Blame your man, Ed.

Greenwood looked very lively when he came on. Good attitude.

Williams had a poor 90 minutes, him and wan bissaka had nightmares defensively and rashford I thought was poor too.

Maybe just a smokescreen? But playing greenwood and other young players can't be worse than what you have already been playing.

Don't agree Williams had a poor 90mins. He was poor with the wing back formation, but once switched he was good.

Greenwood, James, Martial, Rashford should be our front 4 against the 'smaller' sides. The movement and quick play is much better.

Williams is young so harsh to judge but I thought he was absolutely roasted for 70 minutes. First half especially, it was only because jones was so bad that it overshadowed it

Tbf sheffield utds football going forward was fantastic.

We have a really good crop of young players, however, they won't be able to perform consistently.

The squad is unbalanced in favour of youngsters. We have too few 'experienced' players and the ones we have are not good enough. We need to bring in a few players (especially forwards) in their peak who are able to perform consistently to ease the pressure.

Lose our next game, this manager must go. He is clueless. I was listening to someone say that 7 minutes only happened because the players were basically playing freestyle, nothing to do with the managers tactics. Me and you would’ve probably thrown on the same players he brought on.

I will give him until this time next year, once he has made a few more signings and we actually have a midfield, before judging him.

Yesterday we were severely hamstrung in that our 2 best midfielders were missing. It also didn't help that our front 3 looked like that had forgotten how to run and find space for the first hour of the time game.

I think he made the right subs, irrespective of whether we would have done the same. Jesse, despite his limitations, will always move and run into the space, creating room for his team mates. And Greenwood is always going to be a threat in the box. Axel to try and sure things up was a no-brainer. And the subs would have worked if not for Lindelof being his usual weak self and not getting stuck into his man. Criminal how he allowed him to turn in the box and get the ball back across goal. I really hope Axel pushes him out of the team now. He just isn't strong enough for the PL.

Ole decided to not continuing attacking to get the 4th but instead hold onto the lead which cost us when we had them pinned back.

I agree with this aspect. From minute 86 when we started sitting back I knew we were going to concede.

We should stayed higher up, they had no outlet in behind once Mousset was taken off injured.

Our main problem is that we have no creativity in midfield without Pogba. Once we get him back in there or a replacement I believe that we will look a lot better. All the tactics, coaching and formations in the world don't help much if your CMs can't pass the ball and keep getting caught in possession. We need to get Pogba (and McT) back in the team and invest in a couple more CMs before I will judge Ole.

The issue is, we've had issues like this for ages and it hasn't been fixed by previous more decorated managers. We need to stick to the plan. I only want Ole gone right now is if we can get someone in to carry the plan on and improve on it.
