Match Day Thread Istanbul v Manchester United

Midweek CL game so we will play fantastic, fast and free-flowing football and win 0 - 5. The team chosen to pull off this miracle is -

Henderson, Wan-Bissaka, Tuanzebe, Maguire, Shaw, Matic, Mata, Van de Beek, Fernandes, Rashford, Martial.

Subs; De Gea, Fosu-Mensah, Lindelof, Mengi, Williams, Fred, James, McTominay, Pogba, Cavani, Greenwood, Ighalo

 

Cancel that .........

 

We've turned up like it's a formality. The goal was a perfect example of that. The arrogance of not even bothering to mark or check Demba Ba.

And our whole attack has been flicks and cruyff turns ffs treating them like mugs. And they're not mugs.

Bloody hell what is the mentality in our team like.

I still expect us to win but this is poor.

 

All so predictable. Everything down the left.

 

Another game we can't string more than 2 passes together. Embarassing.

 

Can't believe he actually hooked Tuanzebe because he made a mistake. And put the lumbering log Matic at centre half.

Maguire and Lindelof would never be on the ****ing pitch if he treated them the same way.

Absolutely piss poor management, once again.

Way to give young players confidence.

 

Mata is having a really poor game.

 

This is so bad there are no words.

We haven't come close to troubling their goal (bar the header).

 

Matic is a liability

 

Ole's whole philosophy is counter attack football.

Come up against a side who sit back OR if we go a goal behind, and there is absolutely zero tactical nous.

 

We need to sign a mature defender like that Rafael guy.

 

Can we all please now agree he's not good enough?

Let's think about the club before the individual. He needs to go.

I hope he resigns, or any good will he has left from the fans is gone.

 

I think it is very difficult for Ole to 'feel' the current mood. Normally there would be a vocal reaction from fans (another aspect to the various effects of empty stadiums) and he would feel that. Instead he is somewhat insulated from that so he may take a little longer to sense the mood. Woody will have his finger on the trigger during the weekend's Everton game.

 

Possibly but he must sense surely he's taken the team as far as he can? Brighton, Spurs, Chelsea, Arsenal and now tonight. He's got to know whatever he believed it wasnt good enough and he's not up to the job.

Agree about the Everton game. He's gone if we lose that. The international break allows Woody time to get Poch in.

 

If he survives tonight, he goes on Saturday after losing to Everton.

It would be typical Solskjaer United to win at Everton though.

You know, like we used to. Every ****ing time.

 

I'd also hope he walks.

He must know!!

 

How did the manager and the coaching staff sit on the bench and allow the team to lose it’s shape for that first goal? It is comical!

Ole shouldn’t be the manager in the morning after that. But hey, I’m sure Woodward will wait until the next game in “hope” that our season kicks off from there.
