Would you sack or keep Ole? (Poll reopened)

[Berbaclass]

It's been a feature of every first half under Ole this season pretty much.

No pressing, at all, and sitting ridiculously narrow. I dont get it. It's beyond words to have gone on so long.

I know we have but with a back 5 now it's insane how easy they're getting in behind

 

[soapythecat]

Slow on the ball, zero awareness, tactically a shambles, long ball hit and hope, zero style of play.
We’ve played this badly loads just not been put to the sword by good finishing.
This will be us under Ole for as long as he is here.

 

[Red Star One]

All is perfectly fine and according to the plan. We can’t complain since we won against West Ham after being carried by individual quality again.

 

[The holy trinity 68]

I am bored of this now. Ole has done alright with the team but they can't perform for more than 2 games in a row and Ole has to be held accountable for that.

 

[FrankDrebin]

Ha and some thought Lampard would go first.

 

[Rightnr]

This gave me good chuckle.

It's quite telling if even sammsky is questioning tactics.

If the RedCafe Ty is onto you, you know you're a clueless manager.

 

[luke511]

Matic and McTominay in midfield and 5 at the back, a combination we've literally never used before in the season's most important game so far. So dumb.

 

[Red Star One]

I am so bloody frustrated to see no game plan whatsoever. No style, no tactics, no nothing. We might as well grind out a result here and be bailed out by Bruno’s masterclass but will it change much? I’m not sure.

Oh it’s 3:0 now great. Ole can smile after the game and say CL is not our level still.

Edit: VAR got that disallowed. Still no idea how to play.

 

[Kush]

Same shit, another day. Team looking clueless early on and manager can’t make in-game adjustments early to plug the gaps.

Angelino basically had free run to do whatever he wanted to, and yet Ole doesn’t recognise this formation and tactics isn’t working.

2 years is an awful long time, the squad is good enough. Hire a better manager.

 

[Di Maria's angel]

What a shit manager. Goal or not. Some of you are actually deluded if you think this will change.

 

[Ace]

Needs to go after tonight.

 

[hp88]

I am pretty certain that he will be charge until the end of the season now, we will beat City on Saturday which will bring back some hope but he knows as well that his days are numbered.

Just hoping we don't make any major changes in the January window now.

 

[SAFMUTD]

Feck him he should resign at half time, what a freaking disgrase.

 

[Caesar2290]

Ha and some thought Lampard would go first.

He will because unlike us Chelsea have more ambition to win

 

[Josh 76]

Ole out of his depth. Hasn't got a clue at this level.

 

[dannyrhinos89]

I Said he was pathetic in the match day thread for using such negative tactics and using 7 defenders in a game we need a result from.

Got quoted numerous times that playing with 7 defenders is the way to go because we only need a draw.

I could see this coming from a mile away and I'm no coach so why can't this fraud. As I said originally now we've got 7 defenders on the pitch and were chasing the game.

 

[Redplane]

Don't worry. Here's what will happen -

1.We ll lose today and bow out the CL.

2. Get overwhelmed by City but somehow manage to sneak out a draw bc of a peno again.

Ole fans will say its proof we re not as bad as it appeared and we can still have a shot at winning the league.

3. Lose to bottomfeeders Sheffield and apologists will say its because they re desperate and "lesser teams" always out doing themselves against us/the goalie is have the night of his life.

4. Leeds will injury one of our key players but we ll scrape by with a scrappy win and apologists will say it proves the team have heart under Ole.

And so the cycle continues.

 

[Rightnr]

Matic and McTominay in midfield and 5 at the back, a combination we've literally never used before in the season's most important game so far. So dumb.

More importantly, playing two super slow midfielders and leaving your most dynamic midfielder on the bench against the team that is a symbol for pressing in modern football is a joke of a managerial decision.

People said the Spuds result was a one-off but it was a sign what a good-coached top-class team will do to us.

And we're lucky we're not 3-0 down by the 30th minute.

 

[laughtersassassin]

Ole needs to make a change now. Stop being proud and out on Pogba or something. You have no idea how to play a back 5.

 

[The Cat]

It's not just Ole it is the entire coaching team as well.

 

[Regulus Arcturus Black]

Matic and McTominay in midfield and 5 at the back, a combination we've literally never used before in the season's most important game so far. So dumb.

We did similar in that famous PSG win and we lucky not to be 5-0 down after 20 minutes. Bailly looked like he’d never even played a training session in the system.
Weird weird setup tonight.

And for those who don’t think coaching is that important, just look at that press from Leipzig, wow!

 

[The holy trinity 68]

WHY ON EARTH HAS HE NOT MADE A CHANGE?!

 

[FrankDrebin]

It's not just Ole it is the entire coaching team as well.

Leave Phelan's knees outta this !

 

[FrankDrebin]

WHY ON EARTH HAS HE NOT MADE A CHANGE?!

His monitor is 10 minutes behind.

Agreed, braindead and cowardly having Van de Beek on the bench tonight.

 

[Rightnr]

Unfortunately, it's nothing to do with pride here, competence and intelligence is what it has to do with.

 

[DRM]

And for those who don’t think coaching is that important, just look at that press from Leipzig, wow!

That's what a good manager does!

 

[Raoul]

A proper Cardiff quality performance.

 

[11101]

Said it multiple times before that our lineups are complete trial and error. There is no planning or thinking behind them. The second goal sums it up. How does a player come out of nowhere like that? It's abysmal coaching.

I want him gone by Christmas.

 

[redshaw]

Another mistake again I feel.

Shouldn't be going to a back 3 and putting Shaw in and no Donny, Donny was excellent against Leipzig and helped us pass out of the press with quick one touch passing. Just go with the usual formation in such a big away game with mobility in the middle. Ole has been mugged in Germany.

It's the same thing all the time, two steps forward two steps back, random selections. I don't see him learning fast enough at this level.

 

[littleman]

Foolish to leave Fred on last CL game.

Dumb decisions have ripple effects.

Trying to build around Pogba.
Trying to build around Martial.
Leaving on Fred.

 

[laughtersassassin]

WHY ON EARTH HAS HE NOT MADE A CHANGE?!

Decision paralysis. Comes with having no clue what you are at.

 

[hobbers]

It's not just Ole it is the entire coaching team as well.

Rest assured whoever replaces Ole there is zero chance they'll keep on any of his coaching staff, except maybe the goalkeeping coach.

 

[KD6-3.7]

I turned the game on ten minutes and wasn’t shocked to see we were losing. But looks like we are being completely outclassed but looking at that joke of a team just shows Ole has no balls and tried to play it safe for a draw.

Ole should be sacked after this but obviously won’t.

 

[Adisa]

A serious club would not stand for this nonsense.

 

[Rightnr]

You can hate the Spanish duo of prick clubs but they'd have sacked their manager at half time.

 

[FrankDrebin]

A serious club would not stand for this nonsense.

You know the answer.

 

[Raoul]

Sadly, it looks like Arsenal may ditch Arteta before we sack Ole, which means they will probably end up with Poch.

 

[Pennywise]

Imagine not qualifying from this group after the first 3 games. Utterly laughable. He is so negative, can't coach and we seemingly go behind in every game. He is utterly useless. A disgrace we have this clown in charge

 

[UmbroDays]

I still stand by end of season he needs to go. If we get knocked out today then I don’t even care if we win Europa and get into CL.

He has to go.
