Donny and Mctom should be trialled as it has a reasonable balance. Donny is the one who can progress the ball. He would link well with sancho with quick 1,2s. Bruno is the other worry. Plays like a striker almost on the last man. Now we have Ronny he needs to play deeper. His glory balls mean...

Last few games has been braver with the ball, looking to run with it and take a man on. Good to see.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2021/jan/23/manchester-united-lack-of-philosophy-an-advantage-chaotic-times Interesting take on managers having a 'philosophy' and Oles perceived lack of one. Those managers with a rigid philosophy may not have the longevity, eg Bielsa. Even Pep has...

A couple of missed chances away from a completely different outlook. I wish Ole would bring VDB on in these games, he would allow us to progress the ball in the midfield and improve our ball retention. City are looking good but in this weird season we must make a fight of it. Be brave Ole, No...

Thought he wasn't playing as many of the lower percentage passes last night. Was a tad more conservative. Ole may have had a word about giving up possession and inviting pressure on ourselves. Overall had a tidy game. He has set the bar so high he seems to be judged on unfair standards.

The difference is who is in front of him. If we want him to pass forward then we need runners, movement and options. You can only blame someone for sideways, backward passing, dwelling on and losing the ball if he's avoiding the forward passes. We now have so much more in front of him and hence...

If we want to be in with a shout to win the league we must be braver tactically. Whilst everyone is dropping points we shouldn't be afraid of taking a risk or 2 to bag the 3 points. E.g Donny should have come on against City, they were there for the taking. Liverpool have a makeshift back 4 but...

We have 2 English full backs who can't even get into the England squad. There was a time being a United player was good enough to get you there or thereabouts :smirk:. I'm hoping Telles can have a similar influence to TAA, seems similar in attributes, good crosser, not especially pacy with some...

Move Ole to DoF. He understands the club and is clearly trying to bring the traditions of the club back. He seems to have an understanding of the type of player that would suit and I can see him working well with the manager, Butt and youth teams. Then get Poch in, ie someone who coaches the...
