    This is a very tricky game today.

    Not too confident if we really start to doubt ourselves out there.

    Form has picked up before break so hope it continues.

    If Sheff United go at us we actually have a decent chance as we are setup well to counter attack.

    Best thing going for us today is they have to use Moore or Verrips since they cant use Henderson. That might unsettle their backline as I dont think they have changed their back 6 at all until now this year and used that back 6 most of last year afaik.

    I think its going to be a difficult afternoon, Sheff Utd will be right up for it could be another Bournemouth/Southampton performance today.

    Hoping against hope for a win today. I just can’t see it though. Sheffield Utd are playing great and getting results to back it up. Our midfield, which is normally a worry with everyone fit is missing players today and I just don’t think we will cope.

    Would really be a great result today if we managed to win.

    Rojo out injured... has been good at center back but out again, cannot be relied on to stay fit, another week and Shaw still missing, he pulled a muscle at the start of September and here we are the last week in November and still no sign of him....If Young starts today ahead of Williams then Ole will deserve the chop when it comes later next month....

    Luke Shaw is a fraud, highest paid full back in the world, always injured and disappoints more often than not. Much rather see Williams given a shot, especially today.

    United ‘lucky’ Henderson is unavailable today, they’ve had an incredible start to the season. Anyone thinking we’ll win comfortably today is delusional, they’re a plucky side with a few good results so far and United have no midfield.

    Do well to draw. 1-1 for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,404 ✭✭✭✭StringerBell


    Shaw is the highest paid full back in the world? You sure about that?

    What if ole stepped down ( paid off a bit) and was given the dof role ( his signings this summer have been the best in a long time) and we signed poch?

    His signings this summer weren't exactly picking unknowns.
    Overpaid for two defenders and picked up a good winger who probably wasnt expected to get as much time as he has.
    United are 10th in the league and people are happy with Ole.The standards really have dropped.
    The squad is in an absolute ****e, Ole gutted the midfield and attack and no replacements in.A injuries away from being ****ed.

    Jose wanted Maguire and Woodward vetoed it.
    AWB was one of the top full backs in the league last year.
    Giggs personally recommended James.

    So anyone who thinks Ole pulled off a master stroke by signing them is mistaken.
    Now we have a change in tune regards the January window from targeting signings to waiting until the Summer. Of course it's hard to get value in January but there's options out there to fill gaps in the squad without having to go for galacticos.
    Mandzukic is reported to have lowered his wage demands to get a move and he'd give us a plan B up front if the counter attack style isn't working against teams who sit in. He might not be a popular signing but he has experience and will come cheap instead of depending on Haaland who may not even want to join.

    I hope we lose our next 3 games, including at home to Spurs/Jose. Ole will go then, and Poch should be hired asap. Let his first game be against City :)

    Jaysis.

    As regards to signings, he can’t be flogged for not having cover having a light squad and then flogged because somebody else does the signings.

    It seems people just don’t like club legend ole. I wonder were they fans when he played or are they newcomers to football.

    Maybe they just want to keep sacking managers and have no love of United at all.

    Anyone who wants to see their team lose needs to have a talk to themselves.

    It’s posts like this that make me question your motives in here.

    I would hazard a reasonable guess that very few, if any, united fans have any ill Will towards Ole and would love nothing better then him to work out. The issue, as has been pointed out numerous times, is that people correctly it ask whether him being a legend overrides a common sense approach to judging managers on their CV (that gives hope they have the competency to do their job) and what they have done in their job to date.

    Neither looks Particularly impressive for Ole so only a very misguided fan or somebody with mentally challenged alternative motives would argue “we can’t keep sacking managers” as a primary reason for retaining a manager.

    If Ole does fail I want it to be terrible, not because I want him to fail but because I’m concerned they just keep papering over the cracks again and again and again. I thought things would have to change after the Jose debacle but they have just kept throwing sh*t at the wall and nobody has really batted an eyelid.

    We might not be able to force the owners to sell up but the club in turmoil is more likely to see some sort of change of tactic (even Woodward sacked and a DOF with some authority) then the club plodding along between 10th-4th. I really don’t think the owners give a sh*t about what’s going on as long the club retains a couple of billion value. Maybe if the issue got bad enough they would f**k off.

    People dont like Ole ,what rubbish.
    imo the only reason he got the gig to begin with and has held onto it this long is the universal love the fans have for Ole .He is a club legend but that forsnt mean he is good enough for the job.

    How will that work exactly?

    3 at the back, 2 wingbacks.......2 midfielders and 3 in attack?

    Good to see Egan didn't make it so that's two out of the back six that have changed.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,005 ✭✭✭BDI


    Could be Jones in midfield here.

    I love Ole but i love United more and i want what is best for the club. Ole should never have been hired full time but that's not his fault: i hope he gets a massive settlement to walk away, but we need Pochettino now before he gets tied up elsewhere. Who else has the pedigree in English football thay he has, and is available? Spurs performances and league finishes (on a fraction of what United, City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool spent) have to be credited to Poch. Now there are so many players at Spurs with no contracts and no new recruits; he was fcuked by Levy and had to leave. A golden opportunity for us to get him now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,479 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    For a super sub he makes terrible tactical substitutions, player politics agents Woodward and more importantly the actual pressure to live up to expectations must take a terrible toll lately the results have been hard to take Newcastle particularly would Pogba and (insert player from Lukaku funds) have made a difference but Ole can't be blamed if players are out or not recruited can he...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,005 ✭✭✭BDI


    It’s so selective, all poch s good points are his and bad points are Levy, yet all oles bad points are his and good points were giggs and Woodward and jose.

    You need to pick another team my friend and shut the door on your way out .. ....

    I for one hope Ole can get a good run going because I'm a fan and always will be.

    Go on united today!!!!!!!
