I don't think it's down to the manager. He was brave, put out his best 11. Our bench was pretty weak in comparison. We used to have strength in depth, we lack that, so he doesn't trust them. A new manager with this same squad won't win a prem or CL either.
well that's not true is it
I agree but it was fine for Klopp and it worked out just fine. They didn't win anything the next two seasons.
I doubt at this stage we'll win either again in my lifetime, it was 26 years before Fergie, Liverpool went 31 years, it could happen
We had a team out there that was man for man better than the other one. How is that brave? He has come as far as he can but ultimately is out of his depth. fecking Rapid Vienna beat Villarreal a couple of years back without much fuss. And a trillion dollar squad can't. We are so poorly coached it's beyond funny at this stage. But noting will he done because it's Ole
Well, we all expected him to start McFred, if he would have done that, you'd have said, he was weak and bottled it.. haha
Fred wasnt fit.
Ole needs players that have three lungs. J.S.
We've just finished 2nd 12 points off first and for some reason we won't be anywhere near the PL?!
If we took out bruno and cavani i don't think we'd even qualify for europa.
Eh no I wouldn't. I'd still say we are a good bit off competing for the too trophies because well we are. Without major improvements I don't see us pushing City next season. Do you honestly think we will? I doubt it.
Wasn't he? I saw he come on, I never heard the build up or anything. So if he wasn't my bad. Ultimately, I've been saying to a friend, that for us to go further we would need a better tactical manager. Ole's in game management does leave me scratching my head at times, so I do agree with your notion to some degree. But, I just feel, another manager coming in still wouldn't get this squad winning the bigger titles. It's not that great beyond that 11.
I do think we're going to challenge next year....but only with 2 or 3 signings. Without those we'd struggle. We're not as bad as we think but we're not as good as we think either. I believe that we're a great team and have done really well in the league this season, but without improvements in the summer, we're not going anywhere fast. It's a very important summer, almost the most important summer of MUFC since SAF left the club.
Let’s be realistic, the owners are now using him as a human shield. They’ll never sack him as long as we get top 4. If they sack him
Have we all forgotten how much abuse Chelsea fans gave Lampard for joining City.
Even if that’s true it means we should be even further away from them than we were four years ago. It’s actually crazy that they keep spending as much as they do when they are so far ahead. They now have two 11’s that could win the league. Surely they have to slow down their spend at some point.
We can't even win competitions that you think are beneath us
Oh they'll just cite the playing style and a myriad of other subjective stats to justify their "progress" excuse. That's because deep down they know he will never win anything important, he simply doesn't have the tactical talent or the winning mentality to compete with the very best. Remember how he claimed trophies are just an ego thing and said his team was not good enough to compete just as they reached the top of the table. This man just exudes so much winning attitude. No wonder his team are a bunch of bottlers when they're expected to win anything. That kind of mentality comes from the very top. So yeah, "progress" and Mickey Mouse cups (hopefully) are what we're signing on with this manager.
Yeah this is the truth. We've had lots of opportunities to win some cups in his time. But he's bottled it big time in those games.
I can’t see anything about us. We’re totally nondescript as a side. I see no footballing ethos or approach. I think that’s my major gripe with the manager is all seems quite timid and passive and hoping our XI proves superior to theirs and I can’t see much else. Rarely does our football not seem laboured and limp.
Brave? He is getting paid 8m a year for this job. He is lucky to have the best job in the world not brave. He would be brave if he resigned like Zidane did, who is an even bigger legend for Real than Ole was for us.
I think Ole can be successful but he seems to lack drive. Young manager, biggest job in the world. We should be seeing his personality on the pitch. Even if it’s shit there should be be a distinctive style about his team but there isn’t not even close. I defy anyone to even try and identify what he’s trying to do in terms of style or identity.
