enjoy City game pal
You’d still want the team to win regardless. The writing is on the wall for him he’ll eventually get sacked . I just can’t want anything else than a win every time we play.
Poor wumI’d love to see an attacking, attempt to play football lineup but I know Ole is only focused on holding onto his job for as long as possible regardless of how it leaves us. My ideal lineup but not holding my breath.
De Gee
AWB Bailey Maguire Shaw
VDB Pogba
Bruno
Sancho Ronaldo Rashford
Pogba is injured. Sp swap him for Matic and I think it's a decent lineup.
Though we're fooling ourselves, we'll get McFred again, with Greenwood replacing Sancho.
Ohh yeah forgot his out for several weeks. Tbh I don’t mind either one of Matic, Fred, or McTominay each have their strength and weaknesses and none are extremely great as CDM (Matic due to age) , when it’s annoying is when you have two of them playing at the cost of players like VDB, Pogba etc .
Honestly, If Ole played Greenwood as CF once in a while I’d respect him as a manager who at least tries to develop young players. Greenwood is an out and out number 9, he’s not learning anything for 80% of the match playing wide.
The games v City and Scousers were pivotal to Moyes and
We shouldn't need to - we are Man Utd, not Aston Villa. Competent owners would have seen enough by now. Their owners however haven't allowed expectations to be lowered and have acted swiftly after significant summer spending.
If changing club was a remote possibility for any of us do you think we'd really be on here tearing our hair out everyday and despairing at the way our club is run?
I'll only ever support Utd which is why I desperately want us to get it right and start competing again - we have the squad for it (for now).Hopeful that some common sense is shown here although it is doubtful. We need to bin the back 3 as it does not make best use of our resources and only worked at Spurs because they were terrible. We should seriously look at using the squad and focusing on guys who were rested during the internationals and also avoid rushing Shaw into the team as it sounds like his concussion issues are lingering. I doubt we are bold enough to leave Bruno and Ronny on the bench but I certainly would. The team should be;
DDGI expect instead Bruno over Lingard, Ronny over Martial and Scott instead of VDB.
AWB Lindelof Maguire Telles
Matic VDB
Sancho Lingard Rashford
Martial
The iPad that ole uses battery ran out last season and they haven't told him how to recharge it, so he practices his smiling from the reflection it gives off ready for the interviews after the match.What's the point of expending energy on whether a win means a manager change is put off or not. Let that come when it comes. In the mean time, the pressing concern is that this team has to start winning games again, whether it's under OGS or someone else. And it has to do so with these players.Watford are shite so even at our worst we should surely get the 3 points.....right?
I think Watford have worse home form than us, which is some doing. United will definitely win.Not expecting it but hope Amad is involved
That's the biggest issue here.
What, over Sancho and Greenwood? Why, exactly?
And that's supposing we play 4231, which in itself would be unexpected. If not, there's not even a slot Diallo could play in.- Status
