It's painful to watch Young on the wings. He offered nothing in attack and defense as well.
People were moaning before Jose was employed because of his defensive style.I don’t think people were moaning b/c Jose was defensive. People were moaning also b/c he was an utter ass and burned all bridges with management and players so he was toxic. So I don’t get what the point of your post is and the smugness behind it. Unless you are one of those Jose worshippers no matter what the problem was.
Yea once, Southampton at home in March..Genuine question, has Solskjaer ever come back from going behind in a match?
I doubt the tactics were to sit back and defend a 1-0 loss. These players are morons. Are they completely empty shells of human-like shapes that can’t do anything right without a manager pulling the strings? Can they not shoot unless Ole directs every facet of a shot? We’re in more trouble than I thought.isn't that down to the manager and tactics?
I personally thought that at least today the desire what there, but the talent is solely lacking.
Worst start for man utd in 33 years. Ole breaking more records.
Mate, I readily admit I was one of those who cheered Jose when he came and jeered for his departure at the end because he was just toxic. That said, I don’t disagree with you about the performance of Ole but aside from him, I honestly believe that these players are just about where they are performance wise because that’s that level of quality.People were moaning before Jose was employed because of his defensive style.
Isn't it better to appoint a better coach and manager, rather to succumb to your suggestion of play counter attacking against the likes of Bournemouth and Norwich?
Weird narrative. What he offered wasn't great, but he offered a million times more than AWB did in an attacking sense.It's painful to watch Young on the wings. He offered nothing in attack and defense as well.
Nah, they can play better mate. Swap managers today and we would be looking much better.Mate, I readily admit I was one of those who cheered Jose when he came and jeered for his departure at the end because he was just toxic.

The passing has bothered me for a while. Too often the pass has the wrong pace, is to the wrong foot, or makes the receiver have to stretch to control. Good managers do not accept that in training. This is my biggest concern with OGS. If this doesn't improve, I might join the bandwagon to see him gone. Note, at this point I fully support Ole because the team shows promise once in a while and he bought 3 good players in the summer.There was an encouraging spell at the beginning where I started to feel (naively) that maybe we had turned a corner in our style of play. But of course, it all came crashing down. I think Martial, Rashford and James are keepers, but we need a clear upgrade on Pereira. I love McTominay, but his passing continues to be hit and miss. Fred was ok. AWB had a game to forget and Lindelof didn't exactly inspire confidence. As for Maguire, I think he's ok, but I'm struggling to see how he is much of an upgrade on Smalling. Where are the surging runs that we were promised?
And another thing that pisses me off is how there is no crispness to our passing. The number of times the likes of Lindelof plays a sideways pass behind the target is beyond count. For a team that rarely dribbles through teams, we don't look like work on our passing sharpness very much. Just uninspired dross (again.)
Yeah, broadcast here literally summed it up like this "United lost, next up Liverpool v Aston Villa" that was it. No one cares anymore, this is our level.I love how you go on Twitter and it's normally exploding after a loss like this but there's just nothing now, nobody cares 13 points from 33 we are exactly where we are supposed to be with this group of players.
Can the new manager get 10 new players with him tomorow?13 PTS from 33. It's nowhere near good enough.
Ole out and let's have a manager worthy of the job in charge. Not a sentimental decision. You have to earn these things.
Players might not be coached like the City or Liverpool players are, but surely you'd need some players with brains as well? I mean these feckers have been playing football since they could barely walk and still they look clueless, what the feck are they doing during the week? Looking at clouds passing Carrington by? Time to put some responsibility on the only people who can actually make a change out there - the players.Nah, they can play better mate. Swap managers today and we would be looking much better.
Those players are not coached well and are not playing to their potential resulting in us being shite.
Of course I don't expect to challenge for honors straight away and is a long run, but performances like these are appalling.

Mate, by then (Cherries scoring), they would have been 2 or 3 up.I just knew once we went behind that that was it. If it were City or Liverpool you could bet on them coming back to win.
I'm middling on the whole game, but I agree with your assessment. On the whole, I think we just played ourselves.I missed the first 20 mins. That said I don't think we were particularly poor. I would argue Bournemouth were worse.
However 2 things are clear to me:
1. Midfield including No.10 are woefully lacking in creativity.
2. This is not helped by a lack of coaching in attacking third.
Nothing we can do about it. This is our season. I bet you our final results will be W12 D13 L13. We will get 50 pts or so and end up 7-10th.
Maybe, maybe not they would have won with Eddie at the helm. But I still think the table doesn’t lie and we are a mid-table team with a huge hole to fill in terms of talent across all areas of the pitch. I agree Ole is in trouble but don’t think Ed will get rid this early.Nah, they can play better mate. Swap managers today and we would be looking much better.

Anderson was pretty good at the SambaWe manage to get all the least Brazilian Brazilians ever.
I can't muster a rigorous defence of Ole at this point.What if Ole is clueless?
I have (played football) and the manager plays a huge role. Looking clueless is easy, especially when you follow certain instructions that aren't working.Players might not be coached like the City or Liverpool players are, but surely you'd need some players with brains as well?

EDIT: I've never played football at a professional level, but I've played esports and various lower level sports where coaches have been involved, and even though we've had coaches we've had to teach ourselves things, or study things ourselves. I get the fact that the overall strategy needs to be planned and coached, but it doesn't seem like any of these players are capable.
Not surprised, just super pi$$ed at it all.Are you surprised? Every single time we look like we're kicking on these players will dissappoint. They simply are not very good.
