That our success is down to having an amazing crop of players rather than the quality of the manager. These players are good enough to win and challenge for the highest honors, not just be content with top four. We are being held back with the quality of our current manager.
It's probably about time you just supported another team. You've become a parody account.

Some fans never learn there lesson. As if this didn’t happen before. I guess I will have to be proven right again.
This is why these threads are warranted because dicking the flavour of the month manager 5-0 still isn’t enough for those with a embarrassingly blatant agenda against our own manager.

Imagine your darling Poch finally gets a job and Ole beats him, I would be worried for you.

Beilliant stuff really. Beat wonderkid Nagelsmann 5-0 in the CL while resting key players. What more could you ask for?

we’ve just beaten the semi finalists from last season, who are too (very early) in their league and yet you still come out with negative BS.

If you wanted the best for United and also truly support this club, you would want the same. Only fans that support Ole rather than United will lower United standards for him.

How is that negative? I said I believe we have an amazing team and we are/should be challenging for the highest honors because of that.

What are you talking about? You bang on every week about everyone except Solskajer as if there's only one way to play football and everything else is shit. All these elite coaches you want to replace him with can't actually beat him, he's a better tactician than most of them.

It's sad that you can't be happy when United win, it really is.

I call out bs when I see it. I was even vocal about Zidane even when he won so many champions league team. A manager that relys so much on signing world class players, will eventually be found out. Any manager can win with a fantastic team, but to go to the next level requires a higher level of tactical acumen and emotional intelligence within that manager. I don’t see it with Ole unfortunately. We have an amazing team, and I expect a lot from it. I see us doing much better than last season as well. But, we won’t reach the highest honors that even Pochettino reached with a team that wasn’t as good as the one we currently have.

Your posts are an embarrassing mess. I'm going to put you on ignore because it's actually painful to read such nonsense.

And who made you the king of decking what is bullshit? You've been proven wrong. Utterly wrong. Your opinions are ridiculous and a laughing stock.
Im beginning to think you post like this just to get some attention. AmIrite?
I very very rarely put people on ignore as I like different opinions, but yours are just becoming too idiotic and offer no new insight into my life.

What would Ole have to do for you to change your mind about his ability as a manager?

Doesn't get anywhere near enough credit. Bar that performance against Spurs, Ole has generally been superb in the big games. Tactically spot on again tonight against a very good Leipzig side.

"Martial...He's isolated Skrtel here..."
How was I being a WUM?
We were excellent vs PSG, then a flat performance vs Chelsea, we were excellent tonight. Hardly being a WUM by asking if we can back it up vs Arsenal
There's nothing to back up, it's difficult for any team in the world to put in perfect performance match after match, and you saying so in a thread talking about Ole's tactical excellence comes off as being "not convinced" which is ridiculous considering the evidence we have over his time at this point. No he doesn't get every decision correct, and maybe we lose against Arsenal, but neither one of those things makes tonight a one off performance that needs to be backed up just to convince you.

At this point if you don't see the moves he makes (again not saying he's a mastermind, but he's not the PE teacher many think he is either), then you're just someone that wants him gone either way and would be screaming had we lost tonight.

Think all the debates about him being a PE teacher and being inferior need to be put to bed now. Let’s waste our time on more obvious problems like who to pick in midfield and formations

Since lockdown has resumed, only City have more points than us in the PL. then add in the 2 brilliant CL results.

not bad for a team that our fans think isint even ‘coached’ property with a unqualified manager.

OP is 100% justified. I'm so happy for Ole. Fcuk you to any united fan who is for some reason not pleased with tonight's performance. Reminded me of a proper euro night under Fergie.

I'm about to show all you folks
What's it's all about
Now it's time for a Noggie to get on the mic
And make this Old Trafford party hype
I'm talking it back to the Ole school
'Cause I'm an Ole fool who's so cool
If you want to get down
I'm gonna show you the way - whoomp there it is
Let me hear you say
Whoomp there it is

Noggie meaning Norwegian

We are declining under Ole.

He has no plan. Poch and Nagelsmann would take this team forward and build a promising side that can win while entertaining.

Ole is a yes man and should be sacked ASAP.

Im I doing this right?

It's embarrassing.

I look at our squad now and tonight just shows how far we've come regards shaping our squad. The players we started and were able to bring on. Not there yet, but we've shown progression, which is ultimately what Ole should be judged on.

Supporters of this club have been baited for months by OleOUTers that hipster coaches like Nagelsmann put our manager to shame.
Viciously ranting that Ole doesn't know tactics, how to coach patterns of play, organise a press or make timely substitutions.
And WTF does he do in coaching session?

Solskjaer's Manchester United 5 - Naglessman's Leipzig 0
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:


These threads are just getting too easy.
A top draw bonafide performance vs the most in form team in Europe and last seasons CL semi finalists.
Leipzig barely getting a serious shot on target. United totally dominant.

