i hope the interviewer asked him about the zero shots on target.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

He thought we had played well in all but one league games this season. And now he calls this a good performance. An insult to the travelling fans.
We are not a very well coached side... Certainly in an attacking sense anyway, and that's very worrying
I really don't know what he has been watching. I think they must put him in a trance and tell him he is watching prime Barcelona.feck me.
He also said last game that WHU wasn't even that bad as journos making it out to be. Full delusion.
He really is a Moyes 
we are so screwed.
we are so screwed.His transition into Moyes is complete with that
It's shocking. If he wasn't a United legend he'd be absolutely slaughtered by everyone for this. To be fair, he wouldn't have got the job in the first place
Ole is at the wheel , tell me how good does it feel? Feels quite $hit to be honest.
I dont care if we lost that game. How many passes did we connect ? Isn't the same case since Feb ? Look at what Farke or Hassenhuttl is doing with much inferior teams. We are regressing at an alarming rate. The king (Ole) is naked. Sooner we realize it, better we would be.
A process.
A process usually shows some shoots of progress - small things, perhaps. Even tiny hints during 90mins of football, from week to week, that suggest that something somewhere within the team and club is improving. Something is clicking. Something looks to be developing.
Ole's United are regressing. It is undeniable. Every single game is showcasing a worse performance than the game before - the players look a little more clueless; the passing is a little less fluid; the energy levels are a little lower; the small injuries are recurring; the level of composure is slowly looking worse; the number of shots on target is getting lower.
We are witnessing a team slowly but surely regressing into nothingness.
Ole Gunnar Solksjaer seems completely unable to halt this slow but sure regression in any way at all. He just stands on the touchline with a grin and somewhat vacant eyes, as do the rest of his coaching staff.
This club is heading in one direction only as it stands - bottom of the table. Unless by a miracle, Ole is able to stop the fall.
I'm sticking a tenner on it this weekend. I don't actually think it'll happen, but I definitely see us involved in a relegation situation at some point this season. Nobody would have thought "yeah Leicester for the PL" seven games into the season either, would they? They were FAVOURITES to be relegated that year - that in itself is proof that once in a blue moon, something bonkers can happen in the PL.
We have the perfect storm, here - a shit squad made of up slow veterans with little motivation and green kids with no first team experience; a shockingly average coaching team, and what seems to be rock-bottom morale from manager to fans.
You can see why though, mate.
Ole's idea of attacking football is:
"Hit the ball long to a fast player who might do something really fast and it might end up with a really fast goal."
Dan James is really fast.
That appears to be the depth of Ole's strategic abilities so far.

He definitely wouldn't.
Fair points, but you can't mention our pen, when they had a more obvious one, albeit the guy threw himself down
How about one thing? Judging Ole in his ability to get the best out of the squad. Doesnt matter what level you manage, the first assessment should always be on whether you can get the best out of the resources you have. I feel he is really short and our squad is better than what it’s showing.
Not sure theirs was more obvious pal. They were both clear but Rashfords was stonewall!
He's been coaching professionaly for 10 years and this is the kind of football his team plays.. Ole the player I'll love to death but the manager I despise. Our squad this year is shockingly poor but even so 5 wins in the last 22 is unforgivable. The football we are playing is on the verge of vomit inducing. He's been here for almost a year now and we are getting worse as time goes on.
This will for the rest of his career be the only chance he ever gets at a top club and look what he is doing with it. I had his back and he has disappointed me more than any manager post SAF. Our club is a circus from top to bottom but as a manager you have to work with what you have and make the best out of it. We want to see United play football and this is not football. It's a bunch of zombies running around the field incapable of even stringing 5 passes together.

