Quote yr previous words n comments again tonite bro.. so true ... sigh.. they never learn their lesson... 2nd half always kena attack by the strong Watford strikers again n again.. no urgency to score goals until the last few minutes... defence so poor n DDG is hopeless tonite... let the ball in thru his hands n can't even save a penalty... really Ayam brand ... so disgraceful to lose to a bottom team n by 2 goals some more w/o even scoring one themselves

Losing 2-0 to the last team on the table... and how much did Manchester United spend? Over 100 million before the season start?

I actually surprised that they still haven’t sack ole yet... he got no plan B... he keep playing Fred for dunno what reason... and I dun think he got even a clue in what he is doing... Lingard,Fred,Martial,Jones and Pogba need to go ASAP!!!

last night was facepalm vomit blood with two mistakes and wasted chances

the lack of urgency when they play teams below them has been endemic all season. they know what to do when flair teams come at them: absorb pressure and counter with speed, but they don't know how to break down opponents who sit back. it seems that ogs has ingrained only one mode of playing

when pogba came on, there was more flow and chances. he has the vision and range of passing to pick out attackers' runs, which mctominay and fred lack. ogs refusal to play matic is why the midfield is soft and prone to being overrun, i think the midfield trio of mctominay, matic and pogba is the optimal combo

As long as OGS is in charge... they r going down to relegation zone... the guy don't even hv a clue how to turn things around when they r down...cant motivate his players does not want to recruit new talent n just keep on saying it will get better next season... by the time next season comes, they would hv been relegated.. the players are simply too lazy n hv no desire to play n win every match under his charge ...they r definitely not playing for him, even a blind man can see that....they r just too relax.. inviting the enemy to attack them furiously n then can't defend properly n kena goal.. sigh..

they don't know how to shoot long n high balls like poopa did last nite to make their enemy defence panic n then can score goals...omg !...if cannot penetrate their enemy's defence by just passing about, then kick those long and high ball lor... lidat oso must teach him how to play his team

A rare dominant win against Newcastle, rather than a counter-attacking/sucker-punching one. Albeit being gifted twice by Newcastle (they were in a xmas giving mood I guess ) Could have been 5 or 6 and Martial was unlucky not to get a hat trick. Pogba looks lively but just lacking that match-sharpness while being eased back into action.

Rashford+Martial+Greenwood look like they should be the permanent front 3.

And guys, relax lah... This is obviously a team that is thin on backup, that is being rebuilt. It is expected that results will be inconsistent and frustrating. Especially since a key player has been out for months.

The previous recruitment fucked it up so badly over 6 years and it cannot be undone in one transfer window. OGS has only had one summer to recruit so far and he has done reasonably well. Expect two more windows of recruitment before we can build a consistent top-4 team and another two more to build depth to a team that can challenge for the title. You can identify transfer targets but you can't get them all in one window. And in the past 6 years we have seen too much panic and marquee buying - I think OGS' buying policy is better, but he just needs time. SAF took 3 years to win one FA Cup and 6 years before he won the league for the first time.

newcastle's goal: when fred lost the ball (again) and newcastle countered, the defence was all over the place when being run at. when longstaff scored, siao liao, here we go again (haiz)

man u's 1st goal: good build up play on the left

2nd goal: gift from newcastle, brilliant finish by greenwood

3rd goal: wan-bissaka's cross is a dream for any targetman to power it home. he has to make more forward runs down the right and put in more crosses, same goes for shaw

4th goal: 2nd gift from newcastle, martial finished coolly with a chip, could have scored a hattrick

its a big worry that mctominay suffered an injury, this time knee ligament, he might be out for quite some time. i have no faith in fred and pereira in center mid, matic must be recalled

yes, ogs needs more transfer windows to properly put together a squad. when u look at the squad, pogba is the only one who has the vision and passing to pick out attackers' runs, but what happens when he is injured? in the past, scholes/beckham or scholes/rooney would usually playmake, at least there was an alternative. if pogba is out, there is no alternative. ogs has to sign 1-2 players who possess vision and passing, but its likely they don't come cheap or they don't want to join man u at all, then ogs has to develop from within. its rumoured that ogs will sign erling haaland, if true, he may be a good targetman and ogs' plan b

Yep, a creative playmaker as backup or rotation with Pogba is a must. That is one of the positions Solskjaer has to recruit for. Apparently they think James Maddison is the one.

Erling Haaland - he would be a good catch but definitely not the finished article yet. Latest rumour is that the most-hated agent Mino Raiola is engineering for him to move to Juve instead.

The general principle for a title-winning/challenging team is to have two world-class players in every position. Right now we probably have only 4 players or so who are automatic starters for their national teams. Let alone 2 for every position. SAF days, we had almost the whole first team away on duty during international weeks.

Haaland I dun think he would come to Manchester United...

For me Pogba and martial are not up to the standard yet... they can’t change a game and certainly they are not match winner! Especially for Pogba I dun even think he is world class.... without him in Juventus or France team,u think they can’t win title or the World Cup? He just in a team with much more better players around him...

And for ole just my pov I think he not the right guy to Manchester United to another level... he just being mr nice guy to everyone! My prediction will be 6-8th position this year in the league table for us...

But still gd job to them for beating Newcastle United
