We are an awfully coached team

If we are getting dominated by a decent to good team, at home, then definitely there are problems with coaching.
 
We simply cannot handle the press, our players are slow on the ball and pedestrian. Youd think wed have this nailed as most teams deploy pressing tactics these days..
 
Watching on a stream that pauses every 10 seconds only makes this more frustrating to watch. Can see this half is going to drift away.
 
This damn obsession from the club and many fans of being so hung up on tradition and past history has been holding this club back since fergie left.
 
Slowly losing patience with Ole now.. his inability to control games is becoming a real problem, simply not good enough for a team that's supposed to be challenging for the Champions League.
 
Since getting Ronaldo, your general play has got even worse.

The thing is: I like Ole. A lot. But something is simply not working, and after all this time and money if it's not working by now, it's never going to.
 
Ole is a completely clueless tactician. There's nothing. He doesn't know what he's doing. Everything achieved so far has been because of having better players than most other teams.
 
We've got to do something to counter their 3-5-2. Typically Ole wont have the answers.
 
It’s normal to see this kind of performance now. It’s criminal to be this bad with so many good players in the team.
 
Ole needs to go. Conte or Zidane it is.

We needed to be proactive and sack Ole earlier and hire an up and coming manager. But it is what it is.

Hes just really bad at his job. Some see this as progression, though.
 
He needs sacking ASAP. We're winning nothing with Ole and not even playing anything remotely decent. Even if we win this has been abysmal.
 
I think this game might be the turning point for me. We've looked absolutely clueless.
 
If we score a winner, the usual suspects will come in here to pile on with ridicule and laugh reacts... As if it negates any of the points made in this thread.
 
He’s a Championship level coach… this is, and always has been obvious though.

Imagine these players with a proper coach in charge of them…

He was shocking at that level too. Ask any Cardiff fan what they think of him
 
I still insist this squad has potential to win the biggest trophies but will never do as long as our average performances are this bad.

We're literally only missing Rashford from this behemoth of a squad and we're getting prime Barcelona'd against a team that lost their best player to City this year.
 
With the squad we have now, his limitations as a manager are really beginning to be exposed.

We were outplayed by Moyes twice in a week, what do you expect?
 
We may well win this game, because we have much better players.

But performances like today are exactly the sort reflected in last season's stats, where the league winners had an xG difference of +24 more than us. Meaning their general play was sufficiently better than ours to be the equivalent of 24 projected goals over the course of the season. Which is a lot.

You can't keep relying on your better players to bail out your general play with their sheer quality, even if you are continually improving the quality of your players. It doesn't mean we'll never win or never play well, we just don't have a consistent enough standard of performances to build a title win on as games like today will go against us too often.

That needed to improve this season. And, thus far, it hasn't.
