I know the feeling. I thought LvG was going to do well here and when he failed I was full sure Mourinho would bring back the glory days.
Who picked it and who keeps picking this bloody number 10 formation. We don’t have a number 10!!!! It’s just beyond stupid.
do you know the way everyone says Gomes mustn’t be showing Ole enough in training to get into the team? Is lingard running around at training absolutely bossing it and then just hiding in matches? I seriously doubt it. On those grounds alone oles job should be under scrutiny. He keeps making selection and tactical errors and it looks like we are not being coached well apart from on the counter. His signings have been ok. Not cheap but doing ok. I’m happy to give any signing a season to settle in. Look at Fred. Gomes should have been getting minutes when we were struggling to break teams down from the start of the season. He can do the unexpected at least. We’ve seen mata Jones lingard and now I’m going to add shaw to that list too for years and their best isn’t good enough to win anything. Ole isnt getting the best out of the players he has but the squad is still a total mess.
I don't disagree with what you say except who was it that showed Lukaku the door? If the squad wasn't good enough or there wasn't enough being spent why didn't ole tell the board to pay Herrera what he wanted to keep him here? Why send smalling on loan and keep Jones?
I'm not fussed about players that were gutted. More pissed about the replacements we never brought in. Think that midfield is direct result of that mistake. Matic would have been better to start but I don't think that would have changed the result honestly .
It really bugs me when I hear, well we've tried 3 other managers and it didn't work so we should just stick with Ole. The answer isn't complicated. As you say the only thing we haven't tried is a modern progressive manager. Times have changed. We haven't. Surely it shouldn't be that hard for the club to understand?
People were on here defending Moyes and Mourinho at the end, no point in getting angry.
That's how everyone should feel. I thought we could upgrade on Lukaku, Fellaini et el.
Why do people think it take years to implement a style of football? even fecking Brendan Rodgers implement his style after few months. Not talking about the elite managers like Klopp or Pep.
Honestly, I have no answer it. It's not really logical, but their love of Ole as a player has blinded some fans. This is as good as it will get under Ole and his coaching team, even if the fans don't realise the board should by now.
What were the matchgoing reds like?
Because obviously why would you keep 3 players who dont wanna be here and 2 of them (sanchez and lukaku) truly did jack all at the club, and the other left at the end of the contract, where Herrera even said they left his contract far too late, starting before Ole came in, so nout to do with him.

A good chunk of OT, mainly where I was sat, in the corner of the south stand next to the tunnel, with the corner of the Stretford End to my left, the majority booed them off the pitch at half time. An incredible amount of discontent and murmurings throughout the game.
No wonder the players love him
it’s maddening. you still see dickhead posts like “he might not be the answer but it’s not all his fault. changing managers now wouldn’t change a thing”
The latitude this guy gets
Lukaku was top scorer and helped us to second, even when alienated by Ole he still gave us all that PSG night!
I reckon the mood in the camp is like when the teacher is out the classroom for 5 minutes.
Where they playing against Premier League Champions City? Or Arsenals second string team?
What are the options? There maybe many better than ole but sacking him now wont change the state or quality of the squad for the new manager. Just can't see it. We have to be realistic. I'll be surprised if we purchase any big player this month. We need to bring in some real quality and experience in the summer both manager and player wise. I don't think our best first 11 or 12 are that bad on paper. The problem is the depth and not replacing the likes of hererra and lukaku. Our injury record over the past 6-7 seasons is abysmal. The best teams hardly get injuries. We have players made from paper. Btw I'm ole out.
Probably wouldn't change a lot to be fair. Nobody's getting this current squad to do much better than 5th without making signings.it’s maddening. you still see dickhead posts like “he might not be the answer but it’s not all his fault. changing managers now wouldn’t change a thing”
Spot on absolutely mind boggling reallyit’s maddening. you still see dickhead posts like “he might not be the answer but it’s not all his fault. changing managers now wouldn’t change a thing”
Exactly. Jose spent vast amounts and we werent even 5th in his.last season when he went.
Getting rid of an incompetent manager would go a long way in regards to sorting what’s happening on the pitch. Yes, it’s not all his fault, yes we don’t have a swashbuckling football type of squad but our manager is one of the worst in the league and people thinking that getting rid of him wouldn’t change a thing/much is ridiculous
pretty much this.
I get that he is a nice guy etc but feck me this is so annoying.
