Ah right, yeah should have checked the link :P

That is a big surprise! As far as I'm aware only one of their players has been sold since the end of last season

Bump.

They're still bottom. 9 games, 6pts. Anyone know what happened to them yet? Champs to chumps just like that. Already 14pts off the top.

Unseeded CL teams will be licking their lips.

Are Molde definitely going to be seeded?

In CLQ2, yes.

Certainly gives the unseeded teams that will be in the Second Qualifying Round hope

Its still a mystery to us norwegians how Molde have managed to go from winning twice in a row to being last, when they have pretty much the same squad and coach as last year.
If they don't manage to fix it soon, it will also look really bad when it comes to advancing from CL q2.

However they will get a summer break in June and then 4 rounds to improve before the CLq so alot might have changed by then.

``Widely travelled, as both a player and coach, he rarely stayed at a club longer than two seasons, and was quoted as saying the third season is fatal.``
A la Guttmann Bela, Solksjaer probably never heard of him.

And things just got so much worse.
Molde - Haugesund 1-5 !!! :O

Interesting fact, last time an away team scored 5 goals in the norwegian league, was 369 days ago when Stabæk lost 0-5 to Molde.
And now Molde is the one stuck at the bottom of the league.
Atm 4 points behind the safe 13th place.

Can't be too many occasions where a defending champion in any league has fared this badly in a title defence. Pains me to see it as Solskjaer gave me my greatest moment as a United fan

How can the same team and coach be getting dismantled like this? You could understand it if the team had been picked apart over the transfer window.

I wonder what odds you could have got on this situation. "Hello, Mr. Bookie. What odds will you give me that Molde will be bottom of the table after 10 league games?"

"Assemble your dream team in the Premier League manager?

Molde - FK Haugesund 1-5

We followed the match minute by minute.

Aker Stadion / Bergen (TV 2 Sport): The downturn continues for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. After five points in the previous three matches, Molde got a brutal return to everyday life against Haugesund.

Five times lay the ball in the net Moldes young goalkeeper Oliver Nyland - which has been a heavy start the transition from cupmesterne Hødd.

Solskjaer warns players
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Manager courses now a cautionary finger at a number of the team's players.

- It is the worst since 0-5 against Haugesund for a couple of years ago. This is far below our standard. We can not be disappointed here, says Solskjaer to TV 2 Sport - and notes that it has margins that have distinguished between losses and points earlier in the season.

- But today we are so far away that it is possible to be. I think probably a lot of guys have to realize the gravity here, says Solskjaer.


Now the Rosenborg at Lerkendal on Monday.

- Is it like that against Rosenborg, it becomes large digit. That we do not accept, says Solskjaer to CMORE.

- It is great that there are only three days. I said it before Aalesund (4-1) that "now we have the knife at his throat" and given response to it. Now we'll see if we get a response on Monday, he added.



- Can be embarrassing
In FotballXtra studio takes Daniel Nannskog a hard confrontation with Molde's performance.

- Who would have thought before the season that Molde were to go to 17 May train obvious table jumbo? It makes me really upset now is that this team will be out in the Champions League qualifiers. For this is what we should throw out the Champions League, so it can be really embarrassing. I saw them against Sandnes Ulf in 0-0 battle and it was miserable. That is Molde to be out in the Champions League qualifiers can be embarrassing, says Nannskog.

- To me that seems like Molde superstitions of their own players, but developing them is not as easy as they had thought. They should have brought experienced players in the winter. Maybe Alexander Søderlund, one Christian Gytkjær or Nicki Bille Nielsen says TV 2 Sport Premier League expert.

- You forget Medal
Studio Colleague Ole Martin Annual almost shocked it cannoned against Molde Haugesund.

- I had Molde gold favorites along with many others before season start. But now they have missed so many points that the league title they may forget. Medal can just forget. Even worse is the performance. There is just no light in the tunnel for Molde, he said.

Daniel Nannskog agree.

- Molde player with high shoulders and they have no interaction. The whole team to Solskjaer looks like a bad junior, said the Swede.

The row
Even before the minutes played, 22 year old Oliver Nyland conceded the game first. Kristoffer Paulsen Vatshaug ensured swift balance in the accounts with a header after four minutes, but just before the break Haugesund took back the lead with a well placed shot from Christian Gytkjær - Dane others.

Solskjaer break, had hardly the desired effect, for early in the second half put the guests first lead twice by Alexander Søderlund and MIchael Haukås.

Seven minutes from time secured Gytkjær his hat trick on a penalty - and made total humiliation for the reigning champions.

Gytkjær: - Gun Game
Hat trick hero will primarily talk about his own team for having helped to crush Molde.

- We knew we had a chance here and was fully focused on taking the three points. I think that we deliver a cannon fight and would rather talk about ourselves than mold problem. There is no doubt that we have a great team again, says Danish Gytkjær to TV 2 Sport.

Molde had never lost at home to Haugesund in the Tippeligaen before. In six meetings were the hosts with the same number of wins and 13-4 goal difference. That was before Thursday's 16 May blunder.

- At Molde we have been unlucky in the past and not been entirely deserved. Today we get a little too. But we play a good football game and get the three points. It was a great achievement that we obviously are very happy, says FKH coach Jostein Grindhaug to CMORE.

And the statistics do not lie: Now smell the relegation of Molde. But Solskjaer reassure those who fear that he leaves a Molde team in crisis.

- I will not run here with his tail between his legs. You can be assured, says Solskjaer to TV 2 Sport."

Giving you a better translation from norwegian My personal comments in (this):

Molde - FK Haugesund 1-5

We followed the match minute by minute. (just a link)

Five times lay the ball in the net behind Moldes young goalkeeper Oliver Nyland - who has had a tough start since his transfer from cupwinners Hødd.

Solskjaer warns players
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Manager courses now a cautionary finger at a number of the team's players.

- It is the worst (result) since 0-5 against Haugesund from a couple of years ago. This is far below our standard. We shouldn't be known for this (best translation i can come up with), says Solskjaer to TV 2 Sport - and notes that there have been margins that have distinguished between losses and points earlier in the season.

- But today we are as far away as it is possible to be. I think a lot of the guys have to realize the gravity here, says Solskjaer.

Now awaits Rosenborg at Lerkendal on Monday.

- If its like this against Rosenborg, there will be large digits (many goals). Thats unacceptable, says Solskjaer to CMORE.

- It's perfect that its only three days away. I said it before the Aalesund game(4-1) that "now we have the knife at our throat" and got response to it. Now we'll see if we can get a response on Monday, he added.

I saw them against Sandnes Ulf in the 0-0 game, and it was terrible. That it is Molde whos in the Champions League qualifiers could be embarrassing, says Nannskog.

- To me it seems like Molde is overconfident of their own players, but continuing developing them is not as easy as they had thought. They should have brought in some experienced players this winter. Maybe an Alexander Søderlund, a Christian Gytkjær or a Nicki Bille Nielsen says TV 2 Sport Premier League expert.

Molde managed to get a 0-0 draw at Rosenborg. Something to build on?

Not really as Molde got a red card after only 20 minutes.
And then proceded to play extreme defense the entire game, which ended with 3-0 in chances for Rosenborg.

So to sum up this game for Molde: Great result normally. However no progress with how they play, lost another point to the safe 13th place and are now 5 behind, and they lost two players to suspension for the next game. (red card and 3 yellow cards).

Molde got Hønefoss at home on saturday which is the last game before summer vacation.

This is the first time as a manager Solskjaer has known struggling, so it's probably the first major test of his managerial career
