Mixed feelings on Ole today. On the one hand, he can't be blamed for Rashford (and others) missing chances that absolutely should have been buried. And when he did make his subs, they were fairly effective. On the other hand, Cavani should have come on much sooner (half time?), and he simply cannot coach a defence. Maguire is not worth £80m but he was solid at Leicester and feels anything but right now. Shaw had a good game today but is often left wanting. Lindelof had one good season before a massive regression. AWB was a defensive beast before he came in and mostly continues to be but has shown a few signs of reverting to the United mean this season. He's not the main person to blame for today, multiple players deserve more blame, but overall it's probably another sign for me that he isn't good enough. AWB needs competition and we need cover at RB. We’re seeing the positives of Shaw being pushed by Telles and vice versa. Maybe Williams could be the player to push AWB or someone more experienced in the mould of Telles.

Max Aarons was mentioned a few weeks ago to push AWB. Of course it’s gone completely quiet on that front as it would have been sensible.

At this point we are second in the number of goals scored in the league with only Liverpool above us.
Sort out that defense and we are in pretty good position.

If our back 4 was sorted, we’d challenge for the title. That is honestly the only difference with us and the scousers this year.

Mate, if there's one thing Ole knows its how to finish off chances. He's got to sit Rashford down for a bit and fucking drill that into him. That missed header yesterday is still needling the fuck out of me.

Weakest link in our back four is Lindelof (I know Bestie wont agree !), whose transfer was that ? Also its not as if Maguire and Wan Bissaka has been unmitigated disaster , our defense is a work in progress. Get in some competition for AWB at RB and a CB to start with Maguire and we are going to look much better.

Maguire and AWB have both been less impressive at United than in their previous clubs, especially Maguire, who, for me, has been a poor transfer all things considered.
Ole should hire a world-class coach to work with our defenders because it’s looking dire and clearly whoever is coaching them at the moment isn’t doing a good enough job.

Instead of ole hiring a world class coach, now stick with me this is just an idea, as stupid as this sounds why doesn't the club hire a world class manager?

Ole won’t rock the boat when Woodward fails to get him the players he needs. a world class manager would

Well, given that is certainly not happening any time soon, I’d rather something useful does happen.
