The problem with Ole's tactics is that his plan A is great players bailing him out, when they don't, we just don't win (as we saw against Southampton). I don't even know what plan B is. Does Klopp or Pep have a plan B? No. Russell Martin said it best when talking about the myth of plan B.

I mean I was thinking about Conte as our potential manager yesterday and how he would be for us.
Can we stop this?
Did you watch Chelsea against Arsenal? There you go, a clear style that won them the game. Both of their goals were a systematic approach. Don't kid yourself, teams like City, Chelsea and Liverpool rely on their system rather than individual players (although, they of course need great players too).
Absolutely not. Take out a big player from Liverpool and they'd still be a winning juggernaut like last season. Oh wait.
The thing is that top players are needed to play top quality football. There is a reason why there is a stronger correlation between player wages (quality of side) and where the team finishes than correlation between manager wages (or quality of manager however you want to define it) vs final position in the league table.
Yeah, Shane Long could have outmuscled Mari. Brilliant example.
It will never stop, unfortunately.
What?
City with a great and clear system didn't win CL last season. Mount and Havertz was brilliant in the final.
because they don't play to his strengths? Portugal uses a different system, a system that he won't flourish in. Bruno is a risk-taker number 10, and that's where he plays at United. Your post is so lazy, it's like tactics don't matter. "pattern of play bullshit". Jesus. Just read this thread, and try to watch a game. We are so, so bad in our build-up, regardless of who plays. That's pattern of play, that's a tactical setup. It's funny, United is not even close to winning big things despite splashing billions on transfers and having one of the best squads in the world, but it's nothing wrong with Ole!

This is what will ultimately end Ole's tenure because I cannot see us winning enough to justify the way we play. A change in coaching staff might change things.
Exactly, but if you point that out you hate Ole and tactics are just bullshit. So naive.
Ole would be sacked already if he wasn't Ole. The board love him as he acts as a shield for them, fans a slower to vocally voice negativity around performances and results with a legend in charge.
He's a dream manager for this board. He will keep us in top 4, where the CL money is and that's all they care about.
The gifs in that thread are so painful to watch. Two and half seasons, yet Ole can't coach us to play better against press.
How long did Potter need, one month? Then you just realize how light Ole takes at these things. He doesn't seem to think it is of any importance or he just isn't good enough, either way, we have a problem.
Managers do not get sacked because of a result in a final, irrespective of the opposition. Doubt any of the clubs you've mentioned have ever done that. They get sacked because of the performances in the league and sometimes in continental trophy.
Tldr is basically - AWB is absolutely rubbish when we have the ball. Which of course we already know.
Well I don't care until he don't win this season. He signed his marquee signings in Varane and Sancho.
I feel some will stop at nothing to absolve Solskjaer of any blame for our shortcomings on the pitch these last few seasons. It's almost a cult like obsession to see him succeed despite his obvious limitations. You can't be a real supporter of united for saying these things apparently
This! These clubs remain successful on the pitch while spending even less than united on transfers because they are ruthless. Chelsea is a good example of a club that has won several trophies in seasons where they underachieved until they brought someone else in. Pirlo was let go after a season at Juventus etc.
Or McTominay who can't pass or create for shit
Lesser teams with inferior players can do that. Although our midfield isn't the best, it's mostly down to tactics.
My original post referenced that very thing. If we are out of the title race or CL by Dec, or we end up with nothing again this year, he needs to go.Well I don't care until he don't win this season. He signed his marquee signings in Varane and Sancho.
The trend is on upwards. He came close for trophies, this is the season he couldn't feck up, or else sack him.
I'm not pro Ole, but I do believe in stability, player growth and team chemistry. Why destroy that progress halfway?
Out of curiosity, where does Klopp's spending sit if you take out the transfer value of Coutinho?Well I don't care until he don't win this season. He signed his marquee signings in Varane and Sancho.

Yes because it's only the 1-1 draw which has people doubting his ability as a head coach. Think it may have more to do with the fact that the same issues that we've seen since he's joined were once again put on show, which is hardly inspiring, given the money he's spent and the time he's had now.
hmm, Mike Phelan is the real manager??
I haven't seen that guy in our dugout in a while, but if that was a sarcastic response then OK
Zero excuses for him now
Let’s get this title yeah lads!! Who’s with me.
Have 10 minutes off will you.We sign a midfielder and it all gel's, we're in fecking business in a big way
