Now we're just missing a free kick from Messi, and that'll be the average Barça game :D Edit: ^ not far off haha Yeah unsurprisingly after the lively performance against Dortmund it went to the same old stale shit. And then the Messi hard carry. | ||

It would take a miracle to get top 6 this season let alone top 4. So the question is if the board is happy with top 6 which would mean standards have fallen off a cliff for a club like United. | ||

Edit: I mean, performance matters too. He definitely depends on some type of positive development in more coherent attacking play being displayed and stuff like that. | ||

In my opinion Ole inherited a squad in shambles. The main problem in United since Ferguson left is that the players are either not good enough, or not consistent enough. They need players in the midfield that keeps the team together and performs on a high level each game. And Ole deserves some time here - that midfield squad seems thin as crisps. Pogba and Mctominay is out injured and last game it seems they started with Mata, Fred and Pereira. I remember the Mata-transfer as being widely criticized (as well as Fellaini-transfer) but hey, 6 years later he is still playing in United. Pereira is simply not that good. And what the hell was that signing of Fred for like 60m... Now, it isn't the players AT United that is the problem here. The problem is the reasons for better players NOT being in the club. A club need to do better signings and that is the simple truth. They had positions that needed filling for years but failed to put a long-term strategy in-place. Doing what Ole claimed to do, signing players who at least wants to play for the club and improving the squad seems like a good first step. | ||

Yeah agree but there needs to be results soon and some indication of a few signings in Jan because the patience is definitely running thin. | ||

![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/8IwWYXO.png) We all take these numbers for granted, but the consistency and the amount is ridiculous. Should've won a few more in my opinion, but because we're used to the numbers, he has to do something extraordinary on TOP of these numbers. I've seen people say that players like Sterling and Harry Kane have shown more this year (lol). While players like that peak in their performance and fall of the year after, Messi just keeps on scoring, creating chances, giving assists and winning thropies, more than any other player. Since he's been a starter in Barcelona, they've won 8 out of 11 La Liga's, and 4 of those have been without the Pep midfield. | ||
