one step at a time

God mandag folkens, selv om jeg var stuptrøtt i dag tidlig så er jeg klar for mandag og ny uke! Dere sleit vel like mye som meg i går når det kom til å få se kampen så vår løsning hjemme ble å skru av mobilene våre og dra på kino. Vi så Joker og den skuffet ikke, Joaquin Phoenix er en av mine favorittskuespillere og en funfact er at han er også en av grunnene jeg er veganer. Han er også det og er en folka bak dokumentaren Earthlings og etter jeg så den så var det ingen vei tilbake for meg så takk for det Joaquin 💪🏽 Uansett, filmen var veldig bra og anbefales!

Da vi kom hjem kunne vi se reprisen, ganske håpløst å måtte skru av mobil og sitte sent oppe for å se en kamp som allerede har gått, men sånn ble det nå denne gangen.

Jeg skriver alltid mine meninger om kamper på forhånd på Instagram og Snapchat og jeg skrev på dagen i går at det er ikke et spørsmål om vi må vinne denne kampen, det er kun seier som er bra nok. Jeg er drittlei av dårlig spill og dårlig attityde, United må spille hver kamp i serien som om det skulle ha vært en finale. Ja, det er vel lov å drømme…?

Kanskje fordelen av å forvente lite er nettopp det jeg fikk oppleve i går, totalt sjokk og fryd over Gud vet hvor mange avslutninger på mål? Og det var underholdene?! Ja dette var moro og mer måtte det bli!!

Kampen var langt fra perfekt, det er fortsatt feil her og der, spillere som ikke hører hjemme i United, de må bli mer kliniske på mål og straffe skal alltid være = MÅL. Men dette, dette var stor PROGRESS!

Jeg skal ikke gå alt for dypt inn i eldre kamper, men jeg sa det etter Liverpool, at jeg håpte dette var et snupunkt for United. Endelig så spillerne skarpe ut og det var en plan, begge deler hadde manglet lenge i spillet. Og selv om spillet mot Partizan Beograd ikke var på United nivå (som vi vil ha det) så var det en veldig viktig borteseier. Den første siden natten i Paris! På tide med andre ord..

Vi kan se på andre lag som slår dårlige cuplag ned i støvla og forvente at vi også skal det, men er jeg den eneste som husker at det ikke er hverdags? Selvfølgelig har det hendt, men det er langt fra vanlig. Alle topplag har også røket ut mot små lag, det er slik cuper er og jeg er så lei fans som ikke skjønner dette og forventer 5-0 seiere hele tiden, spesielt med den stallen vi har nå. I slike kamper må enkelte hviles og spillere som ikke slipper til ellers får spilletid her, det sier seg selv at det er langt fra ‘en gåtur i parken’ 😂  men det vi skal ta med oss er unggutta, fy søren som de har imponert og hvor herlig er ikke det?? Disse kommer opp og frem mye pga skadesituasjonen så alt er ikke bare negativt. Kampen i Beograd var langt fra bra, men de klarte det de kom dit for. En borteseier og Williams imponerte stort! Debut og en så stor ro, fantastisk å se på!

En annen som har vokst er McTominay og jeg vil si han har vært den beste så langt denne sesongen, og at dette er en gutt fra vårt eget akademi er så deilig. Han viser at knallhard jobbing og tøff mentalitet lønner seg- som det også skal! Og da kommer vi over til sesongens store skuffelse.. mr JLingz burde endre varemerket til JLingZZZZ for det der er triste saker altså. Han er ikke en ung og talentfull gutt fra akademiet som trenger mer tid, han kommer aldri til å bli bedre enn dette og hadde mye heller passet et lag som feks Watford der han faktisk kunne bidratt, i United gjør han ikke det og jeg håper vi selger han nå i januar mens det er mulighet å få noe for han.

To borteseiere på rad, perfekt å møte Chelsea på onsdag og Bournemouth tidlig lørdag- dette blir en knall uke og jeg har troa 😁 og ja- jeg er optimist frem til det motsatte er bevist 😆

 

Happy Monday people! A part from I woke up super tired today, I’m ready for a new week! Because of strict (and ridiculous) rules, the game wasn’t shown anywhere in Norway yesterday and since watching just headlines or a stream isn’t an option for me, me and my boyfriend turned off our phones and went to the cinema and watch Joker. Amazing movie, Joaquin Phoenix is one of my favorite actors and also a big big reason I went vegan! He is also vegan and are one of the people behind the documentary Earthlings, which I watched and never looked back! Nothing to do with the movie of course, but a fun fact. The movie is a must watch 😁

Norway only showed the game after it was finished so we went home for dinner and the game later (I go early to bed that’s why I was so tired today because it was later than usual 😂)

I always post my match predictions on Instagram and Snapchat before games and yesterday I said what I’ve been saying for so long; nothing but a win is good enough. No question about it. I also said United have to play every game in the league now like it’s a final. No more of bad attitude and poor performances! Yeah, a girl can dream right?

Well, what a game?!?! It was entertaining, I was shocked 😂

The game wasn’t perfect, still flaws here and there, we should have been more clinical with the finishing and of course penalty = goal. We should have won at least 5-0. But we won 3-1 in a very entertaining game. PROGRESS PEOPLE!

