Great example. Firstly, tell me how LVGs tenure at the club turned out. Secondly, tell me how many of those players actually made it. Thirdly, there are 2 u20s in the starting line up, not four. So why is this something to hold up again?
Why does that matter?
Now Moyes can have real reason to feel that he was hard done. He succeeded SAF, when people ain’t used to us struggling mid table so he ain’t afforded another year, even though he actually has better CV than Ole, and being the Chosen One.
Moyes took a championship winning side into midtable and lost the dressing room. Ole will get time because he still has the backing of the players, as hard as it is for some to accept.
The players cant motivate themselves to perform against non top sides, that would help Ole a lot.
We lack real leadership in this squad, a Roy Keane, and its made worse after the departures of winners like Rio. That's why I doubt the likes of Rodgers could do as well as he's doing now with Leicester, it's not just about quality or Vardy vs Rashford, it's about that mentality and grit when things aren't going well. I'm not excusing the manager of course, but problems run deeper than just tactics and motivation.
But we took Leicester's biggest leader on the pitch. They replaced him with a total newbie to the Prem and paired him with Evans, famous himself for his lack of leadership. The likes of Ndidi, Tielemans, Maddison... not much leadership quality there at all.
Getting titles should motivate our squad that has barely won anything. For Pogba he might want to aim higher though than what we are fighting for, but he should be motivated to get into form for the Euros.
Why does it matter? My point is it isn't realistic to expect him to throw players in there. You have, and none of them are examples of what I asked for.
This. What's the point of having the players' backing if the results are worse than those of the previous manager who DIDN'T have the players' backing?
Top post, good man.
Nothing about this confirms he'll be the manager next season. You can't ensure those things. He might even be sacked before the season ends.
Don't bite, the guys a troll. He loves to spin everything into a positive and how Ole is going a great job.
Careful, your mask is slipping.
Because the outrage merchants on here will take any opportunity to bash Ole.
You sure? If he'd not been assured that his job was safe why come out and say anything.
What mask? I’ve always said his incompetent and would go down as the worse manager in our history. Him being an ex player doesn’t blind me to the fact that he’s a very poor manager. Now I’m disgusted by the fact that in December he’s already written the season off.... the same man who when he was interim was saying “The Champions League is where Man Utd belong”
Oh joy another numpty, and on Christmas day as well
I can't even be bothered. I'd rather set myself on fire, in fact.
Your apathy to the decay of the club under Ole leads me to believe that you are a “can’t be bothered, rather set yourself on fire” type
It's apathy in the face of relentless outrage and negativity. I have little issue with criticism of his managerial ability, but I can't fecking stand the never-ending parade of outrage merchants taking his words out of context and interpret it in the worst way possible, then have a go at him for it. Nothing he said suggests he's given up on the season. What the feck is he supposed to have given up on? He'll want to win as many games as possible, but it's clear that this is a squad in transition, and players will be sold. Our main objective is getting back in position to challenge for the league and CL titles, and that was never going to happen this season, so it's only natural that it will, in part, be used to find out which players have a future here.
“That was never going to happen this season”
What did he say?
Not that I needed proof, but it's clear as day that you're just looking for things to be outraged at Ole about. Have fun with that, try not to stroke out.
I mean, the quotes are right there in the article in the OP, and he sure as shit didn't suggest we've given up the season. Unless you're actively looking for things to get angry at him about, in which case saying "we'll use this season to evaluate the players" means that. Because a season can only be used for one thing. You can't evaluate the players and try to do well in the competitions you're in. Apparently.
There is something you don’t need to tell the press, especially that was your your last excuse of a terrible end of last season.
