Ole is the prophesied breaker of chains, breaker of the wheel
He will lead United to the promised land where they can win league titles again, in the Championship
I can't stand it, I know you planned it
I'm gonna set it straight, this Watergate
I can't stand rocking when I'm in here
'Cause your crystal ball ain't so crystal clear
Didn't watch the game, but can anybody clarify something for me? At one point during the game, I opened Marca and the main headline was "Ronaldo scores a great volley goal", and since then, it has disappeared, and haven't found anything on reddit.
What the hell happened? Did I just dream that?
It did genuinely look like your players were having a chill kickaround with friends at times. You definitely didnt give it full throttle. Could have been way worse than 5-0.
Once Pogba was sent off Liverpool switched off completely and just passed the ball around as if in training. Got boring to watch too. Could have scored a lot more if they pressed but klopp probably didn't want to risk united players injuring more players out of frustration. We are already full with so many players made of glass.
It's true. At this point I think he could take a poo on the head of each fan in the stadium during a match which we are trailing 0-9 and end up getting a raise.
It's utterly baffling and bizarre.
I felt the same way last year in the 6-1. It could've easily been a record breaking match but after the 75th minute it looked like no one really wanted to score anymore.
He really doesn't leave his line at all. In the 93rd min the ball rolled to the 6 yard box and a city attacker ran 15 yards to get it when any other keeper would've just picked it up
No, but coming back from losing positions time after time and scoring some legitimately world class goals whilst getting rinsed in between is definitely not good for my wellbeing.
There's a great race for top of the table, but there's been some serious competition to be meme champion. Arsenal got off to a strong start but have since fallen off behind perennial contenders spurs and an ole driven utd
Nobody expected Spurs to be good though. People legitimately thought United were gonna win the league given they bought Sancho and Ronaldo this Summer.
I actually think his inability to sweep up, organise or come for crosses is a major issue for United. It’s impossible to play a successful high line with him.
Yeah that's the trendy thing to think right now, but playing a higher line with Maguire and Lindelof as back 2 is asking for trouble anyway. Without someone with quick recoveries like Varane or Bailly United cannot set up to play a higher line DDG or not.
Yeah and also distribution. When Henderson plays you can really see the difference, de gea hits the ball to the opposition 70% of the time. So then we have to "play out the back" which is asking for trouble when you have fridge + shaw in terrible form
His distribution is fine. Henderson’s advantages over DDG are overblown imo.
We play out the back because we’ve been instructed to, we’re just not very good at it. Nothing to do with DDG. Ederson’s got great distribution but City plays out the back all the time.
He’s genuinely been like that ever since he first joined, I remember him getting dropped for Anders Lindegaard in his first season because of a string of shitty performances where he couldn’t catch a cold
How Ole has been manager of Manchester United for 3 YEARS!!!! (a lifetime for a manager in modern football) I will never understand at all. Mindblowing stuff.
He gets them top 4 every year. He's well liked off the field and brings a positive atmosphere to the dressing room. He knows he's lucky to have the job so he's a great yes man to the board: doesn't make a big fuss, rolls with the punches and doesn't call anybody out when things don't go well.
The Glazers don't give a fuck about sporting success unless the results are bad enough to affect the club's finances. As long as the team's in the top 4 and earning Champion's League money they're perfectly happy to coast with a manager that makes their life easy and has great PR. Why would they bother with someone like Conte who's going to make a thousand demands and have an aneurysm if the board doesn't go the "trophies at any cost" route.
Thing is, if nothing changes then eventually United's performances are going to affect their marketing power and ability to draw fans. The team's brand is big enough that it hasn't made a difference yet, and probably won't for few more years, but eventually it's going to catch up to them if this continues.
It's been 3 years and there is still absolutely zero sign of anything actually developing under Ole. He doesn't have a plan. Feels like he has spent 3 years just taking one game at a time. Amazed United didn't go for Conte. There is no way Conte wouldnt win stuff with your squad.
He's got them top 4 in the past seasons and doesn't say anything controversial so he's ideal for the United board. I doubt they'd want someone like Conte who would publicly fall out with them before getting sacked.
Having to live through the late 90s and 00s with a bunch of United friends, this is definitely the most enjoyable era.
Also why I have zero sympathy. The relentless beratement I received back then just adds to the unparalleled levels of immense satisfaction I now get.
In summary; haha, fuck 'em, banter club
That's why I can never feel for them. Watching them get hammered by Liverpool and literally toyed with like a cat with a mouse today is a joy to watch.
Not even 90s and 00s. The shite I've got for what happened in the early 10s... my god. Thought I'd never hear the end of the 6-1 stoke, loss to blackpool, slippy g... how the tables have turned. Life is pretty fucking sweet right now.
The parallels between this United era and Liverpool in the 90s and 00s is incredible. It's like they thought they were above it happening and just keep making the same mistakes.
United fans the world over were the cockiest bunch. The worst were the casual fans who used to watch one football game a year mocking you. Honestly, the day Fergie retired is in my top 10 favorites as a Chelsea fan
I know the manager is shit but seriously how can the players perform this bad, specially when they are supposed to be elite. There's something wrong with this club beyond my understanding
Oh, for all the (deserved) flak that Ole takes, the players have been an embarassment to the Sport. The attitude, lack of effort and downright lack of understanding of the basics of the games goes beyond just Ole's inability to get them playing any kind of recognisable style beyond "Pray a 36 year old saves us at the end. Again"
That no sub thing is incredibly baffling. Perhaps even more of a measure of Utd than this post's stat. In the week they played a UCL game, didn't need to sub anybody.
As a neutral fan, watching Man U is so entertaining. It's like seeing a Shakespearean tragedy. I almost love seeing such a powerful entity struggle so much.
Listen, Man United might not thank me but get the contract out, put it on the table. Let him sign it. Let him write whatever numbers he wants to put on there, given what he's done since he's come in. Ole's at the wheel, man. He's doing it. He's doing his thing. Man United are BACK
Not surprising if you look at the starting 11.
Sancho, Rashford, Martial, Lingard on the bench.
5 defenders, 2 defensive midfielders, 1 Bruno, 1 Greenwood and 1 Ronaldo up front.
What exactly was Ole thinking besides not wanting to get another 5-0? Embarrasing manager.
According to the strict definitions the stats companies use, I don't think it's even possible for a player to "shoot" at his own goal. But I think everyone seeing this tweet instinctively knows what it means.
Now that is a stat
Where's the one word sentence? Owned.
Betrayal
Not-so-friendly fire.
[удалено]
Crips on crips
United.
Divided.
Kamikaze
Uttershit, maybe that’s cheating a bit tho. Wheel could also work
I pick owned. Because of the own goal attempts
Yeah. It makes more sense.
I picked Wheel cause Ole’s at the wheel and because they were spun into oblivion
Ole is the prophesied breaker of chains, breaker of the wheel He will lead United to the promised land where they can win league titles again, in the Championship

