Can someone explain to me why it's going to take Ole several seasons to get Utd competing again whilst it's taken Rodgers almost exactly the same time to take Leicester from top six hopefuls to looking like they genuinely belong inside the top three?

Leicester already had a good squad, balanced, young, and with some quality in midfield, and a very good striker.

Unfortunately we haven’t got a very good striker, and lack attacking quality in midfield.

Jammy knows that but likes a good wum.

And a lot of deadwood to get rid of.

A fair point. I think I said nothing would surprise me. But we’ve been surprisingly awful.

And how many penalty's ?

Penalties.

We scored 4 against Chelsea. How many did you?

Different Chelsea back than, and considering the other United games it was a freak result for United as well.

How many did you score against AZ ?

Yeah, different Chelsea. Boo Hoo.

Mocking Utd at the moment is like shooting fish in a barrel. We’re terrible. We know it. Just awful. You can move on, WUMs.

Lukaku scoring again tonight for Internazionale.

Last 4 League games:

LDLD

For clarity and avoidance of obfuscation, that means loss, draw, loss, draw.

So did Depay for Lyon. Dimaria is on fire as well for PSG, both goals and assists.

Di Maria could score 30 goals a game and I still wouldn’t want the snivelling coward of a man anywhere near our club .

Just because a question asked doesn't paint Utd or Ole in a great light doesn't mean it's a wind up!

I thought it was a fair comparison since both managers have been at their respective clubs for a similar amount of time. Both took over squads that I would say were at similar levels and both have had one transfer window to make some changes.

The whole "it'll take time" thing is an excuse and utter bowlocks.

As has been pointed out, Leicester are not exactly struggling. Frank Lampard and his team of 12 year olds are performing well. Even Arsenal are looking respectable.

The answer is our dogstter Board have hired a dogstter manager and splurged stupid, stupid amounts of money on dogstter players.

There is NO valid excuse for where we are in the table and it's embarrassing listening to the meaningless crap all those at the club spew out at the fans.

Get rid of the lame duck pretending he knows how to manage the team. Get rid of the lame duck pretending he knows how to manage a football club and we'll see some progress.

Looking forward to our game against Norwich later. No doubt we'll have 2 shots on target and we can claim the st result is all part of the planned rebuilding.
