His De Gea fascination is insane. I didn't mind him starting tonight as he did well against Roma but when it goes to penalties you sub on your best keeper at saving penalties. De Gea is like one of the worst keepers we had in our history while Henderson is like near the best.
Sort of reminds me of the Dutch situation in 2014. You have a keeper who can't save penalties vs one that can. Both shootouts showed one poor keeper at penalties and one great keeper at penalties.
I had already resigned to the fact the only way Villareal wouldn't score from a penalty was if they missed it. I reckon the Villareal players were told by Emery just hit the target and you know De Gea will move out the way or not get to it as he is making it easy for them. The fact they could hit it in the middle so many times and De Gea already had dived out the way.
So penalties De Gea would move out the way and then stop while there keeper was always moving at the right time. Our penalties were better than a lot of theres.
Ole doesn't learn from his mistakes. Its like everything is telling him to sub De Gea for the shootout. Henderson is main reason we got so far anyway.
If you actually look at it, all 3 of last season semi-final defeats were mainly down to poor finishing and poor goalkeeping.

Time for Ole to go

This must be it for his national career. Spain will not take someone who cannot stop one penalty out of 11.
IMO the worst part is he didn’t try any mind game tactics keepers usually use in penalty shootouts. He just walked into the goal and dived out of the way.

Nah keep him please. Never gonna win a trophy with him in charge
So embarrassing after the millions you have spent you can't even turn up for a final against Villarreal. You can sign as many players as you want it will make no difference whilst you have a second rate manager at the helm.

Why do you and the other Wolves fan who frequents our board act like we are your rivals? You seem to take a lot of pleasure from us losing. We don't give a crap about your Tinpot club like nobody else does. Our C team wiped the floor with you at the weekend. 😂
You need to stay in your lane. Staying up in the PL. 😂
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Who said anything about a rivalry(though granted neither of us are winning trophies any time soon)?
More a post laughing at the fact some of you still think Ole is the right choice when it is clear he is out of his depth.

So Fred should have had the winning penalty. I knew De Gea is a liability. He should be fined his wages.

Well I changed my mind, Ole can have this season with Ronaldo and if he doesn’t deliver then it will be time to change managers. He has no excuses really.

Well after Watford game no manager deserves to stay especially after a shocking run we have been on.
Ole has like the best squad we had since SAF left and made us look so hopeless it is insane. Reminds me of when Jose was sacked, we looked completely hopeless then.
Ole has been found out by opposition managers and as he doesn’t want to adapt but keep picking his favourites it has cost his job.

The only good thing Ole did was get us in the CL in back to back league seasons but that was mainly due to Fernandes.
Even Fernandes completely lost the plot in recent weeks.

Those back to back CL finishes allowed us to get players like Ronaldo and Varane.