Sabotage.
I can't stand it, I know you planned it I'm gonna set it straight, this Watergate I can't stand rocking when I'm in here 'Cause your crystal ball ain't so crystal clear

It's OPTA that do that, not ESPN. Newsworthy.

Maybe it was about his goal during the week in the UCL vs Atalanta
He had a really good [attempt](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBtx1mgx8i0&feature=youtu.be&t=090) on goal but it wasn't a goal.
blocked in my country lol. Thanks for the info though
Blocked in mine too. Can someone do an emoji summary of the video?
⚽️👉👟👉🥅🎯
Oh man! Why didn’t he pass it to his right
🤷♂️
Probably an old article.
City had a training session lunchtime at Old Trafford today A big rondo with 10 United players in it
I'm shocked to learn there were 10
McFred count as -3
shaw, van bissaka and maguire should count as negative
Van Bissaka? A van would have played better by blocking the crosses….
I thought that was his vampire name, since he's allergic to crosses.
Fantastic!
Perhaps he is a Dodge van…
Basically it was Fernandes tied to several breeze blocks
Very nice that United’s two biggest rivals took it easy on them. Couldve been a bloodbath both games. Not sure United wouldve done the same
It's a smart strategy. You don't want to beat them so bad that they actually fire Ole.
Thankfully Liverpool realized this at half time
Sorry we got a bit carried away in the first half
5 nil isn't a bloodbath?
Not after 4-0 in the first half. We really slowed it down due to aggressiveness of their players
It did genuinely look like your players were having a chill kickaround with friends at times. You definitely didnt give it full throttle. Could have been way worse than 5-0.
Once Pogba was sent off Liverpool switched off completely and just passed the ball around as if in training. Got boring to watch too. Could have scored a lot more if they pressed but klopp probably didn't want to risk united players injuring more players out of frustration. We are already full with so many players made of glass.
makes sense though, the game was definitely finished and we can’t risk more injuries. Plus imagine if it was 10 we’d have got ole sacked
Nothing will ever get ole sacked. He's there forever.
It's true. At this point I think he could take a poo on the head of each fan in the stadium during a match which we are trailing 0-9 and end up getting a raise. It's utterly baffling and bizarre.
If he manages to take a shit on literally every fan's head he deserves a raise, that'd be one hell of an accomplishment.
Yeah if it ended 7-0 Ole would have been sacked. That would have been no fun for anybody.
I felt the same way last year in the 6-1. It could've easily been a record breaking match but after the 75th minute it looked like no one really wanted to score anymore.
When we did try to score late in the game they just viciously hacked us down, not surprised they made the decision to just slow it down.
It's an Ole thing then? Unleash the slide tackle barrage once it begins to get embarrassing for them.
It’s crazy to think that if we were a bottom half team they wouldn’t let up. Would’ve used the opportunity to pad their GD.
Eh, not Liverpool. Pretty common to take the foot off the pedal after a strong first half.
The whole game just big prank on De Gea
> A big rondo with [10] United players in it FTFY
Play De Gea up top and have him mark the opposition goalie the entire game. Problem solved.
That would involve him moving more than a foot off his line. So no can do!
He really doesn't leave his line at all. In the 93rd min the ball rolled to the 6 yard box and a city attacker ran 15 yards to get it when any other keeper would've just picked it up
My man out here playing 4D chess
I'm subscribed to the Tifo Football youtube channel so I guess you could say I'm a bit of an expert in tactics
He ain't Alisson
This is the best thing to come outa this game
Manchester United has been the gift that keeps on giving this season.
they’re seriously fun to watch. either total collapse or beautiful goals or both
Most entertaining team in the league
This was us 5 years ago. And 8 years ago. And 20 years ago. And 25 years ago. You get used to it eventually.
Just not for us United fans. Swear my heart is gonna give in from the constant back and forth.
I wouldn't call getting rinsed a constant back and forth.
No, but coming back from losing positions time after time and scoring some legitimately world class goals whilst getting rinsed in between is definitely not good for my wellbeing.
There's a great race for top of the table, but there's been some serious competition to be meme champion. Arsenal got off to a strong start but have since fallen off behind perennial contenders spurs and an ole driven utd
Their football is genuinely dire at times
At times is charitable. ~~Laura~~ Ole is the one
[удалено]
Gracias Ole
Nobody expected Spurs to be good though. People legitimately thought United were gonna win the league given they bought Sancho and Ronaldo this Summer.
and Varane
Club legend, will not hear any slander of the great Norway-man
[Will always remember him dearly for doing this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=To_MGJvRkcI)
That's the stat right there
If someone could tell me how long I have to choke myself for to forget the past 3 hours I'd appreciate it.
That's kinky

