I wish i could be as wide eyed and optimistic. Ole should change it but wont. He should kick butts but will drivel on about the positives and the players will do their own thing as usual.

He also won’t have a clue what their role is when they go on the pitch. Pogba, show a bit of magic lad, Edi chase them down. Can just imagine it. Jesse lad, go score a worldie.
but by making the run, he has the momentum (see their second goal). if you man mark, you go with your manGet Edi on for feck sake, he’ll force chances for the team and take them if they come his way.
Rashford has looked dangerous.
If Ole had any balls, or an iota of tactial nous
Cavani for Ronaldo
Sancho for greenwood
Matic for Mctominay
4-3-3.
That’s fine but it’s not like we can sub Zidane for Ole in the second half. All we can do is play the players that will work harder and add balance.
To be honest that finishing is no different than last season.Getting carved open while playing a double pivot, that's impressive
Excellent point.
It does sound bonkers, but Atalanta are super average and have benefitted from some really crap defending. The second goal I can barely believe.
Out 6ft 5 centre back who is superb in defending just those sort of balls, totally caught on his heels.
And we've missed 3 or 4 better chances ourselves.
The problem for Ole is even a win won't convince anyone, however, it is a funny game football, and you never know what can spark a momentum.
Although we hoped the late winner at Villarreal was that!
he has been good
No we didn't great big chances. A lot of smaller ones from Hollywood type passes and such. Regardless of our attacking play, you need to either press properly or track back and form a rigid low block in transition and we're doing neither.
Atalanta missing both their starting wingbacks and are playing a DM at CB (probably for the first time in his career). They're not at their best and still 2-0 up at HT at OT. It's a disgrace.Does anyone where Martial is ?
On 85 minutes
We had at least 3 clear cut chances and have been carving them open all night
Two players who will run their socks off and one who can ping balls 40-50 yards forward.
Which ironically is what the team needed at the start of the game.Thought Phelan had gone
If your aunt had a dickWell the second half can't be much worse....can it?If we are losing Sunday the atmosphere is going to be absolutely poisonous especially given who we are playing. The Liverpool fans will play on it too, they will probably chant for him to stay...
Good post IMOWe have the perfect opporunity to get a new manager bump that could just see us bag top 4, but not if we don't pull the band aid now
The embarrassing thing is I was cautious about booking the Young boys game as I thought it could well be a dead rubber.
It may well be now, but the other way round to what was expected!
They are working well together actually. Ronnie drops in and pulls a defender or 2 and rashy goes in behind. It's worked 3 times.I'm surprised Cavani didn't start. It just makes sense to rest Ronaldo for Sunday and play Cavani 60 minutes. Ronaldo subs in if needed. Is Ole really going to start Ronaldo and Bruno every match?Didn't watch that half and I'm pretty damn glad I didn't by the sounds of it.McFred have been poor but the tactics have left them exposed. We effectively played a 424 in that first half.
We need a triple pivot!! Bring Matic onNeeds more clapping of the crowd.We will score I think, 2-2 maybeIf we are going to go out at the group stages AGAIN then I genuinely hope we finish last in group. I don't want to watch a team with Ronaldo, Pogba and Varane struggling to beat midtable Spanish team in the Europa league ffs.Ole is encouraging the fans to reactDemi Lovato coming on for their MOTM so farWhether you're ole in or ole out, you have to admit changes are needed now to save the club's season.
We have a disjointed group of players, plying with no unity or style.
Some of those players are anonymous doing nothing, adding nothing .... some are trying really hard. Some aren't good enough.
We may still win this but it could also be 0-4No changes???!!
feck me with a 10 inch dildo FFS.
The Rashford 1v1 where he was tackled doesn't add anything to xG because an actual shot wasn't taken.
To be fair, runs in behind is simply not Ronaldo's game anymore - at least not runs that need to be started on the half way line.
It's shite but Ronaldo needs a team that excels in possession and creates most chances in and around the box, whilst requiring little to no pressing from him.
Basically - sentiment aside - he would be having a much better time of it at City right now
No changes.- Status
