What's your theory?We knew how to defend very well last year with the same players. Why do you imagine that knowledge has disappeared?
A very rare occasion where we have a whole week to prepare and our opponents have a midweek game. That won’t have happened too often under Solskjaer with our frequent deep cup runs.
I said before Liverpool that I think the Spurs game will be more indicative of whether Ole has a future or not as Manchester United manager. These recent performances defensively have been so bad. It is undermining our ability to get results and will continue to do so. If after a hard week on the training ground we still look as uncoordinated, the club have no choice but to act.
What's your theory?
Nothing due to manager?Players playing bad
Nothing due to manager?
I mean how did the same players become bad in a year time.
So it's just that, set up is good but they are playing poorly and surely they will, should lift their form?That's the point isn't it? The coaching setup didn't change, no one changed. Performances changed.
And its not even a systemt that's changed. They're just playing poorly.
I'm sorry but I'm not going to sit here and have a discussion that excuses the players for being shit. The lot of them should have stayed behind yesterday and signed autographs to the entire stadium.
Posted my thoughts plenty on here and they can easily be found.You think the club shouldn't act now?
What will happen next week is that the team that played today will rock on to the pitch and lose.
He never changes his approach.
He doesn't drop players
What should happen is that Maguire Shaw Fred McTominay Bruno Ronaldo are all dropped and give the other players a chance
We all know that Ole will once again play almost the same team, but to be honest they almost all need to be on the bench at Tottenham. Not in terms of quality but some of them needs to be punished.
My team :
---------------------------------------De Gea---------------------------------------
-----------------Lindelof--------Maguire---------Bailly---------------------
Wan Bissaka-----------VDB----------Matic------------------------Telles
---------------------------------------Lingard----------------------------------------
-------------------------------Ronaldo---Rashford-----------------------------

There’s not much point firing the manager as an emotional reaction to yesterday. City, Liverpool and Chelsea all had bad losses conceding five under their current managers last season, it happens. Ferguson and Busby lost by five goals at home in derbies too before winning further titles too, it happens.
Solskjaer can have no complaints if he is sacked though. We have seen the same defensive failings in the side week after week, with little evidence that he or his staff are equipped to address them. If the board want to sack Ole, they need to do so on the basis that there’s someone better equipped ready to do the job. They need to already have sounded out potential candidates and have a preferred one lined up. If they don’t, then removing him may just be an act of self harm. I don’t want Carrick or Fletcher managing us for a run of games.
Spurs for me was always the more informative game, given we have a very rare, whole week to prepare. If we play poorly in that one, he absolutely will have to be replaced. No ifs, and no buts.
I'm not sure Spurs will get 1, Kane not in good form.
Maguire is the biggest problem recently and you have him starting?
He needs to be the first one dropped
And me.I can see us drawing this 2-2
The difference is they have all won trophies at the top level. Ole hasnt got that to drop back on. Thats the difference, one is a blip in successful management careers the other is more dross on top of dross.Posted my thoughts plenty on here and they can easily be found.

Will draw this one and get smashed by City the following week.
Solskjaer has won more league titles than Busby had won at the stage, but that's kind of my point. You don't sack Ole in an emotional reaction to a 0-5 loss, the same way you wouldn't sack any more successful manager without considering the bigger picture. If you want to sack him, do so for positive change, but you need to get the succession right. There's no point firing him, if you have no clue what your next move is.The difference is they have all won trophies at the top level. Ole hasnt got that to drop back on.

I feel the same tbh. I might actually agree to take the missus shopping, that’s how dejected i feel with this team and coaching staffHonestly don't see myself watching this shite.
You are right, but do you think this club at the very top is run right on footballing decisions? We will look at who is available without any thought of if they are suitable VG Mou and Ole are all testament to that.Solskjaer has won more league titles than Busby had won at the stage, but that's kind of my point.

It's why I can't get overly invested in calling for Ole's head, despite the shortcomings we see every week right now. I feel he is just as likely to turn it around, as the board are to appoint the right next manager, coaches and other appointments in the footballing structure to turn it around.You are right, but do you think this club at the very top is run right on footballing decisions?

I'm assuming you're expecting Conte to lead us out on Saturday?