Ole is proving to be one of the highest tactical brains in world football. Give him the right quality of players and a little time, and he's be spanking them all.
You are tiresome. Why can’t you just enjoy the win without coming out with hyperbole.

We didn't have an amazing team when he took over. It was full of dead wood.

So how do you reconcile that? He's been here two years and now we have a great team and strong squad. How has this happened if not because of the manager?

It’s how Ole has built discipline. Desire, teamwork, and added high quality coaching and tactics.

And within 5 months schooled two of the very very best teams in Europe.

And this team has so much more potential to fulfill.

watching this transformation month by month has been one of the most joyous experiences as a fan for many years!
I know you agree :)

The agenda is for both side to be fair.

The one touch passages of play to get out of the press were as good as anything I’ve seen from us in about a decade.
Yep. I think it’s the best I’ve seen us play under Ole. How rare has it been that we play well for the majority of a match and keep going for goals. We must do more of this!
Greenwood’s clinical finish was so important in opening the game up too.

Because these players have been signed and improved under Ole. Pochetino would have signed Jannsen

Except this guy he absolutely trounced tonight didn’t lay a glove on this united team that is apparently so poorly coached.

People might take you seriously if you weren’t such an obvious agenda poster, give ole some credit he nailed it tonight, the line up, the subs, the formation.

He is genuinely excellent tactically in big matches, deserves as much praise for these games as he receives criticism for poor results against Burnley. Probably won't get it mind.
Yes, excellent. Pogba on the left side of midfield was nice, and we made them play it out wide all the time where we pressed them into mistakes.
Lovely stuff.

Tonight was utterly brilliant, was a bit of whirlwind first half but the second was everything we're good at rolled into 45mins of entertainment. Whether you're Ole in or Ole out, everyone is enjoying today and simple facts are we're flying in Europe, we're a bit hit and miss so far in the PL but there's no point using form from last season and linking it to the current one. If we beat Arsenal, we'll go ~9th, let's just focus on that and sorting out the PL form.

If you look back at what I wrote this is much on the same lines as that. Team is good against teams that give space in behind as was evident today. If my analysis is correct this same team will struggle and get many draws against the 10-20 placed teams in the PL due to a lack of tactical know how. And if that's wrong then fair play I'll put my hand up and say so


But seriously what a great result. Fantastic

You need ole to lose for you to be happy. You are deeply conflicted when we win (which is very often).

WHEN ole wins big trophies (and he will), you wont enjoy it all. Because it's not what you want.

Its not silly, I just said it, and I'll keep saying it.
Strong believe there!! Our fan base are too fickle and we jsut cant accept other opinions that are differet then ours. You like Ole and he does not...you think he can win a big trophy and other do not...so what?

I've felt the same throughout. Do the right things for long enough and results follow. Ole has been doing the right things since day one and we are now seeing the progression manifest in better results.

We've been the best team in the country since February. With a young team. And we are going to get better. And it's down to Ole and his coaches. Like you I've absolutely loved watching the progress. The only unpleasantness has been watching sections of out own support try to ruin it by trying to undermine Ole at every turn. We'd honestly be much better off without those people.

Those 2 losses were clearly down to fitness. Even at the time it was obvious. One week preseason against teams who'd had a month. We were miles off the pace. Ever since the international break we've been back to normal. I want to hear no more about other managers.

We've been smashing those teams pretty consistently since February.

I’ve said it a fair few times before but I’ll say it again: the job he has done with the make up of our squad is nothing short of outstanding.

We played a strong first team and were able to bring on the likes of Rashford, Bruno and Cavani to get us over the line against a very good side.

Granted, squad shaping comes at a cost but he’s succeeding in an area that others overwhelmingly failed. The decision to bin off Sanchez and Lukaku and trust in Rashford, Martial and Greenwood was a brave one that is starting to pay dividends.

And yes, we could very well lose to Arsenal at the weekend; however, I look at where we were compared to where we are now and the progress is undeniable.

What would Ole have to do for you to change your mind about his ability as a manager?
The first thing he has to do is show some consistency. We can be world class one time and our bottom level is that of a championship team. I don’t expect, attractive football from ole as that isn’t his philosophy, so I just have to learn to like his counter attacking football.

The next thing is to become a United standard manager where winning trophies is important and we are always in the top four at least. Some fans on here lowers United standard for Ole, which shouldnt be the case.

The last one is not having his success defined by spending more than our rivals/ a lot of cash. This window, was in the right direction even though we still spent a lot compared to previous windows. I don’t want to see fans say we didn’t sign Sancho, etc., that our expectations is only top four. A good manager with this team, can easily get top four, challenge for the title, and win important trophies with or without those world class signing.

These are some of the main points that Ole needs to do to believe he is the right manager.

Glad those fans that wants to block me, block me. I don’t have to waste time responding to their post.:) They will feel the impact of an Amadaeus moment.
