Alright Red Devil Army, it’s this time of week again. Another week that promised so much but gave so little. So let’s jump straight into it.

Sunday afternoon, Goodison Park, away fixture to Everton. We rocked up hoping (and expecting) to come away with 3 points, but boy were we quickly put back in our places after just 13 minutes of play. From this point on it all spiraled out of control and was a day most of us die hards would rather forget. I would have thought that the fight to finish in the top 4 would have inspired some kind of fight and resilience from our players but instead it turned out to be a day when no wage was earned or deserved. So lets move straight on and forget that match ever happened.

YES, it was that bad.

Our mid week fixtture against our rivals from across town, Manchester City, proved to be another dagger in the heart as we came out of that match with a grueling 2-0 defeat.

So… the question has to be asked. Where is it all going wrong?

Just when things were starting to look hopeful and we were stringing a few wins together, and a top 4 finish was not out of sight, we’ve been hit with a dose of reality. By now its no longer in doubt that this beautiful club of ours, is dying slowly. If Ole still insists on using dismal and mediocre players just because they are British, then it is nothing but doom for the club. Also… who brought Fred to Man United? He and some of his colleagues don’t seem to know the pedigree of the club that they are playing for.

Now. let’s move on to one man in particular. Paul Pogba. as i have often said, if you’ve got weeds in the garden, you’ve got to get rid of them. Why do we keep persisting with a man who clearly doesn’t show any interest and does not belong in our starting line up at the moment. No individual is bigger than Manchester United, and perhaps Pogba is now too big an influence at the club. He should be the first one Ole should sacrifice when he begins a rebuild of this club that is inevitable. His work-rate and desire on the pitch is truly embarrassing to us fans who show up week in week out and support this once great club that we would die for.

Another question that i’ll pose to the Red Devil Army, Is Ole the one?

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer did nothing in his managerial career to merit a job as the Manchester United one. In my opinion i believe that he does not have the tactical solutions to solve games. His style of football is reliant in the extreme on the form of his goalkeeper and his centre forwards. It is percentage football. There is little difference in how Ole sets uo in the big games and how Mourinho would. The only difference is that Mourinho actually had a successful career behind him.

Looking ahead we’ve got another big match up this week against in form Chelsea on Sunday afternoon. I know for one that no matter how bad we played last week or the fact that we’ve lost 7 of our past 9 games won’t affect how i feel going into the match. I still believe we can win every match we head in to and this week is no different. I’m hoping our players will be motivated to show us fans and the footballing world what they are actually capable of in front of a big home crowd at Old Trafford.

Anyway, that’s enough of a rant from me for another week… just hoping this time next week i’ll be reporting back on a big win that will bring hope back to the army.

As usual, Get in you reds!!
