We did. Do some research.

You'd have thought the motivation to announcing Ole as permanent manager before the end of the season was that we had something else to announce as well, a DOF, a new player perhaps, but seemingly not, so I just don't get why we did it.
If that's the case, we need a massive fire sale this summer. He's been patient, tried to get them playing football and has mostly shielded the players from any kind of criticism. He's made one public comment that they need to wake up and perform - if they can't take that, they can all feck off. I'd prefer to see the kids playing than this lot.
de Gea and Pogba have to go, I honestly think they're the root cause of the rot.
Ole is not the problem.
I don't know if he's the man to turn it around but regardless, the players are fecking pathetic. They don't even look like they're breaking a sweat.

The poor squad we have is coming home to roost.
Everton away is never a cake walk.
Possibly let Ole at least have one window to bring players in first?
You know, that sort of thing before we slate a manager?
Woodward/Glazers wouldn't let Jose build his team and you think they will let ' please sir can I have some more ' Ole build 'his' team. Dream on.Didn't want Ole to get the job but at the same time feel bad for him 
It turns out the guy who has only ever managed Cardiff and in the Norwegian league may not be the second coming of Guardiola. Who'd have thought, eh?
God no. We have to be ruthless. feck being old fashioned, we should get with the times. We needed a coach not another manager who has no idea how to coach and we should stop giving money to such managers even if we are stupid enough to appoint them. Managers who have no idea how to coach end up hoovering useless players just because they are available and we will end up in a cycle of appointing managers and buying players.
You lot have already turned on him pretty quickly.
What is his profile of players? What style exactly is he trying to play? I get that some of the players need to be shipped out pronto but what kind of players does he need to achieve his style of football?
Ole still has a more attacking mentality than Mourinho. Unfortunately, the players either haven't, or have forgotten how. I don't care how brilliant Pogba is, I'm sick of him. No urgency, no passion, can't inspire. What's his percentage of great games for us? Smalling and Jones should never have been given new contracts - and I said this even when United were doing well. And Matic has nearly always been little more than a passenger.
Said all along that I won't judge Ole until he brings his own players in.

Awful appointment, never going to get us in top 4, never mind turning us into championship contenders.
We’ll blame Ed, Glazers, Young and others but the buck stops with the manager.
Absolutely rubbish.

Not sure what ole is thinking now, but if I am the manager I would have shouted at the players. Or kick a something showing displeasure
I don't think he has lost the dressing room, this is our 4th game over the last 10 days and I'm surprised he hasn't made more changes in personnel today as the team clearly lacked energy and intensity.
Is it .
The players don’t want to work, Everton have run 4km more. Happened under Jose and now Ole, we know where the problem is. Ed needs to help him in the summer by getting a DoF and establishing a proper structure.
Players are out on their feet.
Judge Ole when he has a squad of fit players next season. That's what his style is built on.

It’s a bit embarrassing.

Maybe Poch will be available next December when Ole gets the sack
Ah the classic "lost the dressing room" line already
They're not trying. Everton are hardly playing at a high intensity but we're barely contesting second balls and are well off the pace. Look at that second goal. Matic was being inexplicably lazy and De Gea makes a half arsed effort to save it.
I remember even the commentary saying that old Trafford looked muted when he was announced. It could be a factor that we had a few had results leading up to it, but I've always said I don't think Ole has the pedigree to move us forward. We are seeing why the likes of Eddie Howe and such coaches don't get the opportunities to manage bigger clubs because there's levels when it comes to management. In a managerial context Howe is actually better suited to the job then Ole, especially on the basis of his management in the league.
Basically the old Fergie model. English core with a few Europeans and the South Americans to augment them.
People have absolutely zero perspective. We had no right to be anywhere close to top 4. We got there because of the team. We have lost games against arsenal, wolves and Everton away during that run where most teams have struggled and yet it is some sort of a doomsday scenario.
Half of our fan base deserves Jose for 5 more years.

It’s modern day RedCafe.
Exactly. What an idiotic decision to not wait until the end of the season. Woodward must be the most idiotic moron CEO in the world.
Be interesting to see which of those on here who were stringently anti mourinho are now against Ole. I firmly believe there's quite a dew supporters of other clubs masquerading on here to cause discontent.
Do we have a 60 day return policy?
Yeah? Not disagreeing with that. But there's problems with all three. The board, the manager, and the players.
The board blew their load way too fast when they saw how happy we were with Ole as caretaker. Ole can't seem to arrest this poor run of form, he also struggles to change games around as they're going on. The players look like they've given up and some look like they don't want to play for us. It's very very telling when someone like Herrera who just a couple of months ago was the "captain without the armband" is willing to sign with another club before the season is out. That's on the board too, but blame has to be shared with those players.
Everything seems rotten to the core.
We can only hope.
This goes beyond today. We’ve been outplayed by West Ham, Watford and Wolves and now Everton in recent weeks. All decent teams but haven’t got anywhere near the quality we have. You have to ask yourself why that is? Whilst I agree we have plenty of shit as well in our squad, those teams have simply been better managed, had better game plans than us and Ole just sits there and changes nothing whilst it unfolds in front of him.
He is NOT the man to take us forward. Good one Ed !
And he’ll turn Smalling and Jones into Alderweireld and Vertonghen will he? And Lukaku into Kane?
Get some perspective.
Cant wait for the performance threads later.
All the fan boys out in force, defending their heroes

They are trying, we're just playing very badly against a hyped up Everton.
Matic was for some reason trying to cover the ball wide, ignoring that the guy with the ball is one of the tastiest strikers of the ball in the league.
It was a good run lads, time to change manager again because Ole is tactically clueless, lost the dressing room, yes man, not good enough etc.
Woodward and his lackeys should get a pay rise though, they've been doing a fantastic job.
Martial doesn't have fan boys anymore, they lost faith after the 5th shite game in a row.

I wonder if we can pay molde to take him back?
Didn't want Ole to get the job but at the same time feel bad for him
Don't, I'm his bank manager he told me he just won the lotto.
