What say you, Pele?
By Cleff Go To PostCan't keep our consistent anymore.yeah, it's a problem that when we can't get someone we shit on them from great heights.
doing that to Raiola because he went to dortmund was dumb as hell. Why can't they just keep quiet ffs. We lost the bid. Dortmund is a much better team for him and Raiola will keep getting players going to him because he's able to negotiate crazy amount of wages for them.
By Willkiller Go To PostAmazing move from Ole to give Rashford those 16 mins in the cup.Since being given the job permanently he’s got a winning percentage of 36.67%. Madness how he’s still in the job.
What a manager.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostSince being given the job permanently he’s got a winning percentage of 36.67%. Madness how he’s still in the job.Cherry picking stats is fun.
Lampard: Terrible record against the big teams, lost to United twice, knocked out of the league cup by United, no chance of winning the Champions League, their form since November has been terrible losing almost half their games, in serious danger of dropping out of the top 4 = doing well
Ole: Beaten most of the big teams, beaten Chelsea twice, still in all the cups, just outside the top 4, has done all this while having one of the biggest injury lists in the league = Madness how he's still in a job
By Doicare Go To PostCherry picking stats is fun.Lampard = winning percentage of 51.5%

By Fergie Go To PostHe was always a talent, his bomb runs on the flank were awesome.
By Vini.lad Go To PostBig talentSeems like all signs are pointing to us buying him, then giving him to Raul in Castilla. Curious to see how he develops.
Buy him
By Perfect Blue Go To PostLampard = winning percentage of 51.5%here's what matters
Ole = winning percentage of 36.67%
Lampard = never smiles
Ole = constantly grinning
fucking hell. liverpool are ahead thirteen points with two games in hand.
shame there won't be a slip again this season.
51.5 + 36.67 = 88,17
88,17 - 88,1 = 0,07
0,07 + 6.93 = 7
7 is the number of legendary united players
7 is also the number alexis sanchez, which is very unfortunate

Only judging Ole's win percentage from his after he went 15 games unbeaten winning 13 of them is kinda intellectually dishonest.
By Daz Go To PostOnly judging Ole's win percentage from his after he went 15 games unbeaten winning 13 of them is kinda intellectually dishonest.Okay. If you include his interim spell too it’s still only 48.8%.
Mourinho was apparently sacked with a 53.8%...
I dont even blame him from using Rashford. The fact that we are lacking in firepower, and Woodward hasnt done anything about it is the problem.
20 days into January and we are still fiddling our fingers about a midfield reinforcement because we are looking at the summer transfer window. Something that is getting less and less probable for us to get the player we want, when our reputation is in freefall.
A good job all around.

By Perfect Blue Go To PostLampard = winning percentage of 51.5%The reason why this is a cherry picked stat is that it ignores that draws are worth points as well, shall we see what happens when we add draws to the results of both these managers........
Ole = winning percentage of 36.67%
Ole total games:
W 33
D 13
L 17
112 points 63 games
1.78 points per game
Lampard:
W 17
D 5
L 11
56 points 33 games
1.70 points per game
Oh but wait! Even tho United have had the harder cup draws shall we remove those and just look at the league stats........
Ole League:
W 21
D 11
L 11
74 points 43 games
1.72 points per game
Lampard League:
W 12
D 3
L 8
39 points 23 games

I look forward to your reply.

Chelsea are 4th. Man U are 5th. There is a 5 point cushion.
doicare won
Win percentage is fairly silly, he's right. Why would we ignore points accrued in draws against better teams, for instance?

FWIW, Lampard is doing a great job irrespective of points per game, points cushions, losses like yesterday. He's had a transfer ban, he's routinely starting games with four or five youth team products in the starting XI, and he has a definable style of play.
By Willkiller Go To PostChelsea are 4th. Man U are 5th. There is a 5 point cushion.1. That's not what the original conversation was about.
2. The reason why is United have had more injuries than Chelsea.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostOkay. If you include his interim spell too it’s still only 48.8%.Why make the "since fully appointed" qualifier at all then?
Mourinho was apparently sacked with a 53.8%…
By Doicare Go To PostThe reason why this is a cherry picked stat is that it ignores that draws are worth points as well, shall we see what happens when we add draws to the results of both these managers……..You brought up Lampard, not I lol. The original post was just about Ole. Ole has had twice as many matches under his belt, United’s infinite budget, and isn’t ham strung by a transfer ban. If you want to argue Ole is doing slightly better than a manager in his second year of management who can’t buy players and that’s the level United should be compared to, by all means.

I dont like to bring up Lampard, but Chelsea has a much better team than United, where even most of the youth players that are starting already had pro games after going on loans. That youth system finally pays off big time during the 6 months transfer ban.
Our though, holy shit we shit the bed with our u23 players. The recent well performing bunch came from the u18 after that badly managed generation.

That's also not going into that we went into the season overburdened by underperforming players and trying to get rid as much as we could. Only Lukaku was the one that went with a notable transfer fee. We still have to deal with Jones, Matic, Pereira, Lingard, and Shaw.

Lampard inherited a team that finished 3rd while Solskjaer inherited a team in 6th. Lampard started managing a better team & while Chelsea have had a transfer ban for 1 window in which they still bought Pulisic in preparation for this & Kovacic during the window, United have been crippled by one of the worst injury lists in the league. If you think Solskjaer is crap then your opinion of Frank must be terrible.
By batong Go To PostWhy do you guys still argue with that waste.Heeeeeeeey don't speak about Perfect Blue like that.
By Doicare Go To PostLampard inherited a team that finished 3rd
Except the lack of Hazard, easily the best forward player at Chelsea (and one of the best in the league), that almost every fucking attack went through. But #keepsmiling oli boi
yurt i am happy to tell you, that i finally fixed fromsofts shit designs, and made sekiro great again