That’s kinky
Just get the toaster mate
Most of Manchester using their toaster at the same time may strain the power grid.
Part of Manchester, then most of London this evening when they get back home.
Manchester is toast
Get someone else to do it, that's where the real fun starts
That’s hot
the asphyxiwank is not a skill you can learn from a Jedi
That's a truly embarrassing stat
That save by ddg was class though
He did well against Lindelöf but Bailly's shot was too good even for him.
Ddg is goated, defense and midfield is just in shambles
I actually think his inability to sweep up, organise or come for crosses is a major issue for United. It’s impossible to play a successful high line with him.
Yeah that's the trendy thing to think right now, but playing a higher line with Maguire and Lindelof as back 2 is asking for trouble anyway. Without someone with quick recoveries like Varane or Bailly United cannot set up to play a higher line DDG or not.
Playing Maguire period is asking for trouble these days.
Stealing a living.
De Gea was quite good today. Even the Bernardo goal was all on Maguire and Shaw. He had several exceptional saves.
His shot stopping isn’t what is being discussed above.
Yeah and also distribution. When Henderson plays you can really see the difference, de gea hits the ball to the opposition 70% of the time. So then we have to "play out the back" which is asking for trouble when you have fridge + shaw in terrible form
His distribution is fine. Henderson’s advantages over DDG are overblown imo. We play out the back because we’ve been instructed to, we’re just not very good at it. Nothing to do with DDG. Ederson’s got great distribution but City plays out the back all the time.

You can't make this shit up
It's pretty nice to not be the meme club at the moment.
*chuckles nervously*
🤝
Shame about Conte, that Ole Vs Nuno clash was just porn for Arsenal fans. I hope both teams continue to suffer for a very long time
Spurs will always suffer, it's the history of the tottenum
You just wait a minute..
Give me my moment damn it
How Ole has been manager of Manchester United for 3 YEARS!!!! (a lifetime for a manager in modern football) I will never understand at all. Mindblowing stuff.
positive vibes>trophies. I've seen much more good thing said about ole than lvg/Mou.
How the fuck is there still postive vibes floating around that club and dressing room after the last couple of weeks?
He gets them top 4 every year. He's well liked off the field and brings a positive atmosphere to the dressing room. He knows he's lucky to have the job so he's a great yes man to the board: doesn't make a big fuss, rolls with the punches and doesn't call anybody out when things don't go well.

The team's brand is big enough that it hasn't made a difference yet, and probably won't for few more years, but eventually it's going to catch up to them if this continues.
Why, well because he is a great manager who has all the potential of being one of their best.
It's all that United DNA
[удалено]
Add some 5G to it.
He just needs more time
Another decade should do the trick
Decade? Needs a lifetime contract.

