I agree. We look like collapsing, if I’m honest. Still too many largely useless players in the first team.I think too many are taking their eye off those behind us. Top 4 is under real threat. Forget the title talk.

Again, that's your opinion. I'm sure there are 20 other people who'd disagree with you that Ole is making "progress". So why then should anyone value your opinion more than the opinion of others with equal conviction? So far, our criteria for managers is get us CL, you stay in the job, drop out and you're off. I think we've reached a point with the squad where that's no longer enough (partly thanks to Ole's efforts).Good job that's not how the progress of Sir Matt Busby and Sir Alex Ferguson were being measured. Otherwise this club's trophy cabinet be pretty fecking empty.
Intelligent football fans see more than just the points for the current season. Most of the progress Ole is making has feck all to do with this season, in much the same way Sir Matt wasn't thinking about 1949 in 1949, but moreso 1952, and Sir Alex didn't give a feck about points tallies in 1989 because he had his eye on 1992.
Jesus I didn't know that! Would settle for 4th place right now tbh!We’ll be out of the top 4 within 2 weeks. Chelsea and City away coming up we’ll be lucky to get a point.
From being in a really good spot 2 weeks ago to going into complete meltdown. Ole will be out if he fails to get top 4.
Imagine losing 5 points against the two teams at the bottom of the league and having the nerve to talk about title race anyway.
Agree, were still a few players off to keep the continuity, consistent play up, you could see today putting pressure on then getting hit on the break, or poor or missed pass breaking on us, when or if they decide to get players who can deal with this and keep the pressure on teams like W Brom, your only going to get more results like this.It was never on. The consistent lack of quality of our football was never gonna allow us a serious race

If for example we don't finish within touching distance of City, that means 1-2 signings in the summer won't get us the title, you can maybe close down a 6-8 pt gap, but not more than that.
Ederson = 27I don't think you're getting this if you think we might sign one or two in the summer and challenge for the title...
Instead of thinking 'I want to win the league immediately,' think this; 'when Guardiola goes, which club is gonna be in the best position to dominate?'
So your saying we got to hope Guardiola doesnt stop for another 4-5 seasons then we got to hope every other team hasnt improved so we might have a chance? What about if Pep leaves and they bring in another top manager as well?I don't think you're getting this if you think we might sign one or two in the summer and challenge for the title...

This has been an enjoyable season nevertheless for me. Didn't expect a race, the few days at the top were great and reminiscent of the good old SAF days.Agree, were still a few players off to keep the continuity, consistent play up, you could see today putting pressure on then getting hit on the break, or poor or missed pass breaking on us, when or if they decide to get players who can deal with this and keep the pressure on teams like W Brom, your only going to get more results like this.
I'd rather we didn't have any of this "false hope" crap being first....when we are so blatantly not within touching distance off City.This has been an enjoyable season nevertheless for me. Didn't expect a race, the few days at the top were great and reminiscent of the good old SAF days.
and rightly so.We’ll be out of the top 4 within 2 weeks. Chelsea and City away coming up we’ll be lucky to get a point.

Okay then what's your goal for the squad? Ole would have had 2.5 by end of this season, if next season is a write off according to you, then that's 3.5 years with nothing. I don't think that's acceptable, but if you think that's building "long term" then I don't have much to say. I think you're the one that's blind.I don't think you're getting this if you think we might sign one or two in the summer and challenge for the title...
