Yeah, because saying he needs to drop the 1999 talk is me "slamming him" ffsThere's light and day between crowing "20 times" and slamming Ole for bringing up some good memories ahead of the biggest game we've played in years and acting like Pool are already champions
He also managed basically the same team less than a year ago. People talk like someone like him would have turned our squad of misfits into world beaters, all we had to do was 'wait until the end of the season' and not give Ole the job.
Yup
Unfair. Wallace was great at Southampton and his poor form at United was not helped by developing multiple sclerosis.
Zidane worked with that squad for 3 years, there's no difference bar Ronaldo, its his team! Ole's situation is more difficult! Having to take over from Jose with worse players than Madrid & still get amazing results! With no signings and an unprecedented injury crisis! Madrid are facing reality without Ronaldo, and Zidane is in for one hell of a ride you can guarantee that!
You do realise Ole isn't talking about 1999 by choice don't you? He gets asked about it constantly, just like the questions about Fergie. It's 20 years since he scored the winning goal in the CL at the very ground we're about to play in ffs and we have to overturn a one goal deficit. It would be bizarre if he wasn't asked about it.
Of course he is. It's one of the most iconic moments in football and it's the 20th anniversary this year plus he's asked about it in every single interview so what's he supposed to do?
Where's the new manager bounce?
Didn't know that about the MS
He won't park in the manager's space because he says it still belongs to Fergie...
He won two league titles at Molde and you don't think people would find that impressive? And he's not 'harking back to the past' he's asked by journalists and reporters in every interview about his past at United and politely answers these questions because why the feck wouldn't he? He's part of Manchester United history.
This pretty much, the 2nd line is especially true.
Spot on.
Not read the thread but, who has turned on him?
No I don’t. It’s a league people know nothing about as it doesn’t feature on the back pages of the red tops. Unfair and ignorant, but that’s the way it is.
Regarding just the Barca presser, I agree. He dealt with the questions politely but succinctly, and was more interested in talking about his recent visits to the Nou Camp. Maybe he’s making a conscious effort to move on; if so, that’s encouraging.
In this match its Young, Rojo who is worse or a 19 year old who is much better going forward in his wrong position.
Agree.
It's hardly only this match, Young is pretty much the first player on the teamsheet. It's on the manager.
Yes. Completely agree.
Everton away, City and Chelsea up next...
Yes his current streak is a perfect 5 out 7.
So who would you have start at left back ?
Recall Tuanzebe.
Well, it was Ole as well
Almost certain. It'll be impossible to sack him, the board will be terrified of the backlash. Look how long it took to sack Mourinho?
