Did people seriously expect us to play city off the park without pogba, rashford and Mctominay. I am not excusing ole as I feel he should be gone but blaming Ole for today is a joke. That starting line up today lacked so much quality.
No problem losing, it's the fact that we are struggling to create any chances at the moment and that will continue against Wolves at the weekend which will be Ole's undoing. He needs to improve his attacking set up.
 
They had like 13 shots to our 1. By no means "spot on".
The plan was quite clear. Try and stay in the game, nick a goal on the break and put pressure on. We did that. It worked

The game plan wouldve been adjusted as needed(i.e. if we hadnt of scored as early as we did). Ultimately the sending off changed the plan. There wasn't much we could do with 10 men.
 
Has a line up featuring 3 fullbacks, Matic, Lingard, an 18 year old forward, a player with 1 year in the championship, a 19 year old fullback with no prior first team experience, 3 keys players out injured and people are complaining that we only beat City 1-0 away from home?

Come back down to reality.
 
You must think 80% of this forum are shit posts then, seeing as anyone with half a brain can see Ole is utterly clueless.

I'd actually say 90% are shit, but that just means hysterical meme speak posters do most of the posting. But yours is the top shit post for its lack of insight, depth and irritating lame Internet millennial syntax

Especially when you have Juan Mata on the pitch and deny him taking a free kick where he notoriously scores from.

Sorry I hurt your internet feelings by stating the truth.

Ole is one of the best paid managers in the premier league and that's his game plan. Fooking hell, even I could come up with better tactics and I would gladly do the job for free.

just checking, you think you could easily come up with tactics to beat City by more than one goal away from home?
 
He hasn't coached us into being able to attack and create as a team well enough and we need a better manager for that.
Although given that he could not really do much more today. We have almost 0 firepower in our squad at the moment.
Nothing wrong with the set up in theory, but you need attacking options that could change things and players that can give you goals.

Rashford is badly missed and we are stupid to not bring anyone in for the wings/striker position.
 
I honestly believe, Potch needs to come in as head coach and have Ole as his assistant and get it can really kick on.
 
'our players are shit, our best players are injured, we have zero chance without Rashford carrying us, City are miles ahead'

United win 1-0

'aghhh it wasn't the way we wanted!!'
 
Can we abandon the myth he can’t do tactics and is a shit coach now please? Granted we didn’t go through but we just beat city at their place again. Pep came out with some made unexpected formula and we more than dealt with it. Shame Mata didn’t take that free kick at the end

He's out witted Poch, Mourinho and now Guardiola (twice)

You don't need amazing tactics to beat Burnley at home just clinical attackers

Put everyone behind the ball and hope for a bit of luck, hardly a tactical masterclass.

City should have won tonight, they had a number of excellent chances and De Gea saved our bacon. But yeah, Ole produced another masterclass by beating city.

With that fecking squad against that fecking sqaud too. feck me, the posters in the mains are pathetic. We just beat city away with a massively depleted sqaud against their strongest 11 and people want to take a pop at Ole? feck off. (not you wummy)
 

Which you don't like, so it's shit. But I do agree with you in all seriousness, it was a shit post because honestly I couldn't be arsed laying out the reasons why he's
incompetent time and time again. It's far too draining at this point.
 
Some of the hatred towards Ole shown here is simply idiotic sometimes.
Yes, Mata should've taken the FK, but everything else... We need two goals, best players missing, Martial doesn't know where he is... yeah, Poch would've destroyed them

Aye and Bayern should have wiped the floor with us (and did) in the final in 99 but at the end of the day, we won the fecking lot. Who gives a feck, a win is a win.

God forbid the GK do what he's paid to do :rolleyes:

I don’t think there was an alternative plan, if City scored first it was done and dusted and we’d have played the same way. I have no problems with how we played, limited manager, limited players and limited tactics. The aggregate score flattered us, tonight was about either relying on City to be wasteful and staying in the game or keeping the score respectful.
 
Useless. Should have beaten city 2-0 in their pitch.

Am I doing this right??

That's a bit of an exaggeration, he is average.

The point I am trying to make is that we look clueless up front. It's not just against City, it's also against the likes of Burnley last week. We don't have a clue, no attacking patterns or plan B. I don't mind losing, but if he is to keep this job and give us any hope of staying in the hunt for top 4 something has to give.
 
I beg someone to explain to me the possible rationale behind that Fred/Mata FK situation. I’m desperately struggling to understand what could even be the reason.

Honestly, it’s really not an exaggeration but situations like that are massive indicators to me that he’s not the right man for the job, in addition to bizarre things he says in the media.

Players discussing between themselves who takes the free kick is super common. So that's the rationale.

I wonder why... oh yeah our top scorer is injured and our biggest creator has been missing all season from what was already a threadbare squad

Our only creator to be honest as well. At least bringing in Bruno will change that.
 
Good post match interview on Sky. Exactly the line Ferguson would have taken in highlighting the poor refereeing for the sending off.
 
People actually critisizing Oles tactical ability over a close to perfect tactical performance against one of the worlds best teams, not realising we have three key players injured :wenger:
 
Greenwood-Martial-Lingard VS Mahrez-Aguero-Sterling
Fred-Matic-Williams VS De Bruyne- Gundogan- Silva

Just look at those names. We actually won being incredible inferior player for player. But the manager is a tactical disaster.

We've just beaten Manchester City twice in a row at Ethiad.

The squad today was massively depleted. Matic gets a red card.

I guess we are truly in LaLa land if there is wild critcism for not winning 2-0 instead of 1-0.

If you think it’s that easy mate any dickhead could do it. Including you.

Erm, you’re in dreamland if you really think that. A real manager in that situation forces his instructions on the team (which should have been Mata taking the FK).

Also in case you haven’t noticed Mata was fuming that he wasn’t taking it so there was no “discussion” as you’ve put it.

Still no rationale. Waiting.
 
Has a line up featuring 3 fullbacks, Matic, Lingard, an 18 year old forward, a player with 1 year in the championship, a 19 year old fullback with no prior first team experience, 3 keys players out injured and people are complaining that we only beat City 1-0 away from home?

Come back down to reality.

It really has gotten this bad on here

We had 7 shots on goal and 9 shots missed on goal against Burnley. The result is one of the biggest highway robberies of the season.

There is no problems with getting chances. The end result is the problem, and that is down to the quality of the players.
