Liverpool vs Man Utd: Ole’s lost the plot with ‘perfect’ chat
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has lost the plot with his ‘perfect’ chat ahead of their clash with Liverpool in two weeks time.
Solskjaer was talking after the Red Devils were beaten 1-0 by Newcastle United in a result that would have surprised the Toon Army just as much as it surprised the rest of the football.
The Echo reported that the manager said having Liverpool up next was ‘perfect’, after he just presided over a game in which his side failed to score against an outfit that had conceded five against Leicester the week before.
And it begs the question, is Ole all right?

Being boss at Old Trafford can’t be easy and we’ve seen far more experienced manager wilt at the helm. Jose Mourinho and Louis van Gaal both would have fancied their chances turning things around and failed. David Moyes was cast aside. And now it’s Solskjaer’s turn.
Liverpool have won all eight Premier League games this season and now sit on 17 in a row if you count last season’s efforts as well, and now Solskjaer is excited to take them on with his side in such dire form?
You can’t help thinking he’s lost the plot here.
It was different last season when Man Utd were in the middle of the outrageous Ole bounce that extracted something above and beyond what we’ve seen from this team since or before, but that was never going to last that long and we’re living in the proof of that.

The Red Devils are sat in 12th, Liverpool are first and loving life. Jurgen Klopp has got the side winning ugly, and that’s wonderful to see. We’d all take an imperfect win at Old Trafford over a pretty lose, but with them in their current form you can’t discount Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane running wild to deliver a historic victory.
