Someone has to feck this inept clown off so we can play some proper football and save our season. God, so frustrating watching him drag the likes of CR7, Varane, Bruno et al down to Molde levels of garbage. Seriously think we'd have crushed Atalanta 3-0 if Conte was brought in.
 
Ronaldo praising the Atalanta manager for being a great coach who knows what to do in his interview :wenger:
 
If I had to put my money on one human surviving a mass extinction event it would be him
 
Had the game under control and with this brilliant result I think he deserves to get until the end of the season because SAF struggled too in 2001 and look how that turned out. So glad our board didn't make any stupid decision and we dodged a bullet with Conte who has 0 United DNA.
Agree. Who needs system anyway? Improvisation is new meta in football. We have a manager who invented something new and we must continue with him.

This, I've never seen a luckier man in my life :lol::lol::lol:
 
Let's be honest here, Ole will always be loved as a player, we will always sing his name, but Jesus wept he is an awful manager.He just isn't up to it. For the love of God Ole,please just resign.
 
The nightmare continues, watching us is like pulling teeth but sure enough the idiots in the dugout are saved by a great individual moment.
 
Bailly who would not get a sniff by Ole, was amazing tonight and kept us in the game. But as soon as everyone is fit again Ole will tell him to go and park his ass next to Donny.
Ronaldo who we only bought because of City is scoring the goals to save Ole. I just hope at least, Ole appreciates that he is the luckiest manager in world football.

I can see us all on here in 2024 with Ole still in charge and not a trophy to our name.
 
It’s the midfield that’s his downfall. He and the coaches simply have to recognise we’re being outnumbered in there every time we play 4-2-4.

Every other coach would have one of the attacking wide players do a job by helping to come inside and make the numbers when without the ball and link things together when we have the ball.

The gaps between midfield and attack are enormous but frustratingly they keep on proceeding with it time after time and it’s baffling. So easy to play through.

He has to drop one of the attacking players for someone with the intelligence to come
inside when needed and help us get control of the games.
 
Why does every player that Ole signs, Ole doesn't play.Apart from Ronaldo & Verane, who are undroppable, VDB, Sancho, Diallo, Pellestri, Heaton, Telles never get a game, what's the fecking point?
 
It's not his fault anymore, the people who have the power to end this are to blame now.
It's been their fault the entire time, everyone knows this. But constant whining about them will not do anything as they won't be gone for a looong long time.
 
Tonight just further highlights how much of an unorganised mess we are under him. Ronaldo is constantly bailing us out - God knows where we would be without him. Very frustrating and underwhelming when you consider the players at his disposal.

Pellestri is on loan at Alaves and came on as a sub against Barca few days ago. Diallo I have absolutely no clue. Feels like he was signed because we missed out on Jadon but then we end up getting Jadon anyway only for him to warm the bench....
 
Kept banging on about the first goal being being offside in the post match interview. I really can't stand him anymore

And those making the decisions think that this is just fine. It's a travesty, no accountability from top to bottom whatsoever.
 
I find him more in the Sir Alex mold to be honest, except for the aura, charisma, strategical planning and man management skills among other qualities. He is to Sir Alex what Pulis is to Mourinho. He wants to be pro active but thinks he can do it '90s style where you just find 11 players that can win their duels, motivate them to tackle and close down and get your pacey dribblers to unlock defenses. I hadn't actually heard what @Bastian wrote about OGS saying he sees himself more of a leader but it does make perfect sense. He wants to play the Sir Alex forgetting two key things; 1) he does not have Sir Alex's personality and unparalleled ability to build and eye for talent and 2) he is competing in the age of micro coaches with significantly more refined structure and systems.

I see a lot of comments addressing the quality of players and OGS stylistic preferences. This makes it sound like implementing a way of playing is a simple of matter of wanting and deciding and getting the right players to do it. It neglects the very obvious element of actual technical competence of the individual in charge. If said technical competence was so irrelevant, there would be absolutely no reason to pay high wages to the likes of Klopp or Guardiola. OGS's problem is not that he doesn't have the right players or that he is inherently defensive or cautious or whatever, it is, from how it looks now at least, that he is not good enough in the areas that are very relevant in modern coaching.
I bookmarked this post because I knew it was the most impressive observation I'd ever read on here.

Trust the process. Remember when people said he was rebuilding, well he was starting with the subs. He's nearly completed that now with the addition of Sancho and only needs 5 more years to sort the first team.
 
Im just glad we are all in agreement he has to go. A manager that still tried to play Pogba in a pivot is not a manager worth keeping. I could go on and on but I will rest knowing he won’t see out this season.
 
Baffling approach. We started with a lopsided 343. Bruno playing right of Cristiano, Marcus to the left. Why? Why change what worked at the weekend? Especially with Pogba in midfield.

Gasperini man marked Bruno in the second half and totally shut us down. That's a serious worry. Ole watched how DeRoon was shadowing Fernandes and didn't act until the edge of stoppage time. Why?

Also serious questions about why we couldn't manage the game when we equalised. Going 4231, getting back in the game, we should be able to get compact and counter. We've done it so many times. Why has Ole lost the ability to coach that?

Another night when his decisions baffled me. I guess Sancho & Van de Beek looked good after being introduced.
