Why don't you just stick back to climbing into Ole's arse since you enjoy being there. He has achieved feck all and he is not someone who should blubber about teams and personalities. His team is 37 points behind the leader. There are plenty of arseholes into plenty of great teams, good managers know how to deal with them.
- Ole Gunnar Solskjær has won 6 Premier League titles, 1 Champions League title, 2 Intercontinental cup titles, 2 FA cup trophies and 4 English Super Cup titles. I know you're refering to his coaching career, but I'll just gladly remind you that this isn't some novice who's not used to being in a winning environment. He thrived in one for a solid decade. His banner hangs on Old Trafford. He understands extremely well what it takes to win from a players perspective. We can safely assume that he's trying to ingrain that into the squad. SURELY that is what we want, right?
For all we know he is lucky the league was paused, he might have been out of the door by now.
- I'm going to make a bold statement: You're making things up. Here's our stats the last 11 games before the season paused: 11 Games played 29 goals scored
2 goals allowed -
9 clean sheets | 8 Win 3 Draw in that time period. NINE clean sheets in 11 games. We've beat Manchester City twice and Chelsea once to name a few games. Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba was slotted for returns, further strenghtening the squad.
Both Chelsea and Leicester have a harder fixture list than we do to finish the season. Our current pace of games, combined with Chelsea and Leicesters form, have us not finishing 4th, but third. 8 points behind a Leicester team in the middle of a hard slide is not unsurmountable. Leicester have won 4 out of their last 13 Premier Leauge games. They are massively out of form.
There are plenty of arseholes in many successful teams. Plenty of world class players were absolute arseholes, the best managers know how to manage them.
Sure there are many arseholes in football teams. For example you have Sergio Ramos who is a bit of a d*ck, but who at the same time will absolutely die on the pitch for Real Madrid if he needs to. Then you have Mario Balotelli who gets shipped around because he's just a disturbance. You want warriors with attitudes, not troublemakers. I'm sure you get the difference.
Zero chance, don't be so sure about that. We went into the season pause on the back of couple of solid results, but we are far from being where we need to be.
I'll help your honesty: We went into the pause as the most in form team in Europe with the stingiest defense in Europe, with a foot and half into the next stage of the Europa league, with a CL spot very much in reach, after a string of
very good results, including giving Pep Guardiola his first ever double loss to a team in any season in his career. But don't let some negativity get in the way of excellent pessimism
Now he has no "assholes" in the team and is still 5th, for all we know those last few results were another false dawn and we are back to being shit and beaten by the likes of Crystal Palace.
Sure, no one can predict the future. Just as you are allowed to see things from a broader perspective than "Ole Bad".
