His sub didn’t fail tactically? It failed because a player made an error he wouldn’t make 9999 times in 10000. Lingard is to blame for what he did. It has feck all to do with tactics.

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.

Southampton, Wolves and now Young Boys.
All so early in the season.
Recurring theme here.

Coward of a manager who severely handicaps us from winning any meaningful trophy. It has been the consistent theme in his time as a United manager, his decision making leans hard into being a coward.
Of all the times I’ve said Ole out I don’t think I’ve ever been more disappointed with him. He wasn’t even out of his depth vs Young Boys and still shat himself.
A specialist in failure who unfortunately won’t take us where we should be with the squad we have. We should be league & champions league contenders. The “Ole tax” means we’ll get nowhere near either.
I feel severe jealousy when I look across at Guardiola, Klopp & Tuchel managing our rivals.

Look at how Chelsea played at Anfield with 10 men. Compare the approach which we took against the mighty Young Boys. We have a small-time manager who if he were a manager of a mid-table club would not be able to keep them in the league.
No way are we winning the league or the CL under Ole. We’re just pretending till the shit will hit the fan.

Yeah it's mainly not the mistakes but the overall standard of football. That's why we look like a lower league club when down to 10 men against a Swiss side. Quality of football matters even though so many here don't care
We all know he’s not a fancy-Dan tactical manager like Tuchel or Pep - he’s more of an old school manager like Big Sam.
Even before the sending off we were werent great. Pep or Tuchel or Klopp destroy this team. The game is over by 60 minutes if one of them is managing.
We have no tactics. Just relying on individual brilliance all the bloody fecking time.

he has no idea what he is doing, about the tactics of reading the games and about the changes. completely useless
We've beaten PSG a bunch of times.
Chill, it was 10 men on a astroturf pitch. A poor game for sure, but you know very well we've beaten significantly better opposition frequently.
Cool mate. As long as it makes you feel good about the whole thing.
OGS said we have a better squad than the treble winning team, maybe, but shame we dont have a manager anywhere near the level to manage the squad.
Fecking this. All it takes is one loss and where we have two MASSIVE howlers nonetheless and the rats come streaming from the woodwork.
It's fine to be angry. I damn near threw the cat, but the fact that you come here to went after this means it's not fecking rational
CAF tacticians has the whole coaching team discussing about the in game, real time situation on how to do it better than United coaching staff.
Love this. Keep it coming.
Love this. Keep it coming.
If he doesn't win our next CL game at home to Villarreal he should be sacked on the spot. We shouldn't risk a repeat of last season.
Exact same logic as his but reversed. Well done though. You clearly got that.What logic
The man brought on Jesse Lingard and Anthony Martial to see out a game with 10 men, where we were under extreme pressure.
He hasn't a fecking clue. An absolute fraud at this level.
He hasn't a fecking clue. An absolute fraud at this level.
He is completely out of his fecking depth. That's the kindest way I can put it at the moment
Quality of football, tactics, our general play... it is just below par but fans are happy if we win games. Just imagine what a top coach would do with that squad
Likely the most cowardly, pathetic performance I've seen from us in 15 years of following the club. May sound like hyperbole, but it was absolutely diabolical. Gave up the game in the second half and simply decided to hand over the game to wait out the mighty Young Boys. No shots on target, no creativity, no patterns and no tactics.
I was firmly Ole in before this game, and god bless him. This performance cannot be forgiven, from a philosophy or sporting standpoint. We need to get another manager in, but we obviously will not.

We’ve beat PSG twice and lost twice. They’re hardly our whipping boys.
Don't really blame Ole for tonight. Individual errors buggered us. Had we gotten away with a draw we'd be praising the effort of the boys.
Agreed. Half time. Should have had the talk with him that it would have been better to save him for Sunday and let someone on whom can put a defensive shift in. Complete bottle job in that regard. He has to make tough calls where big egos are involved.
Woeful.
Lost his head completely.
All that needed to be done was bolster the midfield, keep the ball and take the sting out of the game. Man does the complete opposite; leaves only one midfielder on the pitch.

Young boys shot 10 times more than we did. 10!
Took the wrong players off in my opinion. Pogba just doesn't have the legs to play in a team whose a man down. Gave the ball away countless times. Ole should have reacted far sooner to the onslaught Young Boys put on us. I think a draw would have been a good result and OLE was right to play for it. He gave Jesse a chance and he was heavily let down, though it was a mistake to drop him deeper for Martial.
I do feel very good about where we’re heading. Unlike the utter melts who rush in here to preach utter bollocks based on a freak result and wallow in misery.
Disasterclass today.
Your first point is oh so valid, but all many will see is;
Not his fault that we had a red card and Jesse made a bad pass, he has his badge, you don't. Good grief.
Please never change @meamth, it is beautiful.
We were 1-0 up when he made his changes. Then when that didn’t work, he went more defensive. Until the last couple of minutes when he brought a midfielder off for a striker and moves the player he did have up front into the position the defensive midfielder was playing in. I mean, you couldn’t make worse decisions without trying. And none of that requires hindsight. We’ve all watched this United team be absolutely shite at defending leads.
Never rated Ole has a manager, his game management and tactics are outdated, Europa league standard manager at best.
The longer it goes on with Ole you could see players like Pogba and even Ronaldo becoming extremely frustrated, simply put, you suspect Ole is not quite the right manager moving forward to get Utd where they need to be, Utd need to get over the past and look at an innovative coach to take them forward, am afraid it is not Ole, is anyone else out there? definitely, I think Zidane would be an outstanding choice to succeed Ole and get Utd where they absolutely need to be, I am tired of seeing Utd being embarrassed in Europe!

I didn't say it was spot on. But to blame him for this loss is just low from people who dislike him.
Top of the Premier League. Most goals in Premier League but sure, we are not a good team at all. Or?
You can criticise him but to blame him for this loss without taking inte consideration of everything that happened is just wierd.Exactly. Don't know why people are blaming Ole , right
Yeah I wish Ole coach them to play with 10 men starting tomorrow.
Hope he doesn't shit his tanga in the other group games like today. We need to win them.
Those using the red card to excuse Ole have no clue.
These things happen.
Its how a manager reacts that matters.

Doesn't sound that freakish. Happened in a similar stage in the last campaign. All too regular for my liking.
What was those subs. Was he playing Darts? We were struggling to control the game and needed to hold the ball and you bring on Lingard? Could have just brought Varane in and pushed lindelof to right and brought matic in CM. Instead tried so many stupid nonsensical things when we couldn't hold a ball for 5 sec. Lets not talk even about moving the ball form back to front. He is a good man manager and has built a decent squad. He should be less sentimental with his backroom team and bring a proper assistant who can coach the team. Mckenna and Carrick won't take us far.
So basically nothing wrong with Ole?
Also, hope you do realize Klopp has won the PL and CL title with that Liverpool team. Tuchel won the CL with Chelsea last season. Tuchel then gave a masterclass in defending against a Klopp side which shows how good he is, rather than how poor Klopp is.
However I realize you are so blinded by your support for Ole that you would not see the woods for the trees. I will not engage with you any further on this.
7 losses in 11 CL games? Surely not?
