    Sack all the players and have a lottery by seat number before the game for 11 starters and a few subs. Can't be any worse than this.

    Do we really want Ole to be in charge of the massive rebuild that we are looking at this summer ?

    I reckon it's a standard meeting around setting plans and transfers etc for the summer but what does everyone think? Surely they will be wary as they are potentially about to back him in the summer. But then if he gets his signings will there be improvement?

    How have we been fortunately I've been busy so not seen any of the football especially not the sickening title race

    Merson apparently is back on the wagon again. He will say anything to stay relevant and $$
     
    F1 over, might watch the second half unless there’s any nice brick walls to stare at.
     
    There's some games at the end of seasons where you think, this'll be really promising next year.

    This aint one.

    Hope thats true. Sackable offense if we lose against a relegated Cardiff side.

    It's way past that, we have to accept it'll be him who'll have this task. If it was up to me, the answer would be a resounding "no". It's just too much for an inexperienced manager like that.
     
    Greenwood looking good. But not getting carried away on just one game .The rest look like they are already on their holidays.
     
    Merson is a senile, raving drunkard.

    Although reconsidering manager now wouldn't be the worst of ideas if there's an alternative out there.

    But I doubt there is an alternative out there right now. Unless Poch is literally insane.

    I saw this but refrained from reading into anything that comes from his mouth.
     
    Just get Rashy off been been terrible for months and Lingard just get fecked. Get Gomes and Garner on, let's lose this in a more enjoyable way at least.

    I swear if it wasn't for Greenwood, i would have put City on.

    This is beyond demoralizing.

    Not getting any top Red points. City is more entertaining and our game is useless. All I need from that game is to know if a flying banner will be displayed or if there's a mass wall-out early.

    Players don't all of a sudden start missing the target from 6 yards because it's senior football. It's clear you haven't seen him play, and so you have arbitrarily decided there is issues with his finishing. Why doesn't that surprise me?
    Click to expand...

    At top level they have less time to think or co-ordinate their movement. That's why you can have players scoring hordes of goals in the Championship only to fail at the EPL. Now I've been noticing this flaw for quite some time with United's kids. Welbeck, Rashford and maybe Greenwood as well. They all have the making of a decent forwards (pace, technique, decent dribbling skills and workrate) but they all seem struggling in finishing skills. The last forward we produced who was also a great finisher was Paul Scholes. I don't see anything wrong in suggesting bringing in someone who can improve the youth finishing skills. What's wrong to suggest additional help for our kids?

    I would have suggested Ole but I think he'll have his hands full this summer and won't have time for 1 to 1 sessions with Greenwood.

    No and No.

    Merson barely knows his name.

    Guy is talking shite.

    Ole will be given time to imprint his own ideas.

    EVERY manager will be having meetings Monday because its the start of pre season planning. Nothing to do with results, Ole or anything but planning.
     
    Next year, Smalling, Jones Lingard and Rashford only sit on the bench. They don't deserve to walk into week in and week out with poor performance.

    Does off the pace mean shit?
     
    You watch players like Laporte and VVD run in bravely to head goals in and you realize we haven't had CBs who scored those goals since Nemanja.
     
    I did say playing youth would have been fruitful but apparently 5th is the goal here.
    We would have gotten 5th by playing youth.
