Look at the other teams that you will be going up against - West Ham , Leicester , prob Spurs and Man Utd. There is a clear gap to the top three clubs but the group just below are very close to each other and that includes Arsenal.

They are absolutely shocking and dragging this club down.
Nothing surprises me any more, other than good performances.

Why, oh why, was he not replaced during the international break, jeez.

Remember that time you sad yous were 3 signings away from being back... (about 12 incomings ago ?)

Thats a bonus ???

Today sums him up. He’s a mid table defender out of his depth at Yernited and shouldn’t be nowhere near the England squad nevermind the Yernited squad??
 
Much needed win for us today. We smelt weakness in arsenals stubborness to only play short.

That klopp/arteta non incident galvanised the crowd an there seemed only 1 winner from there

Big Sam for Man U....apparently he's good at keeping crisis teams in the Premier League.

As a Newcastle fan, visiting this thread and reading the comments (from angst ridden supporters of all of the "top" teams, not just Man U) is good therapy for me.....'cos you folks don't know what a crisis truly is. :LOL:

It’s no good spending pot loads of cash on players via a scattergun transfer policy when you have absolutely no management structure whatsoever.

In that respect there is nobody else to blame but the owners. Nobody.

Whilst the right players might not have been bought - that squad should be doing better than what it is.

Best back four in the league apparently ?

A far superior squad than Liverpools and only matched by City

All stuff said by Utd fans

The owners have provided the money - the first issue is you have a lawyer spending the money , Woodward , the second issue is you have a bus driver who clearly is out of his depth managing the team

And then you have a player saying - we don’t know what to do with the ball ?’

The issue is now they get

Spurs reacted because they could see that Conte would be snapped up soon - he would have been a good choice

Zidane - has declared many times he has no interest in working in the Prem

Rodgers - is a good manager when things are going well. Seems to be wanting when it’s not going so well

I've heard plenty of non Man Utd fans saying things like that as well.

Problem is, if you have an awful manager, then it doesn't make much difference if you have great players. If the players were able to show great work rate and come out with credit, then they'll pick up results and we'd never be that critical of the manager anyway, because it would mask over his ineptness.

De Gea said it all when he said they didn't know what they were doing. That is 100% on the manager. He tells the players what he wants from them. He is either poorly communicating what he wants, or what he wants is simply not working. It seems the only way to get out of it is to either get rid of Ole, or just sort of expect the players to ignore him and figure it out for themselves. It looks like many are starting to do that, others are half trying to follow his orders, and it is one monumental mess.

There is no doubt Ole is not good enough. Question is, who do Utd get in at this early stage in season. A long term caretaker manager, or a long term manager, but with limited choice at this stage of season
