Well done for that, btw when was that? and that bold part proves you understand why spurs aren't a big club. Which is a bit of a shock as I've seen you twist words to move away from any argument vs spurs when you're loosing ....Well done you're improving (give yourself a clap or two). Just as spurs needs to do in the trophy department, in order for them to be considered a big club.
Yes at the moment spurs are a middle-size club (who are trying to become big) but once you lot start winning stuff then you'd move unlike my apparent goal post which will always remain the same, except in your head.
Martial and some others need to leave. Any player coming into the club and seeing that level of application as acceptable will only keep us where we are.
Whatever, sunshine. As I've said, the world is not simplistically dividable into only 6 or 7 big clubs, with the hundreds and hundreds of other clubs all being either middle-size or small.
If you can't understand or handle that, then too bad.
He is as good as anyone better than most. Let him buy who he wants.
If you add Fergie's last few years football to all these years since he left, Its almost 10 years we have been carving for good football. Hope the next decade will be the opposite and we could be fortunate to witness some great football again. Clear the deck by showing door to all avg players, get rid of any top class players who doesnt want to be with us and then build again with exciting players.
I actually think it was fine, he knew the game had gone and I think he wanted to see how they reacted. Our team gives off a bit of an immature aura in that when we concede we generally have a bit of a sulk, I think he wanted to see how certain players reacted when they are being soundly beaten, away from home and getting a bit of a reality check. Would they still put in the effort or did they sit back and just wait for the whistle.
Never play Ashley young again and we'r already a better side, should be the first and easiest improvement to make. Unfortunately, Ole seems to be the only person on the planet, with any affiliation for the club, who cant see how ridiculously rubbish he is.
Yes.
During Jose reign, when Jose said number, we signed that many players. First year he said four, we signed four. Next year he said 4, we signed 3 but tried to sign winger who we then signed in january. Last season Jose didn't say number because he moaned about new players. Or to say better, Ed refused to buy him players
So i believe that we really will buy "one or two".
The only thing I see as being the issue with Solskjaer’s style of play is the energy needed for it.
At the point of the PSG game(s) we were at breaking point, then all the injuries came in, the weakness of the squad exposed and nobody has every fully recovered from it.
What we need is the summer to rebuild fitness programs and rebuild the squad so we have a deeper pool to pick from and for all Players to completely rebuild their fitness levels as it crystal clear that under LVG and Mourinho far too little was done on this.

You need to win some trophies, that you don't need to be from a different generation to remember.
One league cup in a decade is it?
So glad we hired this bloke instead of doing everything we could to get Poch.
We'll live to regret it, but what's new
We will. All I’ve seen is people say shit like “what makes you think Poch would do a better with this squad”?.. well firstly there is no evidence to say he wouldn’t but secondly look at this squad he has built without a massive budget.. I’d be much more confident with him rebuilding our squad than I am with Ole in charge.
Yeah, losing against Citeh. Really impressive...
Ironic, given his role as a sub.
Yeah, losing against Citeh. Really impressive...
Going through as we speak.. quite impressive.
Yeah, losing against Citeh. Really impressive...
Going through as it stands...
Yet they are only 3 points ahead of United in the league.
At the moment.
Either way, Poch has proven himself. Ole hasn’t. A big gamble the club should never have taken given our shit decent history.
The only hope I have for Ole is that his style of play in the initial games looked promising. It would certainly work in the league if we had better players who could do it consistently. Which is why I'm willing to give him a chance. But if he goes for 20% possession approach even after a busy summer, I'll call for his head -- though I don't think he will do that.
Our attack is appalling. Many of our attackers are stealing a living, which is why I somewhat sympathize with Ole. All defensive mistakes can be remedied if you have proven goalscorers at the other end, but our attackers are neither intelligent nor clinical.
Sorry I didn't mean it as in you was judging. I think time with tell whether Ole is the right man, this summer if he's fully back and we obtain the targets he wants will be a key indicator.
It’s not necessarily that our attack is appalling (though I’d drive Lukaku and Alexis anywhere that would have them) because Rashford, Martial, Lingard were all scoring in the early games, then all of them got injured. All muscle related (though I think Rashford’s was his ankle that he kept playing on) and none have got back to their pre-injury levels.
Blimey, many turning on Ole already it seems.
I don't remember many people speaking out against him when he was pulling off the impossible a month or two back, clawing our way back into contention for fourth. I seem to remember this being deemed near enough impossible when he first took over as interim.
It would be sad enough to see were he some random manager, but he's an absolute undeniable legend of our club, boggles my mind.
Each to their own I guess but I'd rather go down in flames with Ole than watch another minute of that black-hole of integrity Jose moping around our dugout.
And for what it's worth I think Ole'll do well if given the correct backing. I'd take a qualified DOF and Phelan by his side also, were it up to me.
Cheer up ya lunes.

Hopefully once we back Ole in the market he can reward us with an effective watchable playing style or the decision to take him over Poch will sting.
at you thinking Pochettino could get this current United side playing at that (spurs/city) level.Nothing but a hypothetical subjective opinion, Poch is a better manager than Solskjaer that is a proven fact.
Solskjaer is far more of a risk, if it pays off or not that remains to be seen.
Don't be an idiot. There are layers to that thought beyond swapping teams in a what-if universe
He wouldn’t but look at some of the dross he has at Spurs who he has turned in to stars.. not to many the way he has built this squad in to what it is, I doubt Ole will do anything similar with us despite having a shit load more money.
How long has he been manager at spurs v Ole at united?
Imagine now the guy that the club set out to get back in December wins the CL hahahahaha
This is why he's suited to this club at our current moment more so than Ole. Ole has no credentials when it comes to building a squad to challenge for the league, we can only go off his transfer dealings when at Cardiff his signings were absolutely shocking.
It doesn't determine if Ole will be a success or failure in the market but it's more of a risk for us to invest 400 million or whatever over two seasons than it would have been to hire Poch.
Not the point I’m making. The point is Poch has proved over time he can build a squad to challenge despite not having the level of funds around him. There is nothing to suggest Ole can and will do something that good, I hope he can but I’m not convinced.
at you thinking Spurs squad is better than ours.
Actually it's. Ajax squad is also better. The only thing that makes People believe our squad is better than teams who play x10 football is that our players are heavily overpaid and massively overrated.
Son alone is better than our entire attack but he'll never get the same salary or overrating our "top class" forwards Rash, Martial and Lukaku will get.
Time to realize our squad isn't achieving and it's far worse than teams we underrate.
BS. Poch just makes them look much better than they actually are. Credit to the manager, Spurs squad is surely no better than ours.
We can gather as many managers as we can to manage our crop, they'll still look shite, because they're shite.
I'll take Son over our entire attack.
