OK name someone on the bench who could have adequately replaced him?He really isn’t as good as you (others) think.

I agree. I love the fact that Ole went for it, instead of going for damage limitation. Fergie would have done the exact same. It will pay off in the long run, I think.We were brilliant. I know it sounds wierd when we got beat by PSG but game should have been wrapped up long ago. We had controll of the game all the time until red card. And even then we tried.
Even if they are (which is where I disagree with you) it would still be much better to play against much worse teams that will progress as second in their groups.Barca? They are no better than PSG who we should have beaten tonight.
Must be. Probably because he thought Matic wouldn’t have the legs to do the job in a 2.Not taking Fred off at half time shows how little Ole trusts in other options, at least defensively.
Win and we finish 2nd if PSG match our result. It will only be 2-way H2H and PSG’s is superior after that late goal.So:
Win - top the group
Draw - finish second (most likely)
Lose - Europa league
we don’t usually do ourselves any favors in these situations
Why do people keep saying we have to beat Leipzig. Draw is enough.So a draw is not enough? feck me. We've really messed this up, haven't we?
Even in the past we have had a chance to win a group and fecked it up.So:
Win - top the group
Draw - finish second (most likely)
Lose - Europa league

I have no idea how we kept Ole til nowI have no idea how Ole kept Fred on in the second...
Straight swap Please ...Can't believe last season people were genuinely arguing that Martial is better than Kane and in some fantasy world where Spurs would offer us a straight swap, they still wouldn't take it.
PSG and bayern are no where near same level. Tbh the way psg were caught on the counter again and again was amateurish. To me they are a nothing team, dependent completely on neymar and Mbappe to create something.Ah, well, f*ck this shit; we are not even among the best 16 clubs in Europe. Even if we qualified by beating friggin' Leipzig. A Top side scores its chances and doesn't concede. This 1-3 is exactly where we are against the likes of PSG or Bayern.
I don't think he should go, but I don't think he learns, either.Ole is young and learning. He'll get it right next time.
Yes it's a bullshit excuse we had 3 good midfield options and if you can't improvise a plan b with such a liability stating you in the face it just isn't good enough.Must be. Probably because he thought Matic wouldn’t have the legs to do the job in a 2. But given 3 had 5 subs, he should have brought on Matic and Donny and reverted into a diamond.
We dont have to beat Leipzig. Except for winning the group, but a draw sees us through2 Critical errors here:
- Keeping Fred on
- Going balls to the wall and losing H2H with PSG.
We now have to beat RB Leipzig which completely changes the dynamic.
I'm usually alright with Ole but this was poor from him tonight.
- Fred should have a word
- Martial should have a word
Awful performances from both.
Solskjaer should get blame for being little bit naive. I get it. But otherwise, it was propper CL performence and should have got us 3 points if Marital had shootig boots on. Or Rashford had little bit better decision making.I agree. I love the fact that Ole went for it, instead of going for damage limitation. Fergie would have done the exact same. It will pay off in the long run, I think.
If you look at the way the team worked and gave PSG a proper game... You didn't see that passion and aggression from any of our previous teams under Moyes, LvG and Mou.
Yes, Fred should have been on the bench for the second half. But Ole gambled and credit to him for daring to do so.
Ah feck.Win and we finish 2nd if PSG match our result. It will only be 2-way H2H and PSG’s is superior after that late goal.
That is delusional.Ole is young and learning. He'll get it right next time.
Looks to be the case doesn't it? I'm thinking aloud here but what exactly was McTominay's role? Couldn't he have done the defensive work, while being supported by VDB, who'd presumably replaced Fred?Not taking Fred off at half time shows how little Ole trusts in other options, at least defensively.
PSG are third and we’re top with a better GD. How do PSG win the group if they match our result? I’m a bit confusedWin and we finish 2nd if PSG match our result. It will only be 2-way H2H and PSG’s is superior after that late goal.
I introduce you to Martial FC or FC Martial whatever the feck they're called. Its a ****.Can't believe last season people were genuinely arguing that Martial is better than Kane and in some fantasy world where Spurs would offer us a straight swap, they still wouldn't take it.
Honestly, Fred on a yellow and on a borrowed time is a handicapped Fred so I dont’t agree.Because nobody on the bench could do what he did tonight. We really needed him out there.
