I like our direction better but no doubt the coaching/management is worse. And it wasn't even good enough under Mourinho.
We were never this bad though. As Sir Alex used to say the EPL table doesn't lieShit was a regular thing with the club before Ole. Jose spent a fortune more and served up the same shite.
Indeed.We were never this bad though. As Sir Alex used to say the EPL table doesn't lie
Absolutely nailed it.Never mind the huge fecking middle ground between that and how we’re actually playing.
Buying players not suited to play any form of possession-based, high-pressing football? How can you like our direction when we continue to fill our squad with players that are best suited to a low block counter-attacking football? A style that will not win or make you competitive over time, other than the odd game against teams willing to attack.I like our direction better but no doubt the coaching/management is worse.

Matic and Lukaku quit on him?People are just making shit up here because they hate Jose and loves Ole. Put the emotions aside and take a look at the drivel that our team serve up every week. Jose's team only looked like shit when the players quit on him. Ole's team is completely shit right now even when everyone is backing him, especially once his "philosophy" takes place. The only reason our team played well when he was a caretaker was because he has no time to implement his tactics yet and we are playing on the back of Jose's foundation, with the players actually putting in effort and in a much positive mindset. Once it's all gone we hardly looked like a top half team. Results don't lie.
Stop talking useless crap like our injuries and all that, as if Jose's worst run has the whole team available for selection. And this is for a run of shit games stretching more than 20 games. So much excuses for a mediocre manager. I get the romanticism and stuff but please come back to reality.
Spot the season we had the strongest squad.Best
1. Mou 16/17
2. Caretaker Ole 18/19

Rubbish
Spot the season we have one of the worst managers in club's history.Spot the season we had the strongest squad.
Correct. Appointing Ole in the first place must have been an emotional decision. Making it permanent had a small amount of logic based upon the results up to that point.It is a worse and it's not really surprising, we somehow replaced Mourinho with a worse manager that had no positive track record.
I like the focus on younger players. And Maguire is suited to modern football. You need not be rapid to play in a possession based side - see Pique. However on nearly every other count, and the ones that truly matter, Ole has been a complete disaster.Buying players not suited to play any form of possession-based, high-pressing football?

What an absurd excuse.No what I’m saying is at the moment it’s about results.
Once he has a chance to implement his players and a few more hopefully then you can see a style of play.
None of the preceding 3 clowns came in midway through a season to pick up a shitshow remember. They all got full windows and a lot more time apart from the chosen one.
Yeah let’s count the caretaker windowWhat an absurd excuse.
Ole has overseen two transfer windows. Elected not to sign anyone last January and then chose to sell his only reliable goalscorer and focus on an area of the pitch we were heavily stocked. The only player we signed in the summer we desperately needed was AWB.
For all his talk of the "United Way", this is the most un-United side I've ever seen. He is undoubtedly the most defensive coach we've had since SAF and has displayed no consistent style or strategy. The excuse of players being missing is just that, an excuse. He's been here now the best part of a year and we see no signs of improvement, infact we seem to be regressing more than ever.
Blind optimism is all you seen to have because you give no real reasons why Ole should be afforded time that previous, more experienced managers were offered.
Why not count that window? He made statements that signings could be made.Yeah let’s count the caretaker window
This window has been positive if you can’t see that your just blind to anything positive about what he has done.
We did, but they were more of the 'exception' rather than the rule. Now it's vice versa where when we have a good game it's the 'exception'.I'd say it's about par. We had some real stinkers under Jose too.
The bolded says it all for you, regardless of the odd bad performance. We won't be winning it this season when we can't get a shot on target that is for sure.More pro-Mourinho revisionist nonsense.
The serial winner lost his first game in Europa and when grinding past the likes of Zorya 1-0 at home in the group stages with a full strength line up and bench. I was at that game and it was one of the worst matches I’ve ever seen.
after 3 matches we were one point worse off than we are right now, with two of those games coming at home.
Yes we won it in the end, but we were dire on the way there.
The caf and twitter need to get over this man crush.
The main difference was Ibrahimovic, and Pogba fit and flying.The bolded says it all for you, regardless of the odd bad performance. We won't be winning it this season when we can't get a shot on target that is for sure.
And I say that as someone who thought Jose did need to go.
Maybe there would be. But then again we play with absolutely no direction or tactics so we might of experienced the same issues. Also Ole being a yes man was happy to sell our experienced players without replacing them. Therefore he is stuck with what he has. Jose wouldn't of stood for that (hence alot of his frustrations last season).The main difference was Ibrahimovic, and Pogba fit and flying.
Add those 2 into this team and there would be a big difference IMO.
Agreed. With regards to Europa I remember us deploying with our 1st team, comprising of overpaid mercs that got through playing rubbish.More pro-Mourinho revisionist nonsense.

Comfortably worse. But unlike Mourinho, Ole is not going to sabotage the team for whatever egoistical reason that may be.
