Excellent use of white textPSG will be the real test
lol
The media is in love with Ole, they are going to give him a manager of the month, it's not always about winning every game.Also thought that he'd have a really good chance of winning manager of the month again, but then I saw City's results in February and yeah Pep's definitely winning it
FfsThey are underage you monster.
He'd probably have us 9th with a negative GD, complaining about how shit his defenders are and claiming it's impossible to do better with the players at his disposal. One of Martial and Pogba would probably have been offloaded in January as well, the other one likely to go in the summer.Such a breath of fresh air. A certain someone would be full on whinge mode.Tweet

Nah, Jose always made a point of concentrating on who was fit. It's the one aspect of his management that I was impressed with. But he was always criticizing the press for always talking about who wasn't playing so maybe it was out of spite.Such a breath of fresh air. A certain someone would be full on whinge mode.Tweet

Sure thing, but City beat Arsenal 3-1, Everton away 2-0, West Ham 1-0 and Chelsea 6-0. I just can't see him not winning it based on those fixtures and results!The media is in love with Ole, they are going to give him a manager of the month, it's not always about winning every game.
Drop the Banhammer! (that sounds like a nice new nickname if mods would grant me one)
Next level tactically by doing what? Pressing high up the pitch?Any time anyone raises issues with a particular manager, it's negative or awful for a certain kind of fan. Of course he should be next manager. The question is can he go up to the next level tactically.
Indeed! We have yet to see how he will perform on an intergalactic level. Got a feeling we would be schooled by DeathStar Galacticos. We need a manager who is blessed with the force..someone like Master Ince maybe?Guys, it's only Palace. The real test is still somewhere out there. I don't know where, but it must be.
Overturn a 2-0 against PSG with about six players injured and Pogba suspended then you’d be convinced. Erm ok.I'd only be convinced by him if he overturns our 0-2 deficit and beat PSG away. He is just a good interim manager and I don't think the job should be given to him permanently. Go all out for Poch.
As silly as that remark was, it might end up becoming legendarily foolish and Solskjaer's 'You cannot win the league with kids' moment.8 away victories, 12 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat?
Pih, I could do that with my left leg.
cpme on, I was having a great day8 away victories, 12 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat?

By doing something new. I'm all for returning to club tradition and ditching the awful post SAF football. But that on its own won't be enough to win the big prizes and we all know it. Ole will have to add something special to beat Klopp and Pep, or get to the last eight in Europe, and I look forward to seeing what it might be.Next level tactically by doing what?

We're currently leading the Clausura...dont see why we can't do it for a full season.Having changed my vote to Ole, it's worth considering the downside of appointing him.
For me, he's playing football the United way. My only fear is that it might be an outmoded tactic. The previous two managers failed because they tried to change tactics and couldn't make it work. Ole is largely working because he's gone back to SAF basics. But the two outstanding teams in the league play with a high press. Are we really likely to do better than them over the course of a season with a counter-attacking formation. Or is it the kind of strategy that will give us top four but not silverware?
I think we need to add another level of tactical sophistication to our play. Not sure who in the current coaching team has that kind of bandwidth.
I think we could be in a really good position with that in mind with no major tournament this summer-chance for a fall pre-season with the squad, recharge the batteries and then really work on conditioning.To be fair his first couple games a high press is exactly what he implemented in the team. I think he just recognized that not all our players can play that system, and they definitely aren’t conditioned to it after 2.5 years of Mourinho’s tactics, which are the polar opposite of a high pressing team. I’m pretty sure if he gets the job, we will emerge next season as a very aggressive, high pressing team.
Sure he'll come up with something. But lets get him the best possible players first, you know just in case.By doing something new.

Actually, he has been beating them since he took over. Whatever he is doing is working.By doing something new. I'm all for returning to club tradition and ditching the awful post SAF football.

Ole has that "something" about him though and I don't think it's just him having been around Fergie. The players clearly love him, as do the coaching staff. When Garner was about to come on, Carrick had a grin like a Cheshire cat on his mush. Haven't seen him like that for quite a while. Phelan bounces around while Ole sits there watching things unfold.Just occurred to me that the silliness of that comment from Ince also reflects the silliness of the previous "give Giggs the job because he learned from SAF" arguments people put forward on here. No, just having been around SAF (as countless failed managers were as players) doesn't mean you're a good choice to be manager and yes, learning your trade at a lower level (as Solskjaer has over several years) can help even at a club like Manchester United.
I'm not sure what else he can do, to be honest. We scored one less than Liverpool and conceded the least in the premier league since Ole took over. Not only that, but we've just won 8 consecutive away games, which is a club record. So wanting Ole to beat Klopp and Pep to make your mind up, whilst already achieving the results that we've seen is a bit bizarre to me. Surely what we have seen is enough, seeing as we're currently in title winning form?By doing something new. I'm all for returning to club tradition and ditching the awful post SAF football.

Don't forget subbing Bailly in and pushing Young forward, which resulted in Zaha taken out of the game and Young getting a goal.Great tactical choices this game. Flawlessly good. Needed to stop Palace from counter attacking so we defended deep. They almost only score goals from counter attacks, so good move but the way he let us attack as well in periods is amazing. Doesn't strangle them but awards them. You done your job defensively? Then run forward now! Love it
That was a master stroke. Ole straight Bob Ross'in it.Don't forget subbing Bailly in and pushing Young forward, which resulted in Zaha taken out of the game and Young getting a goal.
Probably very proud and happy to receive the 8m EUR for him. Here in the Nordics, we are used to have players/managers move onto greater things, and this is Manchester United. He will be an even bigger legend back home now!Wonder how the poor Molde fans are feeling now? They know he's not coming back
mate we are ahead of Klopp and Pep since Ole arrive. same goals and less conceded. he doesn't need to add anything except 3/4 players and full pre season to work on fitness.By doing something new.

End him
