Surely that's a bit myopic. Lingard has now become the newest in a list of strawplayers following in the footsteps of Rooney, Fellaini and Young who some fans like to blame for all of our ills.
Unified because the players rule the roost? They certainly don't play with any cohesion or look like they play under any pressure that is for sure.
Thats because other managers demanded performance from the players, Ole just keeps making excuses to justify the poor performances calling them “kids” “its normal to have inconsistency we’ll be better” yesterday the high five to Lingard sums it up. He’s happy with the current performance even Lingard’s.
So we are stuck with Ole until the Saudi's buy Man Utd. It might never happen. That's a great plan going forward.
Pereira isnt great but has been playing alright the last few games. He managed a great assist against Burnley and somehow Lingard started this game. Unfair towards Pereira and when Pereira came on he did better than Lingard. Pereira atleast looked like he played for United while Lingard was Arsenal their best defender. Ole started the wrong player and that is a mistake.
Did you actually watch them vs Chelsea ?
Did you watch us vs Chelsea? It's too small a sample size to judge anything from.
Please understand difference between results and style of play and then reply.
You were good vs Chelsea until tiring. And could see it coming through. It takes 2-3 months
By "us", I meant United. We've beaten them twice this season with a very effective style of play.
You're very correct mate. Funny thing is if you make a thread like that not one person will say keep unless sacarstically. But somehow the main focus is the manager. Woodward doesn't hire managers, he hires scape goats.
I did and both were poor and they were poor vs B'mouth as well
We could have been 3-0 down before scoring in the first match. 4-0 was massively flattering.
You don't keep a manager because you fear starting over again. Clubs hire and fire managers until they find the right one.
Is our squad worse than the teams we constantly lose to or draw at home against? Absolutely not. In which case it's clearly the manager!
What are you smoking? Can't you see he is improving the culture and our "philosophy"?
Do you remember how we played the first month with Ole? Reality check, Arsenal will go back to normal in a couple months.
The biggest fallacy in that point is Klopp, Pep and even to a certain degree Pellegrini were proven top level managers who had already proven earlier in their careers that with some top players, they can get the team to be better than the sum of the parts by getting average players to play their best every single time. So you could say they struggled a season because they didn't have the right players available.
Be careful too much wisdom for some to perceive.
I do not think even they will hire him now. They are doing alright without him.
That is not a reason to stick with a manager that is not good enough. You’re just delaying the inevitable.
"How can you criticise Ole without giving him time to sign a new left back and another centreback? He can't possibly implement his high-level defensive coaching on a back four that includes players he didn't sign. How dare you expect Ole to be successful with players in the squad he didn't bring in himself. He just needs another x transfer windows and pre seasons to get the players properly coached and up to the required fitness levels"
It sounds farcical but there are so many limp-brained people who actually think along those lines.Are you sure one transfer window is enough? He says this season is getting the right squad for next season. So next season it will be getting the right squad for the following season. So it goes on. He could sell Maguire, James and AWB and still people would say he needs time to get a CB, a winger and a right back."How can you criticise Ole without giving him time to sign a new left back and another centreback?

You realise they would appoint his replacement though?
