United manchester lost in istanbul but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could still be a hit. Like Sir Alex …
You are fired!
Reserve a thought for guardian writer Jamie Jackson, who has spent months writing his book, The Red Apprentice, on the rise and rise of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, only to see him embarrassingly lose back-to-back games, lead United to 15th place and become the favorite for the catch. within two weeks of posting.
Your answer?
REMINDER: It took a genius manager named ALEX Ferguson four years to win a cup @Man Utd and seven, SEVEN, to win a title. Right if you are wrong, but it turned out a bit SUCCESSFUL🌅🌅🌅🏖🏖🏖🚀🚀🚀 pic.twitter.com/OFXNyYTKiU

TRANSLATION: Please don’t fire Ole because my book will be PULPED. Oh, and please ignore that ALEX Ferguson had won THREE titles, a EUROPEAN trophy and five other national TROPHIES with Aberdeen, so there was at least some suggestion that he might have some SUCCESS at Man United.

The first line of Jamie Jackson’s party report in The Guardian?
“Manchester United looked like a rabble for much of a terrible display that raises serious questions about where their season is headed.”
But are there no serious questions about the manager? Where is your season headed? We suspect the two may be interrelated, which is bad news for a man who has written a book about the dead apprentice.
Return to basic
It’s hard not to compare situations at Chelsea and United.
Lampard fully endorsed and rewarded for CL rating. Solskjaer went tall and dry.
I don’t know if either of them will ultimately prove a hit, but at least Chelsea gave Lampard a chance– James Robson (@jamesrobsonES) November 5, 2020
Annoying fact: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has spent more than Frank Lampard. About £ 16 million more.
And that’s without the small consideration that Chelsea’s best player was sold just before Lampard took over.
Hit the pony
The latest surprise is sure to increase the pressure on United manager Ole Gunnar Solksjaer, who took a risk by making six changes, ” writes David Facey in Sun.
“ You could hardly have expected him to name a team unchanged after that lousy performance against the Gunners, but his lineup here still smelled of overconfidence. ”
Annoying fact: The Manchester United team that started the game in Istanbul was hired for fees totaling £ 355.8 million, not including the three prodigious academy products placed along its spine.
This was not a reserve team. He featured eight full internationals and at least six of United’s first-choice XIs, including three-quarters from the defense.
There’s a lot of shit to throw at Solskjaer after the last two disastrous losses, but that lineup doesn’t ‘smell like overconfidence’ at all.
Rinse and repeat
Neil Custis has noted that Bruno Fernandes is in bad shape But Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s apologist would like to remind you of two pertinent facts:
However, before any panic breaks out, let’s remember that it was United’s first away loss in 19 games dating back to last January’s loss to Liverpool.
“It was also the club’s first away loss in 19 games dating back to last January’s loss to Liverpool.”
Both facts are true. And it is also true.
Polden back the years
the Daily mirror David McDonnell was on duty at Manchester United and John Cross was covering Chelsea on Wednesday night, so what’s the most read story on your football site?
‘Sir Alex Ferguson’s opinion on Mauricio Pochettino didn’t get the Man Utd job’
Jake Polden rewriting a Sunday mail May 2019 piece and pretending this is news in a week where Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is under pressure and Mauricio Pochettino is on Sky Sports, obviously. Silly question really.
Head lies
From our old friends in the Meter: ‘Robin van Persie gives a verdict on Manchester United fired Solskjaer and hired Pochettino.’
*click*
‘Robin van Persie urges Manchester United to keep faith in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer by following Mauricio Pochettino’s link’
Oh That is not the same.
Ch-ch-ch-ch changes
“Considering that Manchester United’s midfield seemed the strongest part of the team this summer, it might seem strange to say they need to spend again,” writes Tyrone Marshall in the Manchester evening news.
It seems particularly strange as his colleague Samuel Luckhurst wrote literally seven days ago that “United’s midfield hasn’t been that impressive since they last lifted the European Cup in 2008.”
Manchester United have won the title three times since 2008. And everyone has changed their minds about this United midfield since last week.
Pilgrim’s progress
Elsewhere in the same piece, there are little crumbs of comfort sought in the banner of the players that produced a terrible performance in Istanbul:
“Bringing in players of the quality of Henderson, Van de Beek and Anthony Martial is certainly an encouraging sign and Edinson Cavani has yet to start a game for United.
The fringe players weren’t always doing each other many favors, it was a night to forget for Axel Tuanzebe, but if Solskjaer had made six changes last season United would have been lining up a considerably weaker side than this one and that’s a sign of some progress. at least ‘.
Yes actually. Well done Manchester United. In December 2019 they made nine changes to a team that had just beaten Manchester City and recorded their biggest European win in three years with a 4-0 win over AZ Alkmaar. And that team really looks embarrassing now that all this progress has been made.
Control experiment
Sorry, but we can’t leave that piece without taking a look at the headline:
‘Manchester United have a problem they cannot control’
Hmmm. They? It seems that they should be able to control the destiny of their coach, who really should be able to control their players. What do they mean?
‘A decisive day to come when the threat of Pochettino looms uncontrollably over Solskjaer’s head’
It’s a problem, okay. And what can Manchester United do about an excellent jobless coach being very obviously out of work? No wonder they keep losing games.
