The effect of Match of the day highlights and youtube compilations. They see these teams creating one chance/goal and believe they play like that for 90 minutes every game. I must be watching a different sport when i watch these teams actually play compared to how they are lauded on here.
Why do you have to lie?
I don’t need mentioning them. They are class above everyone this year.
No problem with saying that. That means that you like football performed by teams like Brighton, Bornmouth, Norwich, West Ham and more...
It seems that way. The only answer I’ve got is that those people hate Solskjaer that much that they would say pretty much everything to discredit team and manager.
We know that you are one of those dissliking Solskjaer. Can’t other teams be good or does it always have to be us that are bad? Don’t discredit Everton and Wolves. They are good teams and there is no shame fighting them for CL places. We are in the same position as Tottenham and Chelsea. Fighting for top 4.
It's fair to say that, although if those goals were scored by other flavour of the month teams (managers) they would be seen as a sign those teams play great football.
You can turn your Utd bias on and off at will? That's an impressive skill.
All fair enough. Like you said bud, matter of opinion. I’ve been Ole out for a while as I don’t think he’s the guy that’s going to take us back to competing but I also agree that he’s done a lot of positive things during his tenure. I’ve always maintained, top 4 should be his goal. If he’s able to achieve it, I wouldn’t be against him getting some more time - albeit I’d still like to see a lot more improvement on the playing field. If not, he should go. Same rules as has applied to the rest, imo.
Agreed with that. Outside of Leicester (& obviously Pool and city) who’s looked fairly good, the rest are all a bit “meh” & inconsistent. In any other year, we’d probably be well of the pace & contention for top 4 with our points tally.
Long ball? Really?
Well said. People on one hand say how shit Lingard, Pereira are and on the other rare on Ole for not being able to beat the low block when teams sit back against us. Do they not see the connection. Right now we lack any real creativity. Our most creative player Pogba hasn't played all season. We just brought in Bruno. We haven't had the players available all season to break these teams down. Give it time and these players, whether it be Bruno & Pogba, Grealish or whoever and chances are a lot of those dodgy results turn to wins.
Again for the nth time, the point of the post was to highlight that you can play attacking attractive football without having to have a team full world-class players, not that we should aim to get relegated or play in the championship. We should also try to play attractive football like the teams mentioned. Its you who made the connection with their relegation position when the post was talking about the style of play. By that it looks like you are implying that if we try to play an attractive style of play like Norwich, we'd also find ourselves in the same league position as them. The discussion came up because of the constant excuses that we have a lot of poor players so we see such crappy football, while the likes of Norwich with even worst squads manage to play some semblance of nice football. Their league position is irrelevant to the discussion as its mostly due to lack of quality which is not as big a problem for us (to fear relegation). I hope the point is clear.
Yeah, I agree. The accountability should ultimately rest with the manager.
I don't know why I'm doing it mate. Probably will stop if I get the same reply.
But what attacking attractive football do you mean? Norwich? Lets see those brilliant attacking football by Norwich that you love to mention.
You gave up because you are wrong and darkness of hate is covering averything that is not in the "lets hate Solskjaer"-box.
The fact that you are comparing stats from teams with so much gulf in quality shows you are either deluded or just trolling. They just got promoted from Championship last year and their entire squad would not cost as much as our right back signing last season. Its funny you think if two teams play attacking football they should have same stats irrespective of the squad quality. Leeds have 49 goals for and 30 against, so are they better than us? Should the context that they play in Championship matter? Keep on with your rant, that is why @jamesjimmybyrondean deos not want to continue discussing with you, at some point one has to realize if the argument is not at the same intellectual level its just waste of time. I'm done with you as well, you are just not going to acknowledge the point being made.
So now you are saying I don't use my eyes. Let's use the eyes together to understand what we're talking about, shall we?
