    When James was getting treatment the camera zoomed in on Ols’s face, he looked like he just saw his wife in bed with another man. He needs to grow a pair as that fear/pain on he’s face will rub off on the players.
    Wow. A little over the top don't you think

    Really inexcusable to be this poor.

    We clearly have no idea on how to play against this very organised defence. Movement and wing play were non existent so far.
    This, and this is because we've got a manager who plays a counter-attacking side against every opponent, regardless of whether it's City away or Palace at home. Boggles the mind

    Pogba his usual self. Lindelof soft as shite. OGS so far out of his depth. Can’t wait to see Greenwood come on for the last 5 :drool:

    Lots of stops in play due to injuries and freeckicks really disrupted our promising start. Lingard is pathetic in that creative role yet again.

    This is basically LVG football back again. How many saves have keeper made against us in three games? We were just clinical Vs Chelsea.

    I am relaxed. Ole went to watch youth team on his free day. And smiled. So i have faith in him to fix this. Attack, midfield, general play, selection, creating chances...
    Next year we will beat Palace. I am fully confident. He just needs time
    Haha probably new manager next year and still will lose to palace

    I would've been delighted to see Pogba leave if we could've found a replacement. Closest I've ever been to hating a current player. For all his ability, his attitude is appalling and he can never be relied on.

    James and Lingard = playing with 9 men. Not that it's necessarily James' fault. He has nothing to work with here.

    Ole putting on a grand display of what an absolute tactical novice he is. If it isn't us sitting deep and counterattacking he has absolutely no fecking clue.

    This is the sort of game we should be pushing Pogba up behind Martial. You're not beating Palace with pace unless they're chasing the game.

    Not enough creative quality. It’s almost comical that we never addressed it in the summer. Too much reliance on our players improving.

    Same old same old.

    Lindelof still can't win a header
    Pogba is still being a child when he doesn't the fouls from the referee
    Lingard is still doing nothing but pressing
    Shaw still getting injured

    Nothing ever changes.

    Pathetic performance that we have watched on repeat for years now.

    Lucky to scrape a draw here.

    James should be off at halftime for Greenwood or Pereira. Lingard as well. But we know that ain’t happening

    Get one of the top 3 off, bring on Matic, move Pogba forward. Lingard or James. Neither are offering anything.

    No idea what to do when we ha e the ball and teams sit back. Same as last season. Nothing changed. You can get your players running around for 90 mins as much as you like but if you have no clue how to train your team to unlock tight defenses you won't make it here as a manager.

    I can’t believe Jordan Ayew scored against us man we should be relegated just for that embarrassment.

    The state of our 500k/wk attack. That honeymoon is almost over, it seems.

    We are bereft of creativity. But we already knew that, so hopefully we will exploit our rare opportunities.

    Why does he do that, when even with Molde he didn’t play that style? I don’t get it, do you really think Ole does that only?!?

    Absolutely atrocious.

    Players aren’t good enough, our play-style is horrible, and we’re losing to this lot at home.

    Ole doesn't seem to understand that Lingard is especially useless in a games like this, where opponents sit deep and defend. We need a number 10 that has creativity and passing ability.

    well that's it for me, we aren't getting 2 goals in the 2nd half and watching the team run around like they have no clue will just infuriate me

    OGS talks about youth but never uses them. It’s plain obvious he reads red cafe and says what needs to be said.

    If this continues for another month I want him out.
    Oh piss off. He's benched Matic in favour of McTominay. He's got rid of Lukaku and trying to get rid of Alexis so our youngsters will get more minutes. We've maybe the youngest team in the league. What more do you want?

    Ole needs to prove his salt here. I'm sorry, Ole - losing at home to Crystal Palace and being outsmarted by Roy Hodgson isn't gonna wash, lad.

    He's had his summer. He's had his window. He's talked a good game. Now prove your worth and light a fecking fire under these reprobates for the second half.

    Two changes left. Make one within 10mins of the half.
