If this game was the other way round you would have been saying we should have won comfortably. We got away with it.
Ralf Rangnick | ex-interim manager | does anyone rate him?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

if Chelsea had created nothing and United could've easily won. How come xG was 2.58 - 0.8 ?
It' was a "good game" by our current form but let not pretend it was really good game.
See, that's where I am disagreeing. Fred, RLC or Rudiger lacking talent isn't the issue here. Did Chelsea or United got into a position where they should have scored ? If Yes, it's a clear cut goal scoring chance. Whether they actually scored is a different thing altogether.
It wasn’t a really good game at all. Good result though in the context of the season, quite clearly.
Is this the Rangnick thread or the Post Match thread?
Please tell me he's taking training tomorrow?
Why do we take a so long to get anything done. He could have started after Liverpool, or the 2 week international break...

I already feel sorry for him given how many people I saw saying today different coach same shit directed at Carrick after 1 week. If we don't play well in his first game load of twats will be ready to slate him.
As reported before he got access to video recordings of training sessions and obviously he has access to actual game footage. You can be sure he is at work analysing and planning what to do, we will see when he officially takes over.
"We will see" isn't really good enough considering he should have been in weeks ago but any competent club's standards.
Oh no watch the glazers be like “give carrick a two year deal, call Ralfy tell him it’s off
There were new guys among the coaching staff with earpieces whom I assumed were there to relay information from Rangnick. At least I'd never seen them before. One of them was a bald guy, distinct from the 2 other bald guys who are usually among the staff.

Exactly, i don't understand why some are trying to paint it as a good performance. Yes the result was good but if we had played like Chelsea and they played the way we did, most here would be asking how we did not win.
Anyone else catch what Demba Ba said about Ralf?

Compared to recent United, eg against Liverpool, City, Watford etc it was decent. I'd say solid. We set up for a 0-0.
Compared to where we should be and the opposition, pretty rubbish. Only one team interested in playing football with some quality and finesse. We went for the underdog tactics again.
I said this many times under Ole, but you will know we are back when we go out against a top level team and we're there ones dominating periods, probing their defence with good, intelligent possession, creating openings through smart movement and intelligent passing.
We saw none of that today. I'm not saying this as a stick to beat Carrick with, but that's what this performance was today. We've had loads of these over the last 3 years. Let's call a spade a spade.

Pocco, why is this the post match thread?
It really is incredible to see just how badly we have done with one of the best squads in the league.
-43 - During the month of November so far, Manchester United (17) have attempted the fewest shots in the Premier League, whilst also facing more opposition attempts than any team (60). Crossroads.
From Opta.
Please god let him be announced tomorrow!

I noticed that bald guy too. Never seen him before but didn’t think that he could have been one of Rangnick’s guys.
Not bollocks at all, that should be reserved for those who believe there was a system and that we've got better.
Better at playing defensively with no thought of attacking I would agree with.
Interesting. Sure it wasn’t the FBI coming to arrest our coaches for playing such criminal football?
Excellent point today though. Vital that we didn’t throw it away in the last minutes. Agree though. It wasn’t the shower that Pool and City were. And it at least shows we can be organized and defend when we don’t have Maguire to cock it up. But 17 shots in our penalty area to our 1 in theirs is obviously not a great performance overall.
Same coaches, same shit!
Good. Not that he can change much in few training sessions before Arsenal but the sooner he starts, the better. First 3 games in charge against Arsenal, Palace and Young Boys, all at Old Trafford.
Strange that we haven't announced it. Minor details being ironed out? Can't be the fecking work permit thing.
Folks I feel will have to temper down their expectations on how quickly he will get us playing his way.
Tuchel was asked about a journalist if he thought this was a Ralf Rangnick performance from Man Utd and he flagrantly laughed and said "No, not a chance."
It's a good time for him to come in, on paper we've got some easy games coming up. The Young Boys game is a dead rubber so he can use it almost as a training session.
Yes, we mustn't expect miracles. However, I'm sure his coaching will improve the team massively in the coming months. Can't wait to see his influence take effect.
Gary Neville embarrassed himself with this line on Twitter. It was basically the same as midweek, against a far better side, with Bruno disrupting any ability to keep possession to get a foothold in the game.
It was Diego Simone performance. Although we could of nicked it if fred had played in Lingard.I’m a bit worried this still hasn’t been announced. If everything is in place and it just hasn’t been announced, there’s nothing to worry about. If we are going to be going into the Arsenal game without a new manager, it could be terminal for our season.
According to Nagelsmann couple of weeks.
Eagerly awaiting posts from moany posters on here when we don’t hit the ground running when Ralf gets here (it’ll take a few weeks if not a month or two before we get the cogs running perfectly, I mean hopefully it’ll be a Tuchel effect and it’ll happen almost overnight, but not holding my breath) and about how shit he is and how the board are inept.
He needs a visa. Brexit innit.
Don’t worry about it, it’ll be fine
That’s my worry. He won’t be able to do much until he gets it, bar working from abroad,
Im sure it's more about the work permit. Or perhaps they were waiting to announce it after the expected loss against Chelsea, to shift the talk. Or the stock market situ. Hopefully, it's tomorrow though.
Even by skys standards
An embarrassing question
Tuchel justifiably treated it with distain
Our fixture list is excellent until around March.
Calm down man. We'll be fine.
