Yes but Liverpool structure and Klopp combination led to tonight's result. We can do the same.That was Rodgers not Klopp in the Stoke result.
I don't think Ole is as good as Klopp tactically all honestly.Yes but Liverpool structure and Klopp combination led to tonight's result. We can do the same.
I don't his tactics have been bad, just he's been let down by the players, either missing chances, defensive and keeper bloopers. How can fans give the last 3 a chance and now we get someone who understands us, want to get rid without giving him a chance. Pochetino would have been more of a yes man. Ole if he is not backed will walk, that's the type of man he is. Pochetino not so much.I don't think Ole is as good as Klopp tactically all honestly.
Nope this is bullshit. The fans have a huge influence on the clubs decisions - it's the case at every club. Liverpool appointed Dalglish under similar circumstances a few years ago.I think that is unfair. Fans have no impact on the decisions of the club, and being emotional and romantic is just part of the essence of being a fan of a football club. You take that away and we have no reason to follow any of these big money clubs. If you do a cold analysis on a lot of clubs you'll mostly find a cold business, with suspect owners etc. Not something you'd normally stand behind. Romanticism is all we've got.
SAF gave his recommendation, media did their part and finally Woodward appointed Solskjaer. The only thing the fans is guilty of is being happy with the results and performances of that initial period that got him the job. Every fan of the club deserved to be happy in that period.

I supposed it can be bullshit. You may view it differently but I'm of the understanding that media influences people and not so much the other way around. That is another topic all-together but I really think that is unfair on fans. I highly doubt a fully functioning board with a plan would re-think their strategy purely because of idiotic opinions from fans. Fans are going to be fans, it is not their fault a board have no plan and are easily swayed by media agendas, popular opinion and makes decision based largely on public image. Yeah, Clubs sometimes do this, but it is because of desperation and lack of vision not because fans of these clubs are idiotic.Nope this is bullshit.

What exactly is this based on? Leaving the discussion of the theme of this thread aside, why do you say that Pochettino is a yes man, and especially why do you say that Ole will walk if he isn’t backed? How on earth do you know that’s the type of man he is?Pochetino would have been more of a yes man. Ole if he is not backed will walk, that's the type of man he is. Pochetino not so much.
Well absolutely.I supposed it can be bullshit. You may view it differently but I'm of the understanding that media influences people and not so much the other way around.

Some Liverpool fans even turned on Klopp a while back because they were just used to bad appointments and had a reaction ready when a tough period happened. Some United-fans and unbiased fans, might even have thought at the time those who did that were the sensible Liverpool fans, and the romantic ones always blindly backing the manager were the silly ones. That looks a bit different today. In the end, my point is it doesn't matter that much. It is up to the board to find the right manager and trust him, and their duty in fact to not be affected by media and fans who may base their opinion on similarities with different historic events or are just purely guessing based on emotion or a newfound perceived lack of emotion.
There is nothing to suggest he has even the faintest of clues tactically.I don't think Ole is good tactically in all honesty
Just basing it on the fact that after Pochetino not getting in even a single player he didn't kick up a fuss or walk, even after Madrid option was open at various times last year. I could be wrong and maybe he was waiting the United job. But judging him at how he was at previous clubs, I doubt you would see him complaining or leaving due to a lack of structure or backing by the glazers.What exactly is this based on?

Mourinho didnt get top 4 and wasnt sacked
If we don't know then why are we guessing.It might...
You're wrong on all counts. Obviously he wasn't "waiting for the United job". And Pochettino didn't kick up a fuss about the lack of signings in the last two windows because (a) the long-term project at Spurs is one that he signed-up for, knowing full well from Levy that the stadium costs would restrict transfer budgets; and (b) he is part of the transfer committee at Spurs that decides on who to buy or sell and what max. price to offer … and no player is bought or sold without his agreement.Just basing it on the fact that after Pochetino not getting in even a single player he didn't kick up a fuss or walk, even after Madrid option was open at various times last year.

Regarding, Ole, he loves the club and judging about the way he talks in the public and the fact that he has said he will not fail. I just have a very strong feeling that if he feels the upper management is a hindrance, he will leave.
Indeed. If Pochettino was (and I say if) our preferred option then that is who we should have moved heaven and earth to get.I see Ole as someone learning his trade. We brought him to the club as a short term sollution and to put the smiles back on the fans faces. The mistake was signing him up for the long haul, not for bringing him in as caretaker.

