ManU very much 2nd best. a catalog of embarrassing errors and poor play which Eve took advantage as they should can't single out one thing or one player - it was all bad from the start, they look a very tired disjointed team that have lost the will to play football - I wonder what they think when they look at their fat bank accounts every month - do they realise why they are getting huge sums of money ? - it doesn't seem so 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nev Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Well didn't think we could get any worse and we have, This turn in fortune happened just after Ole got the job full-time, I reckon we had a manager coming in and the players knew this and seeing Ole get the job they have downed tools since, well done of them. I maybe wrong but something fishy is going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bredbury Blue Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Is that 10 out of 11 wins as caretaker manager and six out of eight losses as Manager? Ole's at the wheel, tell me how good does it feel? He's got the job and gone on the piss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to look at the big picture here because I think that's where the problems lay. United have bought badly over the past years and even when they had a chance to sign the likes of Virgil van Dijk, they declined because he was too expensive yet the likes of Sanchez and others were brought into the side. Although I have seen Matic play some good games, he has been off form for a while now and as for Pogba, well he looks like he would rather be playing for someone else. And the age of the players that Maureen was trying to sign, or who did come into the side was not what I believe United needed. It appears that Maureen's tenure turned out to be toxic in the end, but that was to be expected as it happened at Chelsea, however it doesn't detract from the fact that he really didn't sign one outstanding player, apart from Pogba who has proven to be a bit of a fizzer. Now look at the overall scenario after Maureen went – – sure United snapped out of their lethargy and seemed to be doing something under OGS's tutelage, but was that just a rebound effect. United are one of the most respected and biggest clubs in the world and in my opinion the appointment of OGS to the role of manager was premature and driven mainly by emotion and the joy of some short-term results. When you look at it, United should have been in the market for one of the best managers in the world, instead they settled for an ex-player who hadn't really made any impact whatsoever as a manager on any side up until he took on the short term role at United – – short-term thinking when they should have been looking at the big picture and at the market in general. In addition, where other clubs were signing players who have turned out to be stars, United are saddled with players who cannot produce – – the midfield is devoid of playmakers and the front runners do not know how to lose their markers and as for a midfield playmaker, forget it because Pogba hasn't lived up to that and anyway even if he was on form, he has nothing around him to play off. I wonder how much influence the Glazers or Ed Woodward have had on the signings over the past few years and the money which should have/could have been spent. There is no getting away from it, but this performance epitomised a disjointed team and IMO a clear out is needed, but it's very difficult to get rid of about eight or 10 players who are surplus to requirements, and to spend the money needed to be able to put a good side together. Finally what has happened to the Academy/youth players who should be pushing for places? Once United were a side who could bring those youngsters through, but have failed miserably in this regard in the past few years. From an extremely disappointed United fan who has supported them since 1956, but having said that they are still my side and they will come right given time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaiLai Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 It'll be interesting to see who leaves when they don't make the top 4. You would think Pogba De Gea Rashford ( maybe ) Sanchez Young / Matic are both past it now as well to cut the mustard in that league week in week out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bredbury Blue Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) Funny team Everton, every time I've watched them this season they've been decent but they're 15 points behind ManU in 7th but looked way better. I like the young lad up front, particularly like Gomes, just don't rate Pickford and the centrebacks.

RickG16 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Leaving people's domestic life aside (and yes I have bored a few girls with football in my time, but I would never go as far as buying them a matching scooter)..... I remember a time early on in the Jose era when things were at quite a low ebb. We were playing City at home midweek in the League Cup. When asked what his tactics were, Jose just said he asked the players to give 100% commitment, nothing more. We won the game. Let's hope Ole can find the right words to galvanise this team.

RickG16 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I believe it is as much as what's wrong in the dressing room as what's on the pitch. City owe their success just as much to people like Kompany as they do Aguero and Sterling etc. Real man who are real leaders and can set an example. It wasn't an enjoyable watch but I could see how important they were from the City documentary. I like Ashley Young but I can't see a gobby right back in the twilight of his career as commanding that much respect. I don't care if we have to pay top dollar... we need proper leaders and those who have experience playing for the biggest clubs. People in the Zlatan mould. Or even Bale.

RickG16 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 ..... and if we don't have leaders now, how about the fearlessness of youth? What about giving Greenwood a run out in midweek? But please let's ditch Smallling / Jones as a partnership for good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll find a fly on the wall documentary at a Premier League club is a little rarer than a standard game. And I do watch city pretty regularly now, because they are an interesting team to watch. If they were in 5th I wouldn't be as bothered. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
