Shocking form

I'm just not sure what people expect when I read articles like these.

We're paying the price for years of poor decision making, from Manager recruitment, player recruitment and club direction.

Ole has come in, has begun laying down the foundations for our potential success by bringing in youth players and pace.

He may not last another season, however he has to be able to lead the club in a positive direction that is beyond spending £250m each transfer window and over-paying players just to entice them to join our club.

Patience just seems to be totally lost. This is our mess and many can't seem to own it.

What part of "The club will give Ole time to develop a new team" do people not understand? The hire and fire period is over. We either support or not. Ole In.

What we need is a quick fix! It's has worked so well over the last 7 years.

Villa fan in peace. Ole's a good manager, knows the club and where it needs to go, and understands what's needed. He needs time. He also needs the club to back him, in a way which no managers have been backed since Ferguson. Stick with him.

And don't get upset when we beat you tomorrow

Most of these youth players aren't ready. They haven't had loan spells. Ole gaffed up by not bringing in a couple more players in the summer. 3 new players doesn't qualify as a transition.

What foundations has he lay down?
Also bringing in youth players? That’s becuase he had no choice but to play them, Due to such a poor transfer window and injuries. Let be honest most of the games have been shocking to watch and thats down to the manager and no one else. Poor team selection, poor tactics, no style off play.

A lot of bad luck involved in that run. Honestly think we are completely jinxed. VAR has screwed us over and we have to have like the worst efficiency at both ends all in one season. In fact if you look since March we have like near the worst conversion rate in any top league and near like the worst keeper since March.

We conceded tons more goals than expected and scored tons less goals than expected since March. We had to have title winning form on expected goals nearly since March to have this bad run. Imagine if we were playing like a pub side like Poch tottenham or Emery Arsenal we would be near guaranteed relegated.

I think we should appoint managers on a 6 month contract. I mean, when was the last time it worked out when we gave a manager time.........

Its not the managers fault. Never seen a side have title winning stats but be so far off the pace. It reminds me of LVG. Our most dominant games we rarely win. Solskjaer got us too dominant.

Hafi dosent watch the same matches as everyone else.i think he creates a league in PES and watches that.

It wasn't a poor transfer window. We got rid of some players we didn't want, and brought in three that we do. In fact exactly what every man and his dog wanted us to do. We were never going to sign six.
Every one agreed he needed time, for about four games. Then it was Ole out.

So why does expected goals even with ridiculous decisions in Liverpool favour and against Man Utd have Man Utd near identical expected goals for and goals against and points per game as Liverpool?

The fact we have near identical stats as Liverpool who are 23 points clear of us shows its not the managers fault. I honestly think if VAR stops becoming ridiculously against us we are near guaranteed to finish ahead of Liverpool on expected points.
