We are an awfully coached team

2-0 down

Said this before, the issue with this squad is bruno...we cant play 3 attackers like rashford greenwood and ronaldo...and then add bruno who is basically another striker. Have a mid 3 of pogba mcfred and control the game. No other team apart from city tries to fit in so many attackers. Its why so many of our matches are almost like basketball matches.

This is by some distance the worst I have seen United play . We have been boring in the past but the last few weeks we have been ripped apart every single game

Are our board members blind ? Everybody know this guy is incompetent. And stop this bullshit Pogba is the cause of us leaking goals. His favourite golden boys mcfred still do jack shit

 

[Raw]

Can't wait for the Liverpool game

 

[GatoLoco]

Solskjaer really needs to be sacked.

The sooner the better.

Nah, we've been worse under Ole. Burnley, Cardiff, Huddersfield. Heck the fecking win against West Ham last year was pathetic.

 

[VivaRonaldo85]

The defending from set pieces remains lamentable. We’re supposed to have brought in specialist coaching for this. What a joke.

Nah I meant in terms of a spell of games . Anyone can have a bad game but I don’t see one thing in these performances that tells me that they can turn this around

Might put a bet on a Salah hattrick. He will run rings round us.

 

[Yagami]

Guys, just think. This is our big reaction to the Leicester game. Ole does talk a good game.

 

[Amadaeus]

They wont, probably still being obnoxious in their obnoxious threads.

Ole inners need to apologize to everyone for their god awful and pompous behaviour in the past few months

Yea, definitely will have to make a thread when the inevitable happens. All you have to do is look at post history and see who was right back then. I feel vindicated and all the abuse I got was uncalled for then.

 

[Jackal981]

I saw our coaching and pattern of play guys ! Spamming long balls to Rashford ! Well done Ole and team !

 

[Raw]

Gonna hear a lot of "we'll bounce back", "we'll learn from this" and "focusing on the next game" bullshit.

 

[NewYorkRed]

I’ve said this before, i’ll say it again. This is the man that got Cardiff relegated. Why on earth is good enough for us? For heaven’s sakes just please get rid of him. Love him as a legend, but he isn’t even a sunday league coach. And it finally looks like the players have given up on him too.

 

[groovyalbert]

This is getting worse than Jose and LVG right now. At least we were hard to beat then, it was just unwatchable.

 

[Sean_RedDevil]

If he would care about the club then he would resign.

Saw this and couldn’t agree more, why the hell is he just sat there all the time it really winds me the hell up

 

[Mockney]

The whole “we don’t press enough, Ronaldo & Pogba are lazy etc etc” arguments that have now been picked up by pundits, strike me as merely a really lazy way of repurposing the ol “they just need to try harder” schtick into more modern language… whilst conveniently ignoring how terrible we are at basically everything else - passing, playing into space or setting ourselves up as a remotely modern team..

It allows fans and the ‘Old Boy’ pundits to blame everything on the players whilst ostensibly pretending to be critical. We are a terrible, archaic team… managed and coached by people with no ingenuity who wouldn’t be hired by anyone else… how much we’re pressing has feck all to do with anything IMO

 

[stw2022]

You know when you haven’t spoken in a while and it takes you a minute or two for your voice to sound normal. Do you think this is what all half time team talks are like for him?

 

[davidmichael]

It’ll be “if Fred scores those two chances or if Rasher’s scores at the end of the half it’s a different game and we’re up 3-2” from Ole and I’m so fecking done with “if …..” as that isn’t acceptable, I love Ole but he isn’t nor ever has been a good enough coach and we’re wasting so much talent with this joke of a set up.

Coaches got an extension last week ……

SAF spent most games sitting down too, so its not like one attitude is better than the other in all cases.

 

[spiriticon]

Everybody's shouting at each other about runs and positioning.

We've played 10 games this season and still nobody knows where their teammates are going to run? Really?

 

[Di Maria's angel]

Top reds like Wumminator who act like they're doing a service by abusing other posters.

 

[Jackal981]

Funny thing is the final thing he needed to do to make us compete again is to remove himself after all the deadwoods he shipped out. Ironic

 

[NewYorkRed]

Our best tactic today, and generally recently, has been hoof it up the park. Literally. This is big Sam level of coaching. He is awful. Still no Conte for me, but Zidane or whatever that dutch guy’s name is- lets get them in before liverpool. We can actually beat them without Ole; with him we will get shafted

 

[NinjaZombie]

I don't know why we have two holding midfielders and we still are losing the midfield battle in the half spaces. Just utter incompetence by everyone involved.

 

[Bobcat]

Far from it. We've looked much worse than we have did so far tonight, but Atalanta scored from their only chance, which was a very good attack, and a single corner

Not even close to good enough, but we've been worse than tonight

 

[Amadaeus]

Noticing that our most effective gameplan in this game is longball from our defense to Rashford. That seems like the only way we can break through defense. This just shows you how poor our attacking gameplan is when longballs is the most effective. I called it that this would be our approach before the game even started

 

[Orton]

2 holding midfielders who cannot defend, cannot hold their positions and pretty much don’t offer any protection. We can’t string 3 passes together in the opponents half.

Yeah, when we were winning

No. This would be what Big Sam sees as an attacking system, but he knows how to keep a tight defense and grind out results. Comparing this defense to Big Sam level coaching is an insult on Big Sam.

 

[Rook]

I haven't been impressed with us for a long time but the talk of renewing the coaches contracts was the last straw.

A big part of managing is delegation and appointing an assistant/coaches that can cover for your weaknesses.
This team is so poor in every area of the game. Watching our forwards talking to each other to try to organise a press well into the 2nd half against Villareal was desperate.
We persevered with 4-2-3-1 for half a season when we had no-one capable of playing the role behind the forward until we bought Fernandes. We persevered with it when it was clear Pogba does not do well in a midfield two. Every time our half hearted press is broken there is so much space down the flanks because we don't even try to compress the play.
When we actually have the ball, we have no plan on what we are trying to do with it. Just an aimless pass it and hope something magically happens.

If Ole can look at this team and say that he and his coaching staff are doing enough to deserve new contracts and he's not considering changes things up, then that's the most damning thing of all.

What attacking gameplan?

I was at the end of an enormous abuse by them.

 

[ayushreddevil9]

Also lads, beware that if you say something the coaching staff is gonna get hurt

 

[SeanyC]

His so called safety net of McFred has failed and failed miserably…no cohesion, no runners off the ball, defenders are poor, zonal marking OMG don’t get me started, McKenna consulting FIFA 22 on the IPad…brutal, poor, crap, diabolical…take your pick

 

[Jackal981]

Yeah, when we were winning

SAF goes berserk all the time when the team plays like shit. Dunno what the other guy was watching.
