Hilarious that some fans here think that prolonged protests or boycotts will help the club. Imagine being a prospective buyer or sponsor of the club. Imagine them having to deal with a constantly hostile fan base, much like Newcastle in the past. Would they jump in and suffer potential abuse...

Agree. Fans have short memory. It wasn't that long ago that we were playing fluid, attacking football. Its not possible for our present squad to do so against every team. Injuries aside, there is always the question of the quality of the opponents that the team is facing. I know the...

Yes, we didn't pin West Ham down from start to finish and we scored only 3 goals away when we should have beaten them 20 - nil. We are pathetic. Teams like West Ham under Moyes especially can't possibly put up any fight against us. Every team, including PSG, should all be fodder for us every...

It's one of those games that nothing goes right I feel. Palace had only two attacks and scored from two. We had a penalty and hit the post. Lady luck basically left us and what can we do? Having said that, for Young to cover Shaw in the top flight goes to show how crap our squad is at the...

Chelsea played well to be honest. They will give problems to a lot of the top teams.

Who would've thought we would thump Chelsea 4-0 for our first game. Anyway, I thought we were poor in the first half and rode our luck then. Chelsea had a better pressing game but since they did not score it's only a matter of time before their energy sapped and provide us with opportunities...

Back is always the place you need to stabilise first. I remember the days when Fergie spent big on defenders like Pallister, Ferdinand, etc. Once Ole's back four is stable, he can then spend on building the mid and top. And if he has a decent enough season, maybe making into cup finals, then I...

I think they have taken the right step in focusing on youth instead of the first team, quick fix solutions. Remember, we have bought quite a number of promising, much sought after youth players. They could grow to become first team players in about 3 to 5 years time. Meantime, Ole has to deal...

All we need is a couple of goals along with clean sheets and players' confidence and mood will get better, along with the sentiments of the fans. That said, I am fearing a bad start for the team since we are playing Chelsea. Might take a while before the team really settles.

All this moaning won't help the team one bit. They need confidence and you are just knocking them down further with "we are not good enough" crap. Did Leicester win the league previously by signing in superstars like Dybala, Erikson, etc? No, they did so with a bunch of unknown, so how can you...

To be fair, I think they are looking for more than 2 players but due to the high prices, the club isn't moving as we want them to. Also, we can't simply get rid of the deadwood when there isn't much demand for them. Hence, the only option for Ole is to work with what he has got and that includes...

I for one do not think that we will be challenging for titles this upcoming season. The theme here is to rebuild and you don't rebuild in just one season. Besides, I would like to see what Ole can do with limited resources, to gauge if he is good enough as a manager. If it's only two that we...

Look forward to boys showing their senior how it should be done. We shouldn't be looking to challenge for the title but rather changing the team's style of play from being passive and reactive to playing an attractive brand of football, and to stick to it regardless of results or position in the...

Exactly. Suarez was also trouble but look what he did for Liverpool and Barcelona. Part of being a great manager is to be able to manage big or troublesome personalities, and who is to say that Ole won't be able to manage Rabiot properly as Fergie once did with Eric Cantona. Plus he is free!

Fergie was great at handling different players with different egos. I believe Ole is similar and if he is able to motivate Rabiot just like he was able to motivate most of our current set of players, he may just get the best out of him. The club can always sell him if he turns out to be a turd...
