I was at the match so have only just seen him grinning right near the end, thanks to Twitter. Awful way for any United manager to behave after a poor game and a string of mediocre results.
I can't pick any one of them on that pitch today who put in a decent performance. We're in trouble. I think we're likely to get a battering from either Liverpool or City, or both. The atmosphere in my bit of the ground started off optimistic but by 60 minutes supporters round me were getting frustrated. If he stays, can any of you realistically see how we can improve from here? |

We make things very complicated and yet we can’t do simple things. Look at the goal. It’s a good ball from Greenwood but it works because we spread the play. Quickly. Then a ball out wide again. Quickly. Then Everton have a problem. We so often don’t do this. We’re always trying to engineer chances in little pockets of space, with tight, needlessly intricate play. That, or we go to the other extreme and just move the ball across the pitch with no urgency or progression. We’re terrible without the ball and not much better with it. it’s not getting any better either. These are the kinds of displays I’d expect from a talented teams whose manager hasn’t been there long enough to get his message across. This is Ole’s third full season and we look no more cohesive. Personnel and team sprit has improved, but we don’t look any better coached. He keeps saying it’s ‘things we need to work on’. Then work on it. Get better at it. The goal against Newcastle was something to work on. Then it happened again today…. Still working on it, then? The solution seems to be freshening things up and personnel changes from the bench. That’s it. That’s our plan. We gain no momentum from spirited wins either because it’s not an issue of needing some confidence or a kick start. There’s nothing to kick start. It’s not a group of players that just can’t quite get it right. It’s a group of players who look like they don’t know what to do. These performances aren’t anomalies either. This has been us all season and for a lot of last season. We are the sum of what we do. And what we do is becoming increasingly average. Today Villa West ham x 2 Wolves Southampton Young boys All draws or won by the odd goal either way. All quite close games. They shouldn’t be. We should be overwhelming teams like that with our talent. Everton were well worth their point today and were missing their front two. Wolves lost their first three games and should have taken something off us. The way we play levels the playing field. He came out again today and said he trusts his staff and believes well get it right. We need more than belief, Ole. You’ve installed a good spirit, got some better players and some winners…. But now we need you to do YOUR job and be a coach. I don’t see how it gets any better. I really don’t. |

I think McTominnay went a bit missing and wasn’t getting into spaces and asking for the ball anywhere near as much as he he should have. He rarely got stuck in. That’s our midfield. |

The midfield. That £#%&!ing midfield. Just diabolical. Can’t defend, can’t keep the ball, can’t get the ball forwards in any way, shape or form.
I complained about it last year, but nearly every pass is wrong; underhit, overhit, just in front, just behind, in the £#%&!ing throat, at the wrong angle to make use of the space. Every £#%&!ing time. There was a period at the end of the 1st half where Greenwood had to stretch to reel in 3 passes on the spin that were simple on the face of it, but just too much for our £#%&!tards. He ended up having to have too many touches to do anything other than lose it or roll it back to the full back. It’s all the £#%&!ing time. Say what you like about the manager, but some of these £#%&!ers can’t even do the £#%&!ing basics right. |
