Ole the amateur

Has a team ever had so few points in second place? I love it, hope you keep him for a long time.

Finishing the season on around 73 points and exiting the group stages of the champions league isn't progress.

Would we have second place if Liverpool's CB's didn't die?

Or if Chelsea had sacked Lampard sooner? Or Leicester didn't do their usual bottle job?

Europa league final is based on a Champions league failure

I am not Ole out but he deserves some pretty scathing criticism as well as the praise.

Leicester bottle job? What are you on about? They beat you and are 3rd. I'd say for Leicester that's pretty much the opposite of a bottle job

Ignore him. He's a cretin.

He just wants it to be 1999 again. 2nd place for the Utd squad is actually decent. Hate the fact our fans are acting like we should be top. City have 5 regular subs who walk into our first 11.

And totally agree. Leicester have done well yet again on a much smaller budget than the rest.

With all due respect, I'd gladly swap our manager for yours. Liverpool having a slight resurgence. It happens. To have the away wins record and 2nd place to the unworldly City takes some doing. If I were a fan I'd be worried about Fernández being snapped up in the next two seasons. Plus a potential European trophy. Not to be sniffed at.

It doesn't matter. He lost the games and should have been sacked.

Ole's criticisms are beyond just 1 or two games. Use your noggin.

Wish you would use your noggin more than your fingers.

Would prevent you spewing sheet on this board.

OP's obviously at the anger stage of grief management

City have a second 11 that is only marginally weaker than their first. They can make 5 or 6 changes per game with no impact whatsoever. Even 7 or 8 changes and they'll win most of their games. Given that their first 11 is also probably the strongest in the league, it was always going to be difficult to finish anywhere near them.

This is why when it comes to transfers, I think we'd be better looking at a couple of really top players this summer, rather than spreading the net and winding up with an assortment of averageness.

Liverpool were not that good. Henderson had a shocker and could easily have dealt with the first 3 goals better and the 4th he did nothing.

I am shocked Cavani missed a big chance, Greenwood shot was cleared off the line from close range and then Rashford at the end one on one just pokes it wide. That is 3 sitters missed in one game. We conceded shocking goals.

Also there have been many times 2nd has had similar or lower points. The fact we are so comfortable in 2nd after such a bad start were people thought we were in a relegation battle is insane. If the schedule was more kind to us I think we would have picked 3 points against Leicester City and got a point against Liverpool.

Also if Leicester City don't get top 4 then they will have bottled it big time.
