I think some people have lost the ability to take any joy from football. Getting excited about beating one of our biggest rivals, while managed by a club legend who clearly loves the club. Having a new signing who has lifted the whole squad and seeing homegrown local players coming through and having a major role in massive matches.

But apparently making fun of the people who wanted the manager sacked in September, despite us now being on track for what most people would have considered our targets back in August (Champions League qualfication and runs in the cup), and enjoying a positive atmostphere around the club is too extreme a reaction. From people who called for our manager to leave 10 games into the season.

Or in this case, THREE GAMES into the season:

The same person is now talking about "hyperbole" and telling United fans to "take it one game at a time".

Yeah, but the possession stats mate....

Good god...people acting like we MEANT to have that little. We would have liked to retain possession for longer, I'm sure.

Absolute side stat though.

We were better. More shots, more goals, just better.

Double over them, huuuuge £#%&!ing goons. Enjoy it

I'm still buzzing tbh.

Fine this season but playing out from the back under pressure is something Ole needs to improve

We never had that little of the ball against Wenger’s Arsenal under Fergie even if we played counter attack
correct i should not put arsenal in the same bracket as a pep team here is the stats from the champs league final fergie vs pep

Barcelona Team Statistics Manchester United
3 Goals 1
1 1st Half Goals 1
12 Shots on Target 1
4 Shots off Target 2
6 Blocked Shots 1
6 Corners 0
5 Fouls 16
1 Offsides 5
2 Yellow Cards 2
0 Red Cards 0
89.6 Passing Success 79.6
15 Tackles 23
73.3 Tackles Success 73.9
[SIZE="7"]68.4 Possession 31.6
54.7 Territorial Advantage 45.3

are you ok with 31.6 vs 28?

No
I don’t get it, why are you posting stats from a game we were completely outplayed in and was one of the low points of Fergie’s reign

Of course that wasn’t acceptable as we all agreed at time
We hoped we could learn from it but we never did learn to keep the ball when pressed

People who are saying he’s got us going in the right direction were saying he should walk less than a month ago because he wouldn’t get anything out of the owners glad to see the protest still going strong.

Two potential candidates to replace Ole mentioned there, 'Anybody' and 'I honestly couldn’t give a £#%&!'

But yes, we should 'take each game as it comes'. Really.

Yet you use an example of a team that had the majority of possession and used it to control the game and smash us

Yes of course it matters what you do with the possession but you can’t do anything if you don’t have the ball

There is a reason the best sides over the last 10 years have all been good at playing the ball out from the back and wanted to dominate the game
We’re not going to be successful long term with only 28% of the ball against very good teams

Tbf Keith has been steadfast from the off. Never once seen him say definitively Ole is the right guy, just that we MUST give him a fair crack.

What about people who are technically older, but think and act like a 12 year old?
