This thread is full of ridiculous strawmen.
Ole didn't say that tactics were irrelevant.
He just deflected the question by saying that passion is also important, because discussing abstract tactical minutiae during a press conference would mean missing bigger picture.
McTominay and Fred are not 'just' DMs. Pogba isn't 'just' an AM. They each have their own ways of playing the same position and desire factors massively into that.
Pogba has more talent in his little toe than Fred has in his whole body. But Fred's passion is miles higher than Pogba's. So passion has to factor into the manager's thinking.
Ole is a manager of men, not a FM player manipulating a glorified spreadsheet.
