All those here he consistently attacked Lukaku for his "lack of" ball control - have you spotted Martial yet? When is a someone at the club admit we cannot play him and rashford - neither come close to our great goal scorers of recent times. Couple of balls in from Shaw and Donny - and not a single attacker busting a gut (or even breaking sweat) to get into the area.
Of course they weren't the only poor performers. Someone tell me again why Pogba is world class. Sorry, but winning a world cup doesn't count. Teams win World Cups. Even feckin Barthez won one because of those in front of him. Meanwhile, Donny is played - well, actually I have no idea where he was told to play. Does Ole just say: "go out and win, please"?
The real problem is that - putting aside an occasional good performance and good result - we have been utter shite from the day Ole got the job full time. He's not up to it (and I said that one day one; it was just obvious), has no idea about a balanced team or what do do when things go wrong. Possibly worse, he isn't strong enough to convince the board to give him the players he wants/needs.
Of course, no one can mandate against the ridiculous defending in Turkey, but don't tell me great United teams of the past couldn't have given that lot a two (possibly three) goal start and gone on to win. Don't tell me SAF wouldn't have hauled off five players (including seeming "untouchables") and threatened to never play them again.
Performances wise: did anyone deserve more than 3/10? No. But the rot flows down from the top and is threatening to destroy the club. We need a stronger manager and we need better scouting and recruitment