I don’t like to write too much about previous games after there’s been a new one, it’s the past and the players are over it and are focusing on the new ones coming and so should we. But I said the Liverpool game could be a turning point. The players were sharp, they had a plan, both parts had been missing lately so we could only wish for this to continue.

Partizan Beograd was the first away win since the night in Paris. About time! The game wasn’t good at all, but let me remind you that United rarely has smashed opponents in games like this. That, and the state of our club..? We just can’t expect a big victory away when some of the players must be rested and the rest of the squad are getting minutes. I’m not going to analyze the game, it was bad l, but we got what we went there for. A win. Williams was definitely MOTM and I loved seeing him so comfortable, I love his style and I’m sure Solskjær will use him more often. Which means Luke Shaw really need to step up big time.

The youth have impressed me so much this season, important to remember, everything that’s happened this season isn’t bad. People are impatient and I get it, but it will turn. And this could be a start of it. I loved the link between Rash and Martial yesterday, just imagine those two with a proper midfield with creative world class players.

We talked about it yesterday as this was the 10th game in the league. Who has been the best player? Worst? For me it’s definitely McTominay who’s getting best player so far and nothing better than it being an academy player!! He’s so tough and I love his mentality,

hard work pays off- as it should! And speaking of hard work, the ‘medal’ for worst player goes to Lingard. I’m sorry but your time is up and time to go.. He won’t get any better and don’t contribute so when he comes on it’s like…great, one less player on the pitch and one new wrinkle in my face.

United won a comfortable win away in the league and it’s perfect for this week! Chelsea Wednesday and Bournemouth early Saturday, both hard games so this confident is so important.

Trough thick and thin

I had a bad feeling about Newcastle away, and unfortunately I was right. With this thin squad and several important players out, and United being on a really bad track, I knew it was going to be hard.

This situation is making me feel sick. Sick and almost heartbroken because I feel it won’t end good. I wasn’t surprised at all when Longstaff scored and because I love this sport I couldn’t help feeling happy for him. He played with passion and his feelings for his club said it all when he scored. That’s what football is all about and I miss it.

You know what I feel about Solskjær and I would have said the same about anyone else in his shoes right now. I’m backing him but he needs to be more ruthless and for ffs stick to a game plan. I’m really struggling to see what the players are practicing on training? It looks like they never played together and it’s awful to watch. Some players should have played their last minutes for Manchester United on Sunday and no matter how much I love Matas personality, he doesn’t deserve playing from start. You simply don’t run AWAY from the ball, simple as that. The players that should have stepped up has failed massively and I’ll blame they more than Solskjær.

Without knowing what’s going on in the dressing room, everything people are saying are simply speculations, but what Keane said back in April has some truth in it; ‘ leopards doesn’t change their spots, these are the same players that threw Mourinho under the bus and they’ll do exactly the same to Ollie.’

There has to be some truth in it because I refuse to believe that Solskjær is happy with this. And for what he’s saying to the press, come on. Have you ever had a job where you don’t agree on how to do things/say things but because it’s your boss you have to stick with it?! What do you guys really think would happen if he said it as it was? Of course Ole wanted midfielders and at least one striker, but he can’t go out saying the team he got now is poor. He has to stay positive, we all know what happened to our managers who went to the media admitting they don’t have a clue or start to blame the board/players. This is Solskjærs dream job and he will do what’s in his power to make United great again. I can even understand he using Mata, Matic, Young etc because if he hadn’t he would have get massive abuse for not using players with experience. When results are missing, everything you do is wrong.

Relegation? Would have been fun that, good old games against Leeds again, the fans that’s here just for glory would be gone and maybe also the Glazers as well? 😂

We got ONE world class player in this team and that’s David De Gea. Man I felt for him during his post match interview. But it was honest and truthful. He can’t throw the players under the bus but he’s clearly not happy with their performances.

And players like De Gea is part of the reason I will back this team. First of all I will always support Manchester United because as a fan that’s just what you do no matter results, but even though I agree there’s many players that needs to go, the squad isn’t full rotten. There’s a lot of potential, our new signings and the youth are very exciting and they need us! We can’t only be there for the team when they win and when it’s bad they use the Glazer excuse to not support the team anymore. That’s just so wrong in my eyes, I want the Glazers out as well but I will always back the team. It’s trough thick and thin remember..

Embarrassing and boring

Going home with 1 point after playing away in Europe isn’t that bad. But United yesterday was a disaster. I couldn’t figure out what their plan was, it was just.. awful!

We’re getting used to bad results now, and as long as there’s some kind of progress (like we we’re playing youngsters etc) I can deal with it, but I CAN NOT DEAL WITH BAD PERFORMANCE. So many players should feel ashamed over their performance. I have played football myself so I know so very well it’s hard but it’s not hard to try your best. Simple as that. Only positive thing was Williams, I really like him and he was the man of the match in my eyes. Says it all really..

It was a really bad pitch, we have so many players out with injuries and yesterday we combined players that’s probably not meant for the future-not good enough (except 4)  with youngsters that need time to progress so we can’t expect it to be a 5-0 game and a show off but we can and must expect more than this!!

Fans are so impatient and Solskjær needs to go all out next game. United have to score goals and win comfortable. How we’re going to do that away without Pogba, Wan-Bissaka and Martial is beyond me but it’s much needed.
