Well, except well, the massive improvement in results over Ole of course And I mean, massive, and getting bigger each passing week.That has been tried with no improvement in results.
I get what you are saying but it's not how football works. For a few seasons now I see people hanging on the couple of chances that we create and miss as if footballers score them all the time. This weekend I have watched Barcelona and Liverpool attackers miss bigger chances but it wasn't that important because they created a lot of other chances. We need to create more chances, it's as simple as that, because players miss chances, top players included.Tonight wasn't good enough. But then there's no excuses for Martial and Mata missing the chances they did.
Again they all had old senior players.. but ok let's just keep on pretending that no one had issues with those managers. LVG was killing us and Jose finished the job. Didn't say anything about Ole doing the same, asked a question if people really thought another manager would change anything. I don't think so, with the same overhead it will be the same shitshow..Well considering the last 2 managers did absolutely miles better than this whilst still being not right for United, I'd gonna have to go with yes.
Moyes PL win-rate: 51%
LVG PL win-rate: 51%
Mourinho PL win-rate: 54% (including the part season the fecker wanted the sack)
Ole PL win-rate: 37%
fecking stupid question @arthurka. Another making out as though Ole is "only doing as bad as the others", not he aint, he's absolutely awful.
Players that a top manager could work with from that list?Which players?
My god man, 37%. 13 months in the job. Ole chose to gut his squad, that's on him! Yes people had issues, ultimately none of them were good enough, but all were miles better than Ole and you said "we've tried that and result were no better", and yes they were... miles fecking better.Again they all had old senior players.. but ok let's just keep on pretending that no one had issues with those managers.

The best bit is that Ole replaced a 'top manager' who signed three of the 'squadies' you've listed as only good enough as back up, whilst another has only looked remotely like a United player in the last couple of months under him.Players that a top manager could work with from that list?
de Gea, Romero, AWB, Maguire, Tuanzabe, Williams, Pogba, McTominey, Fred, Rashford, Martial, Greenwood
Backed up by squadies like Lindelof, Matic, Dalot, Garner, Gomes.
A LOT of managers could add 2-3 players to that and do very well!
He has lost to teams like Burnley, Bournemouth, Newcastle, who were also missing players (so don’t even start about Pogba)
The squad isn’t great, but it is FAR better than what he is doing.
Other teams are messing about, this is a massive chance to get back into the CL and rebuild our crumbling reputation.
Take it out of his hands, now!
Just because a volatile Mourinho was a mistake, doesn’t mean a forward thinking, modern manager will do the same! Have we tried that yet?The best bit is that Ole replaced a 'top manager' who signed three of the 'squadies' you've listed as only good enough as back up, whilst another has only looked remotely like a United player in the last couple of months under him.
That top manager had those lads in 2nd though didn't he @Dobba ? With a win-rate of like 68%.The best bit is that Ole replaced a 'top manager' who signed three of the 'squadies' you've listed as only good enough as back up, whilst another has only looked remotely like a United player in the last couple of months under him.
Ok I am not Ole in, but I struggle to see anyone with any dignity left take over this mess. Not defending Ole at all but this clear out was needed and fans had been waiting for it for a long time.My god man, 37%. 13 months in the job. Ole chose to gut his squad, that's on him!
You're hopeless.
So basically you are saying manager's position is pointless in football? Liverpool should get rid of Klopp and bring back Dalgish.That has been tried with no improvement in results.
Leicester squad a year ago was good enough for a top half finish and play really bad in most games, whilst under performing the lot of them. Fast forward 12 months they are 14 points clear of the 5th placed team, playing very good football after changing managers and selling their best defender.The best bit is that Ole replaced a 'top manager' who signed three of the 'squadies' you've listed as only good enough as back up, whilst another has only looked remotely like a United player in the last couple of months under him.
Ole is the worst by far. The stats don't lie. He has 19 losses in 41 games, it took Jose 117 games to get 19 losses.That has been tried with no improvement in results.
It's ridiculously bad.Which players?
Do that for the Burnley squad. Seems that you always argue everyone else has a better team/squad than United.It's ridiculously bad.
Imagine in May 2019 someone told you our line up for an important PL game in 2020 would be (common opinions at the time):
De Gea (past his best)
Williams (who? youth team)
Maguire (Leicester)
Jones (useless)
Wan Bissaka (Palace)
Fred (pretty useless)
Matic (finished)
James (Swansea)
Pereira (useless)
Mata (finished)
Martial
Bench
Greenwood (who? Youth team)
Lingard (useless)
I don't want to make excuses for tonight. I expected to win because Burnley are terrible. But is it really that surprising we didn't?
I'd sooner have a good portion of Sheffield United's players than the deadwood shit (a good portion of which were signed and/or extended, on wages that no club would come near, by previous managers) we've got raking it in by the millions every week. Absolutely.Just because a volatile Mourinho was a mistake, doesn’t mean a forward thinking, modern manager will do the same! Have we tried that yet?
We have to live with the mistakes of the past, but that doesn’t mean we have to continue to make them.
Would you swap that squad with Sheffield United, Southampton, Newcastle, Crystal Palace or Burnley?
Because they are all within 4 points of us after 24 games.
It's ridiculously bad.

