    Sure, Garner too but will never get games over the stiff.
    Ole will rather play Chong than Gomes though.

    Sad part is that we hardly played any of the tough teams yet. Our schedule has been relatively easy so far and yet here we are, with 2 Ls already. It's a scary thought of where we could be in November with some really tough tests on the horizon, starting with Arsenal next Monday.

    The box for my direct tv took a shit this morning and I couldn't watch the game. I'm not religious, but that's some divine intervention shit right there.

    I honestly don't know what Ole thinks. And I don't even know if it matters at this point.

    I've been supporting this club for 28 years and I can honestly say I've never seen a manager this bad. Yea Fergie was around for most of them but my statement still stands

    If we're honest, quality-wise this team is at-best 4th when everyone is healthy. Without Pogba, Martial, Shaw we are 7th or 8th. And we're performing accordingly here.

    I mean, I know it's disappointing, but what do we have to lose at this point? Tank and finish mid table. Maybe we'll actually get rid of Ed. Maybe things will actually change.

    If you get to watch their first goal again watch Matic & McT.

    Matic at LCM is deep, static and ball-watching the 2v2 on the wing, Noble runs into the LCM (Matic) area and McT runs towards him and points him out to Matic (probably shouted something too - like your side).

    Matic then neither gets tight or follows him after.

    Sure, other issues with the goal too, but bottom line Matic hurt us before in a midfield 3 because of his various issues. In a midfield 2 he is an even greater liability.

    Averaging 1pt/game in that timespan as well. This is relegation type form... Plus we still haven't won an away game since our win in Paris last March.

    play kids in the league and focus on UEL. second biggest prize in Europe and we'll get UCL if we can somehow manage it.

    i know it's early and i do like what Solskjær is doing but the numbers and quality are short any way you slice it.

    we got rid of a fair bit of the fat but the quality replacements never arrived. i don't think they will for a while either. clearly a limited budget.

    what makes no sense is that all these commercial deals and partnerships SHOULD fully cover our transfers easily. based on our recent net spend the Adidas deal alone does that. so why the low net spend? arresting the explosion of wages of course but why the spending? plenty of profits regardless.

    essentially we're hoping for new owners at this point who will in turn cleanse the management structure. it doesn't make for good reading jut it is what it is

    If you watched any of the games towards the end of Jose or LvGs tenure, then you’ve already seen this game.

    Need to bring in McKinsey consultants at this rate to fix this soup sandwich.


    Delusional Ole. Come on man, have some honor, just tell the truth and be real about it. Since the PSG game, we have played 19, won 4, drawn 5, and lost 10. At what top club would this be acceptable? Even those wins have been skin of the teeth 1-0 games.

    and what exactly do you expect him to say?

    the group isn't good enough? didn't José batter them enough? it's not even so much about them being mentally weak which a lot are but the squad needs all the help they can get. sometimes i don't think people understand what he's been left with. a colossal 7 year transfer mess and having castaway players on loan and players 4th or 5th on the depth chart that are now regular starters. plus a bunch of inexperienced and non-proactive players.

    anyone hoping or expecting for him to come out and bash the Glazers and Woodward or criticise the players is an idiot. i'm as frustrated as everyone else but given the situation what good would it do? tell everyone what they already know? or do folks really think he is that dumb that he can't see it? i'm sure he will let the players know what's up. what he is doing is classic Fergie and he is a disciple. i know he gets blamed for the transfer window too but clearly we know Woodward and maybe the Glazers have blocked transfers and have tightened the purse strings.

    criticise him for Angel Gomes at 78 mins, Rashford playing at Astana, no Fred or 4-2-3-1 but can anyone say with any certainty we wouldn't have lost anyway with 4-3-3? if Rashford plays the 90? if Fred plays the 90?

    why some fans feel this way? dunno. don't get it. you can't expect from people what they don't have and this squad doesn't have it

    it's a shame he is the scapegoat for a lot of the sins of others
