A number of bad decisions last night but ultimately one game, let's hope we see better going forward.
Deciding to defend the lead can work bit you need energy, Neither Pogba or Ronaldo gives you that, for me take Ronaldo and Pogba off and have Sancho, Bruno, Greenwood work the wings and middle between them to hopefully create something.
The best form of defence last night should have been attack. not lump it up to Ronaldo and hope he can do something.

Do you think Klopp, Guardiola, Tuchel etc. would just acceept the fact that two of their highest paid players were'nt prepared to put in some extra effort when the team were down to ten men.

I mean Cavani is well into his thirties but one thing is for sure, if he was out there last night when we were down to ten, he would have worked hard to help the team.

It wasn't just 1 game though was it. As I highlighted further down the page other than Leeds we haven't been great all season.

The deficiencies have been masked by the results for a long time now…we can all see the problems but the Board etc can't because they aren’t football people and only focus on the money and the end result.

The issues with oles lack of planning, prep, poor tactics and crap in game management won’t go away, they are evident in every game but only highlighted when we lose.

Make no mistake about it though, when it matters they will cost us and that is why we won’t win under him no matter what squad we have.

Klopp, pep or tuchel would have won that game it’s as simple as that. My only hope is that with the added expectation that Ronaldo brings then when ole fails to match it, then he’s out.

The idea of we want players who can run and give work rate is crap imo.
We were struggling to string 2 passes together. You go 1 man down you keep possession as much as you possibly can.
Donny if you were watching closely most of his passes were forward, yet ole decided to remove a CM and add a CB.
For me Varane should have played CB and Lindelof moved to RB.
We rely on 5-6 individuals to do something magical to score. We have no pattern of play whatsoever.
We are missing a Declan Rice or a Trippier we are missing a manager.
Ole is a joke and excuse of a manager.
The moment his team have their back against the wall in a final or with a red card ole cannot do anything.
Either you sack ole or God please God bring back Rene Muelesteen, a proper coach.
Mourinho was doing well until Rui Faria left
We need better coaches and better tactics.
For all he's improved and given love to Luke Shaw and Pogba and others, he's overplayed players who have been awful for a long time.
We are run like a family owned business and not an actual cut throat professional club.
Yesterday's defeat is all Ole's fault, he setup more and more negatively. He always makes the wrong choices always.
What was aaron doing trying to put pressure in CM? Why has Shaw been popping up in CM?
Where are the positions and tactics?
Why is Jadon Sancho cutting back and passing inwards.
Smart players don't need to work hard. Keep the ball moving and this game was easily won.
Sancho is a possession player, Matic, Donny, keep the ball rolling. Stop being direct and move forward as a team more build up that's how you defend a lead when you are one guy down. Not by adding all the defensive players on the pitch.
No matter what anyone says at this moment I would want both fred and martial out of the first 20. Idk what the situation is with garner, but I think he's better than fred.
Martial and Fred are anti-football. There's no player in Fred. I think Tom cleverley moved the ball around than fred. Quick 1-2 passes, even he worked hard.
For me fred and martial are the 2 guys I freeze out.
How greenwood doesn't get to play is beyond me, he's been our best player overall since the start of season.
Let's sack ole, he's done the man management part let's bring someone who wants to win and more importantly wants to play genuine football.
