At what point do we accept that Ole can make mistakes, and actually criticize him for it?

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.

Everyone at HT: Fred needs taking off
*Fred starts second half and gets sent off*
Some in here: how could Ole prevent that

we’ve dominated a chunk of this game - but everyone could see Fred’s card was marked.
Rather than proactively managing the game, Ole has now hadctocreactcto us losing chasing the game with 10 men. Why not bring pogba or VDB on earlier.
now we’ve taken off two forwards when we’re behind.
bullshit management.
Pathetic......Yet again. How fecking dense can you be?
Bored of this crap now. Wrong team choice again, no tactics again, Just trying to luck his way to a draw again.

I'm as ole in as anyone in here.
But the decision to not sub Fred is the stupidest decision he made since he joined the club.
It doesn't matter if the Fred second yellow wasn't correct.

If anybody needed any more reminders of why Ole will never win a title... Absolutely appalling in game management. This game was there for the taking and Ole has blown it through his own deer in headlights shit decision making.
Why was Fred still on after half time? No, seriously, why? Why are a clearly bang out of form Martial and a clearly injured Rashford on the pitch for 75 minutes?
We blew 2 of the 3 semi finals last season through basic team selection and in game management mistakes. We threw away top four in 2019 when we were favourites for it and we almost threw it away at the very end of last season, despite the immense turnaround in form from February. Can see us very easily throwing away CL knockouts as well.

How many times do we have to fluff our lines at decisive moments before the manager gets questioned. Probably never and we'll continue being nearly men.
Not saying that Mourinho is right for us, but he took Lamela off against us after the situation with Martial which was very sensible.
Inexcusable by Ole to keep Fred on the pitch.

Facts
It's inevitable. Why are we waiting?
Do you not think he did some indefensible things tonight?
appalling mistake. But managers make mistakes. Get over yourself.
It really isn't. He deployed decent tactics tonight. But by god, everyone could see this coming from a mile off. Not to mention PSG were getting back into the game 5 mins before they scored. Ole needs to be quicker, they made 3 substitutes a few minutes before scoring. Where is Ole's reaction to that? Terrible game management and a big reason as to why we are so inconsistent.
Ridiculous & inexcusable to send Fred out for the 2nd half. Everyone could see the red was coming. His inability to make substitutions before it’s too late is so infuriating.
I have the utmost respect for Ole, but the decision to not sub Fred at half was bizarre, to say the least. Novice management against one of the worst play-acting teams in European football. I did predict he would be sent and the fault would be on Ole.
This is such a dumb take from you and many people. Make up for what mistake excatly? Red had time to look at this again and again and he didn't send Fred off. End of. Do we always sub players off now when they're on a yellow? The ref is having a blinder. McTominay has made 5 fouls and hasn't been booked. Fred gets sent off for not fouling anyone and that's Ole's fault? It's Ole's fault that Martial didn't put the game to bed? We've been the better team today and people are calling for sack. There's no hope for you lot or this site either. Moderation is complete shambles.
Defeat is squarely on the manager tonight. Sunday League stuff in terms of his decision making.
We should be winning. But he should have taken Fred off at 55. Christ on a bike what was he thinking.
Now we have to go to Germany. Very poor from Ole.

These people still have Oles 99 poster on their wall!
How people can defend his decisions tonight is beyond me
Possibly the most blatantly stupid managerial decision at any club in 2020, just insane
Nothing to bicker about. It was idiotic and if it knocks out of the CL it's on him
Doubt he missed that, he was just hoping Fred plays a perfect half without dangerous fouls, which doesn't make it any better.
Didn't know Oles family posted on the Caf.

At half time.
Mourinho was more right for us than this clown. Martial and pogba wouldnt be at this club if Jose was still here which would be a big win.
Two biggest wasters at the club.
He did not miss that, he is just plain stupid.
Imagine if this was the semi final or even final.
Us missing 2 or 3 sitters has nothing to do with the situation we’re now in?
He's got to go now. Fred as well!
Seriously can’t believe he didn’t take Fred off. Especially the way he plays and the fact the ref would surely be looking for any excuse. Just incredible. I mean Fred wins the ball so it’s a harsh sending off even if he should have already been off.
Leaving Fred on the pitch was the single most idiotic decision he's made all season, he's now not even available for our crucial tie against Liepzig. He's not the only one to blame though, Martial has been completely and utterly dreadful this season and let us down big time tonight.
If we lose this I better not see "we were down to ten men" used as an excuse.
Keep arguing with your glasses on. Today is completely on Ole. If you know referee is having a blinder, as a manager you would take him off. If you dont do that, then you are just not a right fit.
Bunch of babies on here seriously. Any excuse to blame Ole, lets forget the positive performance generally speaking, in a group all you Ole outers wrote off at the start. Hypocrites.
Well someone just posted on BBC in game "complete managerial incompetence".
Says it all. Can see us losing at Leipzig & out again.

feck off you primadonnas
Poor game management. Ole has really screwed us....Martial should not be starting and should be made to walk home.
That got ruined by Ole ineptness?
It's a good performance spoiled by hideous management.
He gambled. Managers do it regularly. It should have paid off and this tie put to bed but for some piss poor finishing. It’s unfortunate yes, and hindsight obviously proves it the wrong decision. But Jesus Christ the hissyfits in this thread. It’s the bone a fair few people on here have been waiting for.
