I think you can question how well individual performances have followed a trajectory under him too.
De Gea - No words required.
Maguire - Came with a big reputation and for huge money. Looks like a flop at his price point and now we're all in agreement that he needs another big signing next to him to get the best out of him. His stock has fallen massively since his Leicester days.
Matic - Age is probably the main factor here in fairness. But there has been a drop off in my opinion.
Lingard - Had some good times under previous managers. Never rated him highly but I feel Ole definitely brought out the worst in him.
Martial - The worst I've seen him in a United shirt. Best season under LVG. The talent is barely even recognisable these days, which was something I couldn't previously deny Martial FC. So bad, in fact, Martial FC disbanded and haven't been seen to this day.
Greenwood- Seems to have handled him poorly this season and hasn't kicked on. This was blamed on his trouble with England in the summer, in which Foden was also involved. Forden having his best season to date.
Rashford- Where do I start? He's pampered and protected this guy since he arrived. He's played him constantly. Whilst Rashford has a decent goalscoring record in all competitions, his all round play has been worse, for me. He hasn't evolved as a footballer and has still got the inconsistencies of a player just starting out. Although he's only 23, he has a load of experience behind him. Ole messed him around d by changing positions to accommodate Martial and Cavani, choosing to play Rashford all over the place. Since that period he's looked dreadful.
There's probably more that I'm forgetting and some that aren't included because they've been moved on. Pogba is another that has perhaps not been utilised properly at all by Ole.
That is a very good point, it's alarming how many players are regressing. I know Greenwood is a young player and they can fluctuate form, but he's been out of form- Ole should be developing his skills.
He also won't drop players who are blatantly out of form. I haven't seen enough of Henderson to establish if he is definitely our future number one, but surely he's earnt a chance and if we don't give him more chances, while DDG costs us points, we risk losing him.
He also makes bizarre decisions, Bruno is being run into the ground, why not rest him during the 2nd leg of the Real Socieadad game, where we were 4-0 up I know we had injuries but surely Bruno should have been rested. We are reliant on Bruno so it was frustrating to see him used. Also, not taking off Fred when he was a red card waiting to happen vs PSG. We could all see what was going to happen. It did.
Also, he isn't getting the best out of players. Surely DVB is more than serviceable, the management of him is bizarre. If Ole had been able to utilise him well, more players especially Bruno, could have got rest.
I'd go as far as saying if Bruno gets injured, we aren't finishing in the top 4.
Also, the performances lately are horrendous to watch. So slow. So boring. So predictable. The opposing team will park the bus. We will walk around the pitch, passing backwards and sideways with the occasional forray forwards, trying and failing to break them down. Rinse and repeat. Teams are now learning Ole can't break down low block defensive teams so will set up this way for their games against us.
Also the predictable slow starts. Constant theme.
Also, when we were looking at a POSSIBLE title challenge, Ole kept refusing to accept we could challenge- if this negative mindset is used with the players, it doesn't help. I didn't think we would win it but still had that faint element of belief. Obviously he may just be downplaying it for journalists but what did he say to the players?
Are there perhaps the faintest signs he is just starting to lose the dressing room? It may just be press talk but you get faint rumours of dressing room arguments with Bruno. Also the lack of urgency on the pitch- we were strolling around like a Sunday walk in the park yesterday, despite not leading. Why?
Ole is very passive in game as well, it used to drive me mad seeing Moyes slumped on the bench, Ole needs to get after them, especially yesterday, if I was sat as manager watching that I'd be out of my seat gesturing them forwards, telling them to get up the pitch. Sit in your seat when we are winning.
