I feel for those who are every 3 years make some stupid and wrong comments like begging to hire Mourinho & just pretend like no one ever saw or heard their viewpoints just because they were never that important in the first place. The football we watched has always been boring & what has been happening in the background with the squad has been way more important - if people can't see that then keep begging to hire a Mourinho every 2-3 years.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Yes Einstein you figured it out.
The game was bad today but for some reason it felt like a United performance. I enjoyed that win very much. Ole did everything right except for putting Rashfold on the field.
Then we don't go for Poch, if he is stabilizing the team. Because stability is what we need right now.
It's a tougher job to be negative all the time.
You can be a dumb guy and still be intelligent. Just look at Ole. Obviously smarter than all of us, but still an idiot.
So, one can not be pessimistic about the way we play? Depending on counter-attacks and coincidence as the way to create chances are what is going to take us back to the top? Is the sample size big enough yet for us to conclude regarding OGS prefered style of play?
While I agree that there are a fair number of those that want OGS out that makes their opinion based on the last match, or his lack of credentials, or statements in the media and whatnot. And that these opinions are based on short term options... Please don't make it out to be that all the posters on here that do not share your opinion regarding our manager are as subjective as the average Norwegian football journo.
There are also a fair amount of the people being negative towards OGS that are so irrespective of short term elements -->
Based on the opinion that the way we approach the task of winning football matches is not going to take us far.
The lack of focus on what is fundamental in all performing teams are technical ability and passing efficiently.
Based on the players brought in and complete lack of any sort of passing system or general improvement in this department over the last 12 months.
Even if we make the top 4 this season, I would still prefer us to get a more progressive type of manager.
What did he exactly do?
I have not changed my stance on him yet. He's not been any good, and He must go if we can bring in a better manager.
You'd have to be a fool to think Ole did anything wrong playing Rashford, we needed to win and weren't looking likely, so he put our best player on. If we'd lost tonight and Rashford never made it off the bench this place would be going mental.
This thread has same pattern as Jones and Lingard threads had in the past. 3 or 4 games of shit then one good game at OT and people would forget all that shit and started to praise them etc...
I think that even last year people still thought that problem with Jones are only injuries

There’s some very sad and strange posts on this thread. Reading this thread you’d think we’ve just been hammered 5 nil and out the FA Cup.
Wait, i don't deserve to be mentioned? Did i do something wrong?
Can't disagree with that. I would probably have made the same decision.
Win percentage now at 50.8%
Agree. This is our only chance for trophy. If your best player said that he is ready then he should play in this match. And i don't think that this injury has something with his previous one. Just bad luck
I was just stating a fact mate, I know for a fact the guys will be flying into that thread after the Liverpool game. Maybe not after a win, but well, we know what they will say, they will always say something.
I respect your opinion that we fail at passing sometimes, but where we do not fail is that we have a clearer idea of the team, and it's not just counter attacking. We talked about it extensively in this thread and elsewhere so I see no need to bring it up. In short, I like Ole's play style because it reminds me of the United with Ronaldo, Rooney and Tevez. And I think we can get something out there, hopefully soon enough, that will depends on how we can get players we want. Right now, it's individual errors that are costing more than anything.
My opinion, and I am not from Norway, so I don't get the mention of the average Norwegian journalist.
I have liked different type of football, but I am not for any type of progressive football that would be about controlling the ball aimlessly or, as I like to say, soullessly. Who cares, we want intensity, we want percussion, we want conviction, win at all cost and freak out the opposition, that's what we want, and the tactics? Just a mean to do that. At best, I would prefer a Klopp style of play and that's definitely not "progressive". Or not possession based.
Maybe you did not like our 2008 team? That's OK, I remember plenty of people did not like the team, we were not playing like Barcelona or anything. Nor Arsenal. But that was a style that I liked. I actually love how the opposition thought we were crap but we could still win it. It's what creates the fear in the long run.
Can’t we all just get along 
Good win for Ole - now he needs to take that into the PL and start winning some more games where it matters - like on Sunday...
But why waste your valuable emotions, energy and time on other people enjoying supporting their club? Seems very odd to me.
People giving out about style of play and relying on counter attacks have to realise we need a midfielder and nothing can be done until then. If he buys a playmaker and gets Pogba back and style is still terrible then criticise, not sure what any manager can do with current midfield.
Those saying he should have resolved last summer then also have to acknowledge that shoring up defence was main priority then given how terrible it was last season. He likely spent his budget on HM and AWB, that was a good transfer window let him have another to solve midfield

Let's hope we don't replace him with Nuno Espirito Santo when he does go. Do Wolves have these great 'patterns of play' that people on here say coaches like him bring to the table? Dire stuff.
Nice win for Ole. I love the fact the Ole out brigade are somehow having to twist pretending to be a United fan, whilst at the same time playing down a midweek win with tired players.
Says the guy supporting a team whos manager doesn't know when to change his back 4 even after all the hammerings , anyway enjoy the championship next seasonYou can be a dumb guy and still be intelligent. Just look at Ole. Obviously smarter than all of us, but still an idiot.
I had to check - and that's practically my entire ignore list haha
Meh not wasting anything. It's a feeling for a minute then moving on, as it must be a pretty tough task convincing yourself what you're seeing week in week out is good enough and fun worthy of defending. Not like I went to each one feeling that and told them to change their opinion.
The 2008 team had quality all over the pitch, we could score in any way, crossing, long shots, through balls through the centre, free kicks, and just through pure brilliant individual quality. I can definitely see Ole attempting to create a similar team, a team that can score anywhere and anytime, but there's currently a lack of quality in our squad to pull that off. It does take time to build that team.
I for one clearly see improvement in this team if I compare it to the other managers reign here.
Both teams were pretty knackered as Ole said in the post match but it was a much better game than the previous tie (not difficult). Both teams were good and bad at different times. Wolves hit the post and should have scored early on, James missed a few good chances to put United ahead. Hate to be harsh but both teams had one attacking tactic for the first half and it didn't work for either them or us. United were the better team in the second half and scored on the counter.

It's bit frustrating seeing comments like this. We've seen it a few times with Ole playing players who really shouldn't be featuring. In certain games of the season it makes sense but personally an FA Cup 3rd Round replay (Rashford), Rochdale (Pogba) and McTominay (Newcastle?) I think it's clearly been the wrong call.
Wow what a statement. This team plays just like Jose’s team with worst results. LVG called it correctly last year.
That's poor management again to be honest. Shouldn't have had him even on the bench if that was the case. He needs to be so much stronger with injured players. I know it's tough with our poor squad, but it does more harm than good the way he's handling these situations.
I guess this explain why we make injuries worse. Struggled for a little while yet played a lot against Norwich.
I hope this is not going to result in him being out for long.
You've given me a handy list there for using with the ignore button!
He hasn’t got the players
I don't think that he was seriousSays the guy supporting a team whos manager doesn't know when to change his back 4 even after all the hammerings , anyway enjoy the championship next season
Ole's strategy with injured players is to rush them as earlier as possible and risk them getting injured again. Has been doing that for a long time now.
Perhaps he already had you on ignore?Wait, i don't deserve to be mentioned? Did i do something wrong?
Yeah he is very much thinking short term and only focused on the next game and win. You can understand it, but sometimes you need to let players rest before they get back into the side.
