A lot of danger early for Atleti, but nothing to show for it. It’s frustrating to not have anything to show for consistent pressure and solid attacking :francis:

Coach can't put the ball in the back of the net. I watched the match. From the 10th minute to around the 50th United had MULTIPLE clear chances and were putting pressure on West Ham. Tactically it was sound, dynamic and effective. Mainoo was playing well and even Bruno wasn't as insufferable as usual.

But the moment the ball got in the box it was a horror show. I agree with you, don't get me wrong. But you gotta put SOME blame on the players being THIS terrible.
That's cause he ain't coaching shyt. All your players can't be playing like a 2 pack of ass. It's all on ETH. Might have the worst talent Id ever.

Time to go
How are we at year 3 Ole, 1 and a half years in? :pachaha:

We have yet to beat a team in the top 9 away from home.

Watching this live is even worse. Watching McTominay ghosting, Antony being Antony, Garnacho falling all over the place, Bruno yelling at the ref and Hojlund get tossed around like a prisoner on Oz.


Watching Mainoo make that mistake. :mjcry:

Aston Villa will slap us up on boxing day and Nottignham Forest to take a point minimum against us.

Think Mclaren and Mitchell van der Gaag do the coaching, like Mckenna and Carrick with Ole.

Listen, I think he's ass too. But at SOME POINT a player has to step up and take control of the team. SOMEONE has to bang in a goal. Someone has to understand "damn, I need to at least have some value to get of this sinking ship" and pad some stats.

At this point it's about their pride as players and professionals. That's got nothing to do with coaching. I'm talking about some of these guys' characters as human beings.
