Ole Gunnar Solskjær | 2021/22 Discussion

[crossy1686]

His starting 11 and playing style tells me what he thinks along with every manager we witness.

 

[Skills]

The most infuriating thing up till now, is that Ole gives me an impression of a man who is all talk an no action. He often says the right thing, but when it comes to backing the same thing with action fluffs it.

Young, Jones, Lingard should have been demoted and out of the door this summer. Rashford, Pogba, Martial should get the hairdryer and put to place. What he did is the opposite.

He says what people want to hear.

 

[TheGame]

With Klopp, you could at least point to his time at Dortmund. We could obviously trust Solskjaer blindly and hope, but are you willing to take such risk?

Football success at other clubs is down to managers being given time to build their team. To sack a manager after half a season is stupid.

 

[bonothom]

He will be sacked in October when United are in lower table.

 

[Giggsyking]

Any player should think many times before taking the decision to move to united.

 

[simplyared]

Weird German guy led his team to EIGHTH when he first took over some Merseyside club.

You've got the wrong German.

post match interview

Ole: "The work starts now, everyone has the summer off but we have to come back with a different mentality and different attitude of being a Man United team. The ones who played did well but it was not good enough."

The ones who played did well, he must be fecking kidding. He’s scared of the dressing room, scared of pointing them out. So long for “the survival of the fittest”.

Ole: "It will take some time to close in on the top, we finished five or six points behind third, fourth, fifth and that has to be our aim. The top two teams have set a standard higher than before and we have to take up the next challenge.”

He must be sacked right now, talking about ending in top 5. Good luck attracting top players or prospects with that ambition. Again he can think that, but he shouldn’t say it.

He’s getting support because his legacy as a player, but damn this is worst than Moyes. This is the worst United team I’ve ever seen.

He can p1ss off with those stupid comments

 

[Kopral Jono]

On the fence.

At first I was against the idea of Ole being appointed permanently, then like the vast majority of United fans I warmed up to the idea that Indian summer and felt as if he's going to take us back to where we belong in a manner Fergie would approve. But now it seems that what I feared would happen most initially (i.e. him being completely out of his depth, taking us into relegation form) is coming true.

Mind you, the players are doing him no favours whatsoever because they've been a complete joke and disgrace to the club, but you can't help but question if he's the right man for us right now given his inexperience at managing at the highest level

 

[crossy1686]

Two months! It’s been two months of relegation form, are you having a laugh?

You keep using the term relegation form as if we were in serious danger of being relegated. There's no need for the dramatics, we've been poor and some of the players need to have a long hard look at themselves as to why they got outfought by teams who wanted it more than they did.

 

[Zoo]

He will be sacked in October when United are in lower table.

Nah Woodward will let it run until Christmas because he hasn’t got a clue.

 

[Ether]

Take me back to the days of Moyes promising to make it difficult for Newcastle at home.

 

[drunkmonkmeth]

He should have never gotten the job perm until end of the season.. we should be doing everything we can to get poch

 

[CaptainAvengers]

When you become "one of the lads" as a manager and seem too much of a yes man you are compromised and that should be a sacking offence for gross misconduct. Nevermind results and performances since he was given his flash new contract that is not worth the paper it is written on. democracy changes apparently.

 

[superdry]

We're in a world of shit, we've not got a single player who can produce an 7or 8 out of 10 on a regular basis and we've got a manager who in my opinion hasn't got the experience, or the talent to stop this downward spiral we're presently in.

 

[crossy1686]

You ok, sweetiepie?

I'm absolutely fine. Find it strange that people are wanting someone sacked based on 2 months. Wouldn't be a manager in world football still in a job...

 

[Grylte]

Ferguson made Aberdeen the Scottish champions against all odds, breaking the Rangers Celtic dominance, he won a European trophy with them.

Solskjaer, a lovely guy and a Man United legend, is not on the same planet as Ferguson.

Solskjær won the league in Norway, same, or even stronger league than the Scottish, for the first time in the Molde's history.
Never won a European trophy with them, but did really well in Europe. Not saying they're on the same level, but atleast give him some credit for what he's done as manager..... Opposed of what most Brits seem to think, Cardiff wasn't his only job before United.

 

[fallengt]

Time for a public poll.
So I can either laugh at myself or laugh at the other group next season.

Never seen so much doubters since Moyes

 

[bond19821982]

He will be sacked anyway in to midseason and we will continue the cycle again .

 

[Bojan11]

Football success at other clubs is down to managers being given time to build their team. To sack a manager after half a season is stupid.

To back him with £200m is stupid when he’s done nothing to suggest he deserves that sort of backing. We’d just reset again in 12 months. We’d have to clear out his players, LvG players and Jose players. Will be another mess.

