And how many points did Leicester pick up for being the superior team? The performances against the big teams shows me that we're on the right track. Ya we're having a tough time beating the low block but we've no creative midfielders and that's not going to change until a transfer window, regardless of who is in charge. There are plenty of negatives so far but a lot that I think are out of Ole's control. I can't see what changing the manager is going to do.
Would you sack or keep Ole? (Poll reopened)

There were quite a few posters that thought it was clever to point out that Ole has had a similar start to his managerial carreer here as Klopp had a Pool. Probably in a desperate attempt to make anyone believe he would turn out the same.
This doesn't speak for him does it.
That's my point though, it shouldn't be. We have a much better squad and should be above them by a clear distance but we're scrapping away with the likes of Brighton, Bournemouth and Sheffield United.
This is unacceptable no matter how you spin it. We're closer to the relegation zone than we are to top four.
Well being the superior team due to having superior manager didn’t get them the 3 points on that day, but currently they are in a better position in the league then we are. So as you see over the season it’s more beneficial.
Just like to add. Leicester sold their best CB for £80m and didn’t sign a replacement for him. Think about that, Rodgers replaced an £80m international CB with a player who was already at the club and only made 6 starts last season.
Ole is out of his depth,his heart is red but the brain isn't there.....sorry Ole you will always be a legend just not as a manager.
But but Klopp finished 8th in his 1st season so Ole needs 3 years
Yeah, hence my example of LVG and the league table after 11 games, and he had a much better squad of players. If the table looks like that into the January window then it becomes a concern.
The people on the keep side must be of the believe when ole gets better players there is going to be improvement because he has already shown it's not going to be his work on the training ground.
I believe if ole was given 5 quality players next summer he would still struggle to get into the top four. There isn't another premier league club that would want him as their manager. His only chance should have been caretaker manager for us and it shouldn't have went any further than that.

'Klopp was given time - so Ole deserves the same time'
'It took Klopp ages to get Liverpool a coherent unit'
Etc, etc from the 'Ole's at the Wheel' cult.
This is including his Cardiff games though, isn't it?
It is. Hes only managed 32 PL games as United manager
Not sure why you keep bringing up LVG who was ultimately a failure here. This form has been going on for about 20 games, it's not a recent thing. We can wait until January and I hope despite all logic you are right and we're in a much better position.
How can you even want to keep him at this point? Completely laughable how stupid some of our fans are.
Is anyone tracking this poll week to week, or month to month?
I'm still Ole in but why the hell did he change the formation today after 3-5-2 worked so well I will never know .
Always annoys me when someone will spend 30 mins or so (at a guess) cutting out managers from pictures, creating a background and other editing, but can't take a couple of seconds (literally) to google how to spell 'Jurgen' correctly, even if it's without the umlaut.
I want to assume the bulk of that 47% are opposition fans who of course want us to keep him! They know we are never going to be a threat with him in charge.47% want to keep this guy. unbelievable
Dear Lord! What has Solskjaer given some of our fans to drink? The man cud well push us towards the brink of relegation and be so terrible and yet you are seeing slow steps in the right direction? Absolutely baffling!
He would have been sacked at any other top club(if they were foolish enough to give him the job).
I don't know how some could still want him to continue.
Top 4 is already likely out of reach.

Just delusion from some of our fans. Embarrassing.
So many knee-jerkers. Lose or draw one game and it's the end of the world again. SAF would have been sacked in his 3rd year or earlier if the internet had been around back then.
Times are different now. Using something from 30 years ago as a comparison isn't just ridiculous it's beyond stupid.
Because he had a better team, got off to a poor start and eventually managed 4th.
The stuff you are bring up from last season was from another managers players. I don't see how you can judge a manager properly unless they have had sufficient time to dispose of players they do not want and have brought in their own.
I am not convinced Ole is the long term option, but I do believe he is the most important manager since Fergie in terms of reshaping the sqaud and leaving it in a better shape than what he inherited.
Not really. That's just your bs response to justify your position of 'the grass is always greener'
I voted sack a while ago, never wanted him in the first place and always said we should have waited until the end of the season. Our issues go way beyond him though, I’m not sure sacking him now would accomplish much unless we have a appropriate replacement lined up. Also our issues go way deeper than him.
No sir. The manager is our biggest weakness. This squad is way better than the coaching system. Are you saying that our midfield is worse than those of the teams we have been garbage against? I am not buying that
The fact we had Fergie for so long has blinded fans to the realities of football management.
Clubs routinely sack poor managers and find a better alternative. Why persist with what you know is garbage just because you're scared that your next find will be garbage too? By that logic no one would ever succeed at anything.
If you stopped trying to walk every time you fell over as a baby where would you be? The Ole in guys defy logic and past examples. If Ole did manage to magically turn it around he'd still be a huge anomaly. Sadly he's shown his level and we need to cut our losses.

It’s not like it’s super early, it’s almost a third of season and we haven’t had a particularly tough set of fixtures (haven’t played Spurs or City yet, played Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool at home) yet we are on track for 45 points for the season. What’s crazy is that even if we won all our remaining games, it would likely still not be enough to get us into title race.
Stupid yanks - it's gar-bage! Sack him
Did SAF have the 4th most expensive squad in the world too??
There were many people wanting Fergie to retire whenever the subject came up. I remember in 2002 there were fans hoping he would go through with his retirement so we could get LVG and bring in Kluivert
The results this season are no better and the football is still shite despite Ole having brought in his own players. Maybe it will all just click and we'll start looking like a well coached team and move up the table under a manager with no proven ability to manage at this level. Hope is a wonderful thing.
Yep it's today's game only that's is the problem. Give him 5 years and he will turn to the new Fergie.
What would have to happen for you to approve the club removing him in your opinion?
I don't understand why people say this when you have things happening like Leicester managing to win the league with Drinkwater & Albrighton in midfield
Relegation to Football League 1, but only AFTER minimum of 8 transfer windows.
opposition fans should not have the possibility to vote. Why the feck do we have opposition fans anyway?
It's the basis of all the people that are saying sack him and thinking things will definitely improve
same old shit today...time to go
