Another boring, lacklustre performance. 3 games in and this already is going to be a long season because we didn’t bother our holes to get transfers done. Ole’s tactics doesn’t help either.
Why can’t they get motivated? They look like they don’t give a shit. Even their passing are weak and unmotivated.Another classic for FC Slow Motion Zombies.
Well, this thread was made when the great one was still in charge!Why can’t they get motivated? They look like they don’t give a shit. Even their passing are weak and unmotivated.
This has been the case for every manager since SAF.
Well, at least it was entertaining with SAF.Well, this thread was made when the great one was still in charge!
Honestly, it's been a problem for like a decade. Well into Fergie's final years.
The players are weak minded and we went from a manager who drove the them to hate him in Mourinho to a manager they can't take seriously in Ole.Why can’t they get motivated? They look like they don’t give a shit. Even their passing are weak and unmotivated.

At this point it's pretty much negligence, isn't it? There's so many things wrong with our football, and the club in general, that have been identified as problems for years, but here we are; still wondering why the problem exists...Well, at least it was entertaining with SAF.
But yeah, how can this continue season after season. Is it something in the water?
The sad fact is that you’re probably right. Ole has a hell of a job to survive this.The players are weak minded and we went from a manager who drove the them to hate him in Mourinho to a manager they can't take seriously in Ole.
Look at the way a Conte has Inter playing compared to this crap.
It is. I hope we are on the right way now, but it doesn’t look that way.At this point it's pretty much negligence, isn't it?

Well, at least it is better than back to De Gea and then he passes the other teams goalie..I love when we do a short kick out to the full back who then passes it to the centre back who passes it back to the full back and then a lump up the pitch to nobody.
I'm pretty sure that's not what is meant by playing out from the back
Does it matter if it goes out of play or to the opposition ?How many long passes our midfield even attempts ? You know, like Beckham and Scholes used to do...
Can someone please explain this, it’s so frustrating.How has it been a constant theme with us for so long?
It wasn't even slow, it just felt it because we were coming of the highs from 2007-2010ish where everything we did was at a really high tempo. The current crap we're serving up is like watching an bunch of sloths trying to play. The wide areas thing is the biggest thing that I don't get about the current team, we have a manager that played in a team that heavily used the wings and an assistant coach that was part of the overload the wings strategy when this thread started yet we refused to play down the wings at all basically today other than the bits of good stuff Dalot did.The “zombie football” from 2012 was a million miles from what we’re seeing now. At least Sir Alex had a plan to maximise the quality of his limited players. Overloading wide areas and then overloading the box wasn’t always pretty but it was effective against most teams. I’m not sure what instructions the current squad are receiving. It’s certainly not high pressing which Ole talked up last season. They’re not playing with any kind of tempo or switching play with any urgency. At the moment the only continuity of style from game to game is an opening 20 minutes of aimless sprinting before settling into a rhythm of slow sideways passing.
That has basically no influence our shambolic attacking patterns.All comes down to De Gea having no command of his area, defence don’t trust him and it cascades from there
it will go on for another 7 years if we continue like this with our manager and transfer policy.Thread started in 2012 and still relevant 7 years later
They can't be that bad at it...some basic coaching on that must be going on in trainingDoes it matter if it goes out of play or to the opposition ?
There's white text somewhere here, surely man?!All comes down to De Gea having no command of his area, defence don’t trust him and it cascades from there
It's not. Remember how well we played with basically no instructions after Jose left?Arsenal are winning 3-0 so far with equally shit players. It’s has to be a problem with management. Clueless management. I wish there was some video footage of what we do at training. I refuse to believe our squad is this inept.