Like Solari did at Real Madrid and Gattuso is doing at Milan you mean? You can't give jobs on sentiment. Our football was dire with Phelan as no.2 under SAF. I clearly remember people couldn't wait to see if Moyes could bring us a better brand of football compared to the “past it” SAF.Something that Gary Neville said the other night during his rant has stuck with me.
It’s the fact that Ole, Mike Phelan and Michael Carrick have been involved with the club during some of the highest of highs and are more emotionally invested than any other manager and coaching set ups that we’ve had post Sir Alex.
Yes, Ole is inexperienced and I’m not saying he is the right man for the job right off the bat but, if we are to have a clear out and bearing in mind Phelan stays, surely we can’t question what they’d give for the club and have that as very good basis and starting point.
Considering the players likely to leave, these 3 are likely to share the armband next year.My biggest concern is that he is content with dross like Jones, Smalling, Young etc. Two of these three got extensions with Ole at helm. I have no doubt these are going to feature plenty of games next season and to be quite frank I'm baffled how he could get rid of Fellaini while at the same time think these lot are good enough for us. If he's happy to field these type of players I dread to think of what type of players he'll bring in.
I constantly see people mentioning Klopp's first season and I just can't understand what does it have to do with anything. One has pretty much built a Bundesliga winning team, playing some of the best football in Europe while another one... I am not even sure to be fair.Where did Klopp finish with Liverpool in hes first season? Get a grip people.
Looking more and more likely.Is there something to the fact that the team were playing better before Solskjear actually became more and more hands on of implementing his style on the team, he said that when he arrived as caretaker that Carrick and McKenna were the ones more hands on whilst Solskjear was settling in and we saw a dramatic dip in form when Solskjear got the job on a full time basis?
How about Appointing the manager after Ole was a big mistake! as well. Get them all done at the same time.We might as well get a
Appointing Moyes was a big mistake!
Appointing Van Gaal was a big mistake!
Appointing Mourinho was a big mistake!
thread.
Give Ole at least a decent transfer window ffs and the 19-20 chance.
He even said that the first few games the players were able to play freely as long as they work hard and press. They did that well. The longer he has stayed - the more time he had to implement his tactics and he is looking like he doesn't have the ability.Is there something to the fact that the team were playing better before Solskjear actually became more and more hands on of implementing his style on the team, he said that when he arrived as caretaker that Carrick and McKenna were the ones more hands on whilst Solskjear was settling in and we saw a dramatic dip in form when Solskjear got the job on a full time basis?
The common denominator - They were all bought Fergie. He wants to become Fergie mkIIMy biggest concern is that he is content with dross like Jones, Smalling, Young etc. Two of these three got extensions with Ole at helm.

Just about sums up our politicians.At least Ole's name was discussed in today's parliament session
Jeremy Corbyn said: ‘In view of the amazing performance of Liverpool last night, perhaps the Prime Minister could take some tips from Jurgen Klopp on how to get a good result in Europe.’
Mrs May hit back: "I actually think that when we look at the Liverpool win over Barcelona last night, what it actually shows is that when everyone says it's all over, that your European opposition has got you beat, the clock's ticking down, it's time to concede defeat - actually we can still secure success if everyone comes together."
Labour's Justin Madders joked that the PM could also get "tips from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Pep Guardiola about getting out of Europe in April".
You have forgotten Gareth Southgate - defender.He even said that the first few games the players were able to play freely as long as they work hard and press. They did that well. The longer he has stayed - the more time he had to implement his tactics and he is looking like he doesn't have the ability.
It's interesting you talk about Carrick. Just as a pure philosophical aspect of football - I think defenders and midfielders make the best managers usually due to the type of football they have had to play as well - trying to balance the attacking football game with the defensive aspect of the game as well - usually done with the cohesion of the midfield as well.
Pep-midfielder
Klopp - defender
Conte - midfielder
Zidane - midfielder
Pochettino - defender
Simeone - midfielder/defender
Allegri - midfielder
Tuchel - defender
Mourinho - midfielder
Ancelotti-midfielder
Rijkaard - Defender/ midfielder
One of the only few managerial legends I have found who was a forward is actually SAF!
Is this a coincidence? Im not sure it is. Now there is talk about Xabi Alonso looking like a great manager in the future too.
So it wouldn't surprise me if one day we see Carrick or Butt do well here maybe on an interim role of their own - atleast better than Ole.
This is such a lazy, half assed criticism. If you can be bothered to look there are plenty of articles and youtube videos dedicated to an analysis of his tactics at Molde. To distill it all down into a message board soundbite his preferred way of playing is with a high press utilizing full backs in advanced positions and fast, hard working attacking players. Very generic description but if you think that sounds a lot like the way Klopp sets out his teams you would not be far wrong. Ole also showed in the Europa League that he could adapt his tactics to play against more talented teams and still get positive results.There is nothing to suggest he has even the faintest of clues tactically.
But he will do it the United way and refer to SAF as Gaffer throughout, so we’re golden.
Brian Clough and Rinus Michels were forwards. I believe Matt Busby began his career as a forward.One of the only few managerial legends I have found who was a forward is actually SAF!
So apart from possibly the greatest manager of all time, successful managers were midfielders or defenders?He even said that the first few games the players were able to play freely as long as they work hard and press.
