There were lots of positives tonight

[esmufc07]

Devastating result and I’m angry but a lot to take from tonight.

1 With the Telles sub, Solskjaer showed he’s not afraid to make big tactical decisions early in the game.

 

[bsCallout]

You troll

 

[Nick7]

You got me

 

[hobbers]

2 Pogba added a few million to his price tag.

Out of the CL early means the club is hit financially which usually leads to being closer to some action from the owners. Ole is obviously not much more than a motivator, and in modern football, you need good coaching as well.

 

[esmufc07]

We were a leg away from coming from 3 goals down in a CL game. Had that gone in then tonight goes alongside the comeback v Juventus in 99.

Hate to break it to you but we won 7-3 on aggregate. Amazing really when you look at the bigger picture.

What the feck was the sense in subbing Telles, leaving Shaw on and then subbing Shaw off for Williams? Why bring Fosu Mensah on when we're chasing goals?

 

[Berbaclass]

He really did use those subs. All five!

If only we'd had more defenders to bring on. Fecking Woodwards fault!

 

[dove]

Future is bright.

 

[stubie]

Solskjaer aside there are players in that team who are mentally weak! Shit scared of taking that next step!

 

[Cassidy]

Haha

Confusion tactics. The most recent evolution of tactics developed by Ole.

 

[bond19821982]

We won head to head against both PSG and RBL. Progress!!

That change was about 25 minutes too late.

3 subs wasted on defenders. You couldn’t make that up.

 

[U99ted]

We only lost because De Gea thought Red Bulls were charging at him.

Haha that’s a really good one, a play on words, word play. Very clever indeed.

Ty?

Biggest positive in my opinion is that Ole will have learnt a lot from that to take in to next season

It’s a really good point to be honest. Through the 90s Fergie had some torrid losses against some really average sides and it culminated in ‘99.

 

[lsd]

Well after twenty minutes i turned it off and watched the finale of the Prodigal Son which was amazing so a big positive for me

 

[horsechoker]

We scored 2 goals away from home

No we didn't.

 

[Regulus Arcturus Black]

Yeah, like he learnt from that clusterfeck first 20 minutes in Paris 2019 after starting with 5 at the back and 2 DM’s.

The lesson he obviously took from that was, starrting utterly awful in an unfamiliar system for the players and getting utterly embarrassed, is a sneaky way of fooling the other team into thinking they are playing a pub team and taking their foot off the gas.

You can’t blame Ole, he was just a goal away from his genius plan working again.

Turned off after 20 minutes, and thinks that's something to brag about.

Some 'supporters' get the results that they deserve.

Out of the CL early means the club is hit financially which usually leads to being closer to some action from the owners. Ole is obviously not much more than a motivator, and in modern football, you need good coaching as well.

With him being a motivator, it would be nice if he could motivate the team to actually start playing football once the ref starts the game, and not after 20 minutes when we've already conceded a goal or two.

A lot of supporters were calling for 5 at the back tonight. I personally thought that was a mistake, but it worked a charm in Paris. We looked incredibly solid there. Theres no logical reason why we shouldn't have been equally solid tonight.

I think what we should take from tonight is that it doesn't matter so much what formation you play as it does that your players are mentally switched on, and once again we were caught cold tonight.

 

[acrebo]

Totally agree. The experience he’s picked up will be invaluable at his new club.

You would get more motivation from Derrick Evans

Reminded me of when we were chasing the equaliser against Seville and he brought on TFM and James. To end the match tonight with three of the back four as TFM, Tuanzebe and Williams is crazy.

 

[Idxomer]

VDB was the wrong sub too.

That was masterclass, especially considering Shaw was also on yellow. Can't wait to see the next one in the coming games.

 

[Teja]

Showed great fighting spirit, the players still care and are fighting for Ole even if you lot have given up. Some stupid defensive mistakes and questionable subs cost us the game - tactics were spot on and we were the better side both home and away both against RBL and PSG.

Pretty sure Ole's going nowhere.

Or taking Cavani off and bringing Ighalo for AWB 10 minutes later against PSG.

 

[United492]

have a word with yourself

 

[eire-red]

Or taking Cavani off and bringing Ighalo for AWB 10 minutes later against PSG.

Did that happen too? Maybe that screen isn't for watching the match, and has been a random substitute simulator all along. Only thing that explains it really.

 

[Red00012]

False Positive - our best player tonight doesn’t want to be at the club

 

[hubbuh]

Thought we got Telles 'cos he's a fecking dynamo at set pieces. If you're chasing a game against a team defending for their lives someone that can cross a ball might be useful! Baffling.
