Rossi IRL

I'd nearly start playing a 5221/3421 Formation, might be worth a shot

De Gea

Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Tuanzebe, Young

McTominay, Fred,

James, Rashford,

Martial

Lets us use Tuanzebe while the midfield is diabolical

Rayne Wooney

McTom Pereira Fred
James Martial Rashford

That’ll be the front 6, which is why we are 5/1 at home

Is there anything to be said for the manager devising a tactical plan and effectively implementing it? Win the game that way?

Ah, who am I kidding.

Think about it.

Ole is cheap and is probably willing to do whatever they want in terms of running the squad. A manager who won’t challange them and whose strategy (if it is indeed his strategy) will lead to a much lower wage structure and generally buying younger players whose value will be retained or go up. They can throw in the odd maguire signing to hit the headlines and counter their overall money ball type strategy.

Because the club is so rich, the funds they spend sound astronomical. But relativeto the funds available to most clubs we don’t spend a lot and our wage structure is only higher then spurs in relation to revenue.

This basically means that whole the headline “United biggest wage bill” sounds impressive , the club is actually investing the least in the league proportionate to what it can afford.

Now spending is probably not the biggest problem, it’s how we spend it, so I’m not suggesting we keep paying more. I’m just pointing out that the club can afford a lot more then it’s spending so people don’t try to make out our owners push the boat out because headline figures sound good.

A coherently functioning football team or something?????

I’d try a 9-0-1 formation with Fellaini up front. Just keep clearing it out of defence to him. I suppose we don’t have Fellani so maybe just a straight forward 10-0-0 formation.

I've long since passed the point where I think this group can step up for a big game.

I think we're going to get slaughtered today. 4 or 5 tbh. We got our asses kicked last year in this fixture, and we're signifcantly weaker now than we were then.

In the 0-0?

Ye were probably the better team that day, especially with the injuries.

Drumpot

God the more you think about it the more it makes sense.

Make Ole manager, popular with fans , easy to control and cheap as chips. Also means his mate pundits (former united players) will most likely be less critical. Gary Neville shifts his attention to Woodward in maybe an unexpected turn of events (surely they wouldn’t turn on the man who put Ole in charge?!) and he reaches out to get Neville onside. Neville has a massive influence on united sentiments and up until Ole was generally a good person to critically analyse the club.

Woodward is pr everywhere it seems now, he must be feeling the pressure himself hopefully, he has really ****ed us footballing wise

Regards how we score....

I think we should employ the beach ball tactic that worked wonders for Sunderland, the 10 year anniversary was the other day I believe

He's made a misstep if he thought that,listen to any of the lads who go to every game and have their lives revolve around the club and they know full well that the words from him are bull.
They are behind Ole because they see him as a guy given a poison chalice in a job he'd probably dreamt of having which has turned into a nightmare.
The problem with sacking Ole is that the guy who has presided over the sale of the club and it's on field decline stays holding the reigns of power, another manager will come in and the cycle will continue.
Woodward is too arrogant to look in the mirror and see he's the problem.

Discodog

It's really dumb of any CEO to say that the manager is safe. Woodward is implying that the results won't affect Ole's future & that's bad for any club.

Just the brace from big rom today.

Think we'll be beat 2-0. Of course I hope I'm wrong, but cant see where the goals will come from.

I think 1-1 I'm optimistic

That he can score against a team in the lower half of the table with the worst defensive record in serie a? Superstar

Exactly, unlike Rashford

Just chopped it up a bit to make more relevant

We could do with someone who could score against anyone.

This is it

No. It just means that what they have now is not good enough either.

That's a fair point. But is the metric for measuring someone good enough for the team not if they're better than what is currently there?

Shocking that the club knew he planned to leave and put a their chips on Rashford.

Betfair last time I checked

BDI

A nil all draw and the united squad will start to believe. 7 years from now when united have 5 more premier league titles the documentaries will all go to this game here and tell how ole was 90 minutes from the axe, how at the time we were all living a historic moment but the only person who noticed was BDI on boards who some people seem to think was somebody else but computer historians found out that actually he wasn’t.

Can’t wait to see the team sheet and get depressed again.

Cresswell has scored the same amount of goals as United since August.
So has Aaron Connolly.

Ah sorry misunderstood original point my bad!

Also United are best price 15/4. 4.7 on the exchange. Would need to be 6.0 for 5/1 no?

You had my hopes up there. Not a bit to be got now. 5/1 is value if you can get it, we should be no bigger than 3's.
Our biggest issue is lack of ability to control a game and use the ball to find space and create chances, we won't have to worry about any of that today, it'll be a case of keep compact and break at pace and they will leave space.

Yeah 6.0 would be basically 5/1.

Whilst on the discussion of bets, what's United back line likely be?

Young is 2.62 to be booked which I like and Wan B is 3.75

limnam

Flicked on LFCTV to see what was going on.


Bit like boards. Ole's presser was on. :pac:

I'd expect both to be playing. I'd usually have young down as a great bet to get booked but if we play as deep as I suspect he mightn't have as much need to drag at anyone.

It’s likely tuanzebe could play on the left.

No Salah, De Gea starting

Gary with his bolox interview is on Sky again

It's cringe

Again, I repeat. Fans aren't worried about the performances apparently

De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Young, Maguire, Lindelof, Tuanzebe, McTominay, Fred, Pereira, James, Rashford.

First game to try a back 3 this season is a risky move.

Jose with the juicy reality

Drumpot

Ha, asking Jose “what do you think about Ole being given time to rebuild” (or something like that) and Jose saying it’s a nice position to be in as man united manager and afforded the role be being judged on what you want to do not on what’s actually happening ! Jose also saying “nice PR from Woodward” .....:pac:
