Ole takes Maguire off, Jones makes a mistake, Ole is criticised of being a "lightweight" and making a poor decision.

People need to stop assuming Ole is stupid, and start giving him the benefit of the doubt for some of the context. Maybe Maguire said he was fine at half time. Maybe a physio mis-diagnosed?

I never blamed Ole for the mistakes Jones (or anybody else for that matter) made the other night. Anyway, in other news looks like Ashley Young is leaving for Inter. I've been quick to bag him on here and more public forums but he's been a good pro for United for the best part of a decade. Not my favourite player to ever wear the shirt, and has been a bit of a scapegoat of the post-Fergie era at times but can't fault his professionalism and hunger. Hopefully he does well at Inter for a couple of years.

Totally agree. My worry is that from the sounds of it, he is the one who demands high standards off the pitch and even though he doesnt really maintain the high standards that I am sure he expects on the pitch, we already lack leaders so others need to step up.
