This is going to be back and forth for as long as he is manager because the team is good enough to get results but he is not good enough to make them consistent. I absolutely adored the player growing up and he’s a good manager - but not Utd level.
We need a manager, not a world class former played turned good manager but a world class manager.
We’re probably two maybe three players away from a serious title challenge.
I’ve been a Utd fan since 1983. How long have you supported us? I can’t go through those days again and with ole we won’t ever be a dominant force. If your expectations are that with the team he has we lose to palace and Sheff Utd, maybe you should raise your standards and demand his head too.

Need at least 5 players. An actual RW, a DM, 2 CB, a RB that can actually defend. Not to mention Pogba is gone, so he'll need replacing too. So that's 6 players. With how this board is don't hold you breath. We are still waiting for a proper RW for how many years? The only way this club spends is if we don't get CL. If we finish top 4 with this side, I really hope no one expects actual strengthen. We'll get what we got when we signed VDB, a player that wasn't at all needed when we could have spent the money going after a position or player that was actually a need
Ole should be looking for a leader and a brave defender to play alongside Maguire. We have all seen how one player, Bruno, can elevate a team to a higher order. This team needs a player to glue the defense, in a similar way Bruno has been in attack. However, I'm afraid this needs a huge stroke of luck as much as scouting.

Wow. This is genius.
How did nobody think of this before?
Damn you Ed Woodward.... We need a world class manager. Doh!
How about Louis van Gaal, he has won everything there was to win in the club game... doesn't get more world class than that...
no wait!!! Wait.
Jose Mouirnho. He's won the title at EVERY club he's ever been at. And he knows the Premier League inside out. It doesn't get more world class than Jose. Get him in.
You're a genius RedRobed. GENE. EEE. USSSSS!
Too early to apologise, as i said. Top 4 is the best we can hope for with him

consistently dropping points the past month or soNot good enough to make them consistent?
We’ve lost one league game since November. Putting a 13 game run together without a loss. If that was City everyone would be acclaiming them the greatest team the premier league has ever seen!
Our problems pretty clear. We’re a centre half and a Right Winger short of challenging. Our only option on the right is a 19 year old kid!
Why does Ole insist on playing Lindelof when Bailly is fit?
I have never changed my mind.
Even when we have a good run of results, our performances leave a lot to be desired.
We cam do better than him.
You can tell how many fans on here keep flip flopping on their decision. I have always remained consistent throughout. Ole job has been saved numerous time by the quality of players we had and the individual brilliance they produce. Even Gary Neville would admit that as an ardent supporter of Ole. Ole has this weird knack of providing many false dawn, which fools a lot of supporters. However, only few can see through it.
The biggest indicator this season should be how we went out in the champions league. From such a comfortable position, it took a real bottle job for us to get out of the group stage. Ole has never changed my opinion and he is still the same ole that I have always seen as a manager. He does well in providing a friendly atmosphere, which makes the player produce at critical interval, but that is not enough. We need a top manager that understands how to make these players play without relying so much on individual brilliance and more on cohesive, interplay team football.
Not happy with the performance and his choices on who to play but I'm happy with him finishing and replacing our RCB and RW before we judge him.
Sounds to me like you want the best squad in the world just to compensate for a below par manager.Not happy with the performance and his choices on who to play but I'm happy with him finishing and replacing our RCB and RW before we judge him.
If we only play on individuality no one can pretend like we have enough of it.
Bruno, Shaw, Maguire, Rashford and maybe Pogba and Wan Bissaka.
We got a long way to go until we set up 11 individual players with excess ability- I'm happy to wait for that.
This is a terrifying post considering that Ole's £135m solutions to the RB and LCB problems.

We're 2nd looking down to a top 4 battle instead of pushing for first place.And yet we're still second!!
Only one team that's shown consistency in the last few months and that's City, hence the reason they are top by a long way.
So people claim we have an awful defense, poor goal keeper, need a right winger and an out and out goalscorer, yet we somehow find ourselves the second best team in the league?Sounds to me like you want the best squad in the world just to compensate for a below par manager.

All this despite having a poor manager?!
Strange when you actually think about it eh?
We we're never in a title race,We're 2nd looking down to a top 4 battle instead of pushing for first place.
Losses against the bottom 2 and a late equaliser allowed against Everton. Win those games and We're still top.
Bottlers.

So we should be top of the league yeah?Not all that strange. Most of our players underperform under Ole. Especially our forwards.

What do you mean we weren't in a title race? We were first 2 weeks ago with games against Sheffield United, a poor arsenal, Everton and wba in our next 4!We we're never in a title race,
What was our aim at the start of the season? Top three, maybe a domestic trophy? Both of which are achievable still.
To think we could match City with the squad we have compared to the squad they have in a Covid impacted season is just bizarre.
This season is another step forward, we still have a way to go but we are definitely closer to where we need to be.
Surely no-one can deny that?
