I will back ogs as much as possible and will never want him fired but I can see easily that he is sometimes inept tactically, out thought by other managers, has ignored the midfield problem and has at least had a say in keeping Deadwood at the club.
Posts like this are part of the problem.
Do you even know what 'inept' means? Or are you just using it in a context you've seen and heard it used elsewhere and thinks it enhances the standard of a point because it sounds clever?
There are plenty of games where Ole's tactics have been well worked. I'm not going to break it all down, if you can't remember or whatever then just look at some tactical analysis on YouTube or something. Some of the systems he's implemented against the likes of Tuchel, Klopp, Mourinho and Guardiola as well as multiple formation systems are there, you don't really see it broken down on sky etc because they are actually really poor at analysing games. They are watered down and they tend to just point out the obvious. They rarely break down the off the ball pressing system etc but other people do, so go and check it out.
Every manager gets things wrong. Guardiola is frequently hailed as the top manager in the world right now and he ballsed the CL final up, as well as getting outdone by Solskjaer and other managers, it happens. Fergie got done over many times. Tuchel came unstuck against Solskjaer including with a PSG team with Mbappe and Neymar whilst we had a 17 year old Greenwood, Chong and Brandon Williams.
Off the top of my head, go and check out the game we ended City's 21 or whatever game it was unbeaten run. There are plenty of games out there which will breakdown Ole's tactics.
To say inept just tells me you don't know what words you're using and you're likely repeating a narrative you've read and heard so much you've assumed it's true because you don't know better. Just be honest and say "when I watch football I don't notice all of the tactical nuances". There's nothing wrong with that, most people don't. If you watch any fan analysis post game, it almost never goes into any sort of depth.
Personally I'm guilty of ball watching in a live game. It's why I watch the games back because I can watch for things rather than be focused on what might come next. I also tend to try and watch a few breakdowns outside of sky or wherever because they are generally better at analysis than I am.
I'm not even going to bother with the other points, he obviously hasn't just ignored the midfield problem, he's had certain limitations to work within and there's at leat a degree of sometimes having to pick one thing or another when you want to do both. In 2 and a half years he's achieved a fairly remarkable turn around in terms of the squad. It won't happen over night but we've gone from starting the likes of Lingard, Pereira, Williams, Smalling and Jones to Varane, Bruno, Sancho, Maguire and Cavani. If you expect a turn over of an entire squad in less time then that's your own expectations. I'd imagine we would have wanted one or two more moved on but you can't sell players if you don't have a buyer.
Who is all this dead wood? I imagine you're referring to Mata, Jones and Matic? Maybe Lingard? In a squad of 25 players that's hardly a pressing issue, is clearly a large turn around. In case you've forgotten, the likes of Young, Fellaini, Smalling, Darmian, Rojo, Sanchez, Valencia and Pereira have all been moved on since he took over as well as a host of other players.
I'm not saying he's the best manager in the league but your post is lazy and sounds like someone who gets their opinion more from what they see and hear than from objectively looking at the situation and trying to offer a rounded and fair reflection.
