Immediately after the devastating 0: 5 defeat against the FC Liverpool, the highest against the arch rivals since October 1895, a more consured Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was looking for words on Sky Sports . It is his dark day as a coach of Manchester United. We were not good enough - individually and as a team. One can not give such opportunities like Liverpool, but unfortunately we did it, the Norwegian seemed helpless. We know that we have arrived at the bottom, we know that nothing can feel worse than that.
Solskjeer does not think of resignation. We came too far as a group to give up now. We are too close to give up. Too close to it? The last appearances of the Red Devils, especially the disclosure of Sunday, do not leave the conclusion that the 20-time English champion is only nearly close to his own self-image. Almost close to it, seriously to play the title.
Once again, Solskjaers team gave a weak as a puzzling image in many ways. A recognizable tactical order? A visible game idea? A functioning team? Funding. Only in the stark contrast to the opponent.
TV expert Neville: This team is unable to press
United s half-hearted attempt of a Pressing outlined Liverpool again and again with ease. This manunited team is unable to press , watch TV expert Gary Neville. Rashford, Greenwood, Ronaldo - With these three you will never recall the ball. Since you have to play on counterattack. Solskjaer has played on counter on counter for three years. I have no idea why he has tried to press today. For a break, United with four goals was behind - that had not yet existed in the Premier League.
It hurts. The boys are destroyed on the ground, said Harry Maguire opposite the BBC. Each player should look at himself, because to lose the game in this way, is not bug good enough. The fans apologized to the United Captain: They earned more.
I have never felt worse, that s my absolute low point.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
What s going on at United after this mix? I did not hear anything else, Solskjaer said at the press conference later on whether he continues to have the backing of the club: I still think of the work of tomorrow. Of course, all are on the ground. I have never been worse Feeling, this is my absolute low point. I accept the responsibility. I wear it today and in the future.
Whether and how long Solskjaer is allowed to continue, the coming days will show. Often, the United coach saved himself from home-dependent situations. That it succeeds this time, after the unimaginable humiliation in the domestic stadium, the biggest rivals appear unlikely, actually almost unimaginable.
