He's done. No more miracle escapes or surprising wins. Luck has run out.Actually fancy him to get a result here…

"We're too close".No sane person can defend him after this tactical performance, forget the result just look at how we were set up and how we performed. We are miles and miles behind the top sides even with the top players we have.

If only he had defenders on the pitch....Ole still has his defenders, both inside and out of the boardroom, he's going nowhere! The absolute state of how this club is run is beyond pathetic.
We didn't have one touch in their box!Not a single shot on fecking target in the second half. I'm so fecking done with him. How anyone can still defend him is beyond me
He's made us a bigger laughing stock than Hodgson did Liverpool. I cant think of a more inept manager in the PLHe's a deluded, inept, cowardly incompetent manager. That's it.
And Morinho..Yeah, it has the LVG feel to it again.
I have no words. This was simply disgusting. Yet you'll still have some fecking idiots in here telling us how he has improved us. fecking clueless footballWe didn't have one touch in their box!
Which one is actually the most difficult?He's basically a truck driver trying to fly a plane
Becaue there isn't one, he'll never get any job at any PL club other than UnitedHe's made us a bigger laughing stock than Hodgson did Liverpool. I cant think of a more inept manager in the PL
At least we didn't get any hidings against the big teams under LvG. This is way worseYeah, it has the LVG feel to it again.
This has been a constant under Ole but it's generally Pogba that is on the ball.I think the one scene for me today which again showed the entire ineptness of his coaching and team setup was in the second half when McTom received the ball from Lindelöf and was surrounded by 4 sky-blue shirts, not a single red shirt in passing distance. Luckily the ref called a foul when he was dispossessed, and we got a free kick. But it showed the entire difference in how well drilled City are, who tightly-knit this group of players acts as a unit, and how our players are set up to fail by being completely without structure and a plan. There is a reason why Guardiola, Tuchel, Klopp and all those managers worth their salt actually train stuff like players keeping a specific distance to other players at all times and moving into specific zones depending on where the ball moves, because it has to become second nature to these players, so they don't have to think about what to do in these high tempo and high-pressure scenarios anymore.
If we just keep sending players out there after doing a bit of running and shooting training and then hope that our individual brilliance gets us over the hill we are bound to fail against those well drilled teams at the upper end of the player skill area and that's why so many of us say we need a progressive coach like ten Hag who can drill that sort of unity into their teams. Ole, Carrick et al. most certainly have proven after almost 3 years that they can't teach their players anything, it's also part of the reason why most players who looked great at other clubs come to us and look useless and why we almost never improve any player.
That being said, of course now Conte is gone we have no realistic option to obtain on short notice, Zidane unfortunately also doesn't strike me as someone who doesn't set a lot of faith into individual brilliance instead of a well drilled unit, so I'm very unsure if he would be a solution to our problems and with the managers who might actually be, they will most likely not leave mid-season.
Bruno just said after being asked about the performance:I have no words. This was simply disgusting. Yet you'll still have some fecking idiots in here telling us how he has improved us. fecking clueless football
I agree. Such a travesty we've become. Solskjaer surely knows it himself. How further down do we have to go under this guy before the board react? I'm not holding my breath for good newsBecaue there isn't one, he'll never get any job at any PL club other than United
