I think it’s reasonable to expect our team to be able to string a few passes together without giving up possession against the likes of Palace and Southampton.
If Ole is doing a Fergie and only observing training with very little input then does he need new coaching staff? The way we lose the ball is amateurish at times, it’s sickening watching newly promoted teams knock it about better than us. Phelan is an uninspiring choice for the assistant role and we’d be better off bringing in somebody who better understands the modern game. We played horrible football at times with Phelan as assistant during Fergies last few seasons as well.
Either way something needs to be done by Ole ASAP because even Lampard has Chelsea playing better football than us at the moment.

We dominated every game by far clear chances wise. The reason we are getting so many penalties is due to the fact we spent majority of the games attacking in the box. Would be interesting to see if Man Utd or Man City top the charts for most touches in opposition box and fewest opposition touches in own box.

Listen Hafi bottle your optimism and send it to to every united fan on here and if we can all live your world going forward I’m sure it will be a wonderful moment from where we are now

Franko even Solskjaer said the same thing. Must be hard as a manager when you completely school the oppositon and draw or lose like Solskjaer has done. The thing is I dont think we could play better tactically as we did against Crysral Palace, Wolves and Southampton. All 3 games we were robbed against anti-football as everything had to fo wrong for us not to win and it did.

The two penalty misses have been huge Ole can’t do much about that but the worry in the ground is we’re not playing to a visible plan or a system it was school boy stuff today, we’re missing Pogba and Martial but let’s be honest you wouldn’t go into the trenches with either of those two as your wingman, I can’t see a leader in the team I would actually bring back zlatan in January just for some balls in the team

We made Leicester City find it hard to attack us. Remember Leicester City at Chelsea and they looked like scoring whenever they got the ball and went forward but just messed up at end. Nothing like that against us as controlled nearly everything. We look like a top striker away from being a real force.

The reason we give the ball away so much trying to transition between the middle and final thirds (75% of our loss of possession) is because of our structure.
We have a huge gap between our two flat midfielders who are often asked to play against pressing midfield threes and our supporting line, which isn’t the most mobile or intelligent in the league.
Our midfielders really are asked to do the impossible most weeks.

And Chelsea beat Norwich away who just beat City so I guess Chelsea are going to win the league then?

I am just saying we are really solid defensively. Bit like Man City level last 2 seasons. We also created more opportunities than the opposition. The reality is we should have easily beaten Wolves, Palace and Southampton. In fact they may turn out to be 3 of our most dominant games this season but wasteful finishing by us and conceding from pretty much any effort on goal as even when de gea saved a shot they scored from resulting attack a few seconds later so we didn't need a keeper in those 3 games really.
