We were actually pathetic in the last 60 minutes against City where we continually conceded attacks and attacks. Today, it's back to the normal problem of being useless going forward. Will never be good enough.
It’s not just going forward though. We play too deep. Two ball playing defenders and we sit on our box with a GK who gets a nose bleed out of his 6 yard box.

Not a bad performance tbf. Think we did far more than needed to win this. Poor result though.

Such an obvious result. Typical United under this clueless management team.

Chelsea lose to West Ham, we drop points at home to Villa. Chelsea lose to Bournemoth, we drop points at home to Everton. So frustrating, still no improvements on how to break teams down. Can't be relying on penalties every week to get us 3 points.

Same shit against bad opposition. :lol:

Imagine continuing starting Lingard against this type of team.

The worst fans are the one who flip flop game to game. Ole is obviously not good enough, something a lot of us knew despite our latest false dawn, and still got pelters.

6 points vs City and Spurs
3 points vs Sheffield United, Aston Villa and Everton.

Story of our season, very inconsistent and looking clueless vs defensive teams.

Didn't think we were even that bad, Everton barely looked like scoring we just gave away a cheap goal, which I thought was a foul on De Gea anyway. We'll start beating bottom feeder clubs like Everton consistently once we get a good number 10/Pogba in the starting 11.

Seems to have been our story since SAF left. Every time we seem to be on the up - we drop pts every time one or more of our rivals do. We wouldnt even be worried about making it in the top 4 if we stopped doing that. Frustrating beyond belief.

Can't blame him for today. It is not his fault that Everton refused to play with high defence which would allow us to play on counter attacks.
They gave us the ball. Bastards

Annoying how inconsistent we are. We don't have a single player that can bully a defence and get a goal when they sit deep. We didn't even play that bad today, we just run out of idea's on the edge of the box due to lack of space.

Enjoyed our performance. Am seeing many 'patterns of play' and also very encouraging that players are giving their all. The squad lacks the requisite quality in certain positions, and thats what leads to ineffectiveness and period of play where we fail to convert our possession into decent chances.

In many ways, I think our squad is similar to lifting weights. Our 1 rep max is good enough to beat the very best, but our 5Rep max requires a lot more work. And that will come with incoming quality signings, time together and experiences gained.

Think we missed Pogba today. No creativity, no ideas, we don’t create anywhere near enough clear cut chances.

We are the hardest team to play for the top 6 and the most comfortable/predictable to play against for the rest of the league

Good game by Solskjaer and Company despite FM-youngsters in here. We should have won and Solskjaer made changes when needed. VAR was not on our side this time but that happens.

Still great form, contact with 4th place and chasing every cup we are in.

Lack of quality and composure around the box let us down as usual. Still deserved the win. It's going to be like this all season until we add some players unfortunately.

Another fecking false dawn!

Ole record as man utd manager is just not good enough. After Spurs and City game many were willing to adopt wait and see attitude but now clearly shows that nothing has change

Saw this one coming from a mile away. The next draw/defeat to a defending midtable team will always be around the corner till we add more to our play

They're an awful team, Everton. It's beyond pathetic how shit we are against relegation fodder.
They have the new manager syndrome tbf.

I'm firmly Ole out and I'm sure he'll inevitably be sacked but today wasn't a poor performance imo, even though the result is bad.

We neeed a manager that can coach attacking football against defensive sides. Not just playing on the counter and exploiting naive sides.

Ole is sadly not good enough. Our squad is also not that great, but that is not fully on him.

Yeh not the managers fault to set up a team and coach them on how to break down stubborn defences.

And whose fault is that?

Ole's tactics were fine, we were unlucky not to gain the three points. We created a multitude of good chances in that game and several half-chances. We also dominated the midfield and possession, too.

You could also argue that Ole earned us a point through his in-game management. Switching to a 4-2-4 changed the game.

It is disappointing not winning but 4th points out of 4th place is reachable. Lingard shouldn’t even start

Not in the slightest, it’s just tiresome trying to interact with someone who converses like a toddler.
And I always have to remember to tread around eggshells with you because you have form of bullying and doxing. Would you like me to post some examples so others can see?

Are we done?
