Popular Post ChipButty Posted October 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2021 Sorry, but how is any of this better than the end of Mourinho’s reign…? It’s toxic. Clearly it is. With Mourinho, Utd at least got 2 trophies out of it. The Solskjær era is in great danger of undoing ANY good it *might’ve* previously achieved and ending up Utd’s worst post SAF appointment. Moyes was done within 6 months. LvG brought possession, boredom and a trophy. Mourinho brought 2 trophies and the best PL season before meltdown. Solskjær has been backed with half a billion, and not really achieved anything tangible. And now it’s clear that the dressing room is broken and toxic. People need to start calling it as it is - for the sake of the club if nothing else. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbojangles Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 At least with Mourinho you knew what style he played and so all Ole had to do was "dismantle" the parked bus. As so many pundits have said nobody knows what strategy or style Ole is playing. So yeah, I agree, there is nothing to dismantle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChipButty Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 How have Manchester United become a club full of people ‘learning on the job’? Manchester United were humiliated by Liverpool in what was their 'worst result in Premier League history' at the weekend, leaving Ole Gunnar Solskjaer staring down the barrel. So how have United allowed the club to be run by inexperienced figures across the board? How is there such a void between them and Liverpool? And is the idea that Solskjaer has restored some of the old club traditions a 'myth'? This is a section taken from the latest episode of The Athletic Football Podcast... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now no Pogba for the next 3 games, Nice one Paul, Maguire is having a mere but Ole will stick with him, Shaw is not upto it at the moment, Back 3 of Maguire Lindaflopp and Bailly That's fine... Conte plays 3 at the back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suddenly the schedule was changed and the Atalanta game was shown. Due on again at 22:00(Thai time). I wonder which game they'll find to show instead????? 22:00.....They're reduced to showing a game against Newcastle from 2012/13????

It's a pity he doesn't know how to handle players and tactics, which would result in a win and be key in stopping the "awkward questions" in press conferences! He has shown signs of a "meltdown" in a couple of recent after match interviews, and that is not a good sign. Let's face it United need an overhaul, from the boardroom through to the players, with the harsh realisation that there are players in that team who just are not fit for purpose, not to mention the debacle that is DVB, or indeed the disturbing influence of Pogba, who should have gone a while ago, but who will have lost some of his value due to his recent poor performances. The January transfer window is looming, and hopefully United can offload a whole bunch of players, that is provided that they have got rid of the manager as well, because it's no use having good players if the person who directs the play doesn't have a clue. I'm afraid it's going to take time and United won't be in amongst the "medals" this year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balo Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 That's whats going on inside Ole's head. 'We are United, its in our DNA.' Meaning Kick the ball, run, kick the ball again, we are getting close now........kick and run, pass to Rash and he will score, maybe Ronaldo , not sure really. Maybe ask Carrick.

Norway have come up with some good managers in the last 5 years, Knutsen is one of them, his team just beat Mourinho's Roma 6-1 a few days ago, a shock result in Europe. He will end up in a bigger club for sure. Our new national coach Solbakken are also highly rated. They both have good tactical skills to change games and it works for them. They are the new modern managers in football, trying to copy the best managers like Klopp and Pep. Btw Solbakken is best mate with Brentford boss Thomas Frank, they know each other from Denmark and share the same philosophy. Solskjaer? Not sure really. A legend as a player and will be remembered for that 100 years from now. Edited October 28, 2021 by balo 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
