Ok arab...

Football is a results game first and foremost.. despite what you think.
At the minute we are second, and above what many expected.

It's much easier to change the way you are playing when results are going your way than vice versa
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How come teams with lesser resources than us can play better and string a few passes together then?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We can... but some games things do not go to plan.. players have off games.. it happens.

Newcastle have also played a lot less games than us this season... a season where games are being crammed in at a crazy rate
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Some games? We’ve literally been playing like a team of farmers for the best part of 6 months now. How many games can you say we deserved to win for playing better than the opponent?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Genuine question... why do you bother watching...you're clearly not enjoying it.. so why bother?

We're 2nd because of the players we have.

No one can point to anything on the pitch as being well coached.

This is the same bog standard reply that the likes of Robb peddled out with Jose. Answer the question, how many games have we played better than the opponent in the league this season?

1 defeat in 19

Got to find something to cry about I suppose
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We went undefeated for about 25 games in Jose’s first season, I remember lots of complaints from the same people that can’t seem to want to critique the club legend in charge of us.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There’s plenty of things to be critical of the manage for, same as there’s plenty of things you can praise him for

The trick is to look at things with a level head

When you see things like “best team lost” and suchlike after a hard fought but thoroughly deserved win then it looks a bit desperate

Ole just said we need to up the tempo in the post match interview, he’s said this in nearly every one this season. Thoughts?

Jose's style differs greatly from how we play now. Games every 3 games every 8 days non stop, will lead to strange results due to fatigue.... look at home awesome the championship is... for this reason.. it is a war of attrition and we are second on merit, nothing more, nothing less!

Yep, and yet the Ole fans think we’ve got crap players actually.

Does it matter?

We are sat second.

You can point to the games where we have fallen behind, but the fact is we have shown desire and the balls to win those games and comeback from going behind.

"We played better football after the lockdown last season"

I think this is overstated a little, we had probably 5 or 6 good performances and then dropped off quite quickly. This season saw us start terribly but then pick up results without playing great but with some very nice moments here and there. Even if the football hasn't been the best (most of the time) it's impressive how we are picking up points.

How many teams have had more possession than is this season?

Up till the 80th minute of the game Newcastle had more shots on target than us Earl. They looked a better coached side than us. Says it all.

The majority of their efforts were pot shots from distance ffs.
Other than 5 minutes in the second half they offered nothing

Hahahahaha.

They didn't play in Europe in Turin on Thursday night though did they?

We did enough. That's all that matters. Wasn't a bad performance and wasn't a vintage one. 3pts and we move on.

In the second half that is

Cool, so you guys think that position in the league excuses the manager and coaches inadequacy in getting us to resemble an attractive football team.

Getting to the reason why they can’t critique him, but they never did this with Jose or Van Gaal even though they had us high up the table at times too.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Which teams with lesser resources are playing better?

We have the fourth highest average number of passes and fourth highest pass completion in the PL.

Only City, Liverpool and Chelsea above us in both categories.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Whoa whoa whoa sunshine. Stop dealing in facts. We'll have none of that here thank you very much!

Maybe Bruce could ask the FA to let their games end at the 80 minute mark, maybe they’ll avoid relegation

Doesn’t say it all though, does it, because with Pogba, McT and Cavani out, having out-shot the opposition, having played nearly three times as many passes, having had 3/4 of the possession, we won the game fairly comfortably in the end and are second in the league.

Favourable Decisions, in literally every match....

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nail on the head.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We're the biggest club in the world so we should be getting favourable decisions.

Deal with it

And yet I've seen numerous posts over the months doing just that. You just choose to ignore them.

Mourinho had you 2nd in 17/18 and you spent the entire season slagging him off because of style of play.

Your excuse was that Mourinho lost in the cl last 16 round... Ole went out at the group stages
