I think I'll wait until we play at the Riverside to say that.... and won at THE Utd bogey ground ....

I'm sure someone will pop up and say judge him on Liverpool and the PSG second leg...Is everyone happy with the reaction to a loss now?
Ill confess I was especially after those injuries... I'm starting to get goosebumps if we can win or even draw vs Liverpool...How many of us will confess that we were dreading tonight? I dared to doubt Ole all because of one match. That was a manager’s win tonight. A comfortable 2-0 win away at a full strength Chelsea. feck me.
I am sorry. You have humbled me. Beat Liverpool and the job is yours.
You're comparing the most creative player in our team to an out and out goalscorer in another team. Without Kane, they've still got Son. I think without Eriksen they'd also struggle like if we were without Pogba.Pochettino is getting results from a threadbare squad without Harry Kane. I shudder to imagine what we would be like without Pogba.
This. And i bet you Jose was sat there for a few weeks, at ease, being of the opinion "you wait...you'll soon see; those players, my big game tactical nouse....it'll all come out in the wash".No one should be judged on any one game. All I know is that he’s making Mourinho look more of a mug with every week that passes.
Just wanted to say I was on board since the beginning.It's only been one game.
Most disappointing thing about PSG is that we didn’t turn up. We saw Pogba being targetted and didn’t adapt. Here Chelsea were on him, but he appears to have learnt quick and appeared wide left to set up the first goal and then surged ahead of his marker for the second.Question- would you be disappointed if we lost to Liverpool or is it like a PSG situation in that they are that level above us at the moment?
If you think Pochettino is doing any worse, please justify your opinion. You don't have to put someone else down to praise Ole and the job he is doing.
Ole, in the end might be more of a good fit for United than Poch but Poch is doing one of the best managerial jobs with what's at his disposal.
Exactly. Allow the appointment to be it's own end of season ultra positive dynamic. No need to do it much earlier.We should STILL wait until the end of the season before reviewing our managerial options and yes OGS should be a serious contender.
However, to give him the job now could change the dynamics in so many untold ways so why fix something that ain't broke. He wasn't promised the job. He knows exactly what terms the role is and he happens to be excelling in it.
Not sure we are. Don't think we're miles off it like some think but we're not on their level.Most disappointing thing about PSG is that we didn’t turn up. We saw Pogba being targetted and didn’t adapt. Here Chelsea were on him, but he appears to have learnt quick and appeared wide left to set up the first goal and then surged ahead of his marker for the second.
We are on the level of PSG and Liverpool right now. We’re at home. We should be planning to beat them. Work hard, play smartly, and we will.
True. Awful stuff by Ole for not proving he can win with Pogba injured.Pochettino is getting results from a threadbare squad without Harry Kane. I shudder to imagine what we would be like without Pogba.
Agree 100%.@Wednesday at Stoke mate nobody wants to hear about another club's coach tonight.
We have a United treble winning legend in the dugout doing the business. He's now beaten Spurs, Arsenal and Chelsea away. His only loss has been against a team that has depth like the sea. Give it a rest talking about other people. Let's just enjoy this.
Hard to say he's made any yet.The best part about his time as manager here is that he appears to be learning from every mistake he makes.
Its just Chelsea.Is everyone happy with the reaction to a loss now?
@Wednesday at StokeAgree 100%.
Honestly bore off with the Poch shite for one night. What sort of weirdo wants to talk about another teams manager after a win like that.
I get it, I've only been mentioned twice before you got the bright idea.
We won at the Bridge in 2012. No big deal.Its just Chelsea.
Isn't that how it works normally? Manager comes up with tactics and players perform it to the best of their abilities, Surely one without the other wouldn't work.Got his tactics spot on today, but his tactics were backed by some solid performances.
Playing Mata through the middle (finally!) was effective, but this meant that the Full backs, Pogba and Herrera had to work double shifts to cover their flank. Brilliant from both Herrera and Pogba who kept shuttling between the wings and their natural position. Shaw probably had his best defensive performance ever in a Utd shirt.
The players took to the tactics well and did a great job.
The one top quality side we've played has wiped the floor with us.At this point if he doesnt get the job on a permanent basis, serious questions need to be asked about the people running the club and what their expectations actually are. We are in the form of our lives, and yes we may have lost to PSG but at this point in time I think whoever we had as manager would have struggled against them. I feel like we cant keep changing the goalposts every time he gets a good result, or put an asterix next to the result (Spurs werent at full strength so it doesnt count, Arsenal are being Arsenal, Chelsea are in meltdown etc) to try and disqualify his achievements.
We have tried the 'up and coming manager who works on a shoestring budget and needs a big job to prove himself'
We have tried the experienced manager who has reached a World Cup final with a poor side whose tactical knowledge got them that far
We have tried the short term option who always achieves wherever he goes and guarantees success.
None of them worked.
Now we have a United Legend, who loves the club, the players love him, the fans love him, and he is getting results that 3 months ago we would never have even dreamed of achieving. And instead of saying 'thats our guy', we are still dithering, just in case the latest shiny new manager is available.
Theres a saying that I heard about United years ago, and its one of the reasons I love the club. 'We dont buy superstars, we make them'.
Really? That's very impressive.I was looking back through each season and last we had 7 consecutive away wins in all competitions was back in April 2002. 5 in league, 2 in CL that time.

Agree. We completely did a number on them tonight. Hopefully this shows that Carrick and McKenna are having a big influence too.That was Ole's best game in charge. Adapted to two important injuries and got his formation spot on.
His in game management was also very well executed.
