Looking forward to seeing how this is spun by the resident delusionals.

"He has to play Lingard and Pereira because there's no depth, it's not his fault"
"We don't have a top class attacking midfielder, it's not his fault"
"We don't have two strikers fit and on the pitch, it's not his fault"

.... Well all those boxes are now ticked and we're still absolute garbage. Can't attack, can't beat a press, can't keep the ball, can't stop their attacks, relying on last ditch tackles and luck to stay 0-0. At Old Trafford against one of the worst sides in the league.


This is what you endorse if you think Ole should be managing us next season. A man who can't manage and a manager who can't coach. If Watford were looking for a new manager they wouldn't touch Ole with a barge pole. He wouldn't even be considered.

We deserve this. Our fanbase continue to back him and cheer his name. Praising piss poor performances week in, week out.
Do they really? I was under the impression the Ole chants had stopped. If the matchgoing fans are truly happy with him then yes, we deserve every bit of it.

Had enough. Turned it off. This team is killing my love for the game. Such a spineless team with the worst manager the EFL has ever seen.

You picked the worst time to turn it off, we just scored. :lol:

From the spot though.

Don't worry we scored a penalty, the Ole in's will be in any moment to claim how amazing he is and how we just can't see the plan now

We've had trouble against a sitting defence for a long time, buying a playmaker like Bruno won't change that either, we are too static upfront.
It’s a tactical problem. Look at this game now. Watford are playing exactly like us.. deep line defence only difference is they are exploiting the press and are quick ok the attack. We have two CM’s who don’t cross the halfway.

Thank goodness for Bruno.

Even if Ole gets the time and resources to amass a squad of world class players, it’s quite obvious that he’s not the guy to get the best out of them.

Why are we settling like that?

He is lucky that smaller teams still take a bait and attack us in our home games. All they need is to sit deep and wait

Any chance this thread could be moved to the player performances forum so it’s locked in game? The quality of posting in here when a match is on is absolutely diabolical.

EDIT - @Bilbo on the same page.

It’s games like this, against lesser opposition, where he proves he’s not a top level/elite manager.

We come out and start games slowly, no intensity, no urgency and he relies on player talent to get us over the line in games.

And then you and the rest of the in crowd will be saying "why are you complaining about Ole after a win?".

So predictable.

Shows how far we’ve fallen when second bottom of the league come to OT and attack. Thing is our team actually makes Watford look like A decent team when they really aren’t.

Glenn Roader.
Tim Sherwood.
Alan Pardew.
Phil Brown.

Loads of shit managers. I think Ole is a shite manager but he’s not the worst.

Can we then also give the manager a performance rating after each game?

The players can’t be arsed today. Fred, in particular, is playing as if the game is beneath him.

Ole is responsible for that. But the dissection of tactics on the basis of that 45 is downright bizarre. There isn’t much the coaching staff can do when the players are hanging on to the ball in spite of knowing that Watford are pressing like dogs. It’s stupidity and all of Lindelof, Maguire, Fred and Matic have been guilty of this.

ineffective coaching - I'm sick to the back teeth of teams like Watford being better organised and better on the ball

lets hope we manage to keep a clean sheet

Nobody is drawing these conclusions from 45 minutes of football. We've seen the same poor coaching/lack of coaching throughout Ole's tenure.

Fred has the most passes, the most key passes, most tackles and the most interceptions.

Did you put the right stream on?

The quality of football is roughly in line with the players we’ve had at our disposal throughout the season: an inconsistent mix.

It should improve with the addition of quality players such as Bruno and (you’d hope) another winger and striker. If we buy these players and fail to improve then I’ll call a spade a spade.

£140m spent on defenders for Ole.

Magnificant world class coaching.

I swear VAR now exists solely to keep Ole in a job.

Can't believe this guy's luck. Bailed out by Bruno, Martial, Greenwood and VAR this time.

25 minutes and its the same old, same old. Simply can't create anything.

We are dreadful
Not even. We don't look coached, at all.

Just... why do it to yourselves?

watch a game! Enjoy it.
