Our biggest problem

For me, the biggest issue is a lack of urgency. Not just something that Ole is responsible for as I noticed it under the three managers before him. Seems so odd that it can take us going behind in games for something to happen.

Last season in on paper β€˜easy’ home games against the likes of West Ham, Saints and Watford we just had zero urgency and once they scored or we got a penalty out of nowhere things started to speed up. Same happened this season against Chelsea and Palace.

Again, not even really an attack on Ole specifically as it was the same a lot of the time under Jose and LVG at times. Just seems odd the players can’t just take the initiative and dominate games with any sort of tempo.

Why is this?

Your posts are the evidence. You take every opportunity to lay into Ole.

You know it, I know it and everyone else knows it.

I slate the guy because I don’t think he’s good enough just as you slate Lingard because you don’t think he’s good enough just as Baz slates Shaw etc

Not because I ‘want’ him to fail. How does that even quantify in your brain?

Absolute mystery.

It's not like he is clogging up the boards is it.

What's wrong with him saying he thinks the manager is not good enough?

-

1. He is
2. Nothing, but he doesn't need to repeat it in different words every few days to get the same rise out of the same people.

Nothing idiotic about thinking another manager may do much better, Ole is a leap of faith. But it's not a viewpoint I agree with at all.
As we know Ole is an intelligent, straight, hard working guy, with a strong record of success elsewhere. Yes, I know it's only Norway, but a lot of the same principles apply in terms of man managemet, tactics etc.
He has a very mixed bag last season, a record run of wins and a record run of losses, so difficult to tell.
So far this season, sort of medium. Certainly a bit unlucky, two successful penalties and we are second in the league. Ifs and buts, but all football is.
But why I want him to be given time is because I like the way he is going about the job. I think the three signings are good ones. I'm confident he knows where we need strengthening, and has a short list for next summers window. If we get another three good signings we can challenge.
He is gradually getting rid of the players he doesn't want.
Most on here agreed it could not be done at once or in one window, and patience was needed. Three games in and already some think enough is enough. But I want him here at the end of the season, and then see who we bring in, and then another dozen games before making a judgment call.

Robb Today....


You guys seriously have no idea how to separate my lack of faith in him with your own assumptions that I want him to fail. There’s literally no real reason other than the paranoid reasonings that you have that I want him to fail.

What? Say ‘I told you so’? What, I told you that a guy who was grossly out of his depth when appointed was sacked (if it happens in this scenario) because he was out of his depth.

πŸ˜‚ amazing. What an achievement πŸ€”


Also Robb.....

Apparently been disciplined already by Ole according to press.

Honestly with effort like that you can't really complain you don't get more game time. What an absolute fake he is. Talented but not willing to put the miles in.

I'd say get rid but we'll struggle to get a team to pay us what we'd ask for or to match his wages.

Doesn't that clip just sum up our club right now?

Firstly, I commend you on having such a lack of a life that you go back months to find comments

And secondly my comment isn’t about Ole at all. So well done. πŸ™„

You like a good "I told you so" Robb, you love it.

By the way it literally takes a minute to find your quotes of hypocrisy. Usually on the political threads it's a bit tougher but with football, all you have to do is google your name and the person you have it in for.

You see you go on about these people so much that an entire archive appears.

There would be no point doing a told you so with Ole as he was a massive underdog to begin with

Tbh if he succeeds it would be more fitting for you guys to do a told you so to the vast majority of the football world who thought the odds on him doing so were very small
