The Tierney story was run by 365 football and parroted by the sun.

About as reliable as a 1985 Lada.

60K a week for an exciting young English player, already doing bits in the premier league and with bags of potential is completely reasonable.

Bit slow to get going and still not ironed out random errors gifting opposition decent chances entirely, but that winter break and Dubai camp clearly paid off as far as work on the offensive side of things bearing fruit goes. Some nice football and the 2nd goal was lurrrrvely. Just need to put a few wins together now and making it a habit.

Great to see Ceballos pinging balls about as well, and the players on the team sheet you'd be demanding goals from actually getting them. Got a fairly decent run of games coming up so hopefully can tot up some points and improve that goal difference.

Was hoping Ighalo would start, be interesting to watch Bruno again though.

Pretty defensive line up from Solskjaer. I cant see us getting anything from this game. I'm guessing the game plan will be to keep it tight and nick a goal.

If we lose this there has to be a lot of pressure to sack him. We are slowly falling into mid-table again and Solksjaer must take a lot of the blame for that.

100%, whatever happens tonight it's just a matter of time IMO, he's not suited.

Have you seen the forward line we are fielding tonight?

Fernandes is already on a different level to the rest of the team. Shame you can't pass to yourself...

Was just about to say the same.

To blame tonights result and recent ones on Solskjaer. Our best player and highest goal scorer is out injured, our only world class player is out injured and our most improved upcoming player is also out injured.

This entire season has been poor from Solskjaer. I have no faith in him, nothing to do with tonight. We're 9th at the moment for goodness sake!

The difference between 10th and fourth can change in two games!

Maguire should be off for that

Robbo · 17 Feb 2020 at 20:22

What the hell is Maguire doing there? Where's VAR... idiot.

adam cool dude · 17 Feb 2020 at 20:22

How we are setup would be nice to see Ighalo and Martial together. James is just out of his depth recently.

I really want to see Ighalo!

We have had Rashford for most of the season and he has carried us so much. We have relied on him and a couple of other players to save us time after time. Thats poor management. You could put Messi in the worst managed side in the world and he would score goals. That doesn't mean the manager isn't ****.

Ole has been nothing but poor all season. Hes done nothing to give the club any reason to think he is a long term appointment that will make us a top team again.

Maybe I see Solskjaer doing the best with what he has.

One thing is for sure we are missing Rashford and they are missing Abraham.

Talk to any cardiff fan and see what they have to say about him. From what I have heard, his time at United has mirrored his time at Cardiff really well.

Out of interest, where would we need to be for you to think Ole wasn't doing the best that could be expected with this squad? If we lose a few more games we could be around 14th-15th place.
