Not really sure I understand.
We can challenge. It seems like everyone can challenge. But I'm not expecting because there are still some gap to first and most Liverpool and ManCity.
I'm one of biggest defenders for Solskjaer in here. But I also know there is not limited time around. I think with 2-3 years behind him (after this year) and a pretty good squad we can be ready to make the challenge. One that I expect.
If we were at a later stage of the season, the idea of getting a result against Chelsea that would keep us ahead of them (at least potentially) would have been fine. Five games into the season, it's just too early to be looking at that sort of thing. We were at home, and a home game we don't win is two points dropped.
No clubs like Barca, Real and Munich will never go on a run like ours - because let's be honest here, they are without serious competition.
Yeah Liverpool's & City's problems make it so frustrating that we aren't able to take more advantage of the situation and games like Saturday should be seen as an opportunity to do that.
Ole doesn't hide, the man's a winner. Is he going to try for the title - you bet he will. Is he going to come out publicly proclaim that? Of course not, why would he do that and put more pressure on the team and the club. The reality is that winning the league is not just turning up with a squad of very good players. You have to (A) have players who can perform consistently at the top level and (B) learn what it means to challenge.
The key is being too reliant. The point I was making is that we are over-reliant on Fernandes. We don't have the quick play to break teams down, and just end up hoping that Fernandes turns out something great.
Lampard - Substitute teacher
Typical of you, nothing more to add than insulting and stupid comments.
Bit harsh on LVG given his influence on Pep. LVG at United isn't how LVG played football for his career prior - it should serve as a warning to Arteta that recruitment is so key for the offensive players in their tactics given on paper what LVG was trying to do at United was high level what Pep did at City. There are obviously nuances to their ideas and tactics but they come from the same school of thought and broadly speaking setup teams to play in a similar way.

Yeah very frustrating indeed and definitely feels like a real missed opportunity due to our pretty average transfer window
This is all very true until you realise Ole and the coaches have a massive say in whether our players perform. Through unlucky circumstances, lack of squad depth etc, call it whatever you want it, we really haven't seen any kind of tactical consistency to suggest we're going building progressively upwards and onwards.
Many of us have already done this several times: top four. Within 10-12 points Of league winners or 75 + points. Get into a final. Have established a reliable method to beat low block park bus teams.Not ventured into here for a while but wow some of you are getting tetchy. Capitals and bold blocked text ffs that used to get you warned
Just pre-agree what he needs to do result wise to keep his job and wait til he does or doesn't do it. It's the only way his backers will concede a point and it's the only way his detractors can be kept happy. If his backers aren't willing to do that you really don't have a leg to stand on when people complain.
We know missing out on top 4 will get him sacked and being a good bit off top 4 by Christmas. I'd say where we are now if he doesn't get 6pts in the next 5 games he'll be gone.
I would be more than happy with a title challenge. My post was more aimed at the views of some on here (although not Ole - I have no idea what he thinks) that top 4/finish within 10-15 points of the leaders is the only target. Given this season is unlikely to see a team accumulating a vast points total as in the previous three seasons, there is no reason why we can’t be in the mix, even if we do fall short for some of the reasons you mention.
How old are you?
That's not true, those who were Ole out including myself changed our minds when he achieved a slightly lesser criteria last season. If he achieves people will be fair.
I think it takes a bigger man to realise they have/was/is both are crap. Regardless of conditions, mitigating circumstances etc. I mean LVG fanatics whoever they are, Come out come out,Didn’t know they existed could point out his lack of squad depth and unfortunate injury records. But nobody does. Tyler Blackett played CB
Either way - this and the Nagelsmann - thread will be absolute comedy gold with meltdowns everywhere to be seen.
Stop talking about Pep in that way, he's a footballing god.
what's wrong in what he wrote?
Then this is an issue for OleOUTers and no-one else. Are you saying the club change its management approach to knee jerk decision making just to satisfy a small minority of its fan base?
I just don’t like people preaching about how to support the club and not going through the dark ages when there 37 years old and can’t even remember Ryan Giggs’s debut but want us to believe they know about hardship supporting United.
Tom Cato bringing the heat on some poor soul. How do you know ole out is a small minority?
I get why you don't want to lay out any ongoing criteria for the management as you'd actually have to concede on points rather than wumming if the worst happened.
The match go'ers are firmly Ole In...
And the youtube fan channels are Ole out. I wonder why.
