It's bizarre. They forget in their mind we should be getting battered by such a manager because apparently he'd be doing everything Solskjaer isn't.

Even Sheffield United have more wins against the top 6 than us.
Were people genuinely expecting us to dominate Chelsea, at Stamford Bridge? You guys crack me up.
No, his job is to win, not to park the bus and be praised for dull results.
Same like is a win against mighty Newcastle a reason to talk how we are playing great attacking football, best since SAF.
Both "sides" here overreact, without a question.

Our performance was nothing like Jose’s in these types of matches. In his interview at the end Tuchel spoke about having to adjust because Maguire and Lindelof were playing such a high line and we were pressing them, people don’t actually think that was akin to a Jose performance do they?
Yes, yes they do, apparently we played a back 6.
I've said before that I'm not convinced long term on Ole but I do think this one was more down to players than him. McT should be able to find a better ball in on that counter, plus a pen and then you probably say that vindicates the strategy. Likewise he can't do much about Bruno/Rashford not being at their best today.
I get why he left Rashford on, as frustrating as I find him given no one is on form in attack he's the most likely to get a goal from nothing. Only point is whether McT could have come off for VDB but then he's not exactly in form either (although don't think he's had much chance).

Is not about the players, its about the approach. Unless you think we don't have the quality to score a single goal against the top 6 all seasons.

we are the second best team in the league this year. Ole is currently the best manager in the league apart from Pep Guardiola. That’s factually based and he’s made us better. You point that out and knobs like you kick off.
Surely Tuchel should have wiped the floor with Ole with patterns of play?
Think it is the disappointment of that non-penalty. If we had scored that, then Chelsea would have had to go for it and could left themselves vulnerable. We had chances, but quite often the final ball lets us down. Ole seems to know that. It will then be down to him to put it right in the summer.
We are 12 points better off after 26 games than last season. Let’s not forget how much money Chelsea spent in the summer, £222million and if I’m not wrong we spent £82 million, if memory serves me right then it be was a point between us last season.
The thing is we weren’t very good today, but making things up like that makes it seem like people have an agenda.
we scored three against a team who are top six in the league literally three games ago and scored two against the third place team a month ago.
Agreed, there was a lot wrong with today, namely being how our attack didn't click but outright lying is really frustrating.
Arsenal top 6? 
You know what everyone means by top 6, don't play the smart guy card here.
The approach of the opposition in these games has been to play very defensive against us compared to their usual game. It's hard to break down. They play that way because they fear us.
Sure he is. We must offer him new contract this week. Big clubs will come knocking soon.
Spot onThese are moral trophies.
We have lost 5 points against the two teams at the bottom of the league and 2 points against Everton when we were leading 2-0 at half time. Get these 7 points and we would be 5 points away from first spot and a possibility of title challenge would still be on.
It's our responsibility that the gap reached 12 points. We aren't at 12 points gap just because City won 14 games in a row. We're where we're because we fecked up in very easy games. We have ourselves to blame.
United has a good enough squad and team to challenge for the league and we were showing that till we fecked up once we actually found ourselves leading the league.
I love that some of our fans didnt see best of the rest as our maximum for the league this year post summer transfer window and then cry about us ‘losing ground in the title race’ as if we were ever in it
A draw at SB is always a good result. Hell, I'd say we played pretty well, and tried more to win the game than they did. Our CBs were quite often in Chelsea's half and if the game would have gone on, I'd have put money on us winning the game
The issue is that people aren't looking at the result in isolation Bob.
In isolation it's a very decent point.
Haha what?
Hopefully we are preparing a huge contract to blind him, top clubs are definitely coming for him in the summer.
Do you think the opposition have gone all out to try beat us?
After all they all have brilliant managers with great patterns of play.
Why's no one talking about our run of 20 away games unbeaten?
Wrong crowd in here.
I actually went back and checked, page 1273 onward. I wont bother quoting anyone, but people were moaning then as well and no one called it a masterclass
Do you seriously think its because they fear us?
We've blitzed teams that open themselves up too much and all the teams are aware of it, but our group of moaning fans funnily enough aren't.
We expect the manager to be more reactive and try to win the game because they were there for the taking
Made his first and only sub in minute 78 or something, takes off our only goal threath
How could Scott McT and Dan James play the full game ? James probably lost the ball more times than he completed passes
He‘s a clueless tactician
The big teams aren't leaving us spaces to counter attack anymore while our possession play - especially when building from the back - isn't great. I don't expect our 'top 6' record to change anytime soon unless we materially improve at holding and moving the ball to create our own openings or our opponents start playing how we want them to play again.
Not holding my breath ngl.

I don't know, just trying to make sense of it. They can't score against us. Why don't they go all out for the win if its so easy against our useless manager?
Perhaps they don't want to leave space where our strength lies?
Who would you have fetched on? Martial came on, our only other senior attacker, he left Van De Beek who he doesn’t seem to rate, and a teenager on the bench. If we had Pogba and Cavani sat there people might agree, we didn’t though.
People jump in this thread and complaint about the "moaners" as if United fans shouldn't want or expect to win
Useless manager? I said defensive. They can't score because we have defended well at the expense of sacrificing almost all our attack.
I bet there are similar posts on Chelsea forums complaining that Tuchel was too defensive.
The difference being this is not a critique for this game only, it's being all season. We've played for the draw against every team from the top 6 since the Spurs spank.
I genuinely think Ole is scared that we might lose the same way we did against Spurs so he rather go out and settle for the 0-0.
