Hate saying it but the Honeymoon period from December to March 1st week could be one of the worst thing that happened to this club since sir alex retired. Ole has ideas but he doesn't know how to implement them and neither is he ruthless like I thought he would be. If he seriously cares about the club he needs to demand more from the board this January.
 
Not good enough. We are a fecking joke. I would accept a 17th place in the league if I could see some progression, but nothing is developing at the moment.

The players look clueless on field, the youngsters look shaky and our past it players are shiter than usually. Ole out.
 
It looks like he's combining everything bad about the 3 previous managers in one go without taking any positive from them :

Moyes : Being clueless.
LVG : Looks uninspiring, bland and dull on touchline.
Mourinho : Boring football.

Quite an achievement here.
 
Not sure how much longer people can defend him, he can't set a team up, and they look absolutely clueless again. Hi self and his management team need to take a walk. There are no green shoots to be seen, nothing to grasp a hold of and say, ok we are in the right path. Absolutely nothing is positive about. The club, squad is shit, playing style is shit, team look clueless and directionless and team line up and set up pathetic.
Loved Ole the player, but said it from day one, Ole the manager should never ever have been given the job. I take no enjoyment in saying that.
 
Matchday forum is just embarressment. So much negativty.

Playing subs
Playing youngsters
Playing on artificial turf
Playing away against good team that is third in Eredivisie.
Playing knowing we got Newcastle in three days

Oh, how people love to think this is Football Manager.

It's no shock, he's not even on Moyes's level, at least Moyes did well with Everton before joining United but was still eay out of his depth, only thing ole has done of note is win a Mickey mouse league and has an awful record as a manager in the English leagues.

Yep. Everything is fine and the team has been great this season so far. Weird why are people so negative. It's totally fine. Ole's at the wheel.

Oh they will defend him right until the minute he is sacked, the poll we had just proves it. These people don't care what they see on the pitch, they just think Ole will magically turn into SAF because... well... he is Ole. Our expectations went from TOP 4 to TOP 6 to TOP 10 to have a fecking shot on target against Alkmaar but unfortunately 60% of our fans are completely fine with it.
 
The fact that he can't seem to be able to coach any of the players he picks to play as striker to actually play as a striker is what has me slightly worried. He was a striker, how can he not see that if there is nobody in the box we probably won't score.
That's a very simple football tactic I would have thought

Who thought we'd get top 4 with this squad?

100% agree! Just watch the damn thing. It’s like the players are playing on ice. If people think that is any excuse. Watch the ball! Every time a player try to receive it, it bounces away from them or up in the air. It takes two or three touches just getting it under control. This is 3 generations behind in terms of plastic turf.
 
I've wanted to give him some time but I can't defend him anymore. There's no positives to take from that half. We're getting worse every game and other teams have figured out how to effectively stop us from counter-attacking. Doesn't matter who we play now as the opposition side always looks to have more quality on the ball, better movement and better attacking patterns. Don't think he'll make it till January.

Unfortunately some people, not all, but some want all the focus on Owners and Woodward. They are poison and massively detrimental to the club and we need rid of them asap, but i hate this back Ole, they owners are to blame for this mess for not supporting Ole. Yes, we didn't spend enough money but the way he has set up this team against awful opposition in previous games has been embarrassing. You could give him the Man City squad and he wouldn't know what to do with it. He's a league Championsip level manager at best, and his leadership is dragging us further and further down the league. It's horrible to watch. Like someone else said, he is looking Clueless like moyes. Sitting on his hands like Van Gaal and boring football like Mourinho.

You can still find Americans who think Saddam in attacked them on 7/11. So if OGS gets us relegated he'll still have some defenders.

I would agree, but this is how we play in every game this season. It doesn't matter who is playing or the opposition, we look clueless. We can't keep defending the indefenceable, ole looks out of his depth here.
 
What sort of coaching does he actually do.

Every team we play no matter what league ir level we look much worse than them
 
Squad looks worse when having a clearly out of his depth manager.

Hardly any of the players can pass a ball or control it. It’s a shocking pitch with a cobbled together team. I very much doubt any one could do a great deal with this group of players

How are AZ playing decent football then? Excuse after excuse for Ole. Wake the feck up.

Yeah, cause we are shocking only today... Doesn't matter what the pitch is, what team we play against we are aways shite. The longer Ole "coaches" this team the worse we become.

Very much This. Once we get back playing at OT with our first team, its will get better. oh, wait?

This is their first team. They play together every week, and half of those games is in this pitch. They're used to it. They're also one of the best coached teams in The Netherlands along with Ajax. People are severely underestimating AZ on here.
 
Ole is clueless. Of that i am 100% convinced. He'll be sacked sometime in the new year. We've been awful for a long time. How can anyone not see his level is League 1.

They are playing their strongest team that plays together week in week out? Ours is cobbled together with half a team with hardly any first team appearances and the other half dead wood that can’t get in our “first team”
 
He's incredibly out of depth and not fit to manage Utd, but eh.. he's probably here for the season at least so plenty more games like this to come.
 
I would agree, but this is how we play in every game this season. It doesn't matter who is playing or the opposition, we look clueless. We can't keep defending the indefenceable, ole looks out of his depth here.
Yep, I'm waiting for the 'if Greenwood just stuck that chance away we wouldn't be talking about this' posts at the end if this doesn't improve. Ifs and buts and 'just being unlucky'...for the millionth time.
 
I'd love to be positive. Said before I'm looking at 10 league games which is just over a quarter of the season in and Christmas, don't want to include the end of last season like many do or jump in after 5 games.

I just wonder how low we have to go? The players seem to have a phobia of the ball against AZ.

This logic is fine when we actually play well with our first lineup but we're also shite with it.

His defenders are basically

this-is-fine.0.jpg
 
James, a winger, playing as a striker
Greenwood, a striker, playing on the wing
Gomes, a 10, playing on the wing

:wenger:
 
Its not my first sport so I dont claim to be super knowledgeable but Im starting to see what Wenger said when he said we dont look coached at all, there is no tactics, there isnt anything there. Probably just a peep talk before the game and thats it
 
Feck me this is awful. As much as I like him as a player, he’s just not cut out for manager.

I’m not seeing anything developing with this team. It’s basically hope someone can pull off an individual piece of magic out of their ass.