Well it will, the 2 previous managers have proven that*. We'll win a lot more games.appointing a new boss wont change jack shit.
Do you disagree with it? Be honest about what you would have thought at the time. You can admit it's not very good without losing face.Do that for the Burnley squad. Seems that you always argue everyone else has a better team/squad than United.
That's BS though because our managers have clearly brought their own choices when it comes to recrutement and staff, they have all tried to build a team at their image and since none of them had experience at doing it or weren't good, they all failed. We can blame Woodward for hiring these managers or not creating a structure that would prevent managers from always trying to destroy what their predecessor did but we can't say that they hamstrung the managers.appointing a new boss wont change jack shit. Now with the incompetent Woodward and his side kick the inept Judge running recruitment and long term football strategy. They literally hamstring any manager
It’s the manager who breeds that spirit in the squad. No offense to Sheffield United but they are extremely limited. It’s all down to Wilder who has them playing well above themselves in a good system where everyone clearly knows their roles.I'd sooner have a good portion of Sheffield United's players than the deadwood shit (a good portion of which were signed and/or extended, on wages that no club would come near, by previous managers) we've got raking it in by the millions every week. Absolutely.
At least there is half a chance they'll still have professional pride after their first visit to the cashpoint after signing for us.
With the same injuries? More likely better, but chance it could be worse. Do you need to quote a % in every post?@Leftback99 do you think if we'd hired Conte last March, he would have the squad we have now and have us on a 37% win rate?
Klopp.appointing a new boss wont change jack shit. Now with the incompetent Woodward and his side kick the inept Judge running recruitment and long term football strategy. They literally hamstring any manager

Well getting rid of the deadwood is always a good idea. Not replacing them is a poor idea though.I keep hearing from the Ole fangirls that he’s got rid of deadwood, at the same time they would give there left testicle for Herrera and maybe Fellaini to still be here. Enough said!
Yes, to highlight the embarrassment of it.With the same injuries? More likely better, but chance it could be worse. Do you need to quote a % in every post?
Current season and a gutted team thanks to Ole?Do you disagree with it? Be honest about what you would have thought at the time. You can admit it's not very good without losing face.
I made my point about Burnley at the bottom. I still expected to win.
Apart from Young who is this deadwood? We are still paying fecking Sanchez’s wages for gods sake!Well getting rid of the deadwood is always a good idea. Not replacing them is a poor idea though.
If Pochettino came in I feel like we really wouldn't do much. Only so much you can do when you have to deal with the Glazers and Woodward. Spurs at least were able to drive hard bargains. We have an idiot in charge who brags about our spending power but then refuses to meet asking prices... because other teams respond to that "spending power" by asking for a little bit extra. And then shit falls through. Put Pochettino in charge of the squad we've had this season, and we would be no better off IMO. He's obviously a quality manager and better than Ole, but we wouldn't be able to do whats needed to support Pochettino in the first place.I said it with Jose, sacking him won't fix the mess but it had got to the point where we absolutely had to go. The football was shite and the atmosphere was toxic. He had to go even though there wasn't any real candidate available to replace him at the time.
Now with Ole, the atmosphere isn't bad and the players still are saying Ole's the right man etc. But the football and results are shite. The main reason why I'm Ole has to go is because I believe the right man is available.
It's been mentioned a lot over these last few months but something that's not been rectified along with many other weaknesses in our game.45 percent of the goals we have conceded so far this season are from dead ball situations either corners or free kicks, surely this is down to the manager and coaching staff both too recognise and rectify in training. They clearly have failed to do this, so this is only one aspect of the team management and coaching where improvement could be made with better quality coaching and management to over see that coaching.
