Great performance. Not changed my mind though.
So you'd be happy to see Ole sacked in the morning?

Zero sense to you and perhaps others of the blind faith persuasion. You still did not answer questions such as whether any other elite club would put up with this. And what makes you think (other than blind faith) that Ole will change things. What makes you think he will suddenly imprint a style of play on the team which he has not been able to do in about a year? Which a certain Klopp you named did in a few months, then got the personnel as he desired and made his team a machine. But for you it's not Ole it's the players. First the right players have to be brought in then the style of play will come right? Whatever happened at Villa is of no consequence to me because iirc Villa have won zero trophies since your stated miracle happened and neither is their football being hailed as pathbreaking unfortunately. Come up with something logical as to why we should persist with Ole. Try leaving out the below if we want to have a meaningful non-zero sense discussion
1. Legend
2. Class of 92 team member
3. Legend
4. Patience is key
5. We are not a sacking club
6. We are still not mathematically out of Europa spots.
7. Players are shit
8. Pogba is shit
9. Legend
10. Injuries
11. Did I mention Legend?
So true.Still in the Etihad had to post this
. We rocked the Etihad today the boys where unreal . That's for every one of the clowns on here crying everyday to get our manager sacked . Back your team back your manager and give him time to build his own team .
MANCHESTER IS RED !!!!
Poll question is not that. I for example, before these 2 games against Spurs and City wanted Ole sacked immediately but now I am ok giving him some more time. I still think he should not be our manager next season though.So you'd be happy to see Ole sacked in the morning?
We do have a short squad but I dont think thats the main reason why Ole hasn’t been able to get us playing good football consistently.
Pereira is freaking awful, and Mata feck doesn’t even have the physicality to play in the MLS.
After a win ?
1-1 Liverpool
3-1 Norwich
0-1 Bournemouth
3-1 Brighton
3-3 Sheffield U
2-2 Aston Villa
2-1 Tottenham
2-1 Man City
Does a manager deserve to get sacked after that ?
We have won 4 out of 7
We have scored 12 goals in the last 5
We have beaten Chelsea, Tottenham and City
We should have beaten both Arsenal and Liverpool
14/18 points against chelsea, leicester, arsenal, liverpool, spurs and city
10/30 points against wolves, palace, southampton, west ham, newcastle, norwich, bournemouth, brighton, sheff utd and aston villa
So it's pretty simple, if we keep this form going through the next four games, three of which should be bankers (Everton H, Watford A, Newcastle H, Burnley A), then Ole will have bought himself the January transfer window and the rest of the season to stake his claim.
Everton and Watford will be tough with the new managers, but really we should be winning these games. Watching Burnley that should be a easy three points.

I haven't seen anything to change my mind
Yes I would be. Seen this movie plenty of times.So you'd be happy to see Ole sacked in the morning?
This.I like how when people are not happy with a long run of games they’re called knee jerk but then are told they should change their votes after a few good wins.
Right?These last two results have hurt alot of 'fans', not just the Spurs and City ones but some United ones....
Right?
tragic state of our support.
At times this season it has seemed we don’t have a midfield. But Fred and McT seem to be growing into the job. If we get Pogba back and let him play as the most advanced midfielder, we just might get the consistency we have been missing, and climb back into CL spots.
How very Dare you! I've never needed glassesYou should buy some new glasses or see some ophthalmologists I guess.
The rest of our December fixtures look good on paper. Everton (h), Watford (a), Newcastle (h), Burnley (a)
A good chance to prove this isn't another false dawn and we can be consistent against teams we should be expected to beat.
Hopefully we will, but the Pogba issue seems kind of shady I think we will inevitably lose him in the summer.
These are exactly the sort of games that will **** us over. None of them will come to play expansive football.
I can totally see us drawing or losing up to 3 of those games if we are not well prepared
I don't have much faith either but if we manage to come out of this period unscathed it will go a long way for Ole gaining back support and trust in his methods. We're only 5 points off Chelsea who have to travel to Spurs and Arsenal this month so a good chance to close the gap.
I would have more hope in the bottom 3 teams taking points off Chelsea than that spineless Arsenal team. Jose no doubt will want to beat ChelseaI don't have much faith either but if we manage to come out of this period unscathed it will go a long way for Ole gaining back support and trust in his methods. We're only 5 points off Chelsea who have to travel to Spurs and Arsenal this month so a good chance to close the gap.
My top 4 hopes are on Pogba.
10 is our weakest position this season with Lingard, Pereira and Mata all being rather unexciting so to have a player who has it in his locker to pull out moments of magic when the attack is looking impotent is just what we need.
