Sky made a mistake. He said it about away games.I'd say this is a bit outdated. We never really sat back v big sides at home and we did start regularly beating them in 2018.
Its a decent point to make but Ole shouldn't be shy of changing it up away v big sides. Klopp, Poch and Chelsea have poor away records in the league v top sides while Pep has always struggled away in CL games for a reason
Offering yourself up for the slaughter isn't the Sir Alex way if that is how Ole views himself.
Word man word.That’s a bizarre fecking post.
Poch gets credit for Spurs second half performance (when they didn’t score) but you won’t give Ole any credit for the first half performance (when we did score) that forced Pocchetino to change his opening formation/tactics.
Have a word with yourself.
For me, this is one of the biggest plusses about Ole being our manager. His exploits as a player, at our club, means the whole squad will buy into what he has to say. They know not everyone scores 126 goals for Man Utd and wins six titles, including the Treble.Maybe I don’t want to say that. But we all know that he was great when he was a player. So we listen when he tells us something--Anthony Martial on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

This is certainly good news. I thought initially when Ole joined that the likes of Pogba and Martial night not respect him enough to stay on even if he got top 4 and the permanent job. But it seems that he can command respect among players.Tweet

First De Gea and now Martial publicly back him for the job. Pogba has also been singing his praises ever since he took over.
Ole would surely deserve the job off the strength of helping us keep our best players in my opinion
Ince has always been a bit of a bellend, good player but a bit thick in my humble opinion.There's a lot of jealousy out there from ex-pros.
Ince failed as a manager at every opportunity and obviously blames everybody else for this.
I second this my man.Write this down.
Man United don't sign legends. Man United make legends. Players and manager included.
It's actually carefully constructed by Sky. Carra often says positives about Man Utd and Nev about Liverpool. Gets way more views than if they were doing it the other way around.Carragher is one great pundit. Says it like it is, a lot better than Neville.
What to say about Ince, he's one of those managers who doesn't hack it but thinks big if himself and that he's on the verge of becoming a Barcelona or Madrid manager. He should watch his food too if seems.
And at the knock out stage they even beat Sevilla at home (but lost on aggregate). Sevilla won the EL that year. Molde actually played well in Europa this season as well, and looked like the better team in the play-offs against Zenit, although they at the end lost 3-4 on aggregate. Based on budget, all these teams should easily beat Molde any day of the week.Ole is a highly underrated manager. Just look what he achieved with Molde. They beat Celtic, Ajax and Fenerbache in Europa League where they won their group. Molde as a city only have 28 000 inhabitants.. quite impressive
It's great seeing all these positives coming out of the club lately. DDG Pogba and Martial all speaking highly of Ole and life in general at the club. Such a turnaround from how it was just a month or so ago.
There’s a lot of weight in this. Well said.Write this down.

Taken a few scalps in the CL? Are you seriously expecting Solskjaer to beat PSG? Did you forget the state we were in pre-Solskjaer?Pochettino still has the better resume, but Ole outmanaged him mano and mano. The burden or the argument for me is now on why we shouldn't keep Ole and not why we should.
But it's still early days. If we hit a bad run of form this conversation will take a different turn. But if we're in the think of the top four hunt in March, gone deep in the FA Cup and taken a few scalps in the CL it would be pretty hard to argue against a long-term appointment for Ole.
Spurs can keep Pochettino and their perennial top four status while we go back to being a leading contender for the PL trophy.
Solskjær were backed by his players to the very end even at Cardiff. For all possible worries, him losing the dressing room is not one of them.Ole seem to have the backing of the players, which is a very very positive thing.
Actually, I think it´s down to one thing only: The results. If Solskjær in end of May has the same standing among the fans and the players as he has now (seemingly), I think the board has no choice but to give him the job. Suddenly, United look like the most harmonic club in the world; I think there is no chance that the board would risk an uproar if everybody is happy. Imagine the scenario where you get in a new manager and the spiral starts going downwards. I would be scared as hell even to take the job.For me, the whole manager scenario is very simple... If pochettinho becomes available then we take him. If ole continues to do a good job this year, then outside of Poch then it's gotta be something fecking special to take that place. The talk of Gareth Southgate is frightening and hilarious, although who knows with our board.. . Do you really think the fans would accept him like ole? That would be the most depressing appointment that I could actually see happening.
Zidane ...only if ole flops.
Simeone .. Only if ole flops
Rose .. Only if old flops.
Basically, ole can do as well as you like and I'd probably take poch. But if he isn't gonna be available and ole keeps performing like he is, then I wouldnt want to swap him for anyone else that's available.
This should be OGS job if Poch doesn't want it.
Somewhat debatable. Ole did 'outmanage' him in the plans for the first half, but Poch then changed things up a bit and took complete control in the second half. At that stage Ole didn't really change anything (tactically or substitutions) that allowed us to regain any control.Pochettino still has the better resume, but Ole outmanaged him mano and mano.
“Maybe I don’t want to say that. But we all know that he was great when he was a player. So we listen when he tells us something.”
I think the lack of action in second half is down to his offensive thinking. He was maybe hoping that Tottenham would run out of steam, and then start regaining from keeping the same formation offensively. Solskjær is a risk taker. The best illustration of that is when he substituted 3 players at half time at Molde. Unfortunately, one had to jump off injured, so they played with 10 men most of the second half. I think he never did that again, but he is talking about taking risks, and he is living up to his philosophy also as a manager. I think you could be up for a surprise or two when it comes to team selections and formations.Somewhat debatable. Ole did 'outmanage' him in the plans for the first half, but Poch then changed things up a bit and took complete control in the second half. At that stage Ole didn't really change anything (tactically or substitutions) that allowed us to regain any control.
That's what I'm going to be watching for the rest of the season. Ole impressed with his pre-game plans and tactics against Spurs, but I want to see whether he's capable of really changing things up mid-game if they aren't working.

Apparently it isn't just a LVG thing.I'd rather we coached our players to develop the skills to naturally know when pass and move is on and decide to play it rather than be robots. I'm pretty sure we weren't so routined under Sir Alex and we did okay.
Where have all you people picked up 'patterns of play' from anyway? We had it under LvG where some read his book then bored us all parroting his terminology, is this still an LvG thing?
Spurs didn't outplay us the whole of the second half. They switched formation at half time and had two changes in quick succession immediately after the break. But Ole also switched our setup to 4231 to match them, and we still looked the more dangerous side up until about the 60 minute mark. After that, Spurs took total control of the game and started having chance after chance.Somewhat debatable.

Paul Ince could do that in his sleep.
No it's not debatable at all. How many years have Poch built his team? Bingo.Somewhat debatable.

It's hard to argue against the views from the managerial and tactical genius that is Paul Ince.

Its amazing how fecking clueless some of these guys are."The shackles are off, but that doesn't mean that Ole is the right man for the job. I could have gone in and done the same thing, so could Steve Bruce.
"Anyone could have gone in and done what he has done, it wasn't a hard thing to do to give those players freedom and improve the mood."
