nope, me too, could’ve really stuck the knife in

 

[Robbo]

I'm not saying Ole should stay but the timing of when he goes isn't ideal. If you had an easier run of games coming up then he'd be gone by tonight but with a tricky run maybe it's better to let Ole play those games out and make the change after Chelsea. That gives any new manager a better run to start with.

I think in that case, it's still better to get rid of him and just leave Phelan in charge for a bit (although he's also useless).

Ole being in charge as we lose game after game will just affect his legacy with the club and fans, and the players probably don't like him either.

Neville is really hurting

 

[The_One]

neville still defending ole unbelievable

The buck stops with the Glazers, it doesn't matter who we get in as manager we need them gone.

 

[Robbo]

Neville will never call for Ole's head so we just have to read between the lines. Hopefully Carragher will lay into Ole instead.

The buck stops with the Glazers, it doesn't matter who we get in as manager we need them gone.

It's true, but the Glazers have spent money and tried to provide a team capable of what the fans expect. This is purely a coaching issue at the moment.

The squad isn't perfectly balanced but it's good enough.

Henderson's pass for our 5th was incredible. I remember Gerrard playing a similar pass to Sturridge many years ago and that was right up there.

Fulham falling over one in 13/14 ? He made it looked better with the dramatic lunge for it

Get hammered 0-5 at home by your biggest Rivals. That Captains interview had 0 emotion, anger frustration to it.

Would he motivate you if he was your captain??

That's the one.

 

[Calpol]

It's sad really as he's hugely gifted.

Odd though that United haven't managed to get it out of him on many occasions. I'm not a fan - I think he's been a big part of the problem at Old Trafford and would have sold him 2 years ago.

Honestly this talk about how strong a squad United have. They start with "McFred" and Maguire ffs.

But literally the only thing they're really badly missing is a holding midfielder, and they should have spent the Sancho money on one. There are far, far worse squads performing far, far better than this United one

 

[Mark1989]

Ole is so dull

 

[Robbo]

Ole looks like he's done to be honest.

It's more complicated than just a holding mid. When you look at Rashford, Sancho and Greenwood, they wouldn't look out of place playing for us wide in a 4-3-3 but then they've got Fernandes that wants/needs to play in a 4-2-3-1. You can't really fit Pogba into a 4-2-3-1 and then there's the Ronaldo issue. You only have to listen to Neville talking about needing to play Cavani alongside Ronaldo - where the hell are Utd playing Fernandes/Pogba and all those wide forwards with a front 2?

The squad is unbalanced.

 

[fez]

Ignoring literally every other argument, this here should be what sees him sacked.

 

[Robbo]

Neville talking garbage, "the club will stick with him whatever." He knows for a fact that isn't true.

 

[C Kent]

Neville had man u finishing above Liverpool, loves to change his mind doesn't he
