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.

As far as I'm concerned and everyone around me during the game he played the wrong team,what's annoying is we just rolled over,far enough is the team give their all and lost,but all of them had no fight in them

If your unwilling to put your best team on the pitch to play against your fiercest rival then that is unacceptable...If he wasn't the new man i'd be calling for a sacking

first of all I'm not a booooo boy, I'm not normally a moaner after all I used to watch Cardiff in the old fourth division and I'll support them when ever but IMO I think Ole got it wrong sat unforgiving.

Re: Solskjær's team selection was 100% right

Mon Feb 10, 2014 3:43 pm

When you present it like that it sounds very reasonable and logical, but it's just so hard to convince myself that Ole didn't have a bit of a mind wobble when he selected the team on Saturday.

I'm starting to come to terms with the fact that just about any manager will know more about football than I do, they get to work with the players every day and they get to see who's picked up niggles etc. I believe Ole even said today that the reason Noone didn't play was because he had a bit of a niggle that wasn't worth risking?

Mutch had also been brought off against Norwich with a bit of an injury worry, his third one in as many games so in hindsight it would have been silly to start Mutch just to have to bring him off with another injury 60 minutes into the game. I'm still baffled by the selection, but your points make it seem a lot more reasonable than I thought.

Mon Feb 10, 2014 3:45 pm

If that site is one guys comments/thoughts - it is somewhat odd that he chastises people and yet in his previous pre match post he names Mutch and Noone in the team :laughing6:

Re: Solskjær's team selection was 100% right

Mon Feb 10, 2014 3:45 pm

If these knocks are genuine then it does put me at ease a little as i couldn't believe the selection and thought O.G.S. had gone a bit loopy. It's not just losing against agreeably a better team but the tame way we played in the second half that was the real shame. Seen us lose many times against them in person but this time on the television but this real hit harder than normal for reasons already covered. Hopefully injury free for villa and the boys can get the result we need

Would you rather win vs the Jacks, Noone gets injured and we go down, or lose against the Jacks once in the season, Noone gets to 100% and we stay up?

To risk Noone and Mutch in a game we're expected to lose is absurd. Solskjaer played it right with two important winnable games at home coming up.

Id have loved to win the derby. Ideally id love to win every game. Football and life is rarely ideal and you make do with what you have. Ole is making do with what he has and thats a team with championship level players and a few players who can make a difference. Lose one of those difference makers to injury and we're guaranteed to be going back to the championship.

I would have chose them but I did not know of their injuries then. Keep digging son. I'll even buy you a shovel and help. On reflection, post game, the squad rotation makes sense.

Spot on mate. Had they got injured, our difference makers, we'd be in proper turmoil then. People are more gutted by the Swansea result because it was 3-0. I thought we'd lose it 2-1 or 1-0 but I hoped we'd win. My heart wanted a 2-1 win, my head told me we'd lose. Did I expect a 3-0 loss? No....but then a loss is a loss and we need to take our eyes off Swansea. They're mid table PL team. If we manage to stay up we can focus on them in a couple of years when we've earned our PL stripes.

Spot on. If Mutch and Noone lead us to victory tomorrow against Villa and help us pick up a point or 3 vs Hull City then some on here will be praising their impact - an impact they may not have had if they were played with niggles in the Swansea game.

I want them 100% ready and raring to go in these games vs Villa and Hull, games we can win at home. :ayatollah:

Mutch had a knock. Noone had a knock. You think we should risk further injuries to our 2 key players? Are you mad? Without their influence we're as good as down regardless. Is that what you want?

And yes, given our form at home and our form away from home, the Villa game is far more winnable than the Swansea game.

Footballers are not rechargeable robots who can be deployed in peak condition ready for the job to be done. Get real.

The Premier League has become a poisoned chalice and a lot of the fans are more plastic than the seats they sit in.

I used to go consistently. I used to go before Scarfgate in fact then Tan tried to buy all the plastics over with free red scarves and all the plastics took them and started wearing them. It was pathetic. I've not been to a game since - Premier League or Champions League - until we're blue again or Tan goes.

If Tan hadn't rebranded us then I would have bought a season ticket now. I have a gold membership in the case he decides to see some sense later on this year. I doubt it though, the bloke is bonkers.

Also, television and analysis is a wonderful thing. I suppose Gary Neville who does his analysis via technology is also full of shit too? Oh wait, no he knows more than you. I watch every game somehow.
