It's basically Steve Bruce football. Give yourself a platform but basically when an attack breaks down run fast forward and exploit. Except he has some of the most exciting attackers in the world and not Snodgrass . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is close to finished isn't he? 4 goals in 4 games says he can still do what he’s paid to, so far. Need to see after 15 / 20 games if he’s still banging them in.

You have to judge after a reasonable amount of games before writing him off. He’s hired by United to do 2 things. Score goals and give them worldwide exposure. He’s doing both so far. Would have probably got 5 in 5 if he’d have taken the pen today. Edited September 25, 2021 by Genie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 I can't believe people thought they are were geniune title contenders. OGS is and has always been out of his depth. Managing in Norway and getting Cardiff relegated is not really a resume to manage United. He got the job as he was a good player for them.Chelsea did that with fat frank and then sacked him off and got a proper manager in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted September 25, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted September 25, 2021 It’s kinda abstract and difficult to articulate (so whether it’s a fair comment is another matter), but when I see Klopp, Pep, Tuchel, actually not just those managers but a lot of the ones outside of the top six, I see a sort of resolve. That they’re here to win, they have confidence in themselves to get a result. They may well be a dick about it, but there’s a confidence there. I never really pick up a similar vibe from Ole. I don’t think he’s terrible, he just has the air of someone who’s somehow been allowed to stay up late with the grown ups and he’s anxious about being rumbled. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His general play is absolutely woeful and I think united are a far stronger team without him. If anything stats are becoming more important in football. The thing is we are now measuring more stuff than just goals/assists per game. The Ronaldo stuff is interesting because he's going to score a lot of goals this season, but then Manchester United always score a lot of goals. They got 73 in the Premier League last year without Ronaldo in the squad, and I'm not sure he''ll make an overall net increase in their attacking power. He needs big goals in big games to justify the money they are spending on him, or it's Juventus all over again where his numbers are good individually but often to the detriment of the team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His results haven't been too bad so really he's the premier league clone of Southgate in many ways. On face of it decent results on the whole but lacks that extra ruthlessness or mentality someone like Antonio Conte has who they'll probably target for next season.

StewieGriffin Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 No team with title aspirations would have Fred or McTominay on the bench, let alone starting them both in the same game at home. Signing Ronaldo was baffling when that money could have gone towards fixing their midfield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Bringing in Ronaldo papers over the midfield cracks. Bang average manager, still hasn’t moved the needle despite all that transfer budget. Classless baby. Hilarious post-match today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
