Being tactically sound maybe ? The thought of just throwing your best players in regardless of any consideration about tactic or current circumstances will win you matches is pretty naive imo. Football is not that simple, if so no club would have to spend millions hiring the best coaches. All they need to would be buying the best players available then throw them in.
What about Ole tells you he is tactically sound? Match Day threads have been losing their mind for the last 12 months on his decisions. The two best players we have are arguably Bruno and Pogba (cries for Rashford and Martial are understandable), if he can't find a way to make those two work in a system speaks volumes about him as a manager. It's his job to make things work, and it is my job as a fan to have expectations.
Beating all the top teams including Pep 3 times... It’s clear that Ole is tactically sound and anyone who says otherwise hasn’t been paying attention. Ole has shown significant tactical flexibility using 4-5-1, 5-3-3 and the 4-4-2 to great effect this season. We have one of the best records against the top 6 in the league all whilst having to play the season with a ridiculous number of injuries to our key players.
Where did you hear this
This is such a relief to have these kind of options now
Match day threads are no way to judge a team, the only thing match day threads can judge is how emotional or drunk people are when watching!
Our discussion was never about Ole being tactical sound or not. What we are discussing is about not starting both Pogba and Bruno next match. According to you it should be considered illogical or tactically inept aka "don't know what Ole is thinking" (that's what you mean right?). According to me, it's maybe logical and tactically sound. That's all.
The Manchester F.A. tweeted this quote from Phelan where he talks about the "4-3-3 we're using"

I've seen this before. When he says the 4-3-3 we are using isn't he talking about the matches we've played already where we were shaped in a 4-3-3. Also was Pogba back around the time he said this?
Because we have more quality players than them the scenario before the break of no Rashford/Pogba/Son/Kane probably suited us more in a way, especially considering the form of the 2 sides.
Exactly this. Jose knows how and when to use subs and on the other side we have Ole whos not good at it.
Not if the subs don't do what he wants them to do. At that point he will probably use the new rule to sub the subs and be overly tactical for no reason and piss everyone off.
People spent their time during Mourinho's stay here criticizing his subs every chance they got but as soon as he left, his subs and tactics are back to being godly again. Just goes to show the Caf mentality where it's imperative to over hype the opposition while under appreciating what we've got ourselves.
Oh man I hope we stuff you!OMG, you haven't got, like, one of those names right.
Yeah it's massive. Especially when for a large portion of the season we've had Fred and Matic as the only available CMs and no AM outside of Lingard/Pereira/Mata
And you can just see that happening!I am actually starting to get nervous in anticipation.
Thanks again for the heads up on this, just done it now. The next pencilled in date for refunds is 30th June if you haven't received yours yet.
No probs! I got an email yesterday saying mine has been processed and I'll get it in a couple of days. Wasn't sure if that was just me or everyone!
Don't know why, but have a feeling you are in the wrong thread!
Oh come on, don't do this to me, I have 0-5!
Ah curses, I missplaced my zinger. It was about City Arse.
You mean the usual 400,000 from Stockport
