I just saw that, it's crazy. With one game in hand, we seem to be doing OK offensively and we are yet to see Martial and Greenwood hit the ground running as you said.
Look we are all happy we won today, but to make statements like that is madness gone mad, sorry but one goal from open play in 6 matches at home in the league prior till today is hardly "scoring for fun" pal
He is here two years now, so how long more before you think he will be able to do that and how much more of a spent does he need to do too achieve that ? Not a pop at Ole just a question, as have all the respect in the world for the guy since June 98 and that wont change whether he does get the bullet or not.
Aah, so we're not doing well, it's just that everybody else is crap. Right. Gotcha.Our defense is still crapluckily Sheffield and Leeds are shit at finishing most of the time they had a go at us.
Our finishing is also still crap as does other glaring issues...
Why so happy with the results against two shit teams. Scoreline seems to suggest we dominated the game, not really. We dominated the scoreline, but not the performances on the pitch. I mean we didn't control the game. Their defense is so bad and playing way too high line which suits us giving us plenty of spaces. We also didn't control the tempo of the game.. yes I know we're not interested in doing that. Did we even dominate possession? I remember Leeds dominate possession in this game. They had plenty. We could've control the game by dominating possession and strong defense, killing the game but the fact we couldn't against two supposedly shit teams seems to suggest there are problems... or we're just not good at it. That's embarrassing. We should've killed the game so much so they gave up but they didn't because of how easy attacking through our crap defense is so the hope to score is there. Our finishing is again terrible. Should've score more in both games. Other teams have better defense and won't let us had those many chances.
The league is crap this season, and thankfully we hit increasing good form as the other teams are turning crap. Our standards are still so low, I don't see the need to be happy about it. I do feel content of course so far. Surely this team could and should go more than this.
This kind of thread pop up every time we get "amazing results", I believe it's called reactionary thread or something.
Ah so Sancho is someone who always creates lots of chances at home and never has an off day. I see
Very well said.
Same narrative on DAZN, and I had to endure it for 90min...
We are 2nd highest scorers in the league with 28 goals in 13 games (despite our home anomaly). Thats more than 2 goals per game on average. So yes, I do think our team has bags of goals within it.
Spot on regarding our defense. It's there for everyone to see it was just as good as that of Liverpool or City last season.
The defence concerns me but I do think they can do better. I think they need to though. I don't think it's a freak thing as some have suggested. We just concede soft goals far too easily. Other teams can have spells in games where they come under a bit of pressure and might concede a chance or two but don't necessarily concede goals. With us you know we're letting one in as soon as the other team is on top for more than a couple of minutes. Our defenders are definitely better than that even if they have their faults.
Again a very bizarre reply. "Ah so Van Dijk is someone who always keeps a clean sheet and never has an off day".
Yes this is true. Or appalling in one half, amazing in the next. Manic-depressive united
Why make such a drivel of comment/reply? Because he mentioned numbers of money spent for signings under Ole?
Ofcourse there is.
explain it to me then.
Tbh, the OP has posted threads like this before. Basically we have a good few games and they make a thread baiting anyone who doesn't think OGS is going to win us a title. Then when something goes wrong, they lay low for a while.
Only if you believe that OGS and Man United are the exact same thing.
I'd like to be proven wrong but I imagine we'll eventually have a bad run of form again and then a better run when we'll be treated to the third "told you so" thread (by my count, there may be others).
Once again we dont need our attack improved. Its been one of the best in the league and it was our strong point last season
Do you seriously think anyone who would prefer a different manager doesn't support the club? If they didn't, they wouldn't care who was in charge.
Do you think we would have 14 shots on goal if we didn’t exploit the space they left behind? This was a match where we punished them to the max with fast direct vertical play when we had the ball, exploiting their weaknesses. We had 14 shots on goal they had 3. If we wanted to win the possession stats, we could easily have done that, but that would have resulted in a much less flattering result. We dominated the shit out of‘em, and this was easily the best approach to this game.Our defense is still crap
Our finishing is also still crap as does other glaring issues...

Statistically it definitely wasn't our strong point last season.

Correct
It was in the 2nd half of last season, the only time we had any form
Whats there to explain, there is % of fan base thats Ole in regardless, same goes with Ole out, all of that has feck all to do with supporting United.
Going for Sancho isn't the problem. In fact when we play at a tempo, we can create and waste chances for fun. We have young defenders coming through. Our biggest problem is concentration. We can help our defence by not only defending from the front but also being more clinical in front of goal. We're not that far off really but Sancho would create such a buzz. As a team we have to defend better and we can but also Sancho would give us the best attack in the league and one that's very youthful. It might seem overkill, but for me United should be looking to have the best English talent. When someone like Sancho comes available, we have to be in the mix.
We conceded 13 goals in 19 games in the 2nd of last season.
Totally agree. Love watching this team grow right before our eyes. The melodramatic Twitter fans and their constant negativity can suck it.
Who are the they who speak about?
steep learning curve and I think we are still on the up. If one more player fully steps up and shares the major creative burden with Bruno then we actually have a decent chance. We really need to capitalise on Bruno’s form!
We've scored 2nd most goals in the league, with a game in hand. We're obviously doing something right.
can't we save the gloating until we're a little more secure?Second highest scorers in the league with a game in hand on most suggest otherwise. Yes our home form wasn't great before today but lack of preparation has obviously had an affect. I personally don't think it's a madness comment, we are dangerous everytime we go forward.

I agree with the sentiment in this post. The CL exit was by finer margins than has been widely regarded. Even #5 is a potential learning opportunity for Ole, a-la 'next time just go for it so you don't have any regrets'.
