BangrakBob Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 4 hours ago, ChipButty said: Ole was a supersub as a player, tactically smart to quickly exploit spotted weaknesses and surprising opponents. But he was never good enough to be a consistent starter, maybe because a starter is more about consistency and quality within the team structure. It seems like his managing career is following in the same pattern. Great caretaker, identifying what was missing (culture and attitude) sparking a fantastic run, but not consistent and good enough within a (missing) structure as a permanent manager. The most effective sub I've ever seen, but if as you say, and I do agree....why has he been given so much money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owl sees all Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Why do the United knockers still keep at it? Just a blip in a long season. They won at the Iron's gaff a few weeks back didn't they? Spurs had their dodgy spell; let in three goals for three matches running. Now they are right back up there. The Gunners also started poorly too. Liverpool only took two points from six recently. Don't hear their fans shouting for a change in leadership. The one criticism I've got with United is that too many of their players seem to be simply going through the motions. Can't win every game; but can always gIve 100% 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the fact they don't comment on anything else football related or have their own team. That to me spells one thing..... sad, sad people that thrive off the shortcomings of others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make a lot of good points and your point about "too many precious superstars upfront and in midfield who do near zero defensive work" is spot on and mirrors exactly what was said on the BBC iPlayer Match of the Day commentary after the game. They have been short of a couple of good midfielders for some time now and it shows, and certainly did on Saturdays match against Leicester, because without some good defensive midfield players the defence are put under pressure, and I would have to say that they are not the strongest defensive outfit anyway. I thought the signing of Donny was going to be a good move, but he's hardly got a look in??? For my money, Ole is a man without a plan, however I don't know who could take his place at the moment because I believe United lost their chance a while back. Maybe my granny could help out.

Did Ronaldo really fit into the plans he had for this season? Or was the transfer essentially a combination of old boys wanting him back (Fergie, Rio etc) and the marketing benefits on offer? The problem with being a puppet manager is that you struggle to implement your plan because you are dealing with so many outside influences. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem with dropping Bruno. Nobody should be undroppable. Nobody is un droppable but in Fernandes case he is one of a small group of players over the years that can do very little in a game and then turn on a bit of magic like the pass he played for Rashford against Atlanta. Very few MU players, with the exception maybe of Pogba, would have the skill and vision to make it. Its so frustrating but my memory of Cantona is similar, would do nothing and then create a magical pass or goal. I read somewhere that Pogba, another constant frustrater, leads the league in assists this season but my hope is for Ronaldo, Fernandes and Pogba to be all ,for once, on song together, could it be Sunday ?

ChipButty Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Regardless what happens with the attacking-midfield trio, Cristiano Ronaldo is assured to lead the line and look to try and spearhead United's attempt to get the better of Liverpool in a Premier League clash for the first time in more than three-and-a-half years. Fred if fit Rashford if fit Bruno if fit 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
