I do as well but at some point, we need to get results. I like the squad Ole is building. I don't like our tactics and selections at times. Players playing not playing in their favored positions just to get them on the pitch. Pogba mainly. I don't like how we start slow and have to come from behind far too often, or start strong and then slack off. We've got some obvious flaws in our technical abilities with passing and work rate among some players. The problem is when it happens to most or all players in a single match. We need consistency and discipline if we're going to win anything, Ole or no Ole.

Honestly, telles for shaw might work really well tonight with ronaldo up front.
United still win far more games than they lose, whatever our limitations.
Yeah you’re probably right, I meant more must win in terms of bouncing back. Past seasons we’ve wilted after a defeat or two with regards to competing for trophies. It’s important we don’t have a bad run this early and see ourselves out of most comps before they begin!I understand the concerns about our absentees in defense. But if you look at the last 4 or 5 games, you really shouldn't be missing them too much. Shaw and Maguire have been sloppy, and AWB doesn't really offer much going forward. It's all been a bit shaky - just like I expect it to be tonight.
It would be nice to see the team a bit more gung ho and attack for once. Our defence will be shaky either way. Might as well have a go.
That's because not every team has a £50m player in every single position.
I dont need one. I have a wifeThis is a must win for me.

Dalot Varane Lindelof Telles

RonaldoIt is quite possible we lose this game, especially with a weakened back line so those of you who are not of the plastic persuasion I would avoid this place like the clap if we dont win. Even a draw will be a tidal wave of plastic whiny infantile nonsense.
Its a must win for everyone mate
Matchday threads are to be avoided after kick-off no matter the result.
And even after we win tonight there will still be complaints!I’ve got it down to be 1- 1
hopefully I’m wrong but I just can’t see us winning.Worried about the defense, I think he’ll start mcfred to cover for them. It will be a draw of a lossI’ve just lumped on 0-0 and 1-1 so we may have a chance now tonight. Or we get beat miserably.
Agree. I want to win tonight, but if it doesn't happen and we otherwise play well and deserved to win, I'll try to remain level headed and positive!Shame we abandoned the 4222 from last season, we have 2 great strikers and the wide men aren't playing well right now... Sounds like it could work to meWe can do this. It will click together. Be courageous boys!
Hardly outside the realms of possibility though.
Lost 3 of our last 4 games, and failed to beat them last time around.
For the squad we've put together, that's a poor showing.I think Ronaldo is likely to score so I see us winning if we can keep a clean sheetWe'll lose 2-0, 1 header goal from corner and 1 from a deflected shot. 55% possession with 56 misplaced pass. Ronaldo alone up top and Sancho channeling his inner Juan Mata.5 - 1 to United, it's coming home
Was it you who put in a score prediction of 5-0?
Haha I did a sensible 0-0 but have got that game day naivety coming on leaps and boundsWas it you who put in a score prediction of 5-0?
It'll be shitshow regardless.
If we win, I predict a "individual brilliance saves is job again" thread immediately following the final whistle.Surely if we are playing a different defense to the usual suspects then it becomes harder for the opposition to prepare for as they won't know what to expect? Might work in our favour?I just want a nice 2-0 lead at halftime.
I just want a nice 2-0 lead at fulltime.
I'll take either.I just want a nice 2-0 lead at fulltime.
So last year in the final with a "weakened" back line were we supposed to lose?
Considering the quality in the lineup, no, we should not lose a game to Villareal in the UCL even if we play a back for consisting of 4 pieces of Phil Jones.Neither Harry nor AWB have got going yet this year. Dalot and Lindelof should be fine. It's whatever our next line is that needs to show a bit more tonight. A bit of urgency and less of the carelessness with the first touch and the ball in general is what I'd like to see tonight. I think we'll be fine.Matchday threads are to be avoided after kick-off no matter the result.
And even after we win tonight there will still be complaints!
Exactly. It is however very entertaining. I think unless we score a couple of goals in the first two minutes any match day thread is going to be certainly entertaining to say the least.
When will people stop with this "FC" thing?
It's fecking irritating.Is Nostradamus around?!
So many who know the final score!!
I didnt say supposed I said possible.
and wanking over Zidane and TuchelSo, not all plastics have a picture of Zidane, then
Im definitely not plastic but you do you lad.3-1 to United
Dalot and Telles will be fine and McTom and Fred will show improvements.
Last 3 games? We won against WH in the PL I think?Squeeky bum time?- Status
