Eph, you are an hypocrite. Please tell me the improvement you’ve seen in our pattern of play and the trophies we’ve won. We all lambasted Mou for not doing well with our playing pattern and suggested that he use the resources available to him.

Now you are defending Ole for doing the same things we castigated Mou for because he is a club legend.

You are very unfair and unreasonable. Quite unfortunate that another brother has become an olesexual convert.

Enjoy your new found religion and love.

Oleout!

If Patrick is going to insist that we don't have players to compete next season which means we didn't have players to compete this season, then I'm going to insist that our coach tried with what he achieved this season

Maybe he made a mistake. OGS has spent 300m on this team. He bought the players on the bench, why is he not using them? I would not subscribe to saying we don’t have players, does not make sense.

This team can win something tangible, we need one or two additions to compete for the EPL and UCL. Simple!

Nobody lamented when Mou was winning, stop lying unnecessarily.

Nobody lamented? are you sure?

Reference:

We go long to Felliani......

We played negative football....

We parked the bus and hit them on counter even against small teams.....

Felliani played as a striker......

We scored 1 and defended......

eph12:
We were never in danger of conceding goal until the last 10 minutes and the extra time. We had issues with the attack and not the DM

We have/had issues with OLE.

A fvcking super sub during his playing days but hate using his bench

eph12:

We didn't have problem with the DM na. Abi is it not this last final we're talking about here? What was Matic supposed to do that didn't happen? Abi na DM go create and score goals?

McTominay might not been been responsible for their goal but that guy is bang average, I counted more than 4-5 times he should have passed the ball but he rather runs with the ball close to the player he intends to pass to because he doesn't trust his passing...

nitrogen:


Handelex, maybe you were not here. Many people were against Miu’s tactics and style even though he won some trophies. Only the Mou fanboys continued to support him.

You guys need to stop this sh1t.

Let me repeat, Mourinho’s first season that we won Carabao and Europa league, nobody complained, we were all happy and celebrated those cups. The complaints started at the end of his second season when we went trophyless and finished 2nd.

MRTA7:
If the rumours about Oblak is remotely possible I'm willing to add my own money to the cash+DDG for Oblak fund.

He’s the only GK that can displace De Gea with my blessings.

All those Henderson talks replacing DDG is just BS. Henderson hasn’t done enough to replace DDG. If you remove the British hype, Henderson isn’t even better than Pickford.

I would have Nick Pope of Burnley before Henderson. It’s this kind of dubious theory that got Ole Solskjaer at United. One should not replace a world class GK with a rookie like Henderson who’s got nothing to his name yet.

At least when De Gea was replacing Van Der Sar, he had already won Europa and SuperCup for Atletico at the tender age of 21. Henderson’s club achievements are just runner-ups on steroids. Nothing concrete to show he’s a winner. He should be #3 at best.

You are wrong. Go check previous posts. Maybe you started complaining at the end of his second season, some of us started at the end of first/beginning of second season.

Pickford better than Henderson to you.

What Henderson achieved with Sheffield United last season, Pickford can't smell it with Everton.

29 years old Nick Pope that is useless with anything related to using his leg(kicks and saves).

Lets wait for Henderson's career status at 29.

Go to Chelsea thread and i’m sure you’ll find some comments on matcha days criticizing but not Tuchelout, it’s normal.

After Mourinho’s first season with us where you shouting JoseOUT with the 2 trophies he won?

Yeah I agree with this assessment. We have a very good team that is running on vibes. Nobody can convince me otherwise

I agree here. I don't what he was thinking. Emery made his subs and his players came at us in the last 30 minutes or so. Ole had no answer

That's Leicester City, they are not in our class, normally, a Leicester fab should be more than satisfied with a 5th place finish, they're seriously punching above their weight...

You think if Brendan Rodgers was coach of Chelsea he'll be their manager as we type now?

You have a penchant for comparing apples and oranges...We spend more on transfer fees and wages, have better facilities at Carrington yet your benchmark when talking about Manchester United is Arsenal and Leicester...My God, wetin I dey read for here!

So many holes in this argument.

He’s a rapacious mercenary, a devourer, a thief.

There’s a difference between club legends who thought they could manage their clubs AND a devourer who knows he’s shit at the job but wants to keep holding on to the job.

Gattuso and Duncan Ferguson are club legends.

Ole is an armed robber.

