Is it strange considering how accommodating we are as a fan base?
100% this, the standards and ambition at the club is on the floor. Wins like today are meaningless and only delay the inevitable.
I don’t think the current spurs team has a philosophy, the closest I would say is that it a counter attacking oriented approach, conservative with work rate, and very slow build up play. There is so much different to their philosophy now than it was back then. Under your favorite manager that is doing amazing at psg at the moment, spurs had one of the best work ethic, they were possession oriented, and played with marauding full backs.
This, yesterday was about saving his own arse and he reverted to the most defensive set of players and system he could muster, 5 defenders and Mcfred, the blokes a fraud, his United DNA talk is all soundbite bollocks, want him gone asap... He's basically Jose with a smile at this point. Just get him the feck out of our club.
I don't mind him being in the job if the board is looking out for someone to replace him soon-ish. The problem is we don't know if they're doing that and that's why some want us to lose games so the board is forced to.
I think it naturally fixes itself, there’s a group of Ronaldo, Cavani, Pogba, Matic, Martial, Lingard who are going to move on/become less involved. Assuming we hire an offensively minded manager, Sancho definitely starts, Greenwood will start, VdB will probably have left if Ole stays.
If they have they actively must dislike our club.
It might do but short term (this season) it's not going to change. Sancho doesn't 'definitely' start under any manager with our options and if he did there would only be complaints that Greenwood, Rashford, Cavani or others aren't playing instead.
At a big club like Madrid players come in and earn their place, sometimes not holding down a place for years. At man United for some reason we have fans like you who cry and cry when Donny van de beek and Sancho are dropped after contributing nothing. People say the manager has lowered fans expectations, if that is true it is most evident in the demands for favourite players to play regardless of form.
I also think he should go but not sure how you can have too many issues with yesterday's performance and result...
I think any other manager who wants an RW puts Sancho there immediately. If he then loses the place that’s fine but you can’t look at how he played for Dortmund and not start him over all the other players we have.
Yep, fans don't want simeone because of his awful football and fans criticized Mourinho's tactics and player preferences and yet ole had us playing 352 with 3 centre backs, 2 fullbacks, 2 defensive midfielders, 1 creative player in bruno and 2 big target like strikers in their mid thirties Whilst playing on the counter, you couldn't get any more Mourinho with that player selection, formation and tactics but it's excusable when ole does it because united DNA all that rubbish.So this is the United DNA that Ole inners were talking about? The free flowing attacking football?
“We don’t want Conte as he’s too defensive and doesn’t know the United way”, yet we call this an amazing performance
Very debatable he's better than Greenwood as RW option, and where would that leave him if he was.
Agree to disagree. Greenwood is terrible defensively, he’s a striker for me.
They scored 3So this is the United DNA that Ole inners were talking about? The free flowing attacking football?

It was self preservation, 3 attack minded players in our 11. It worked yesterday but if thats the result of 3 years in the job, after spending hundreds of millions, my god, its depressing. Fill the team with defenders and grafters and hope for the best. He's an absolute fraud, what comes out of his mouth and what he shows on the pitch couldnt be further apart. We'r where we were with Jose but with a miles better squad of players...Most of which he cant get a tune out of.
No it won't, we're already through the looking glass. Do you think people on here, in the ground or at board level are going to accept a slide back to the way we've been playing at the start of the season? The only way Solskjaer saves his job now is by going on a huge unbeaten run where we thrash teams, and if he manages that then he deserves to keep his job.
nuno is now favourites above ole to be the next manager to leave… they had what we had last weekend all the fans leaving early. What I don’t want to happen is have a good run and everyone will have there hopes up for us to then start losing against teams we should be winning and missing out on top 4 with no trophy this season, so when we are after a new manager next season our options will be limited because they’ll be no champions league football.I don't get the ignorance. No one is saying he's a bad signing or he won't live up to expectations. But it is a worry that we spent 2 seasons trying to sign him, yet have no idea on how to play him. It's Manchester United, when you sign a world class player for 80 million you will get critiqued. What do you expect ? You don't sign an 80 million player to wait 1 or 2 seasons so he can eventually start when Cavani leaves. That's an absolute joke and an absolute waste of resources.
