VillaChris Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Amazing after all this time they still have Jones and Smalling as regular centre halves. Along with Ashley Young and a few others they've have been bombed out ages ago if Fergie was still in charge. Young and Jones were actually going to be out of contract and they both got new deals given by the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I'm still amazed that Rashford and Martial are both regular starters for them. You could get away with having one young, developing striker in the side that's got potential but doesn't score many goals, but two of them? For a side that still pretends they think they should be challenging at the top, there's an awful lot of mediocrity in that squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rashford had a really good run when OGS turned up but he also has many anonymous games at CF. Martial is one of those players who throws in random performances. Really depends what side of the bed he wakes up on matchday. His performance was a disgrace. Refused to track back for a couple of Everton goals and laughable dive at the end.

Nowhere near enough to sack him, but he doesn't get the job after this if they'd waited until the end of the season. Perfect. Must admit to finding it very funny. I rarely watch Premier League but it’s never a bad time to chuckle at United. Last 9 games, 2 Wins, Conceeded 19....... Its just our luck to be out that League when they’ve had their turmoil. Well just get back and Fergie will take back over from his old folks home and they’ll start beating us every time again...... 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very rare you see an elite club buying more than 2-3 players in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Huge mistake to have given him the job. No experience as a top flight manager except for his failure at Cardiff. Now do they stick or twist at the end of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said it when he was appointed. When a team has stopped playing for a manager, and that manager has an extremely disciplined, drilled, boring style then all a manager needs to do when he comes in is let the players off their leashes. Let them express themselves. That bounce gets great performances for a while. It's after that bounce that a manager's ability is tested. It's why Solksjaer as an interim probably wasn't a bad choice. Solksjaer as a permanent probably would be a bad choice. It was exactly the same with Sherwood here. We'd had Lambert who had regressed into this ultra defensive, boring manager and the players were restricted by the awful style and had lost faith in the manager. Sherwood came in, put his arm round everyone, told them to go out and be creative and let them loose and we had some success. The following season when that bounce wore off he didn't have a **** clue how to address it. Pardew has the same effect when he goes into clubs. Harnesses that bounce and then can't address the slide. Said this in January. I must admit there was a little while there when I thought I was wrong. But now it seems pretty accurate again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted April 21, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 21, 2019 I wouldn't be surprised in this mad world of football that he is let go at the end of the season. This summer is huge for them. They will be looking at signing half a new team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 But but, it was Barca they said. Yep, definitely on for 'the next Sherwood', he's absolutely clueless, a glorified cheerleader. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I am loving it. I do hope it turns nasty soon. Fans running onto pitch*. Banners. Verbal abuse and boos please.

His "I am going to be successful here and there are players who won’t be part of that" comments reminded me of when Sherwood called our players "losers". Let's be honest, OGS is the very definition of a 'nothing manager' based on his career, totally out of his depth at this level. He got a great response from them initially but as that wears off you're left with someone who is absolutely clueless tactically and unable to find other motivational strategies outside of the one he deployed when he first joined the club. If United want to challenge for anything again they need a proper manager, someone like Pochetitno. Edited April 21, 2019 by Dr_Pangloss 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really is a garbage player who seldom delivers, the fact he's in that squad shows you how far they've fallen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute dud He's a massively glorified Mario Balotelli. In the VT section of the site, we're bemoaning wasting money on Nyland. They spent £90m on this whopper. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
