We are an awfully coached team

Think it's less about mentality and more about organisation. Other teams aren't in the right positions (or consistently committing tactical fouls) to stop these counter attacks by accident, or on their own initiative.
Its all about pace, power and desire

What grinds me is that you can never really say we outplay any team in our recent wins. We are reliant on magic moments and everything seems to be struggle

That's literally the story of Oles management time here.

He's one of the worst managers in the league.

We are so easy to play against. Unbelievable. Naive is a right word to describe our play.

It's been predictable for about 2 years now and nothing has changed. Play against a team with a decent shape that's hard to break down and we look all over the place. Hold the ball a lot, move it too slow look very shaky on the counter. But I guess it's all Freds fault.

I have already lost interest in the season. Have absolutely no stomach for another top four battle.

Another game another shitty performance, Ole's at the wheel lads. PASSION, UNITED DNA, etc

Even leaving aside coaching specifics, on a fundamental level Ole hasn't been able to address our major problem from last season, which is repeatedly putting ourselves in positions where we have to make comebacks to win. You can't expect to win major trophies if you keep having to get wins in the hardest possible way.

Still early, but this season could go down as a massive missed opportunity. Ronaldo, Varane, and Cavani in the same side, and yet it looks highly unlikely that we'll be winning any trophies.

Sack him, SACK HIM NOW!

he's a joke of a manager who is leading us to nothing but another early champions league group stage exit and a top 4 scrap and wasting a talented squad on a hugely limited manager, he's no better than moyes with both only good at setting up as the underdog.

The luck he’s had in the last two games - Villarreal’s countles chances, Tom Davies being a coward.

That’s the thing. The results looks bad but it’s actually so much worse.

my 1-1 prediction was right.

Alhtough I thought they would score first.

Dreadful aimless listless stuff

Playing like shit and stealing a late goal is such a grotesque pastiche of what ‘ the United way’ actually means it’s so depressing.

Even worse if the late goal doesn’t come

He has to go.

We are fecking shit.

Every single game, except for whenever we play Leeds at home, we look a disjointed unorganised fecking mess.

Forget results, the performances are unacceptable.

Always said this about Ole

He was the manager to bring back our identity/pull us out of the mire - which he has done briliantly.

But he is never the manager to get us over the line/properly competing. For that you need a top top coach now. He isn't that.

His time looks nigh.

He isn't qualified to be United manager in the first place and is obviously underperforming on the job.

Unbelievably stupid play yet again. Wasting a good free kick opportunity.

Please just get rid of Ole and his staff. Waste of talent.

No plan whatsoever. No plan. One clear chance in whole game (Cavani). After 1:1, we didn't manage to do anything.

Typical performance under this manager. Doesn’t matter how talented the squad is when the coaching is so poor. Starting to feel like another wasted season already & the harder games are yet to come.

Team keeps getting better, Ole somehow keeps getting worse. End this now.

Nothing new. We're shit. Our playstyle is even worse now than before and again it's all thanks to Ole shoehorning Ronaldo into the side without having a clue how to use him. Ronaldo barely even runs and the entire is disjointed thanks to that.

If our board had a morsel of ambition they send him packing back to Molde (with Fred as a parting gift) and bring in a proper manager. We're looking like wasting another season.

I had been firmly in the camp of let's judge Ole in January, but I don't think this is sustainable. I don't see us winning anything this season.

How much more are the blinkered ole fans going to take.

This is totally unacceptable.

City, Chelsea and liverpool would not go this long without some sort of tactical, player or formational change

The same things continue to happen and even the blind can see its down to the manager and coaching team

Another set of individual errors led to the goal; Fred should really have dealt with Gray.
