Ole Gunnar Solskjaer given word of advice from his own player after Man Utd succumb to Leicester
After Manchester United were defeated by Leicester City, Paul Pogba counseled his manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Pogba was part of Manchester United’s 4-2 loss to Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.
Once again, it was difficult to decipher exactly what Man United were attempting to accomplish.
What exactly is the philosophy? What is the football brand? It’s all a little hazy.
Man United’s performances have been disappointing, with no real signs of improvement visible to the fans.
Unfortunately, the defeat to Leicester will have come as a surprise to very few of them.
“To be honest, we’ve been having this kind of game for a long time and we haven’t found the problem,” Pogba said.
“We need to find what’s the problem, to concede easy goals, stupid goals, when we know those games where we play on this pitch, the fans are going to push, put pressure on us and everything. We need to be more mature, I think. We need to play with more experience, arrogance in a good way. We have to take the ball and play our football.
“But now we have to find what’s the key of these games that we lose. Because I think we deserved to lose today.
“We need to find something, we need to change something. I don’t know if the mindset of all of us, the players, when we start… we really don’t know. It’s frustrating because it’s something we don’t understand and we have to find that very fast because if you want to compete and you want to win the title, those games you have to win, even though they are very hard and we’re playing away.
“You need to fight their game, you need to find the right mentality, the right tactic to win those games. That’s my thought. We have time to think about it and then all together, we have to stick together and find the problem.”
Of course, that is easier said than done, but Pogba is correct in stating that Manchester United must settle on a style of play and work on it on the training fields.
Manchester City, Chelsea, and Liverpool all have a distinct style and direction, whereas Solskjaer is simply attempting to play hero-ball with eleven individual (very good) players.
The cracks are beginning to show, and Solskjaer needs to find a solution to what’s going wrong as soon as possible, or he may lose his job.
