Solskjaer:" I hope I can pick from a fully fit squad. It might be that I’m without two or three, and Bruno [Fernandes] might be one of them that might be a doubt but he’s doing everything he can to be ready."

Solskjær: "We do have two or three carrying knocks [ahead of the Liverpool game]. I'll give everyone time and I hope I can pick from a fully fit squad it might be that I’m without two or three and yes, Bruno might be one of them that might be a doubt."
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 2:01pm On Oct 22, 2021
Solskjær: "It [win against Atalanta] was a great effort and great atmosphere towards the end, another one of the great Champions League nights at Old Trafford. A great comeback, which will bring some knocks and bruises, which normally you will expect.”
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 2:14pm On Oct 22, 2021
Solskjær asked about Cristiano Ronaldo and Mohamed Salah: “I'll always back Cristiano in any competition, he's unique and his goalscoring record has been fantastic but that being said Salah is at the moment on fire.”
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 2:14pm On Oct 22, 2021
Solskjær: “You see some of the goals he's [Salah] scored lately, we know we have to be at our best to defend against him. Players like this don't come along very often.”
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 2:15pm On Oct 22, 2021
Solskjær: “I'm a big admirer of the front line they've [Liverpool] had for many years now. Mane, Firmino, maybe Jota will play, they are players you have to focus on and you have to be nailed on for 95 mins to keep a clean sheet."
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 2:15pm On Oct 22, 2021
Solskjær: “Fred is a very good player, he's a regular for Brazil, which in itself is a mark of quality, he's got an exceptional personality and attitude to football — I can't say if he's gonna be fit or not but he'll give everything he can to be there for us.”
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 2:16pm On Oct 22, 2021
Solskjær: “He's [Fred] sharp, he's nimble, he gets to players, he's never afraid. The development he's made in the last two and a half years I've been here has been great to watch.”
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 2:16pm On Oct 22, 2021
Solskjær: “It showed when he got injured last season, six to eight-week injury and he was back the day before the Europa League final, joined the training session, strapped him up for the game.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 2:18pm On Oct 22, 2021
Solskjær: “De Gea one of the best goalkeepers in the world? David is up there, for sure. We'll play against one, Alisson is one of the top ones to be fair but I've seen the mindset since David came back in early. He's got his tail up again, it's a joy to work with.”

Ole Gunnar Solskjær on Donny van de Beek's situation:

"At the moment it is hard, I understand Donny. He is frustrated, he is disappointed. I know he is not happy but he is a top professional! He doesn't let himself down and he knows this is how it works in football."
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 2:23pm On Oct 22, 2021
grin

Solskjær: “I enjoy managing, I enjoy this life. And I always say to my players, being a Man Utd player, being given the privilege, honour, responsibility to wear the shirt and step out onto the pitch against Liverpool, you give everything you have”.


..... and Carragher said Ole no know ball?!

Bruno Fernandes: "We believe in our coach and our staff. We need to do what the coach tells us because our coach is the maximum exponent of what we must respect."

You wonder why Lads are playing like Academy Players, especially in the U12 Category? Here you have it.
The remaining part of the quote from Bruno about Ole....

"He has been here for three years and we’ve done good things. It’s true that we haven’t won anything up to now, but the team has shown it has grown a lot.

"We have a lot to improve on and the coach also knows there has to be some improvement at their end but that is part of football. Every day we are learning something new. But football is the present and it’s the now."

Bruno is saying the coaching department has to improve, that's a ballsy move right there...(Considering he said it to the media)..

I trust egbon Dayo to come with how Rio Ferdinand and John Terry were both disaster for the three Lions. grin

He cannot and he knows Stam is levels above Vidic.

Vidic was still in the jungles of Serbia learning rondo when Stam won UEFA defender of the year for two seasons in a row.

Stam did 3 seasons in the PL and won a PL title in each season including the TREBLE. Alex Ferguson actually said selling him was his biggest regret in his 26 years of managing Man Utd. Stam was that imperious.

United couldn’t find a solution to the gaping hole left by Stam. They paid £30m(record fee) for Rio in 2002 to try and close the hole, Rio alone couldn’t do it. They signed Laurent Blanc to partner Rio to close the hole, it didn’t work.

It wasn’t until Vidic was signed that the hole got closed. Now, this is the tricky part. The sum of the parts of Rio and Vidic is overwhelmingly greater than both and that tends to confuse people that they are the greatest individually.

Their partnership is arguably the greatest in Europe, the individuals(not so much). The duo only closed the hole left by one amazing center-half(Jaap Stam). Stam had no weakness. He was faster than prime Rio, stronger than Van Dijk, he was aerially reliable like Vidic.

The partnership of Rio/Vidic is the most talked about thing of their greatness whereas Stam was a one-man army that destroyed PL opponents for 3 years straight before SAF sold him to Lazio.

I'm split mehn. I want Ole to succeed, yet it's obvious he doesn't have the technicality to get the best out of the team he assembled, just isn't good enough. I won't defend him anymore like I used to, but I have a soft spot for him still.

Sancho came from a team that use to press very well but since he joined us, he has learnt the bad habit...

I don't even want to put it on Ronaldo because at 36 I don't expect him to be running around...Messi at Barcelona hardly ever presses but still Barcelona had a very coordinated press, one of the best ever...

We are just badly coached.

There was enough faults to pass around but the bulk of it lay on Ole's table. There are many systems that can accommodate the failures of those players and still succeed. He couldn't find one.

Vidic wasn’t better than John Terry.

Vidic is probably the best in the PL aerially. He sticks his head into anything flying in the air but he lacks the composure and the close control Rio had on the ball.

Terry was a monster aerially and on ground. There was a time Terry was impregnable for like 3 seasons in a row. Nothing got past him - he was even using his hands to stop shots back then.

I don’t do sentiments. I saw prime Vidic got totally destroyed by Torres, Eto’o, Yakubu, etc. Prime Terry was never ever humiliated that way. I would even put prime Carvalho in the top 5.

Terry was always covered by a hardworking partner in Carvalho, Terry is the greatest scam in football, he is solely responsible for Chelseas failures in Europe. ALmost every CL ouster has a Terry error in it. When we ask what is Terrys biggest attribute we start hearing leadership like he is a politician

Its not a coincidence that Chelsea finally won when Terry was suspended even though he put on full kit and shinpads to sit in the crowd
