On a personal level.
Kelių podcastų paklausiau po rungtynių, tai general consensus sporto žurnalistų (pas kuriuos žinios iš agentų, kūrvų ir trečios eilės pusbrolių) yra toks, kad geri žaidėjai nėra perdėm patenkinti. Perfrazuojant mintis tokia, kad „the Brunos, Pogbas and Rashfords want to be better and to improve but they seem to be lost because there's a lack of coaching from the manager“.

It was in the away dressing room of the King Power Stadium, as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer tried to wrap his head round the problems afflicting Manchester United, that some of the players listening to his speech allowed the seeds of discontent to grow.
Solskjaer asked his team for their thoughts on the issues causing United to leak chances week after week. More than one concluded that the answer was the man posing the question.

Commenting on the appointment, first team manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said: “Darren has the United DNA running through his veins and he knows exactly what it takes to be a Manchester United player.

uh oh

Notice that the charts on the top and in the middle are split by home and away matches. Let's start in the top-left corner and work our way down:

Formations. Solskjaer favored a 4-2-3-1 formation but occasionally used three at the back, both home and away.

Average seconds to recover possession in open play. We measured the time between possessions in open play to see which clubs got the ball back the most quickly. Solskjaer's teams regained possession in less time than the majority of Premier League teams, especially in away matches.

Attacking style. We measure directness by looking at the total distance the ball travels during a possession versus the shortest distance to goal. A club team that passes and dribbles 100m to get 50m closer to goal is less direct than one that uses just 80m to make the same progress. We also look at the frequency of aerials in attack. Solskjaer's side was among the least likely to play in the air and was just a touch below average in terms of directness.

Defending style. We look at what happens when a team has the ball in its own half and then compare how likely they are to play out of the back versus clearing the ball or going long. We also measure the height of their press by checking how far up the pitch they tend to recover (or try to recover) balls when out of possession. Solskjaer's squad was among the most likely to play out and pressed higher at home than away.

Game flow and average substitution times. We track when teams generate expected goals in both of our models – shot creation and ball progression – and then average them minute-by-minute across all matches. Manchester United's attacking threat tended to peak around 65' under Solskjaer, and their defending was softest on either side of the break. Their attacking was more dangerous at home as a rule. Solskjaer's substitution times were similar home and away.

Average xGD. We compare expected goal difference across both halves to see how a coach uses his resources over the course of matches. Solskjaer's teams performed better in second halfs, notably in away matches, suggesting he was able to make adjustments and/or motivate them to finish strongly.

Average points. We want to see whether coaches can maintain and/or turn around results using the players at their disposal. Despite their superior expected goal difference in second halves, Manchester United still gave away more points than they gained in the closing stages of matches. The net cost was about four points over the course of the 2019-20 season, but they may have been rather unlucky in this respect.

FB touches. Manchester United's fullbacks rarely came inside to the middle of the pitch under Solskjaer, and his RBs were more adventurous in attack than his LBs.

W/WM touches. By contrast, Solskjaer's wingers and/or wide midfielders did come inside quite often in the attacking half. His right-sided wide players tracked back rather more than the left-sided ones.

Shot locations in open play. Manchester United's shots were spread fairly broadly across the penalty area and even beyond, with a lot of shots taken from wide angles, particularly on the left side. These shots usually have a low chance of scoring.

xGF effect per match. As explained in our article on black coaches in global football, we predict how well a club should perform based on the previous output of its players, then compare our predictions with actual results to see whether the head coach may be having a beneficial effect. Solskjaer's teams seemed less effective in attack than we predicted – about 0.15 xG less per game across our models – so we assigned a low probability of a beneficial effect.

xGA effect per match. By contrast, we estimated that Solskjaer's teams conceded 0.23 xG less than expected per match. This was virtually certain to signify a beneficial effect in comparison to the levels of performance that we expected from his players.

Ne

Ole has a 49% win rate (lowest of any post SAF manager & lowest since Sexton got sacked in 1981)

Since being appointed permanent manager he’s got a 25% win rate (7 wins in 28 games).

Targetmanu pas juos galima būtų pavadint nebent Origi. Mūsų žaidėjai 8 iš 10 kartų crossina bet kur, nepažiūrėję ar išvis yra koks nors adresatas arba bando kelti iš tokių pozicijų, kad viskas baigiasi spyriu į varžovą.

<...>the lengthiest run in the Premier League without a goal from a corner or free-kick went on. It is now 218 days since United last scored from a set-piece, not including penalties. No top-flight club has been forced to wait longer.

“You wouldn’t mind scoring a few goals on set-plays,” said Ole Gunnar Solskjaer ahead of the Arsenal match when asked about United’s scoring record generally. United’s manager is clearly aware of the trend and wants it amending.

His team last found the net from a set-piece against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on February 27, through Romelu Lukaku. That came from an outswinging Young corner, headed back by Chris Smalling and flicked on by Victor Lindelof. Lukaku waited for the ball to bounce, swivelled, and hooked it high into the net.

Since then, every other Premier League club has scored at least once from a corner or free-kick.

Kas liečia žaidėjų fizinį parengimą, tai po pirmų kelių OGS rungtynių jau matėsi, kad antro kėlinio antroj pusėj jau visi padusę laksto. Bet kokiu atveju, teisingai sako treneriukas, kad nesąmonė būtų buvus toliau parkuot autobusą ir laukti off-season, kad tinkamai fiziškai paruošti komandą. Dabar ir pačio šansai gaut menedžerio darbą sutvirtėjo, ir tam portugališkam vėžiui sėkmingas gydymas paskirtas, ir watching United is great again. Dėl traumų, aišku, gaila, bet gal koks Rashford2 gaus šansą.

Bet tai įdomu, ką tas dinozauras su jais veikė priešsezony. Treniravosi, kad reikės tik gintis ir max ~30 metrų nubėgt nuo baudos aikštelės prieigų iki vidurio?

Bet ar remiantis tokia strategija ir turint tiek traumuotų žaidėjų bei galimai tam kiekiui nemažėjant ir, tikėtina, dėl to dažniau gaunamiems neigiamiems rezultatams nemažėja OGS galimybės pasilikti?

Mourinho sunėręs rankas sėdėjo prie savo papkės, kurioje pilna išbraukytų pavardžių ir laukė kol už ne pigiai ateis specialaus paruošimo nereikalaujantys žaidėjai, galintys duoti rezultatus čia ir dabar. Neveltui dabar visur pabrėžia, jog eis į klubą, kuriame gaus tik tai ko nori.

O bet tačiau vis tiek ima pyktis, už lango eina 2020 metai ir tokius pinigus generuojanti lyga nesugeba fanams pateikti kažko daugiau nei šimtą metų egzistuojanti defaultinė atliktų smūgių, praleistų įvarčių, padarytų pražangų statistika.
