Squad has issues but Ole should be doing way better.
Defensive pressing is complete trash, that's all on Ole. It's amateurish.
Tactics and adjustments are awful. Substitutions
Allegri isand I can't stand his tactics but he would have this team organized and looking way better.
100% agreed.

I'm still stuck on Ole is trash and has to go.
Next manager, squad and board can be dealt with after the PE Teacher bum is out.
Ole relegated Cardiff and had them mid-table in the Championship before he was sacked.
The majority of the manager in the EPL are better than him.
He's got Pogba, Matic and Bruno in the midfield (Fred and VdB on the bench) and can't control the match at all.
This is not a McTominay, Fellaini, Mata midfield Mourinho had.
4-2-3-1 hasn't worked for 7 matches now but he keeps forcing it.
Ole's got one of the best finishers in the game today but he has him isolated out on right wing. Greenwood in the box is a scary sight but he's unable to get him in position.
Martial had 7 touches in the first half with Pogba, Bruno and Matic behind him
That's all on Ole.
Edit: of course still not winning a title but should at least look competent.
They didn't get him any players he wanted
When is it the board and the players? These guys have won shyt, but a few Cups and a 2nd tier European league.
Lol that was hilarious.
Can't take the L so just destroy the integrity of the whole game.

Basically, we shouldn't be getting outplayed by Palace or Brighton. Two teams that will finish under the top 10.
Our squad depth is trash and we need to buy better quality players but the United tax is a problem and having an incompetent board for a club our size is laughable.
But our staff is also to blame, we can't even beat a press from fukking West Ham.
A good coach should help iron out the issues on the pitch, Liverpool don't spend that much. Hell, some of the players were from mid table or relegated teams and it didn't stop them from becoming a once again top tier team because Klopp knows how to coach.

Will look awful next two matches but then get 4 points from Arsenal and Chelsea.
Will then play awful again next 3 matches but then beat Man City before Christmas

To beat Palace ...? To outplay Brighton? To play with identity?
Somehow other managers don't need 200 million to impose some structure on their teams.
Everton, Wolves, Leicester, Leeds ...
Anyway no matter.. plenty more of that crap to come to show you the error of your ways ..,

Beat Man City with 28% PossessionWill look awful next two matches but then get 4 points from Arsenal and Chelsea.

Then we drew to Big Dunc's Everton a few days later and lost to Watford a week after that.
We'll draw with Tottenham, then lose 1-0 to Newcastle.
Don't care about the EFL cup, but I think we'll beat Brighton. It'll be similar to how we beat them today. Can't even competently beat Luton without the Greenwood, Rashford and Bruno.
