I think we’re entitled to feel slightly underwhelmed

spot on

For me his entire 6 month tenure was just squeezing the last £#%&!ing breaths out of a dead season. Had no idea who the £#%&!ing bloke was anyway and i have no expectations of him at all.

For me, the £#%&!ing season died the minute we allowed those £#%&!ers to run in 5 goals at Old Trafford and barely even registered a whimper in response. Everything since has been kicking a corpse.

If he somehow manages to steer this bunch of dysfunctional crybabies through the rest of the season without them being roundly humiliated by every single decent team they face, which is what was happening under the previous regime, then fair enough. He can then £#%&! off upstairs and his assembled bunch of yank sidemen can piss off back over the atlantic to the Michigan Manglers or wherever they came from.

Klopp came in at liverpool when they were 10th and finished the season 8th.

Unless the circumstances are extreme (death/illness/crime etc..) any business appointing an interim or stop-gap leader is demonstrating that it's a shambles.

We haven’t lost 5-0 under Rangnick

Nah Ole had to go regardless of a great plan for me. It had become uncomfortable .

And unfortunately quite the opposite for too many in the squad. Clearly not earning their wages. Absolutely shambolic.

How is us coming from behind a lot last season being used as a negative, when compared to us dropping points after going ahead in 5 out of the 12 games we've taken the lead under Rangnick?

I know which trait I'd rather we had.

Both show a slightly inept game plan tbf but RR’s clearly the more disappointing. As a supporter, Ole’s come backs were ace - overcoming a losing position right at the end is the most exciting thing that can happen in football. It’s just that successful teams aren’t built that way. Anymore.

I’m not totally down on Ralph - my expectations were so low to begin with. But, he and it have been disappointing so far.

I do think it will get better but if united put him forward as the permanent manager then they want £#%&!ing shooting. In fact, just shoot them anyway.

Yeah but that was only because of individual brilliance and nothing more. Could do with a bit of that now tbh...

I didn't make it up are you saying the comment you left isn't exactly what I quoted? I could post a screenshot but it'd be pointless. And i didn't threaten you.

What a masterclass in coaching at one of the toughest grounds to visit. In really unforgiving conditions aswell.

He needs to bin Shaw asap tho.

Got the starting 11 right and subs were spot on tbf. Lovely bit of class having a moment with James when it started kicking off too

That fat mess should be the first out the door in the summer.

Careful, some people were slagging him off before Fred and elanga came on
I’ve said this before , he is doing the job with one hand tied behind his back. It’s an impossible role, the squad is full of @#%&!s , the squad is full of players not good enough, the board don’t want to back and he gets undermined ( martial lingard )

Even the mistakes when we concede or draw 90% of them are stupid individual mistakes which. No amount of tactics can amount to.

If players don’t follow your order what can you do
