Utd set to have a brilliant season then, as long as every team they play camps out in their half and lets them counterattack into an empty defensive area for 90 minutes.

This times infinity
They were by far the worse team until the second and their midfield is just atrocious. Weird watching players like Pereira and McTominay as first choice man united players

If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.

I was worried that they were gonna continue with their awful spell towards the end of the last season and then go on to fire Ole but now it really looks encouraging that he may just be good enough to be around that 4th spot and avoid getting fired for almost entire season which would be a perfect scenario.

It’s been just over 18 months since they were last back and now they’re back again.

How do they do it?

Most shots
Most shots on targets

He is garbage. Good enough cross to Martial for the goal (with terrible marking) - but he's terrible. You should keep playing him.

You’re good on the break though...but utterly crap elsewhere...

I’ve always thought your defensive problems were more to do with your midfield than anything else


Two of them are no where near good enough, and the other one?  The other one just looks on a different level at times and then at other times looks like it’s all beneath him...

Notwithstanding the scoreline, quite a few really good signs

AWB the anti-Trent in attack. When we play if those two ever touch the universe will end.

Pogba, moody and listless as ever, only springs into action at 4-0 for the opportunity to pad his stats, starts calling for the ball and waving his arms about angrily.

General midfield: championship level.

Captain Beefheart: Seems somehow even slower in red, and 100% with terrible header placement. Clearly worth just more than VVD Yoshida, just about.

Luke ate all the pies: huffing after 10 mins. Not seen after 20.

The crowd: From exuberant to groaning in 15 mins, then ecstatic certain title winners on a quick double against the run of play. This lot will be ripping everyone new ones before Sept is out.

Shaping up to be another excellent season

Now, I’m no coach (and I know some of you are).. but isn’t it the job of the coaching team to decide on a style, buy players to suit it and spend the preseason coaching them to achieve it?

Yeah, I actually watched the match today as I was in the pub. Both teams were poor, but you’ve got some quick forwards in Martial and Rashford, and a player like Pogba who can pick a proper pass on the break, who punished Chelsea’s poor defending. Fair bit of luck too on the run of the ball. One of those games that looks like an annihilation if you only know the score and didn’t see the game.

I’m hoping Chelsea are this shit on Wednesday and Lampard hasn’t weirdly prioritised a Super Cup over league points...

For some situations, no. A typical allardyce, parachuted in as the January window closes, normally to a team with no budget is excellent at finding round holes for his round pegs. Maybe that's what United need....

It works both ways - you can impose a style and buy the players to fit, or you can have some general principles of play, and adapt the rest to the players you have. Getting caught between the two stools is what catches most English/British managers out

Diverting little tidbit in the Mail (yes, I know) today.

Quote
Ed Woodward has encouraged Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to start parking in the manager's spot at Manchester United's Carrington training ground.

The Norwegian was reluctant to use the space, given he saw it as 'the gaffer's (Mr. Ferguson's) spot' which he did not feel comfortable with taking.

However, executive vice chairman Woodward, perhaps wary of continued jibes that United live in the past, or perhaps of the radical opinion that the manager should park in the manager's parking space, is keen for the club to move forward and has made his feelings known.

It's a results business, and the players probably thought the club hadn't hired a manager to replace Mourinho given that the parking space was invariably empty since last December. They needed to realize that the gnome in the human suit wasn't just there for ornamental purposes and that there was more to him than chirping "We are Man United" in a high-pitched voice.

With all the hullabo about VAR, defenders wrapping 2 arms around and blatant holding is ok I guess as long as it's outside the box because refrees will let it go. This is what the MOM absolute bargain defender and United's shiny new toy did just before the second goal.

Expect.a.lot.of such shithousery against us and commentators going Gaga over solid old school defenders.

It works both ways - you can impose a style and buy the players to fit, or you can have some general principles of play, and adapt the rest to the players you have. Getting caught between the two stools is what catches most English/British managers out

but ole isnt british isnt he. thats what makes him special.

he's ole from molde!

got to admin the scoreline flatters them a bit. every counter attack seems to end up in the net. hope it's unsustainable.
