Might be a long time till the next CL-game. Absolutely ridiculous starting Matic and McT together in midfield. The Telles, Shaw and Williams subs made no fecking sense what so ever.

Williams really looked lost and out of his depth and I actually like the lad.

 

[tjb]

If people haven't been watching, I honestly believe Pogba and Matic being so poor to start the season destroyed the tactics we had at the end of last season. So, Ole felt the need to abandon it, but has really struggled to implement something else. It's caused a lot of inconsistency.

This campaign wasn't on the players imo. Normally I'm always on the side of the manager, but I honestly feel Ole's tactics have cost us this season more than anything after the first 3 games ( I put that down to lack of fitness and preparation). I think we have a lot of quality in attack and are actually decent enough in defence ( i feel the system changes have been the problem in this regard). Our midfield has been really unsettled and inconsistent so far. We really need to stablize quickly or move on from Ole.

 

[Chicharo]

Based on what? He did nothing, after doing nothing in the last game we played.

I disagree, we looked much better in midfield with him. Nevertheless we needed someone to start either him or Pogba, not to start the game with two DM.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Hahahaha ofcourse Rio and Scholes blame De Gea and defend slowest and most overrated defender in the history of PL. Good to be English!

Of course.

 

[Real Name]

What was that fullbacks subs all about, as if that would get us back in the game. Mental.

 

[Dan600]

Here’s praying PSG get docked points for game abandoned, even though they are doing the right thing...

Just making light eh...

Still go back to Istanbul, that was the game.

 

[Ferguson’s Hairdryer]

Maguire on TV... doesn’t even know if United were playing in a 3 or 5... whatever you want to call it.

 

[Al-T]

Utterly depressing on so many levels.

OGS will always be a legend as a player, but he's pitifully exposed tactically.

De Gea and Maguire. Just FFS. Pair of White Elephants.

Rashford needs to watch what Cavani does and learn.

Effing Europa league again. Gash.

 

[rooneyberbatov]

Our players lack brains and so do our coaches. It's not an easy fix.

 

[Forevergiggs1]

Why no Ighalo?

Because Axel and TFM were obviously better choices when we were pushing for a goal.

 

[mu4c_20le]

For the first time since his appointment, and with a heavy heart, I'm calling for Ole's head. I desperately wanted him to be successful here but it's clearer every day he never will be. Tactically inferior and apparently unable to motivate our players. This team is less than the sum of its parts and that shouldn't be the case.

Calm down, walk away, then come back in a few hours and rethink it. We are still 6th in the league and were not expected to progress from this group when it was first announced.

 

[rooney2009]

What a crap night
It’s the hope that kills you
I was ok with 3-0 but 3-2 is just too painful

 

[kouroux]

And a DM so we never have to play McTominay ever again.

That too. We need 5-6 players overall

 

[Tapori]

We're approaching Cygan levels of stupidity in defence at crucial moments. A few can be forgiven but when the pressure is on we constantly get outthought. Ole needs to send them on even Andy Townsend's tactics truck and LEARN TO READ THE PLAY>

 

[pablotatt]

Sack him just for those fecking subs. Williams for an unfit Shaw after you've hooked a fit Telles?!! And 2 defenders for 2 defenders when you're 0-3?! The guy hasn't got a fecking clue. The players know it. Most of us know it. It's just a shame that out board aren't football people..

 

[Enfant terrible]

We need a new manager

We had a mastermind coach before Ole. There aren't many better out there. God can't help us with what we're conceding. We werent outplayed. +We can't score sitters

 

[Tapori]

Mark Noble? Tom Huddlestone?

Nonsense.
For me it's JONJO SHELVEY

 

[Bobade]

I was simultaneously fuming and gutted during the game, but after only a few minutes reflection I already can almost chuckle at how bad that was. I doubt I will see a worse performance from this team this season, so that is something I guess.

 

[Gordon S]

Tired of europa league, can not be bothered.
Just tired of getting hopes up, trying to stay positive. Tired

 

[Galactic]

The big part of the problem was Matic.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

United fan on Talksport now saying they didn't even have a striker, but we had three CB's marking nobody.

