    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
     
    I do enjoy how you are on first name terms with everyone, bar Henderson, Mata and Cavani. Fair enough, Henderson and Cavani but Mata has been around for a long time now. Get to know him, put yourself out there. By all accounts he’s an absolute gentleman and you might even get a hug out of it.
    haha.. sorry.. got carried away.. He's a lovely person and I've heard so many good things about him..
     
    Lets not lose our heads here. These things happen, we have the group in the bag basically already. On to the next thing.
    I hope this is sarcasm.
    Both Leipzig and us have 6 points, while PSG are only trailing by 3 points.

    If we lose in Leipzig and against PSG - not a really far-fetched scenario at all - then we're basically out.

    This was a very important game, a chance to basically secure a spot in the knockout rounds, and the boys blew it.

    Zidane literally just lost at home and drew away in the CL and is still in the job.

    This is hyperbole.
    Zidane won 2 league titles and 3 CLs for them. Despite all that he's still been questioned recently up until the Clasico win two weeks ago.
     
    That was utterly bad. We're so damn slow with the ball and we don't have a pattern of doing things and that's been my complaint under Moyes, LvG, Jose and now Ole. Why aren't these managers actually pushing these players to play a certain way. We all feel Ole has the option of changing formation and the team every week, what we actually don't comprehend is that a team gels together only if they play a certain formation and more together week in week out. There is no cohesion in this team and it's the most boring football ever. I had to watch the Barca game against Dynamo Kiev to make myself feel better but it didn't really help. The Barca team isn't doing that great either. I don't know where this all goes from here. We might win the match at Everton this weekend but it will certainly not prove anything to me because we almost always show up against big teams. We need better players for sure and a proper system. Oh God I'm such a huge fan of Man United but it's getting harder by the day.
