Still... a 30 minute preparations by a GCE level student could come up with better word salad. But nope. That's too much to ask.
Manager's Press Conference | Watford v Manchester United | Ole Gunnar Solskjaer | Premier League
- Thread starter #07
- Start date
That I did talk about, in my original post. I'm not being funny but do you have any idea what you're responding to right now? Like, everything I've said was said in my initial comment.
People are angry but are directing it at the wrong person. If i let my 14 year old park the car and he scratches it, who's fault is it? People should turn their anger towards the Glazers for letting him keep the job when he clearly isn't up for it.
I'm replying to this. That it's unacceptable for united level club not prepping their manager to come up with better words. We prepped better for office dinner talks than the manager of the worlds biggest football club.
Can your car resign?
Good or the sensitive kid would have got hurt.
He spent several games running around like a headless chicken when some policemen scared him in Greece. If Ole takes away the captaincy, don't know what would happen to him.
Maybe he is reading from a script? Given by the club? It's obvious that he is not going push Maguire under the bus but he has pushed some players without mentioning names.
The press should have asked who are those players feigning injury.

We should be OK....Ole says we've worked on a few things in training so that's good enough for me. Granted he didn't go into any detail or elaborate on what those few things were but I trust him. Any manager that consistently picks a midfield 2 of Fred and Mctomminy definitely knows his onions.
Wow your expectations are a bit low if that's all it takes for you to think it's good enough
What’s Klopp as an ice cream? Pep has to be Peppermint (with chocolate flakes)
It's a fact that the "press" have lost the art of pressing.
Manchester United are no different in that respect

You just know Watford are going to score in the first 10 minutes.
Real, Chelsea, Barca, Bayern, Juve are certainly way less forgiving.
Ole is a failed manager who is still going strong after multiple trophy-less seasons and poor runs. If anything, the question should be: is there a more forgiving job in the whole of football?
Hes obviously coached. Notice the sound bites are all the same. Hes also not struggling so much when talking, or thinking what to say as he used to. Another sign of coaching.
Yup our Harry is not one to hide on a treatment table. Instead he would rather play half fit and be at fault for goals conceding against Leicester. Excellent management Ole, not only to pick him when not fit, but then to admit a month later that he wont hide on the treatment table. Our manager lads.
I absolutely despair at Ole's ye olde medieval talk hinting at players playing through pain etc. No wonder our squad is injury prone.
He really does Luke the blood and thunder talk.
Lost all respect and credibility as a manager. Can't put an ounce of trust in anything he says. Sadly just a puppet of the board.
You guys will smash Watford tomorrow and the yo-yoing about Ole on here will start all over again. His defense of Harry is admirable. Thought he came out swinging. Next few games will be easy so he will get a reprieve. He ain't going nowhere. His best press conference in ages.
It was sarcasm fella.....I think he's well out of his depth now
He's clearly backing his captain publicly. Nothing else
Klopp would be something mental like mango & pashunfruit gegensmashing your palate to smithereens.
Is Ole seriously taking a pop at so called experts? Ffs as manager he won as many major trophies as they did
For all his faults, he's not Mourinho. He's not going to chuck players under the bus in press conferences. He's always taken the road of defending players that are under contract with us, even when in the process of trying to move them on as with the "Sanchez is going to come back and prove you all wrong" stuff.
There's plenty to attack in Ole's tactics/selections/coaching etc, but I don't really get going after him for what he says or doesn't say in pressers where he inevitably just turns up and tries to make the right noises, because that's about all you can do.
Interesting that no-one is more interested in the quote about Maguire not faking injury to get out of games, that's quite a statement to make - especially in light of Pogba just having had yet another injury.
His obsession with Maguire, Jones and Lingard need to stop. Sometimes you feel like Ole sees them as mates, he's overly protective of them.

Talked about the importance of this international break
another liar
All the players in vacation for more than 1 week
no trainings, no tactical workout
a disgrace, and you can see this reflected during the games

Defends his captain and somehow it's a bad thing. This place.
I tend to agree with him regarding Maguire, gets treated like a dog by many fans, well here anyway. He’s a good player and will have a good career.
It would be the worst thing he could do as a manager to strip him of the armband at this point.
Interesting regarding the ‘hiding on the treatment table’ line, in my eyes that’s Bailly and Jones.
You could see this as positive or negative. Mourinho actually, kindly, got himself sacked quite quickly by doing this. It was a considerate move from Mourinho. Solskjaer is just prolonging the inevitable, like a horse with no legs trying to drag itself across the line.
The only interesting bit about that is he's happy playing them even if they're not fully fit.

Imagine him saying it with that grin.
Yes frankly
Has he been burning the midnight oil devouring all the games tactics and coaching while on holiday?
