Morning Ed cheers.

{Ed001's Note - welcome FZZ. By the way, I have been meaning to ask this for ages, what does FZZ stand for?}

As funny as it sounds it should have been fez but misspelt when signing up and it stuck. I don’t mind it now 😂.

{Ed001's Note - oh ok. So why Fez then?}

It’s my nickname from my surname.

{Ed001's Note - oh ok, not as interesting as I was hoping for! I was thinking something like you were a Tommy Cooper impersonator or had Moroccan parents. Oh well.}

Thanks ed. It's amazing how pogba gets all the stick when players like Lingard martial and rashford amongst others all seem to get let off! If you don't mind answering ed what do you think has changed for the team since ole got the job permanently why such a drop in form?

{Ed001's Note - imo I think it is simply down to Ole being too weak and listening to others, rather than being decisive enough to stand by his own beliefs. It was a problem at Cardiff, he does not seem to have learnt anything from his experience there.}

So by that do you mean Mike Phelan possibly having to much say over playing style? Do you think the players are lazy or just genuinely unfit?

{Ed001's Note - it is not just Phelan having too much say, but yes, he is a major part of the problem. Which is why it is so odd he has been confirmed as assistant.

I don't know that being lazy and unfit are two different things personally. When Nedved played he would go home from training to his gym and work on his fitness as he felt he was not pushed hard enough by the club. If players are not fit they are perfectly capable of going to train on their own. Remember the problems at Bayern under Ancelotti? That was caused by the players feeling the training was not tough enough so they were gathering together in a local park afterwards to train themselves. Lazy players struggle for fitness because they just do what they have to.}

I posted same on Twitter to someone's reply. Even at last year's of SAF era, Phelan was guiding training and has major say in tactics. Since then I have only seen United playing defensive and some team who seat deep, rather running and pressing. Same has started again. Usual names are making team sheet no matter how they perform. We should have stayed way clear of him. If someone wanted SAF era back, Carlos Quireoz was the man. And seriously. till the time Phelan and Carrick are first team coaches, I don't see a team working hard. Carrick himself was not some athletic type. May be a pass master, but was never a hard player which is must these days now. Players has to work there socks off.
God help us. to many problems we are having to deal with. And Ed002 said, everyone is taking Ole as soft and weak personality wise.
Problems
1) Ed
2) Manager?
3) Phelan
4) Carrick
5) transfers in
6) transfers out
7) technical director
8) youth set up
9) scouting

To much mess.
