I can assure you there was less of an obvious plan during the 1st two years of Fergie’s tenure than there is now. The point is managers need time and 6 matches into a new season and two years down the track isn’t long at all. Too long for the Goldbridge generation obviously. |

Thankfully, I remind myself that it’s mainly sparky, windy and Tronics that are pushing this approach. People who rarely set foot in the ground and don’t have any real connection with the club. Post 99 lads basically who live in the south and ‘really really wanted to support the very most successful team’ which just so happened to be united when they were younger. All three of them would be Liverpool fans if they were younger versions of themselves now. 100% I’ll worry when people I respect start thinking that way. |

My point is it runs deeper than Ole. Do you think United will get out of this group of death in Europe pal? Quote:
Ask them why they support Utd and they give you some shite about their great uncle supporting United after Munich. |

I think Ole got it badly wrong today.
He should have played his normal 4-2-1-3 formation with Fred and The Scottish Player in their normal positions, instead of sticking to the diamond off the back of one game. Diamonds are for never, IMO, not so different from doughnuts. Anyway, his substitutions were very poor as well. I find it hard to fathom taking Bruno off and leaving Pogba on, but then I find it hard to fathom Pogba having anything to do with our first team squad at all. There has to be something going on there - has to be. There's no way he is getting picked for football reasons. It's not the first £#%&!-up Ole has made but they have been few and far between and this has been a rare big game defeat for him. People quickly forget the 5 and a half years prior to his appointment. We were generally very poor and very hard to watch in those years. Ole's team are a big step up from that. The progression in the team from the beginning of last season is plain to see. People make conclusions after every game nowadays - only last week, Mark Lawrenson was on about the possibility of Everton being title contenders, for £#%&! sake. The utter idiocy of it. Maybe calm the £#%&! down and see how things are at Christmas time, yeah. In the 90's people used to laugh and shake their heads at how mad it was in Serie A - managers getting sacked every 5 minutes. It's now far worse here than Serie A ever was. There is so much scrutiny and analysis of every single game and somehow it must all add up to an overall status - and each new result impacts that status - it's utter %@#$&!s. The state of the nation is updated on a weekly basis. Might as well analyse every throw in and add them up - and there's this constant need to find patterns and read meanings into them - 10 goals conceded against teams starting with the letter "b" - £#%&! off, you utter @#%&!s. Off the top of my head, I can think of 5 podcasts that will have reports of this game tomorrow - that's a lot of talk about not so much content - I would venture that a lot of that talk will be hot air [I'll probably listen to all of them because I'm a stupid @#%&! and my desire for vengeance is strong]. Note to self: interesting movie title - "Avenger Without a Cause" - I've met a few lads that would fit that description. We've played 10 games this season, won 6, drawn 1 and lost 3. Whilst it was not a factor against Chelsea or Arsenal, our players were nowhere near match-fit for the first 5 games. That is not a terrible record. It just isn't. It certainly should not lead to questions about the manager's future. That such questions should arise anyway is ridiculous. Wise up. IMO, there are 2 concerns about the match against Arsenal. One is why the £#%&! is Pogba being selected at all? Is there a stipulation that he must play? Massive problem if so, massive mistake by Ole if not. The other thing to worry about is the drop off in performance from the CL matches and the league ones. What Ole and Maguire hinted at about patting themselves on the back a bit too much rings true to me - That smacks of a mid-table mentality. It has to be sorted and it's up to all of them to do that. Ole and coaching staff should've already been watching out for that making sure it doesn't happen, tbf. By the way, there are things to be postive about as well. Our front 4 is £#%&!ing fantastic - I honestly don't understand how anyone cannot be excited by them. Well, Ole assembled that front 4 - Rashford and Martial where on the road to nowhere before he arrived, he gave Greenwood his head (would never have happened under the last man) and he bought Fernandes, already one of the best players in the league. They even play quite well together. Ole's first choice eleven aren't bad: De Gea, WB, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, McT, Fred, Fernandes, Greenwood, Martial, Rashford. If we upgrade Fred, Lindelof and Shaw, and maybe sign a class right-winger at some point we will have a very fine side. If Tuanzebe and Telles successfully replace Lindelof and Shaw, that's 50% of the job. Calm, Bull. |

The issue I guess is whether you think progress is being made or not. I think it clearly is, you don’t. I think yesterday’s defeat is on ole - wrong set up and shite substitutions. My response is a recognition that that needs to improve and change - yours is ‘this isn’t working, sack him’. |