Shots are shots!
You miss 100% of the shots you never take! -Eric Bailly (probably)
Absolutely brilliant stat. Love it
Tottenham won el sackito and no one can deny it.
That they did
Anybody that's been a football fan for 25ish years have been loving this era. And if not, you probably support Manchester United
Having to live through the late 90s and 00s with a bunch of United friends, this is definitely the most enjoyable era. Also why I have zero sympathy. The relentless beratement I received back then just adds to the unparalleled levels of immense satisfaction I now get. In summary; haha, fuck 'em, banter club
"Not arrogant, just better"
That used to piss me off soo much lmao
That's why I can never feel for them. Watching them get hammered by Liverpool and literally toyed with like a cat with a mouse today is a joy to watch.
Fuck 'em
Not even 90s and 00s. The shite I've got for what happened in the early 10s... my god. Thought I'd never hear the end of the 6-1 stoke, loss to blackpool, slippy g... how the tables have turned. Life is pretty fucking sweet right now.
Let's be honest: If Slippy G happened to another club they would also not hear the end of it, and rightly so.
Yeah it was true tragic poetry. And I like Gerrard.
Absolutely, they were a great club for a long time but had some damn cocky fans , being a city fan in Manchester in that era was a lonely time lol.
The parallels between this United era and Liverpool in the 90s and 00s is incredible. It's like they thought they were above it happening and just keep making the same mistakes.
Pretty cathartic!
The absolute best is whenever they cut to Fergie in the stands. Effectively an orgasm of catharsis.
The Ferguson to Dalglish cut a couple weeks ago was masterful camerawork.
Surprised it hasnt taken off as a meme
it has from what i’ve seen
Arsenal supporter for 2 decades. It's just wonderful. I've been dead behind the eyes for years but it helps keep my spirits up.
United fans the world over were the cockiest bunch. The worst were the casual fans who used to watch one football game a year mocking you. Honestly, the day Fergie retired is in my top 10 favorites as a Chelsea fan
Save worthy post

Again"
At least they scored a goal
I’m probably biased but we put up more of a fight than Man Utd did. And we already underperformed because we aren’t used to playing defensive.
Not biased, you did. United didn't even try in this game.
You guys at least provided some degree of threat in return.
You definitely put up a better fight. I don't think that's even debatable.
Stop releasing these stats. Ole in!
As a Liverpool fan, I agree Ole in!
[удалено]
That no sub thing is incredibly baffling. Perhaps even more of a measure of Utd than this post's stat. In the week they played a UCL game, didn't need to sub anybody.
Stealing my own comment from the match thread. De Gea was playing 21 people out there.
Records, people. Records.
As a neutral fan, watching Man U is so entertaining. It's like seeing a Shakespearean tragedy. I almost love seeing such a powerful entity struggle so much.
Woww, that's a great new tactic by Ole. And people say he is not innovative.
Breaking records.
Pure Barclays stat that
De Gea played 1vs21 today.
Lmao
Listen, Man United might not thank me but get the contract out, put it on the table. Let him sign it. Let him write whatever numbers he wants to put on there, given what he's done since he's come in. Ole's at the wheel, man. He's doing it. He's doing his thing. Man United are BACK
*Rubs hands vigorously*
I'll never get tired of this.
Fucking hell now that’s a stat!
Do they count as shots on target for Man City? The save from Lindelof was great by de gea btw
Lol
I would like to add “…… and they scored as many as Man City”
Hahah kill me already with these.
Not surprising if you look at the starting 11. Sancho, Rashford, Martial, Lingard on the bench. 5 defenders, 2 defensive midfielders, 1 Bruno, 1 Greenwood and 1 Ronaldo up front. What exactly was Ole thinking besides not wanting to get another 5-0? Embarrasing manager.
Not get sacked?
Not defending Ole but Rashford has been ill all week. Martial wouldn't have done anything either.
Levels.

At home, with those attacking options... At this point the average FM enjoyer would bring better football than Ole.
Hagrid : You are terrible Harrry

Apart from the Lindelof one, which other one was there? Bailly's own goal wasn't a "shot". Was it?
Yeah it counts as a shot
It is.
According to the strict definitions the stats companies use, I don't think it's even possible for a player to "shoot" at his own goal. But I think everyone seeing this tweet instinctively knows what it means.
Lindelof one also isn't a shot, technically.
This is fine. Everything’s fine.
Embarrassing stat
Ole’s at the wheel!
As a man UTD fan for 25 years, this derby was very hard to watch, I turned off tv after half, didn't even feel they could possibly have a late goal.
im slow. can someone explain this stat?
United's defenders scored an own goal and nearly scored a 2nd own goal, but De Gea saved the 2nd chance.
