Solskjær's team selection was 100% right

Ole's left it a bit late to say that Mutch and Noone are unfit.

No, we don't want to burn the players out, but I'd have sooner put them in against Swansea and rested them tomorrow at home.

The OP is wrong IMO.

Lets agree to disagree fella. At least you put your argument across fairly rather than 'pyle of shit' or whatever nonsense the other poster come out with.

( Yeah! Sick of reading pile of shit(e). )

The team somehow makes sense if you look at it from OGS latest interview, but it did not perform non the less.

Best way to be - no two fans will ever agree on everything, and there's never any need for personal abuse.

IMO what a Pyle of Crap.

So you expected a win against the Jacks on their own turf? Laughable. No manager of ours has ever done it yet you expect Ole to do it within 6 games of his reign here. What a joke.

So you expected the same players to be put out for three games over 7 days? Do you want key players to be injured or burnt out for our winnable games?

The expectancy culture of our fans knows no bounds. Its tragic and these fans dont deserve success.

If we're not winning by half time the boos start. If we pass back to Marshall the boos start. If you dont get your own way the boos start. You're like a bunch of spoilt brats honestly.

We do not have the quality of Liverpool or Arsenal and we're nowhere near the levels of Man City or Chelsea yet you expect a win, win, win. Well NEWS FLASH for you pal, even they lose and draw games as we have proven this season.

I was clearly write with my blog post this morning - Solskjaer come out and said Noone had a knock. Mutch also had one. Yet you want to risk these players further serious injury in a game we're very likely to lose? You're off your rocker pal.

I've spoke to a few good old school fans this morning all dismayed with the fan base - not the rebrand - not the results - not the players - the fan base - it tells you everything. The Premier League has become a poisoned chalice and a lot of the fans are more plastic than the seats they sit in. These fans used to watch United and see wins every week but losing a lot now is a shock to them because they're not used to it.

Call it what you want...say what you want....

If you expect a win most weeks........theres the door.......go and support Manchester United or Manchester City or Arsenal.

If you're a realist who understands the tough rigours ahead and the sacrifices that have to be made for the long term good of the club and you're willing to back the team then stay on board.

Solskjaer's team selection made perfect sense to anyone with a bit of sense. You would be crying if Mutch or Noone got injured vs Swansea and this forum would probably have been even worse.

Our fans need to get their eyes off the Jacks - they're a mid table PL club with different ambitions to us and you need to get real - the Jacks relegation contenders? Get a grip FFS. They were still above the drop zone playing the worst football they've arguably played in 10 years.

If we keep sulking about the Jacks and take our eyes off the real prize we're going to miss out on it. If that happens the fans only have themselves to blame. Solskjaer thankfully, DUE TO HIS MANAGERIAL EXPERIENCE, is looking at the bigger picture.

Real football aint a frigging glorified spreadsheet and database with code that means after 2 days players return to a certain fitness level. Get a grip.

I dont even fear relegation. A club is not a league. A club is not a player. A club is not a manager. A club is not just the fans. A club is the coming together of all those elements to make something - something special. When you've not got that togetherness well quite frankly, you've got feck all.

That is a fact.

Fact. you are a very big head for a young man. Many on here are older posters than me and i
respect they have knowledge of football perhaps have played or watched it for many years?
you seem maybe to have FIFA14 and trust me it is not the same yet you write football like you
are Alex Ferguson

Made a thread about this myself the other day - totally agree with the decision to give people a rest gearing up for more important games at home. What's the point in making history if we end up going down as the result then have to hopefully battle back to play them again in the EPL?

I think it's a smart decision - A somewhat "moneyball" tactic if you will, the way I look at it, and I don't think my mind makes sense to many so good luck with this

Lets say playing mutch and noone gives us +5% of winning a game given their current fitness at the time
I don't believe even with that +5% we are even at a coinflip vs Swansea away.
But if you play them - imagine that that +5% now decreases to +1% on Tuesday - and goes back up to +3% on Saturday... you're decreasing your odds of winning two games throwing everything at one game, where we are not even favored.

So I guess if you believe the double is more important, then I totally understand your rage at the lineup. But I'm in the other camp and would rather us better our odds at the two home games where we already have a greater chance of victory.

All this doesnt explain why Whittingham was picked instead of Gunnarsson who would have provided much more solidity in a poor midfield. Also it doesnt explain why the substitutions were so poor. Like for like in the the absence of injury or cards is an admission of failure. Incidentally has apparently said the reason for Mutch's absence was that hw preferred Bellamy to him!

In Noone's absence for the Swansea game a better midfield would have been:

Medel
Gunnarsson
Mutch
Bellamy
Zaha
