Athletics World Championships and EuroLeague basketball was very interesting.
As someone said it was in the CL more often than not against far better teams than this. We are becoming irrelevant.Even last years under SAF was even boring football, especially away euro games.
Why doesn’t Greenwood’s shot count as on target? It looks like it’s fully on target but for the defenders block?Not one shot on target...........
I watch alot of AZ games. They're a highly organised team. Every club with exception of the top teams in Europe would have a difficult game. But what I saw from United this evening was terrible.90 minutes I'll never get back. Probably not the worst point in the world really but 0 shots on target says it all.
Do you have any valuable things or money that I can have before you do?I'm gonna go jump out the window now. Cheers Ole.
The problem is these performances aren’t exclusive to away euro games. This has become the norm for us.Even last years under SAF was even boring football, especially away euro games.
Squad is so weak that the average players are being ran into the ground. They should be our squad players. But they are first teamers and the kids are our squad!What's with Lingard, Rashford, Martial, Shaw etc and muscle injuries? How are they training, what are they eating? This is ridiculous.
Very good question.Are they being coached at all in training? There seems to be no evidence of any moves or plays in our build up.
Get a grip , You can’t judge 2 kids on tonight , you’ve experienced donkeys out there like Matic and Fred embarrassing themselves.Clean sheet!
Joking aside I hope this stops people from saying why we don't start Greenwood or play Gomes. Woefully shite the pair of them.
Europa league group is muck , Newcastle away with 50000 Geordies roaring after been hammered 5-0 last weekend takes priority.I'm a bit disappointed that we don't prioritize the Europa League. He put the reserves out there - and I knew the moment I saw the lineup it would be a boring game. Didn't disappoint either - fell asleep before half-time and just woke up.
Moyes had a good team. United has max 3 good players now.Worse than Moyes.
You can laugh all you want at that infamous game where Moyesy instructed us to cross the ball about 80 times, but we were at least attacking and attempting SOMETHING in that game. Watching Ole's United is like watching that United without the crosses. There is NOTHING to see at all.
You do not need top-class players to get shots on target, I'm fekcing sorry, you do not - if you did, teams like fecking Newcastle would never have a shot on target in any of their games. This lies squarely with the manager and coaching staff - worse clubs with worse players have shots on target during 90mins of football.
To go to Alkmaar, maybe the 3-4th best team in the mediocre Dutch league and be completely schooled in terms of attacking football (and may I add, an Alkmaar team featuring a fair few youngsters so we can forget that excuse as well) while not even having a shot on target is unacceptable, sorry. Completely unacceptable.
He's got to go. I'm done, he's got to go.
Yes, with 100x better players than this aswell. Fans need to stop overrate all our players. De Gea is our only WC player.As someone said it was in the CL more often than not against far better teams than this. We are becoming irrelevant.
Even that abysmal record flatters us somewhat. For the last 16 official games we've only managed to score more than once in the freak Chelsea game; In the remaining 15 games we've scored 9 goals. The game before that streak we needed two penalties to score twice against West Ham...19 goals in 20 games.
We are a fecking joke.
Journey, process, Ole, transition, blah blah fecking blah.
Yeah, definitely soberingThat's the point isn't it. We were a great club, with great players. Now we aren't.
Well let's hope it pays off. I agree that the league takes priority - but that was just impossible to watch. Also sad - I do believe we need no more than two-three signings to have a first eleven capable of top-four - but it's obvious we are miles away from having a squad capable of challenging. With the exception of our defense I didn't see a single player out there who belongs in a club of our caliber - and I have no clue why they played James like they did. Putting our only creative force up front where nothing gets created I mean that's just a blooper right there.Europa league group is muck , Newcastle away with 50000 Geordies roaring after been hammered 5-0 last weekend takes priority.
I can see why you say this, & in previous years that may have made sense. The trouble is we are no so poor & in freefall, that if we did concentrate on the Europa League, we could be fighting relegation, which is incredible to believe.I'm a bit disappointed that we don't prioritize the Europa League.

True to an extent and I complained a lot back then as I felt we weren't doing enough to stay in the absolute elite of European football. But still. In 2012/13 we scored 86 goals in the league. 86! We haven't scored more than 68 in a single league campaign since then. The famous "zombie football" thread still could not have foreseen the depths we were about to sink to.Even last years under SAF was even boring football, especially away euro games.
The Bigger picture is Samuel is that you didnt watch the game because they also had half a team out. We had no shot on target, the team have no leadership, no tactics , no game plan.Tweet

When has a blocked shot by a defender ever been on target ?Why doesn’t Greenwood’s shot count as on target? It looks like it’s fully on target but for the defenders block?
That is being kind.The Bigger picture is Samuel is that you didnt watch the game because they also had half a team out. We had no shot on target, the team have no leadership, no tactics , no game plan.
The older experienced players (Matic , Fred ) are bog standard lower PL players who we fecked 90 mill on.
The club is a mess at the moment.
Really? I really would like to know what players are better than mid club or championship level.Well let's hope it pays off. I agree that the league takes priority - but that was just impossible to watch. Also sad - I do believe we need no more than two-three signings to have a first eleven capable of top-four - but it's obvious we are miles away from having a squad capable of challenging.

Yes it was a penalty but Fred also should have had a penalty given against him.
shocking comments imo. When is he gonna come out and call things as it is? The entire gameplay was sh1t!
Why isn't it though, if a defender blocks it on the line is it not on target? If you shoot from the halfway line and it rolls toward the keeper is it on target?When has a blocked shot by a defender ever been on target ?
