I like how Ole is getting rid of certain players but I think the club made a dear mistake in not signing some sort of established striker in the last window. Maguire, AWB and james are great signings I must say, but even if we kept Sanchez and lukaku, we still needed reinforcements. They left and we still didn't bolster the attack. Why?
No doubt a top quality striker would be nice, but i think the hopes were that Martial and/or Rashford would make the step up this year and become 20+ goals a season players
Keyword is hope
That was allmost as embarrassing as the rest of your posting.
No its not, its develop.
True, but what available, young quality strikers are out there? Imo, Martial has never gotten a fair chance at making the CF spot his own and the same, albeit to a lesser extent can be said about Rashford.
Agreed on this.
Very confident. He needs another Summer of recruitment to get it completely right.
As a member of "Ole is not good enough" group( Ole out just sounds ugly) i can say that i want to see this team playing like it should do with players that we have. I have no problem at all playing defensive football on counter attacks against stronger teams away. I have no problem with dropping points against weaker teams then and there. But i have a huge problem with our manager when he plays the same against every club, i have a problem when we can't dominate bottom clubs at Old Trafford and especially i have a huge problem with the fact that when we score first, we immediately go in defensive mod. We did that in every bloody game including even Astana. That is why we can't score more than one goal per game.
I think you are overlooking that believing in the youth also implies buying young players, not necessarily putting all faith in the youth team of today.
How "tactically clueless" must he be given the bad run they are in?
But...but..he built a team!
Exactly. Spurs fans going in hard on him at the moment. Beat the Hammers tomorrow and we'll be at least 3rd. Fans are so fickle anyway.
Turns out a drab 1-0 against Leicester isn't bad after all... The mouth breathers will have to frantically search for something else to throw at Ole this weekend.
Don't worry the matchday thread will not disappoint.
Slow and steady, points are all that matter right now. I'm still pissed at our disjointed attacking play but with Martial back we might get more from the balls James puts in. All good managers have to start somewhere and Ole is the least of our problems right now. I hope to see us improve as a team and get that top four with a couple of good cup wins thrown in.
Makes you laugh doesn’t it?
If they think the chairman is the problem, then he should stay well clear of here as we have Woody in charge, and he is even worse.
Nuh-uh.
There's Irony there somewhere.
Just asking for consistency, considering this same manager who many have lambasting all season has had a better WDL record since he came in to the league than Poch, and the rest of the league with the exception of Pep and Klopp. That too, with a squad that isn't his for all intents and purposes.
Says the poster with a username that belongs in a boyband song.
So backing the manager makes you a fanboy and pathetic clutcher at straws?
Poch being beaten by the team Ole was slatted for only beating 1-0 last weekend.So backing the manager makes you a fanboy and pathetic clutcher at straws?
What made you this upset? It must be difficult watching our games if you dislike the man this much.
Wow, burn!
Morphed in to Rodgers fanbois, since he beat them this week. Next week when Rodgers loses to N’castle, Bruce would be the flavor of the month.
So you want him to fail?
No, he failed last season.
It's not just manager. They don't back our players as well. Our fan base wants marquee signings and a big name manager and instant results but also will blame the scouting system for not signing the hidden gems. If it's up to our fan base, we're looking at 12 ins and 12 outs every season.
Really? Run his stats for his full reign last season and you may find they weren’t as bad as you recall.
Finished 3rd in the league since he came in, beat PSG to reach CL QFs- something no one was expecting, reached FA Cup QF- beating Arsenal and Chelsea away!
Wait? He didn’t do better than city or Liverpool after taking over a demoralised team?
Got to be a WUM. But it’s a post that sums up this place nicely. I hope you start to support another team. Hopefully one that Pochetinno (who is that?) manages.
My first Utd manager was Tommy Docherty.Agree. No way in hell he is Man Utd supporter!
