If as expected we lose to city at the weekend then our season is in danger of blowing up in Ole’s face
He’s got to be very careful as finishing outside the top 4 will be unacceptable and should see him removed from his position We’re currently sleepwalking into this and Ole doesn’t seem to have any answer to it |

West Ham (h) Brighton (h) Spurs (a) Burnley (h) Leeds (a) Liverpool (h) Villa (a) Leicester (h) Fulham (h) Wolves (a) Go deep into the europa and semis/final of fa cup and it gets trickier. I don't think top 4 is locked in to be honest. |

Our bad period has seen a lot of draws. You have to see that as progress. Not good enough to challenge the freak Liverpool and City sides of recent seasons but that’s to be expected. |

City's run is exaggerating our bad form a little bit. Not much but a little. What is that now - 20 wins in a row?
But still, these are the games here for me Ole shows his weaknesses. Games that just slowly slip away with little to no intervention from Ole in terms of tactics or subs. What was said at half time? Keep going lads? If we laud Ole on the good days, we owe it to hold our hands up in matches like this (and Chelsea and at least half a dozen more this season) and accept that it's very poor. Four draws in the last five PL games is not progress for me, particularly given the opposition. |

I keep going back to tactics and formation. He’s got no plan b, can’t mix things up, doesn’t mix things up and he’s not getting the beat out of the front 3. Yes we’re top scorers in the league but when you consider 15 of those goals came in 2 games against teams who had a nightmare then it balances out more. Have we improved this season would you say? Are we better coaches or better performing? Our results suggest slightly but our performances suggest absolutely not. |

Feels poor atm. We’re lacking inspiration and ole needs to be more dynamic in his subs. I would have thrown the kitchen sink at winning that game last night and we seemed to settle for a draw. Too many players out of sorts which points to them being flogged too hard but also uninspired.
I think we conceded the league in January and it’s been difficult ever since. City’s form has demoralised us. The manager needs to motivate and inspire at this point or we could sink fast. |

On city, I think everyone has accepted the inevitable, including the teams they play against. saying that, they do also have a very good team. |

We’ve massively missed Pogba- anyone who can create a moment tbh. |

We have failed to scored in 26% of our league games this season. In 52% of games we have failed to score more than 1. 38% of our goals came in three games (Newcastle, Leeds and Southampton). The attackers aren't good enough. The midfielder isn't creative enough (he doesn't help by playing 2 defensive minded players). He has developed no visible strategy for breaking down sides who just drop deep. It's no surprise someone like Hodgson has taken 4 points off us. A vastly experienced coach who must feel like his Christmas has come facing this Utd side. |
