Wan Bissaka and Lingard will obviously take fair criticism for that, but every single decision Solskjaer made tonight was baffling and made the game impossible to win. I’ve never seen a manager feck up quite so often in one game of football. Van Gaal’s Nick Powell moment wasn’t as bad as that.

I've said it before and I say it again. Good man manager, squad builder, and everything that a DoF does. But to coach a team, that he can't. Therefore, should bring someone in who can.

Surely has to be gone if we don't make it out of this group.

Also, depressing how he brought Lingard on. He has ZERO composure under pressure and we needed an outlet who could keep the ball.

So I am not going to blame Ole for that one because we got a red card but couldn't we do anything more than get absolutely battered by Young Boys having 0 shots ourselves? Sevilla got a red card too but still managed to make 6 shots. That was just embarrassing to watch but it happens quite often nowadays.

Holy shit... everything that could’ve gone wrong did go wrong. Worst performance I’ve ever seen apart from the MK dons game since fergie retired and look at our team. That is a game worthy of the sack

I don't even know what to say.

We shouldn't look utterly incompetent like that even with a man down. People are fooling themselves if they think a magical midfielder being brought in fixes our ball-keeping issues.

Ok waiting for all Ole ins to turn up and say how this was all on players and he has nothing to do with it.

Infact he managed the game brilliantly and with better luck , we could have won this.

Am I doing it right? Ok waiting!!

Even with Ronaldo, Pogba, Fernandes, and Varane in the squad, we won't win a single trophy under Ole. That's the sad truth.

Repeat what I have been saying for ages. To reach the very top, you need a the most talented coaches. I am all for him staying but I accept we will always be a nearly team. Others should do the same.

Shambolic peformance. He doesn't seem to know how to set up a team to play high quality possesion play. 3 years and we are still terrible at it.

What an irony that our ultimate impact sub, is the worst guy in making decisions regarding subs. Clueless.

We have played 3 decent teams this season and all 3 have played us off the park. No tactics just vibes. That second half performance was embarrassing and we got what we deserved

Feck knows what he was doing today. Compare Chelsea with 10 men against Liverpool to that.

I agree and I can totally understand your reservations around the coaching or the in game management aspect, we all see things that could be better but we trust his judgement and hope that if he is making mistakes, he's learning from them, like everyone does in any job.

What I don't agree with is the achievements thing. A good CV doesn't guarantee future success, same for players. We've had big names come here in the last few years and stink the place out, same for managers. We're a unique club with a different identity. We will never be a Madrid or a Chelsea so there's no point in trying to replicate anything they're doing. It's all about being the right fit for a club like Manchester United.

Also, when Solskajer does win a trophy, your argument is no longer valid so it doesn't make sense to use that as a reason to potentially sack someone, in what is the most competitive league we've probably ever seen in the PL era.
Well, todays match gives everything you need to know about him as a manager. He might be a good person. But he is not a good coach or tactician.

AWB getting sent off and Lingard passing the ball to them in his own box with the last kick of the game is totally on Ole. You agenda pushing shit heads.
That performance was pathetic.

How is that in any way acceptable for the squad we've got?

He subbed in Lingard btw. I know he didn't tell him to do that awful back pass, but he made the choice to sub in Lingard and take off the greatest CL goal-scorer ever.

I like the guy but honestly that might be his worst performance, definitely as bad as it’s ever been. Cowardly tactics, that second half is the most abysmal I’ve seen us in a long long time it’s no excuse to be like that even with 10.

Got it totally wrong tonight. Those subs were a disgrace. Fred and Pogba should have been hooked before anyone else.

How many more chances is he going to give Martial and Lingard to disappoint?
