This.Or fecking 3 years.
The expectation is that we challenge for the title this season. With it set that high you're going to see criticism for Solskjaer rapidly mount whenever we put in abject performances like today.It's trending again.
Honestly, 2 games in.
Fecking 2 games.
Just like Pep had the talent to beat Spurs last week? Or Tuchel had talent to beat Leicester in FA Cup final?I can't blame them really. He's got all the talent in the world to beat Southampton comfortably. Yet he insists on players like Matic and Fred in CM. Ole needs to grow a backbone. This is United not Molde or Cardiff. We play attacking minded players.
It is not trending because one game. It is 3 years now. fecking 3 years.It's trending again.

The people who want him out presumably want him out on the basis of what they have seen in the last three years, not the last two weeks.It's trending again.

The issue here is the mentality teams are set in. If we play a midfield with Pogba, VDB, Fred, Sancho and Bruno then you expect that we'd be playing the game in Southampton's box most of the time. There would be less passing mistakes, more creativity and less pressure on defense. Also Southampton's defense will be aware about how lively Greenwood can be thus they will have to keep an eye on him as well. The system we played encourage Southampton to put pressure on us as Fred will lose the ball while Matic/Martial won't run.I'm sure Van de Beek and Pogba would've offered much more protection
Not sure if serious. It's 2 games into the season - we're ahead of City as wellBecause Nuno's Spurs is ahead of us. Nuno's Spurs should never be ahead of us.
You honestly carry on like a spoilt 5 year girl when it comes to Ole. Grow up.It's trending again.

Off days can happen. FFS my old mate Michael Mifsud made Pique and Evans look silly once. However ask yourself these simple questions. With the talent at our disposal should Matic and Martial have started? I mean everyone apart from Ole knows that the former is finished and the latter is a passenger. Why on earth was Greenwood moved to RW again? Why hasn't Sancho started? What does VDB has to do to frigging play?Just like Pep had the talent to beat Spurs last week? Or Tuchel had talent to beat Leicester in FA Cup final?
I'm fine with people criticizing performances and I think we should've done much better, but analyzing performance on a game by game basis is not a smart way of analyzing things
To be fair, it could be argued that Nuno is a better coach than Ole. Though neither would be at the top of my list if I was choosing a manager to coach a team.Because Nuno's Spurs is ahead of us. Nuno's Spurs should never be ahead of us.
Who's expectation?! Surely not of anyone who knows a thing about football.The expectation is that we challenge for the title this season. With it set that high you're going to see criticism for Solskjaer rapidly mount whenever we put in abject performances like today.
It's almost like you lot think that every single player is 100% match fit at every point of the season, including right after a bad pre season because of covid and Euros.I can't blame them really. He's got all the talent in the world to beat Southampton comfortably. Yet he insists on players like Matic and Fred in CM. Ole needs to grow a backbone. This is United not Molde or Cardiff. We play attacking minded players.
Other players who have moved to rival clubs seem to be doing perfectly fine.It's almost like you lot think that every single player is 100% match fit at every point of the season, including right after a bad pre season because of covid and Euros.
And that noone needs to get comfortable with new teammates and in a new city.
Just start the on paper best team every single match, it works in fifa and FM.
We were on top of the league before this weekend.Because Nuno's Spurs is ahead of us. Nuno's Spurs should never be ahead of us.
Can't believe you still haven't understood Ole. His strategy always has been safety first. Doesn't really matter if they are match fit or not.It's almost like you lot think that every single player is 100% match fit at every point of the season, including right after a bad pre season because of covid and Euros.

Oh comeon. VDB had barely ever been given a sniff throughout the entire season. So its not like its a matter of match fitness. Also I'd rather see us play someone whose not 100% fit then Matic. The guy is more gone then Roy Keane is.It's almost like you lot think that every single player is 100% match fit at every point of the season, including right after a bad pre season because of covid and Euros.

Yep, we looked leggy in in the last 20 minutes which isn’t like us with the amount of late goals we get.It's almost like you lot think that every single player is 100% match fit at every point of the season, including right after a bad pre season because of covid and Euros.

McT wasn't fit enough to start and that's the only reason Matic played.Off days can happen. FFS my old mate Michael Mifsud made Pique and Evans look silly once.

That’s why you never bet on your own team.The main reason I'm pissed today is because United cost me nearly £900 today.
Opportunity cost or did you genuinely lose £900?The main reason I'm pissed today is because United cost me nearly £900 today.
We've got better options then Matic. For example we could have played Pogba in CM or VDB. The Serbian's legs are gone. The only one who seem not acknowledging that is Ole.McT wasn't fit enough to start and that's the only reason Matic played.
Martial, I think shouldn't have started. However he scored in BCD friendly vs Burnley and I'm assuming he would have done something good in training for him to start
Yeah there are always excuses. Just check Sancho thread when people asked about his whereabouts.Other players who have moved to rival clubs seem to be doing perfectly fine.
Really? I would say the broad consensus in media and fan discussions of the upcoming season has been that we should be challenging for a title this season, albeit with the bookies still having us as fourth favourites to actually win the title.Who's expectation?! Surely not of anyone who knows a thing about football.
Hoping that we'll challenge makes sense. Expecting is bizarre.
They know how to defendBecause Nuno's Spurs is ahead of us. Nuno's Spurs should never be ahead of us.
Exactly this. Just look at che, city, pool, they are all comfortable in this department without any issue.Here's my frustration with Ole.
I don't think I've ever seen us play well against a side with a good pressing game. It doesn't matter if it's RBL or Southampton or City or Pool or even Arsenal. It's just whenever there are markers 1:1 high up the pitch, with the ball with the GK, we live dangerously and give away atleast 1-2 turnovers to the pressing team that result in dangerous chances.
It's not even a personnel thing - it doesn't matter if Pogba is in the middle or if it's Fred or if it's McTominay. They receive the ball, get pressured, want to find an open pass, none exists, dwell on the ball for a bit too long, attempt a dangerous pass when none exists and give it away.
I find it unbelievable that amongst McKenna, Carrick and Ole they can't solve the simple, almost set play like situation of the GK having the ball, CBs split wide, DM drop deep and play it out. They can just go direct to Pogba on the left and counter press if we lose the ball but they don't do that either. It's the stubborn insistence that they have to play it out the back coupled with the complete lack of ability to do so that gets us in so much trouble.
You can blame individuals - Fred and Matic have had shit games today, but I don't think we would've done significantly better if we had Jorginho and Kovacic or Rodri and Gundogan.
I'd like VDB to be as good as we all want him to be, but he hasn't really proven that he deserves to play more when he's had the chance.Oh comeon. VDB had barely ever been given a sniff throughout the entire season. So its not like its a matter of match fitness. Also I'd rather see us play someone whose not 100% fit then Matic. The guy is more gone then Roy Keane is.
Well we could of played Pogba in CM but everyone would of said he played well in the last game so why has Ole changed his position. VDB is not a CM, weak on the ball and slower than Matic.We've got better options then Matic. For example we could have played Pogba in CM or VDB. The Serbian's legs are gone. The only one who seem not acknowledging that is Ole.
