Yeah, that was very valid point. To score tap ins, movement, positioning should be good. Something that both Martial and Rashford should work on, especially Martial who barely makes runs behind the defense.
Solskjær press conference vs Leicester (A)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Wants to coach his young players' weaknesses. Told Rashford to start passing into the back of the net and Martial to make runs in behind. Jose's defeatist attitude made it seem like these flaws were permanent when it was rather his own flaw that he didn't know how to develop young attackers
Gary Neville pointed this out a couple of months ago. Hopefully now he's working under an attacking coach Martial will add this to the game, so many of City's goals look beautiful on the eye but are created by Sane simply making runs on the blind side of the RB.
Why are there always questions of who is fit, who is going to play, why not how will you play? etc The opposition finds out to much info
I never get tired of Ole’s press conferences, honestly. After Moyes incompetency and defeatism, Vangle’s strange cryptic nature and Mourinho’s abject negativity, it’s nice to just hear some positivity when listening to the manager for a change.
The press conferences grew to annoy me because I knew we would be hearing some nonsense or some excuse from our previous managers, but now I look forward to hearing what our manager has to say

I love him. He made me fall in love with football again. Results aside, i the whole thing became a pleasure again.
It's like a mantra hearing him. At first, I thought maybe this is a facade, a show, a this is how a United coach should sound like type of thing. But this is clearly how OGS is. And it's perfect, at least in regards to the PCs. I love how he is being positive, constructive and somewhat steering free from getting into details that could be hard to talk about with the press. Really professional and great leadership.
To be honest, that was fun. I enjoyed how insane he was.I never get tired of Ole’s press conferences, honestly.

A shame about the football we played under him.
If we were playing good football under him I would have enjoyed them. As it was, it was just annoying to me
Another good presser from Ole, this part in particular was really good to hear.
Yeah. Pretty much. Ole is spot on.
Loved that he mentioned Martial getting a proper chance up the middle.
He is a striker, not a winger
He is a striker, not a winger
I love how Ole identifies where players need to improve without being a giant arsehole about it.
Martial scoring more scruffy goals and making better runs is most certainly where he need to improve, but it’s been said in a way that makes it a challenge, not a criticism.
Compare it to the way the last cnut in charge made Pogba’s World Cup win all about what he wasn’t doing at United, the difference is night and day.

It's important that he and Rashford effectively share the position when they start together. Both of them are fine pulling into those wide spaces to find ball or make runs, but they need to be threatening the goal not the touchline at least some of the time. So there's room for them to switch back and forth between wide and central and get the best out of both of them in the same match, I think.
That still boils my piss. What a ridiculous comments they were.
I love the way he says this. It was trying to be respectful to Leicester but, at the same time he was saying "we are going to smash them." I think it's the sly smile he used when accompanying this statement.
Lovely to see.
And people thought he was right in what he was saying..
The job of manager requires a certain balance of managing people (both players and coaches) and coaching itself. Some are good at one and not the other. Some emphasize one over the other. Ole seems to strike the proper balance, but you can see and hear the coach coming out all the time and that's the part I'm loving. He sees issues and believes they can be fixed. Previous Manager Who Shall Not Be Named seemed almost entirely manager and not interested in the coaching. He saw issues and complained about them.
I'm fairly certain he is being prompted at this point since he never seems to say the wrong thing. Ever.
His transformation into Golem seems to be gathering pace, though, which is somewhat of a concern it has to be said.
Ole says all the right things we want to hear, always positive too with no doom and gloom about anything
So answering questions about how he will play, doesn't give the opposition too much info?
Pogba winning the world cup was very damaging for Jose and his fanboys egos. They thought the cup competition made him focus and he didnt have the fight to show it week in week out in the PL.
No sign of Pogba at training today apparently.

Pretty boring now because I have nothing to complain about
That is what Ole want from fullback to do it like this. Rashford were to scoring this in Brighton when Young passed squared to Rashford.
I think more important than just wanting players to improve in certain areas is OGS’s willingness to build the team around our players’ strengths rather than forcing them to fit into his predetermined system. He’s more flexible than others. Perhaps it’s a result of not having been in management that long. Perhaps it’s also a result of simply being a very open-minded character, who doesn’t shut his eyes towards any idea and to the developments of football. While he does expect his players to improve in certain aspects of their game, he’ll also always look to support their strengths as well. That goes a long way in not only maximizing the team’s potential but also keeping it happy and motivated.
Tough game vs Leicester City away, especially they recently won Man City, draw Liverpool. So i expect Ole will start his winning XI this game. It is time for us back to Top 4, considering the poor performance of Chelsea, and injury problem of Arsenal.

Can this guy ever say something wrong? Get the passion for playing for United onto the players and the OT and crowd will take care of the rest. Signing a contract at United shouldn't bear too much thinking.
Not to be mean but you're either low level English speaker or this post is a complete mess.
I thought our attacking players couldn’t be improved? The previous manager said their natural talent wasn’t enough And many of our fans agreed
And many of our fans agreed The man has been positive every single presser so far and it's incredibly refreshing.
FFS ole having me tearing up over here. Why is he so good at talking words
Our forwards are lucky to have someone like Ole who has been there, done that, to guide them.
And yes, being in positions where you can simply tap in or score easy goals is a big part of being a forward. He is correct. That is what will make you move from 10-12 goal category to 20+.

He's such a likeable guy. I desperately hope he has what it takes to be long term manager here.
Yeah, you are being mean but... it really is a fecking mess. Reads like bad comedy dialogue written by a racist screenwriter.
I've always loved Solskjaer but him coming in when he did replacing a certain somebody and just being the polar opposite has made the impossible possible in that I love him even more now.
Misery knows company and one thing Jose was is miserable. So the players had to be miserable too. Ole has brought an incredibly refreshing change to everything.

Rashford and Martial both look at ease when playing together. They have this chemistry. I hope they grew up in to a legendary pair of strikers united ever had.
