Ole's gamble doesn't look like it will pay off.

His intentions to re-build the squad however well intended has left him looking very naive to put it politely.

To let Lukaku, Sanchez, Herrera and Fellaini all leave the Club without adequately replacing any of them will probably seal his fate.

The irony of our current situation is I don't think many fans were sad to see them leave. Whilst all were decent players we hoped for better. Many of us wrongly assumed the Club would replace them. When we examine our current injury crisis it is also safe to assume most of those players would still make and improve the current starting line up and that's a sad indictment of our current situation.

A crystal ball was not required to foresee our squad was light and lacking in quality. A few injuries to key players and a crisis was inevitable.

It is now obvious Ole had placed too much faith in the likes of Lingard and Pereria. Ole must feel very disappointed with Lingard in particular. He was given a real chance to establish himself as our genuine No10 but has found wanting. Pereria has also been thrust to the fore but not re-payed any of his managers faith. The form of De Gea and Lindelof has been disappointing and Ole must only despair at his decision to have put so much faith and trust in both the ability and integrity of Paul Pogba.

Had De Gea's form not suffered so severely, if Lindelof had managed to form a solid defensive partnership with Maguire, had Pogba not been injured and had Lingard offered more, then perhaps, with a bit of luck Ole might have just been able to navigate himself through a difficult first season and given himself the chance to spend more of the Clubs money in the summer.

As it stands Ole finds himself with a squad crippled by injury and without his best players. The Club finds itself at yet another crossroads, seemingly paralysed by indecision and unable to decide whether to back a lame duck. Talk is cheap but action speaks louder than words and if the squad is not significantly strengthened within the coming days perhaps that tells its own story.

A new manager beckons in the summer. Play, pause, repeat should be our new motto.

Good post DLIB

You can also add Young to the list of the departed and not replaced players.

I have a theory on Pogba that goes like this. Once Jose was sacked the club announced Ole as interim manager whilst they searched for a new top manager, to bring in along with an DOF. The team spirit rose with performance levels as the club had a clear plan and were going to bring in a top manager.

However, once Ole was appointed the new top dog, did Pogba suddenly feel betrayed, as just after he comes out and says he wants a new challenge. Did other players feel betrayed, that the plan had shifted and the spirit and performances nose dive on the back of the news and we are where we are.

Just a theory:-)
