it's easier to defend and sit back than to break down teams. The fact is Utd cannot break down teams that sit back.

Would not be surprised if you lost comfortably at Norwich

Yet we pressed for a good 55 minutes and were aggressive without conceding. We sat back towards the end of the game and conceded.

A massive hole in your crappy theory!

I wasn't a fan of it during the summer, but perhaps Bale on loan in January could provide what we need v the smaller clubs. A moment of brilliance to break the deadlock which forces teams to then come out. I'm not sure on his situation at Real though

He’s rejected two or three times, for that reason Ole won’t be in for him. He apparently stopped deals for Dybala and Eriksen happening because their hearts weren’t in it.

Wouldn't be a huge surprise if we lost to Norwich, we're a mess, especially away from home. However, Norwich aren't exactly a sit back and defend sort of team now are they?

Hopefully Pogba and Martial are back by then as well. If they are, we’ll win in my opinion. If Tuanzebe and Shaw are fit, I’d be very confident.

Did he reject us, I didn't actually know that beyond the rumour mill. I dunno he could be after a knew lease of life after the last year or so at Madrid. Ole may see that as a positive

If it were easy to get 8 from 12 against those sides, why isn't everybody doing it?

All the games were at Old Trafford first of all. You won;t get a single point from these games in the reverse fixtures.I would be worried that you are 13th and still have all these big away games to play

Ole has turned us into a West Ham kinda side who raise our game against the big sides but have no idea how to play against the smaller sides

And it’s those games that will probably get him the sack. As the earlier poster said, it’s easier to get something out of the bigger games with such primitive tactics like counter attacking but is that really the side we want to become? I would expect it under Jose but not someone like Ole who is supposed to be bringing us a pressing game that doesn’t rely on the lottery of the counter attack and is so predictable against the smaller sides who know we offer nothing when they don’t give us space

Ole has been at the club 6 months Robb, he hasn't turned us into anything yet.

posted on 21/10/19

He’s been at the club for nearly a year and hasn’t really improved us at all if we’re honest. If anything it’s going backwards.

That's what tends to happen when you average 6 injuries every game week and you don't improve the side.

Every club has injuries

Have you not seen the things he’s done wrong with the players he’s had though? Do injuries mean he has to play Pogba in a two?

If you think counter attacking football is simply a "lottery" you don't know much about football and the history of United under Sir Alex Ferguson

Yet last season Ole secured 3pts away at Spurs, wins in the FA Cup away at Arsenal and Chelsea and 3pts Away at Leicester.

I’m certain you don’t know what you’re talking about.

Yet his tactics against the smaller sides were effective during his first few months. Of course you will have a reason for this to suit your own agenda... something like “it was the honeymoon period” or some other nonsensical bollox which will explain away the reality of the hard work behind the scenes.

Hard work behind the scenes? πŸ˜‚

There was a new manager bounce. The players felt so repressed by Jose they exploded when he left and results came but if you remember around Jan onwards the signs that things weren’t so great started to appear and we started to struggle like against Palace and Burnley and even the Spurs game where we were hugely fortunate to win that game.

Then after we lost against Arsenal it messed up the confidence of the players and we’ve struggled ever since. We weren’t even that great yesterday and I suspect it was more an off day for Liverpool than an on day for us. After 70 mins Ole bottled it and we almost asked for Liverpool to score.

Ahhh the “new manager bounce” that old chest nut. The BTEC “honeymoon period”.

Your customary sucking off of Liverpool is also included, they didn’t play well because we didn’t let them. We were aggressive and they couldn’t play. It’s really simple to see if you don’t have an agenda.

I have said a few times that our problems over the years has been the amount of injuries we get. The only season post SAF we didn't get major injuries constantly was the season we finished 2nd.

Its worse this season as we don't have the players in place to step up, weakest being midfield and after Martial in CF (if we're saying Rashford is a wide forward) we have no direct back up for that position.

We need to add quality as well as build depth. Though in my mind the best thing we can do is sort out this injury crisis we always tend to get.

Other than Arsenal I don't think any other team has suffered as many iniuries as we have (we had the highest last season).

robb
if you don't like the team atm why not disappear for little while. your constant whining like a little b tch is getting boring now. same repetitive articles and comments every time we play.

you will always find a flaw with ogs even if we win our next four games you will find something else to whine about
