Ole is the answer. He's maximizing the squad that he's provided which is completely and utterly trash thanks to Moyes, Mourinho and van Gaal. He needs one transfer window to build his team. No issues with the tactics whatsoever. He's working with what he got.While I very much want United to finish in a CL position for obvious reasons, it must not be an end product.
The objective had to be to challenge for and win both the PL and CL.
And I do feel that we at least have a basis from which to move forward with.
Whether Ole is really the answer remains to be seen.
But I have mixed views as to whether he is.
In reality we still have a huge mountain to climb.
And a very long way to go on coaching, preparation, tactics and overall club strategy, including the means to deliver that strategy.
Up until I read 'no issues with tactics' I was interested....Ole is the answer.

Time for the club to back him.
If we put our eggs in the EL basket there will be A LOT of pressure on the players to win it and we have all seen they crumble when they are under a certain amount of pressure plus there`s some very good teams in the EL like Sevilla, Roma and Inter it will be two times harder to win it this time compared to 2017. Its a much safer bet with top 4 IMO at best we have a 40% chance of winning the EL unless we get top 4 first then approach it as a bonus/relaxedWe would still have the Europa to try and do it so not all would be gone. Really we have been woeful this season and so have the other 2 clubs we have been fighting with so if we didn't do it then so be it.
How the feck are our tactics naive? He's working with a squad that is utterly trash compared to our standards. Ole didn't sign a bunch of donkeys like LvG, Moyes and Mourinho did. All pathetic managers.Up until I read 'no issues with tactics' I was interested....
After I read that I gave up.
In the main, our tactics are naive at best.
Ole is very far from being a good tactician.
Full stop.
I'm not sure you realise maybe so, but your reply was nothing to do with what I wrote.If we put our eggs in the EL basket there will be A LOT of pressure on the players to win it and we have all seen they crumble when they are under a certain amount of pressure plus there`s some very good teams in the EL like Sevilla, Roma and Inter it will be two times harder to win it this time compared to 2017.

Ah come on, are we really worthy of being in the CL?Tomorrow's game is huge on so many levels I don't even know where to begin. After working their socks off to get us back into a CL qualifying position, considering where we were after 15 games or so, the players will be devastated if it all goes to pot tomorrow.
We're 14 games unbeaten in the league, imagine losing that hot streak on the final day of the season and missing out on CL football in the process.
Sure, we're worthy of the CL if we qualify by finishing in the top four. I also believe our best starting eleven can compete with the majority of teams we will face in it, too, especially with a few squad additions.Ah come on, are we worthy of being in the CL?
Even if we are tomorrow's game is not a bigger game than a CL final.
Also even if we lose tomorrow we could still qualify as Chelsea may lose or we may win the Europa.
Its an important game sure but that's it.
Maybe when you grow up, you will realise that not everyone sees things through your rose tinted glasses.How the feck are our tactics naive?

Ole is doing it the United way which is what Manchester United is supposed to be. If you can't see that you're supporting the wrong club. We're heading the right way. End.
Dude, chill.The biggest transfer target in the history of the club -- Sancho -- is watching this all play out, potentially influencing his final decision.
Yes. We dropped a big stinker this night. Outplayed by WHU after we led 2-1. Terrible days.Weren’t we in exactly the same position under LvG against West Ham. Had to beat them away to get in the Champions League. Maybe I’m remembering it wrong, but I definitely remember having zero faith in us getting a result that night.
The title of the thread is "Biggest game since the 08 CL final".Sure, we're worthy of the CL if we qualify by finishing in the top four. I also believe our best starting eleven can compete with the majority of teams we will face in it, too, especially with a few squad additions.
No one said this game was bigger than a CL final, but it's a huge game nevertheless. The biggest we've played in years given the circumstances.
Yeah but that game was their last game in Upton Park and those pricks were wound up by their rabid 'fans' that they rose their game even higher than they normally do against us.Weren’t we in exactly the same position under LvG against West Ham. Had to beat them away to get in the Champions League. Maybe I’m remembering it wrong, but I definitely remember having zero faith in us getting a result that night.