I'm all for giving Ole until this time next year at least but feck me I don't think I can cope watching such utter tripe week in week out . I honestly don't see us beating anyone atm . We have nothing going forward we create very little and we just don't score goals ... It's the hope that kills me
I have nussing to say.
Yeah this is bad. I'll always take throwing shit players under the bus after shit performances over delusion and thinking everybody around you is as fecking deluded.
Jesus...
I still back him but this is delusional stuff from Ole. Like he was watching a different match.
Reminds me of moyes near the end.
Reminds me of moyes near the end.
No way he said that, it would be too much even for Moyes
Here's the interview -I couldn't believe what I was reading.
United's away record since that night in Paris back in March.
Lost 2-0 to Arsenal
Lost 2-1 to Wolves
Lost 2-1 to Wolves
Lost 3-0 to Barcelona
Lost 4-0 to Everton
Drew 1-1 with Huddersfield
Drew 1-1 with Wolves
Drew 1-1 With Southampton
Lost 2-0 to West Ham
Drew 0-0 with Az Alkmaar
Have to go back to 1989 with 11 away games without a win for a worse run and on top of that United currently have the worst start to a league campaign since 1989/90. I'm not one of those Ole outs posters but the longer this goes with and him choosing to play negative Jose like tactics and starting the likes of Mata,Matic the worse things will get not better.

I didn't have the best view, but the commentators on my stream didn't make too much fuss about it.
Sort of looked more like he was going to ground and their guy pulled out to me.
Looks like his plan is to be relentlessly positive, even when faced with circumstances where positivity is unwarranted, inappropriate or borderline pathological.
He presumably thinks that this will keep him in the job longer.
No other explanation for the drivel above.
A goal less draw or defeat this weekend in Newcastle and I think he will be sacked when the get humiliated by the Scousers.
This last few months have seen our play get worse and I just done see anything to suggest we will improve. No matter who plays, they look lost and clueless. I struggled to make out our formation tonight let alone a tactic.
I’m in my mid forties and this was as bad a United performance I can remember. So may poor, poor performances and they don’t even look like a bunch of guys who enjoy playing football - that is a worry.
I was adamant Ole was going to turn our club around. I think the only thing he will achieve is a relegation battle. Anyone who doesn’t think we can be dragged into a fight to avoid the drop is clearly not watching us this season.
Heartbreaking as a United fan.

Can't wait til he's gone.Delusional and out of his depth.
Didn’t get to watch the match, guess it was a tumescent as most recent performances judging by this thread
That’s brutal
I feel bad for him, but I can't see him turning it around.
This.
It is really strange that he cannot appear to get angry in front of the camera. They could have had a penalty as well. We didn't have a shot on target and there's no saying a penalty would have changed that fact.
Ole knows how shit it is but he's putting a brave face on it. He can't read the riot act and is forced to not panic and look even worse to the players. He's desperate to try and keep a lid on the mess.
I'm starting to feel like the players are counting down the days to his sacking unless we can get some life back when injured players return.

You know I had the game on in the background whilst on the phone and working on laptop.
I cannot, genuinely, cannot recall us having a shot.
Did we have a shot?
If Ole thinks that is a good performance, then I am afraid to say, he is clearly making the team in his management image... lacking dynamics, no real strategy or plan at all.
I watch us, and it is like watching kids football. Scrappy, and not really making sense. But you expect that from kids football.

0 shots on target all match, dominated by Alkmaar yet he's happy?
He has no shame does he? Ignorance is bliss. Living the dream as Man Utd manager whilst he drags us down to hell.
I will be so glad when he's gone, I predict he doesn't even make the end of the month.
This has to end soon.
I'm sorry but those post match comments were nothing short of embarrassing. If a Pool manager had said something similar after delivering a performance like that we would have laughed our asses off for weeks. Utter delusion.
why the feck did the stupid CEO give him a permanent contract? have some self respect and resign Ole boring Solskjaer.
We reach a new low every week. Surprised so many thought the relegation battle thread was a joke or a WUM, we are in serious trouble, way more than ever before. Our manager is deluded beyond belief, same as some of our fanbase and club. Someone needs to wake up quickly.
