I’m glad that he can just move on after such a complete humiliation by our fiercest rivals. A win over a terrible Spurs side and a draw against Atalanta and he’s safe and secure again! Hopefully we can build from this and mount a real challenge for that last top 4 spot now…
Ole's press conference vs City
- Thread starter Dante
- Start date
I'd love to see Donny ring up and ask a question to Ole 
We almost never start games on the front foot.
Moan moan moan, Ole this, Ole that, moan moan moan.
Can you ever remember a press conference pretty much anywhere that wasn't just standard bullshit and waffle?
Jesus, some of you lot are going to have aneurysms if you carry on getting angry and shit like this.

PR exercise is about the height of it for most press conferences. By now no-one is expecting a Gettysburg address or Third Soliloquy type speech.
Hope this is his last one. The lindelof quote is pathetic
Please, please, please let this be this final press conference at the club.
Moved on from Liverpool defeat and we have had a good week?
How come I have completely different feeling? Are we talking about the same Man Utd?

Weirdly enough, every Pep conference is the opposite. He gets slammed with incisive questions.
There's not a single conference where Pep isn't exasperated by some probing angle. Ole definitely gets it easy. Guaranteed.

Soliloquy.
Love that word.
Nah man, YOLO. People are pissed because he's acting like everything is sunshine and lollipops when we are playing absolute garbage and stuttering through a season that we were expected to make a title challenge.
This says a lot about why we keep rushing players back. Most players would say they're fine to play when in reality they're better off taking a while off to recover.
To be fair Victor supposedly played though a painful back problem for a good chunk of last season so that could be the root of Ole's comment here.
The Lindelof quote is a bit concerning, especially with Varane coming back from injury to immediately getting injured, and Maguire playing while cleary unfit.
"we have to work hard and suffer a lot but we have to believe, trust ourselves because we're at home and have had a couple of good few results." What the feck? Suffer? It's like we're the minnows playing a giant. We're feckin United. And a few good results? Lately? Really?
His only desire is to continue to be paid massive amounts of money and he will say anything to make sure the board has an excuse to keep him
"We've moved on"
What does this actually mean?
What does this actually mean?
"work hard and suffer" - it means you have to put in effort and feel the burn not just show up like we're fecking United and expect the points. The league isn't like that anymore, it's not 1998.
What a delusional post yet again.
There's two main reasons why his press conferences are boring and a tiresome listen.
First, the club is trying to manage the questions to a level which political parties would blush at which is of course helped by myopic logic as seen in your post.
Second, our manager is completely clueless when it comes to the technical aspects of the game, as demonstrated by his answers. If he ever gets asked about tactics, he just talks about passion, desire and United DNA or other some such studipity.
So don't come here playing the top red when the press conferences are a symptom of just how inept he is.
So now players decide whether they are fit or not? No wonder we rush back everyone from injuries
Please give us a break.
Maybe he should've said we still have a massive mental blockage after the Liverpool defeat and will now brick ourselves every game.
You take a defeat on the chin, (hopefully) learn from it and move on. Or let's just overanalyse every sentence...
Ole stumble upon 532 system that worked against Spurs. But didn't work against Atlanta.
And now so many CBs are injured so is he going back to the formation we played against Liverpool? God please help us.

Are you making this up?
But isn't that obvious and the case for literally any game in the prem? Our manager should be talking with confidence, bravado and authority. He is lowering fan expectations so when we inevitably get our asses handed to us he can say "we gave it a good go but didn't get the luck. Fine margins."
Yes but have we moved on from Leicester, or Villa, or Everton. One win after such a bad run of results is not moving on. He clearly believes because we won against Spurs he is safe again. The scary thing is that our board probably think the same.
They went out to lunch at some restaurant.
"It's a special one, the last time we had a Manchester derby with fans in the stadium the atmosphere was electric, everyone will still remember that one more than dark moments we had.
"When Scott (McTominay) scored that goal in the extra time it was a special moment. It's a one-off game, have to start on the front foot, start ready, because a lot depends on who gets on the front foot
So that means Mc is playing with Fred
"With all the technology now you expect him to be out for four or five weeks with the scans with the pictures we've seen of him. It's a blow for us. Raphael has come in and been really really influential. Eric came in last time and was excellent. That's why we have a big squad and cope with absentees."
That's why you play a half fit Maguire and rush back Varane
What else would you expect him to say really? Press conferences the land over are 99% heavily media trained people regurgitating banalities and cliches that somehow give some in here aneurysms and stoke bizarre conspiracy theories about all of the nation's press being in the idea of taking it easy on Ole for a laugh.
Nail, hammer.
I agree that press conferences can generally be a load of nonsense, but every other interview with a rival manager I've watched includes some form of tactical analysis. Ole avoids it at every approach and resorts to the whole passion spiel. It's so infuriating to listen to because you know it's evidence in how we play.
I admit I was convinced in Ole at one point and really hoped he'd kick on, but we've been dire this season but for those individual moments. His pressers are so uninspiring and highlight nothing of our playstyle which is seemingly non-existent.
Pretty average considering that this was his last presser.
Were they allowed chips?
We appear to go into a lot of matches with the attitude of we're fecking United and end up dropping points because teams don't roll over for us anymore. So it doesn't seem that obvious, no.
That it happened but it serves no one any function to dwell on it. There is no way everyone here doesnt know that's what he meant.
A bit like showing up for work complaining about last weeks bad effort instead of focusing on the current week.
I think the flaw is in the lack of adequate tactical nous and coaching from Ole and his mates, not in our attitude.
To avoid relegation
Hope he starts Sancho and Donny gives them a chance to make a name for themselves. If we play Mcfred again we will be flattened.
He's right. Tom Cato might be an Ole sympathizer but can't dwell on bad results too long, only serves to make you less confident.
