How the hell Solksjaer got the job, I don’t know.

He was their short-term solution and managed to get great initial results. They rewarded him with a 3-year contract after that and now they are paying for his inexperience.

But, to be honest, I think Solskjaer is not the problem. He's not a manager for United, but he's managing well with what he's got. Woodward is the big problem there and I'm fascinated that he's still keeping his position.

Long may it continue! Grin

People has been criticizing Woodward for years but he still keeps his position. To be honest, Im not even shocked with the result today. It feels this is kinda classic Manchester United's game where they flop against team like crystal palace in their first game of the season . Crystal Palace now 'seems' like a solid team after getting 2 wins in a row lol !

Meanwhile Arsenal won the game, all today's game ended with favourites to win the game except for Manchester United

@arallmuus I knew we were going to loose this game badly the moment I saw the team sheet, because he played two fringe player’s (Fosu-Mensah and James) instead of starting Greenwood and Van De Beek or Matic. Also in my opinion Solskjaer has surrendered to the board, and he only keeps saying things to keep them in good light, but if Sancho and a defender yet comes then this season can yet be saved.

Quote

Those concerns would have intensified on Saturday night just before United's belated start when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer named Dan James, whose form plummeted in the final third of last season

Just yesterday, we talked about Manchester United always messing up when much is expected from them. Today's result once again proved that. No offense to Man Utd fans on the forum but they were quite wasteful upfront  and at the back. De gea had to be called in one too many to make crucial saves.  It's a shame they got beaten in their first game of the season at their home against a mid-tier team. If they keep up with performances like this, they'd be no where near the top of the table.
We surely did talk and for a fact, I don't see them within the top four position on the league table. Manchester United team has got a lot of work on the orientation of it's team. De gea has been the grace of the team as far as I can tell, he's errors are only seen to arise from a slack in the defence.
I agree with you. The market should be closed before the season starts. Changing players after the season has already started always causes unrest in the clubs concerned. Of course, there should be exceptions like in the current Corona phase where seasons start very differently in leagues.
It might seem unusual but, a necessity. A lot is been done to keep up the spirit of sportsmanship amongst fans. Imagine big leagues playing without selling viewing tickets. What a loss! But then, the fans have got to be entertained and the games is got to get going.
The season is already unusual with the way it starts, no breaks and all that so, unusual adjustment is a necessity.

I hate these seasons when the market is still open during the League.

It's nice to see Everton and Arsenal in the top even you know is only the second game with 1 game of advantage Grin

It's not obvious, Manchester United don't do so well when it is expected of them. Always having a hard time with small teams and that's why, they are not my choice in placing a bet.

yeah, Leeds seems to be playing only 4:3 scores this season, one win, one lose, but both with seven goals and 4:3 score
Lol,,, seems they love that score line. Who would blame them, when they kick start their first game of the season with a team like Liverpool. I guess they are bent on keeping the pace. Seriously, they are a team to watch out for this season. Leeds!
Manchester United have been beaten by 3 goals to 1 at Old Trafford. lol
Their old boy Zaha Managed to bag 2 goals against them. Honestly Man United to do more recruitment especially at the defense if they really want to contend for the title. Their back line is in shambles.

New season but it's old shitty Manchester United. Lost on their home ground lol. This defender Maguire cost them 83million lol. How they bought it? Because of English Media hype.

Thank god didn't put any money on them.

Nothing will change until they get a proper manager in with a track record of being successful, winning trophies. How the hell Solksjaer got the job, I don’t know. He is nowhere near qualified enough to get that position. Man Utd won’t be getting anywhere near the title for a good few years.

For unknown reasons there are targeted criticism at Maguire, is it his cost as a defender? or pure hatred vibes?
The entire Manchester united team were total shambles from start to finish. Fosu-mensah was no where to be found for the first goal, while Shaw left his marker with over 4 yards of space; meanwhile Lindelof was guilty for all 3 goals, for the first and third goal, he was bungled out of a tackle he should have won two times, and got unfortunate with a ball to hand situation.
Come on, don't tell us you are not sure why Maguire is being critised, this has nothing to do with pure hatred but rather;
1. His price tag, it does not reflect what he has so far put on table for Man United
2. How good he used to be in Leicester City and how shitty he is now in Manchester United
3. He's the captain, he's supposed to show qualities expected of any captain on the pitch, but he doesn't.

Terrible team performances, with same problems widely exposed, A CB, and  LB. Lets see how Woodward and the board reacts.
A good win for Palace

Leeds - Fulham match is so crazy to watch. It is 4-3 again and still 20 more mins to go, I really need this to go for Leeds, but very intense match to watch and very high intensity play going on.
7 goals scored in each of the first two games played today, Leeds 4-3 Fulham and Everton 5-2 West Brom!
We will see how much will Arsenal and Man United score  Wink

yeah, Leeds seems to be playing only 4:3 scores this season, one win, one lose, but both with seven goals and 4:3 score
Everton started with two wins, simply great

Less than 15 minutes left and the score is 0-2, Crystal Palace just scored a penalty kick... Losing this game vs a weaker team in your home shouldn't be an option for ManU really!...

Man Utd. has classic way of messing and there it is. Defense was really poor and they should consider bringing some new central defenders. They really should now leave focus on bringing Sancho in United and maybe try searching some defenders.

TBH I didn't find any promising attacks from Man Utd. as well.

What about Havertz? He is their most expensive signature so I am quite sure he will play as well. In the first match he was deployed on right wing (Ziyech position) and that is probably his best position if Chelsea continues to play 4-3-3 and they more or less have to after what they did in this transfer window. Maybe he can play as most attacking from the 3 players in midfield with Kante and Kovacic behind him. If Chelsea goes for that option Mount will probably lose lots of playing minutes.

Havertz is good. His debut match didn't went off as expected but anyway he has just started off and have yet to go on and prove. In Leverkusen he used to play attacking mid and sometimes on right wing. So yeah Lampard can make use of him in both mid and wing positions.

39 minutes gone & it’s Man Utd 0-1 Crystal Palace. I didn’t expect this kind of score, Man Utd are struggling to break down a really determined Crystal Palace defence, plenty of time to go but their fans will not he happy if they lose at home to a team like Crystal Palace.
it seems that MU's luck is not too good at the beginning of this season...
Townsend's 7th-minute goal took me by surprise. MU will definitely lose face if they lose in this match.

Fulham had a horrible start at their first game after they were promoted to the English Premier League this season, as Fulham lost the match by allowing Arsenal to score 3 goals against them.
As a promotion team to the EPL, Fulham certainly has the ability to do their best until the end. But Arsenal is not an easy opponent for them and 3 goalsl proved that Arsenal deserved to win the match. However, a bad start is not a sign that they will be bad forever and they must be able to bounce back and prove that they deserve to stay in the EPL until next season. EPL is not an easy league because every team play quite competitively.

Its time to look forward to the Manchester United vs Crystal Palace match.
