    We haven’t even played terribly and Atalanta haven’t even been that good. It’s just we’re so amateur it hurts. Conceding from corners, useless at corners. Simple team passages of play they manage with ease and our multi-million pound footballers can’t manage.
     
    I always know it's beyond repair when I stop getting angry that we are losing.

    It's just hilariously sad now

    Same as under Jose.

    Hard to be angry when you know for a fact it's never going to work
     
    Everything feels like shit. We're basically back to the last days of LVG and Mourinho.

    Players are shot in confidence, teams outplay us and fans don't care anymore. The atmosphere is so flat and it tells you all you need to know.

    We're in the endgame now regarding Ole's future. Any win now will be like that 3-2 Newcastle win under Mourinho, just delaying the inevitable.

    He has to work with what he has, and he's playing them in their best positions. Shocking is a bit much isn't it? The idea is that McFred provides a solid base in midfield and let our forwards attack freely. Last time starting Pogba Matic away to Leicester was suicide.

    See what I meant now? Too direct. Greenwood & Rashford don't pass. Our attacks last 5 seconds & then we've rushed out a speculative shot or pass & we're immediately back on the defensive again. It was so obvious before the game to me, just some prick on a forum, so why can't Ole see it?
     
    Bruno off, VDB on. But will most likely be Lingard.
    Rashford off Sancho on.
    Maguire off anyone else on, Id take Phil Jones

    the mad thing is on another night this should be 4-2.

    we haven’t actually played badly but we can’t seem to defend for anything these days

    Fred has been good. His energy moves us up the pitch a lot faster. Weird game. Could easily be 3-3. Entertaining for the ABU neutral. Find our shooting boots early and I reckon we could win or have it finish 3-3.

    Boos ring out at half time. Getting to end of days for Ole…

    You'll still find people in his performance thread moaning because he doesn't have 100% pass accuracy.
    Wasteful when we have created chances and woeful defensively tonight.
     
    We are all over the fecking place. Ole could have any player in the world in his team and he would turn him to shite. Just no fecking clue and you can clearly see the players don’t know what they are doing either. No runs, no movement, no fecking clue. Atalanta are having a stroll, much like Villarreal and most teams we face. What the actual hell do we need to do for this fraudster to leave. Absolute fuming.
     
    Just get over with it and sack him before Sunday so the players get a fresh boost.

    So done with him. Don’t even feel anything anymore.

    WTF is actually wrong with Ole?? We are 2-0 down at half time and he is walking into the tunnel clapping?!?

    Does he have mental problems?

    What would you prefer?
    Him doing loads of swears at everyone?

    Don't agree, he has been decent. He's trying at least

    How has he been decent? Slipped on his ass with his best chance and waved his arms around in frustration at everything else. Might I add the same body language from him every single week recently. He’s part of the team so he’s just as much to blame for our awful form as anyone.
     
    Ole in his post-match interview : “Well, if the Rashford and Fred efforts had gone in, we would have had a proper go for all 3 points. Football is a game of fine lines. We move on and hope them boys give a good fight against Liverpool”
     
    Fred has had a couple of decent chances and that was a solid opportunity at the end there for Rashford, but overall we've been shambolic.

    These chances falling to Fred though, why ???

    Because we play random football, we create chances mostly on individual effort and not based on some attacking tactics.

    Yep, we need a big morale boost.
    Maybe gets an ex loved player in as caretaker manager or something...
     
    I don't know if Ole realises this, but in order to appease his mate Gaz Nev in the media he actually has to finish third in the group to be able to win the EL and keep his job.
     
    We are not playing badly
    It just seems we can’t defend anymore
    Harry was rushed back too quickly
    Now we can’t finish as well..that’s what pressure does…
     
    Game’s clearly not over, a quick goal after halftime and we’ll probably go on to win it.
     
    In any other context that was a blistering first half in which we were unlucky.

    But christ, we can't keep letting goals in like this. It's ridiculous.