Confirmed armed robber

handelex:
Someone can have a nuanced view like Eph12 and guys will confuse him as an Olesexual because he hasn’t called Ole derogatory names.

Olephobes can attack Olesexuals all they want and call them all the names in this world it doesn’t change the simple fact that only the board can sack Ole.

I think Patrick overdoes it sometimes.

Early on in the season i and him had a long overdrawn argument about our squad. He said our squad is on par with City’s and should be contending for the league. I told him our squad isn’t on City’s level.

Recently he has been criticizing the same squad for not being good enough.

Ole Solskjaer has a good number of faults but even Pep needed a capable squad to become a serial winner; to challenge on all fronts, go far and win.

Patrick sticking to his one tenet: Ole is a fraud and should be sacked ASAP (without offering a reasonable replacement option), has got him wavering on other fronts and blaming the coach for things that don’t concern him outrightly.

eph12:

FWIW, Matic was the one who was beaten by a 1-2 pass in midfield that created the space for Tielemans to hit a powerful shot into the net after we’ve drawn level with Leicester (1-1) following Fred’s assist to Kelechi earlier on.

We need quality competition in many places. But the coach is at fault. So. Okay.

In that stvpid final, where we needed change was the attack, never the defence or midfield.

Now we have

James
Mata
Diallo

I personally would have thrown in diallo or mata

But then again, wetin Dem for do against a Villarreal team who's only objective was park the bus.

Rashford in any way didn't deserve to play for 40 mins

Made foyth look like prime dani Alves

I think Ole is the one instructing him to run with the ball before he makes the pass. Ole should tell him to stop doing that. What a horrible coach.

Sorry, couldn’t resist

Complaints started during that second season when we stopped keeping up with City and the football went to shiiiiitttt.

By the third season everyone wanted to have a go at him because he was singling out players for castigation in public.

Pogba was class in that final, I give that to him.

No, I selected him and stuck with him...

When you were mocking Nagelsmann here, who was it targeted at? So much for he didn't suggest an alternative...

We might not have a squad as large as City but if we do a review of the season, you'd see we faltered against teams who have no business taking a point off us...Palace and Sheffield I can mention off my head and at other times we foolishly conceded late goals to Everton and Leicester...

We went to Anfield and should have won but we were told Liverpool are blah blah b lah until Burnley and every other team went there and laid them...

Ole didn't make good use of his bench...How come we shut out PSG with Tuanzebe putting up a MOTM performance yet same player is considered trash by you lots...

Pray tell, do you think Ole managed the game against Villarreal well?

Shouldn’t have started Greenwood for me. He should’ve been the quality bench option that will provide a change in the second half.

Plus there were too many scorers and few creators.

Pogba was left alone to do all the work in midfield- build from back, create chances, dictate play and even run after opposition players and defend. The rest were hiding and looking for goal chances.

Rashford was playing the same way he’s been playing for months. Shiitt

Cavani did well and was starved of chances. He’s the only attacker who played well for me.

Bruno di foker disappeared all through the game. I expected him to come to midfield and help out at least. But he was busy doing what not and looking for a tap in or whatever. Had Bruno decided to be a creator and not a scorer we’d have gotten more better chances.

McTominay decided to limit himself. He hid from passes and hardly threatened.

That Olé decided to proceed with the rubbish, after telling all of them to do as many interviews as possible and “enjoy” the final, is beyond me.

I mean, Villarreal were hardly playing. What’s wrong with bringing in a few pass-first players EARLY ON IN THE SECOND HALF to change things?? Why wait till 100 mins before making a sub? He’s quite daft in that regard.

Utd had enough quality to win that final by +2 goal margin.

He takes the blame for exiting the UCL and most of it for losing this final. He’s a dumbo.

The first 10 mins after our goal, United took the game to them Patrick, almost scoring on 2 occasions, but after then we relaxed and they resumed parking the bus.

As much as OGS is a modafvcker, Villarreal came to play a penalty shootout.

Abeg miss me please...What is so difficult for you to understand that our key players were overused hence they ran out of gas and the fact we need to sign players who can deputize of take their place?

In other positions, we need outright replacement, e.g. Cb, RW and DM...However, I still insist we had the sqaud to trounce Villarreal...If you want to be sarcastic, do so without referencing me except I am your standard...

Bruno choose to play as a SS...

Wan-Bissaka couldn't make the most of all the space he had...

In spite of all, Ole didn't make a change for 90mins...That's criminal.
