What can you really say? The guy is making me enjoy football again. I can ask for no more than that from him. 8 wins in a row is just the spectacular icing on the cake.
Atleast two goals or more for each match if I am not wrong. The past few weeks have been a great cleansing from the rubbish that's been going on.

And every match we go out aiming to play positive football and take the game to the opposition, not focusing on not losing as our primary objective.

Would love him over 'I'm too good to win anything other than CL or league' Pochettino.

Also this was exactly like watching us against Arsenal under SAF except our worse defense gave up more chances than usual.

I'm already convinced. But for the sake of being thorough, we should wait till end of season.

He's a United man through and through. It'll be ridiculous to throw him out to bring another experience that might fail while we have a winner now.

Give him the job already and focus on getting a DOF.

I mean this is seriously impressive

Even when we inevitably lose a game, I'd back us to win the next few after

Red Card for Casemiro!
I loved the way he set us up today, he knows his tactics, this man. Lukaku on the right was perfect for counters. Our pressing was not blind, we were clearly coordinated, sudden and incisive with swarm of players closing down the Arsenal player with the ball. Our defending seemed better, too, I don't know how. Pogba was set up the best way you can set him up - he was doing his bit in pressing and defending, but he was also the first out of the traps on the counters with options charging down both the flanks. Could have scored more, honestly, if we had started with Rashford instead of Lukaku.

I'm getting convinced he's the real deal, Ole. That's 2 big teams we've faced and dispatched.

Would absolutely love it if we could get a result against PSG.

People should see what he has done till now and do not speculate based on nothing. Yes, he has been amazing yet! I really like to see him on our side for a long time, I do not want to be a dreamer but why not?

Agree, he's much more tactically astute than I gave him credit for.

I actually think bringing Rashford and Martial on was a masterstroke. Whether we were behind or in front, they are perfect to bring on against a tiring defence.

I can't remember why I joined this war.
Common give him the contract. Nothing guarantees us that hiring Pochettino would be success, we tried to buy success with Mou and he failed miserably let alone the fact that so far I'm not even certain he would join us over Tottenham at the moment.

With Ole I have a good feeling. My only fear was that he would be too naive and get ripped to shreds against the other big team but so far that hasn't happened and while we certainly need to do something about our fitness I have a good feeling about all of this, not only because he is one of my old favorites.

This simply feels right, the team enjoys itself and plays some good football again, we don't play the big teams of the pitch but than which other big team does, apart from maybe City and Liverpool at times, these are tough games. With him we already know what to expect, with Poch we don't, that he has done good work at Tottenham doesn't mean he will be 100% able to do it here as well.

I say give Ole this chance, him and his team are doing great work so far give them the backing to do it for a couple more seasons as well.

Look at that! We haven't come close to that kind of run of form for years, not since Fergie. We never looked like a team capable of winning eight games on the bounce under Moyes, LVG and Jose. And we're doing it playing the United way. Love it :drool:

Looking past the way he sets the team up at the start, which I wholeheartedly support, Ole has shown excellent in game management as well. Thus far he’s been reading games superbly and his changes have been spot on.

Solskjaer’s Manchester United is a very lovely thing. Hope he continues to do well and eventually gets the job

Our tactics for the big games are spot on again. No more hoofball, no more parking bus after taking lead. Attacking subs to kill the game and encourage team to push forward instead of retreat. So refreshing and satisfying.

If United win the CL and FA Cup double this season I'll get a Paul Ince tattoo and I've no tattoos.

I wonder what would have happened if Shaqiri didn't score the 3rd goal and Liverpool kept it at a respectable 2-1.
