Its not the players.. nor ferguson..

it has to be Queiroz.
Since he came to the club the players seem too tired when they play matches.
Maybe he s pushing them too much in training or something?
and please.. Dont tell me that he has got a good pedigree about coaching. He was only a national team manager who met with his players once in a while. Maybe he has an idea about other systems of play but he shouldnt be the players' coach for that reason.
your opinions?
 
We have been bad since McClaren and Stam left, I think McClaren is a good manager and was good for us too.
 
Rubbish!
Absolute rubbish!
Speaking as a professional Coach myself, no coach, especially one with a pedigree as high as Queiroz will adapt a schedule that would run them to the ground. The whole point of coaching isn't to work harder, but smarter. The point of coaching and the goal behind it is that you develop your players mentally and physically, and to improve them to the best that their potential will enable to. Players constantly being tired physically would make them also mentally tired. So stop the notion of that. If the players are not playing well, or not finishing, or not defending properly then ultimately the ones that are to blame are...... The players themselves. The Manager is the one that suffers as a result, and both manager and coach will take their fair share of blame for whatever reason. However in the end it's down to the players. I hear shouts of get the Nevilles out. Why? If you think about it more clearly you will see that these type of players, would bleed for the club and love the club. I'm tired of people making the Nevilles the scapegoats for every United failure and continuosely ignore the fact that Solskjaer for his great finishing ability hasn't had a good footballing contribution in quite a while. Or the fact that Forlan who has been one of few scoring for us lately has been diminished to the bench with absolutely no time on the pitch. The Manager will take a lot of the criticism in the sense that he picks the 11 but ultimately passion cannot be kicked or forced into someone no matter how much you try!

Agreed.

Not for a week at least. :rolleyes: Didn't do too bad against Fulham either. And set up today's goal. And he always works his socks off which is more than some of them do.

Even on MUTV tonight they were saying that Ole has been played out of position for most of the season.

You don't want the Nevilles to be scapegoats, but why single out Ole - none of the players are having the best of seasons. Except John O'Shea. Ole hasn't missed as many sitters as Ruud, and the midfield haven't been providing a particulary good service.

Yes, he was good, but we were just fine before him. He's done well with United, but it's ridiculous to say that not having him is the source of our problems.

During his last season we also gave some of our worst european performances of the last 6 years or so.
