Here are some damning statistics posted by Skysports.

These are horrifying numbers (especially 4 touches in the opposition box) that proves beyond doubt that the team has no fight in them and have stopped believing in themselves and Ole’s vision. They are just going through the motions, that too on a derby game.

There should be no coming back from this. Ole is a dead man walking.

  • United have lost eight home matches in all competitions in 2021, their most in a calendar year since losing eight in 1989.
  • United have conceded 11 home Premier League goals in six matches at Old Trafford this season, their most in their first six home league matches of a season since 1976-77 (also 11).
  • United had four touches in the opposition box in this match, their fewest in a Premier League match since the 2008-09 season (when Opta began recording the data). It was the fewest by a home team in a Premier League game since Fulham against Arsenal in September 2020 (three).