 

[Kostov]

He says what people want to hear.

It's a good trait, but if you don't back it up with action, sooner of later you will get found out.

 

[Snafu17]

Oh knock it off with quotes you absolute muppets. The comments you want him to make are the ones Mourinho was criticized for. Everyone was all about his positivity and his reluctance to throw players under the bus when the results were good.

Post match quotes are pointless and nobody should be paying attention to them.

This was literally the easiest thing to predict in the history of everything. The minute results go to shit fans decide the managers rhetoric is somehow embarrassing or "not in sync with the club values" or some such nonsense. Managers are just talking out of their arse because making any sensible conclusions 5 minutes after the match is impossible and a dumb thing to do.

 

[Massive Spanner]

I don't get the people saying to back him because he needs a window and to have his own players.

He's still only going to get 3, maybe 4 of his own players and be working with mostly the same team as he has this year apart from that. Anyone expecting some miraculous turnaround on our current form is going to be disappointed.

Yea this.

He topped a group with Ajax, Fenerbahce and Celtic. He's not a mug ffs

But as Geoffrey Boycott said the other night "Norway is not the premier league"

 

[3KDré]

I just don’t think he’s a good coach. We need someone to coach these players how to position themselves, pass, move etc.

If he brought in a coach then maybe it’d work but I never thought he’d be the right option.

 

[mu4c_20le]

Because Mourinho's treatment of Pogba worked so well? You do realize that putting an arm around his shoulder is probably what inspired his performanes during our winning run?

 

[sugar_kane]

I’d have a bit more faith in him but for the line up he put out today.

He had a free game and could have picked anyone so to see the likes of Young in the side was disappointing and makes me question his judgement.

 

[Champagne Football]

Back him and let him fix the squad. We'll see where we are next summer. There is absolutely no quick fox for this.

'Tail's' the fox from 'Sonic & Tail's' was lightening quick. If we could get him in then we'd be flying

 

[Ether]

Klopp finished 8th in his first season, pretty sure most would have been calling for his sacking as well.

People would've backed Klopp to rebuild because was one of the best managers in the world with a proven track record, the only thing Ole has in his favour is what he did as a player.

 

[Bojan11]

Norwegian isn’t stronger than Scotland now let alone the 80s when it was a strong league.

 

[Grylte]

Why would Poch go from a CL finalist, a top 3 team, to us? What planet are you guys even living on?

"Not enough experience" - neither did Zidane or Pep, when they took over 2 of the biggest clubs on the planet.

Solskjær has been managing players bought by other managers, fit (ish) for other playstyles, atleast let him get his own players, who fits his playstyle.
We need a total fecking rebuild, with staff and players who care about United, not their clothing brand..

 

[passing-wind]

Offer spurs 60 million for Poch and whatever compensation. If it doesn't work out then look at Tuchel, Erik Ten Hag, I'd even take Nuno over Ole at this point.

Send Ole back to Norway, it's not about improvement with Ole next season it's estimating how bad we will have fallen. Disgraceful appointment

 

[Giggsyking]

He was ruthless with Fellaini "who I think was miles better than many players we have now", yet he only picked on him. He did that to score points at the vast majority of the fans that hate Fellaini. I can't trust him as a manager.

 

[bond19821982]

This is exactly what Moyes also said - to aspire like City. So how does he get a pass here?

 

[Sir Scott McToMinay]

What?
The Scottish league is far stronger than the Norwegian, let alone back in the early 80s.
Let alone, SAF had won a European cup with Aberden.
The Norwegian league is about league 1 level, at best.
They are incomparable whatsoever.

 

[Green_Red]

We've had so many games coming at us thick and fast in the second half of the season I doubt he has had any 'real' time to allow the players to do anything but rest between games.

Back him big time. Let him gut the squad and sell whoever he wants.

We need long term thinking now. We've proved sacking managers doesn't work. We need to steady the ship and Ole and his backroom staff are the group to do it.

 

[Xeno]

Blasphemy, but it’s a sack from me. Any other manager would be from those results.

 

[Mcking]

Football success at other clubs is down to managers being given time to build their team. To sack a manager after half a season is stupid.

It really isn't, many clubs do it. If you are giving a manager time, then you need something you can point to and hope on. There is nothing with Solskjaer.

 

[Andycoleno9]

I confused what is he supposed to do without a transfer window? Theres too many fanboys of the players who refuse to acknowledge there a massive amount of trash in our sqaud that no manager could turn them into a top team again

I don't know....maybe to beat relegation clubs.

 

[Grylte]

Norwegian isn’t stronger than Scotland now let alone the 80s when it was a strong league.

It's not weaker. Rosenborg has been dominating the league like Rangers and Celtic, after doing well in CL in the 90s-00s, breaking their domination was a really good job.
