Ole using the same players during this terrible run

This is the one thing that has infuriated me the most. On this current poor run the team has not changed at all. No change in personal or formation. If we are leaking goals why hasn’t he reverted back to 3-5-2 like last season? The only noticeable differences is Pogba being switched for McTominay. Since Rashford has come back back, Sancho has been also dropped.

Maguire has costs us at least 7 goals in the last 3 games. Why is he undroppable with form like that? He should never have played against Leicester anyway because he was injured.

Isn’t the definition of insanity doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results?

Isn't it Einstein's quote? It's not the definition of insanity, but it's certainly a description of stubborn ignorance.

I think it's less about the players he picks and more about the total lack of a plan and proper coaching.

He knows the game is up so may as well get sacked quicker rather than later.

It's a real mystery. His game plan, tactical setup and coaching isn't up to standards so you'd think he'd change how we approach games by using different players and vary things up that way.

It's like he wants the players to play their way out of poor form. Coaching through vibes as per usual.

Its not the players now, its the total lack of organisation. The 14/15 players Ole uses regularly are out best 14/15 players, he's just not getting anything out of them

His "things must change" moment was subbing Pogba for Mctominay in the starting lineup. Probably because Pogba hadn't committed to an extension. But as soon as we're down we see Pogba warming up. So the first guy you bring on is the big change you were gonna make.

Being so inflexible and cautious is one reason why things are not going his way.

Nothing ever changes. Plays the same team every time if they aren’t injured enough to not walk, plays the same formation, same everything.

He has his favourites, it won't change. He will pick Maguire and McFred again like nothing has happened.

:lol:

Now that you've mentioned that. It shows you how clueless he is.