 

[El Zoido]

Total disaster. Don’t really know what to say. No defending Ole, but we were sub-par from top to bottom.

 

[FrankDrebin]

Maguire on TV... doesn’t even know if United were playing in a 3 or 5... whatever you want to call it.

He's still traumatized from going all Streets Of Rage in Greece.

 

[Jaqen H'ghar]

I don't believe for a moment that Pogba was sidelined for "tactical reasons". Otherwise after his performance in the second half at the weekend, he would be on the pitch. Undoubtedly. For me, it is obvious it was not tactical, and all to do with his mouthpiece Raola saying that he is unhappy at United on the eve of this game. So he should not even be in the squad.

He played well, but we still fell short. I'd rather we sent out the message that we're moved on already. Annoying that he is puts in decent performances like this when he has a point to prove, but can't be bothered otherwise.

I can't fault the manager for the formation, 3 at the back was a sensible thing to do, and it's ironic that it's the sloppy defense that ended up costing us.

I have no interest whatsoever in watching us play in the Europa.

 

[Cpt Negative]

I didn’t watch the game but it sounds like Spanish Mike Dean had another masterclass

3 second half goals,9 subs, a penalty and a VAR review and they give 4 minutes

 

[Livewire1974]

2 out our starting eleven would be in contention for a place in a team from the last 16.

 

[dabeast]

Referee was biased against us in the first half but whole officiating crew's pure ability was also not upto the standards of the PL.

 

[wolvored]

Bruno came and said he hadnt come for the money but to win trophies. He will be putting in a transfer request by summer.

 

[Tapori]

Sack him just for those fecking subs. Williams for an unfit Shaw after you've hooked a fit Telles?!! And 2 defenders for 2 defenders when you're 0-3?! The guy hasn't got a fecking clue. The players know it. Most of us know it. It's just a shame that out board aren't football people..

I get the defensive subs, at the end, but the Telles Shaw Williams merry-go-round was worryingly confused.

 

[Tibs]

Had a feeling we would love with that shitty line up and formation.

5 defenders and 2 DMs and westill can't defend....so how about we play with more attacking intent from the start, rather than waiting to go 2 down.

Ole is not the man who will lead us to trophies.

 

[Devil may care]

I'm so pissed off, I sat stewing all game at the feckery i was witnessing and then it's the hope that finishes you off. Trash defending, not enough quality or mobility in midfield, game was a disaster class.

 

[sammsky1]

Need to watch that first 25 mins again as I still have no idea why it all happened. Was it a tactical cock up by Ole or did our players just royally fcuk it up? I remember seeing many occasions where our 3 cbs were just marking space with only 1 Leipzig defender on our D. With 7 defensive players, how do Leipzig fullbacks get so much space they can directly pass to each other???

small note to Pogba who I thought have a brilliant cameo.

 

[Judas]

The subs literally changed the game

Yep TFM, amazing stuff.

 

[Tapori]

Referee was biased against us in the first half but whole officiating crew's pure ability was also not upto the standards of the PL.

There is one key point when towards the end a good ref plays on with Brun on the right as (Mensah?) gets fouled.

 

[Red00012]

He won't.
We'll play our next game and probably win and he'll live to continue the fight.

City next at home

 

[Withnail]

Why on earth did we throw fecking TFM and Tuanzebe in? Absolutely bizzare, at least use Ighalo or someone like that.

I think he thought the game was gone.

Then when we got back into it TFM was an absolute liability.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Bruno came and said he hadnt come for the money but to win trophies. He will be putting in a transfer request by summer.

Unless we get a manager who is capable of making Manchester United winning trophies.

 

[Slevs]

Thanks for 99 Ole but seriously just leave.

Sick of his inept face.

 

[FreakyJim]

50mil right back and 80m centre back, one can't run, the other can't do anything bar "tackling"

 

[Reynoldo]

That full back merry go round was mind boggling. How do we end up with Williams on? It’s like a really crap game of musical chairs
