    they are also the ones saying he was good tonight! he's a clown. I said it weeks ago but I won't mis him if he wants to leave. Sorry but his behaviour in the Jose business was unacceptable. You have to be as good as Keane to get away with that

    Can't call people clowns and then make a post like that.

    Best thing for Ole and United to do is just take this result on the chin and learn from it.Focus on why it went wrong, because that's all they can do.
    SAF said you shouldn't feel sorry for yourselves after a poor result.Now is the time to show character.
    Ole was going to taste defeat sooner or later,especially with the big fixtures pilling up. Anyone thinking we would cruise through those games like we have done against the likes of Cardiff and Fulham are in for a healthy dose of reality of our situation.

    but the real worry was the performance. we were very very poor

    Just like he had no choice with their player who scored the first goal.
    So much for a home referee.

    Kimpempe was lucky. But Young was too, arguably more so.

    No point trying to blame the ref for this. We're a work in progress. PSG are excellent. It happens.

    Exactly. Really we have to see how we bounce back from this against Chelsea next Monday

    This is probably the best result from that point of view. A huge wake up call and he and the coaches have to learn from this

    certainly the calm way to look it and i agree.

    yet in a perfect world i don't think Young's is really worth a second yellow, it just looks shocking, but that exact coming together happens all over the pitch throughout a game. Whereas Kimpembe's collection for me earns him another yellow in open play much more often than not.
     
    I wouldn't take too much from this. They had better players, were more fortunate and had a generous referee.

    Let's not suddenly decide we're awful just because we lost to one of the best teams in Europe.

    I love Ole. I just don’t think he’s at the level we need right now.

    Appointing Solskjaer will be the biggest risk for the Glazers since they took over (all managers post SAF have been either PL or European proven).

    What Moyes? What did he prove? That he knew where Europe was?

    Oh sure you can have your opinion. But in my opinion, your opinion is stupid. How can you actually blame Shaw for Pogba getting a card he shouldn't have got in the first place? If anyone is to blame there it's either the ref for not seeing there wasn't anything malicious in that or Pogba for raising his leg high / not seeing Alves coming. All Shaw did was play a pass a bit too short.

    Meaning what should have been a routine pass left Pogba having to over extend and compromise himself to retain possession at a vital point in the game. It's a schoolboy level pass and he cocked it up.

    I've got no explanation. The game hasn't been nasty at all really and look how many yellows the ref's gave out. I thought Cakir was bad but this ref is even worse. :mad:

    One would hope that upgrading the quality of players allows you to at least get closer to a 50/50 shot at being victorious give or take lady luck. Unfortunately with English clubs in Europe it seems you need to have vastly superior players to overcome the distinct change in refereeing.
     
    While tonight's result is disappointing using it as a yardstick of Ole's managerial suitability for the job full time would be ridiculous. Domestically Ole has done fantastically well endeavouring to use his inherited resources to the best of his ability. PSG like United are one of the superpowers of club football in Europe. As such Ole now knows where he stands in terms of the ability of his best 11 v's a top team in Europe. There is no easy way to gauge this. Bear in mind that PSG were missing Neymar and Cavani two of the finest forwards in Europe. United were outclassed and remain defensively porous against quality opposition.
    If Ole does get the job full-time then this may be a match where he identifies areas of the team that need strengthening to have United competing at the level it expects to. I think it he makes top 4 he deserves a crack at the job. People need to be realistic. He has inherited a squad cobbled together by 4 different managers at vast expense.
    I think being brutally realistic only Pogba, Martial, Rashford, and De Gea and possibly Lindelof will be good enough to occupy a first 11 good enough to win the league or for building a team around long term.

    Problem was it wasn't anywhere on the pitch. The ball was out of play the player was heading out over the line. It was a pretty cnutish thing to do in all honesty and could have hurt him badly. (not saying I didn't partly enjoy it) I 100% thought he would be gone after it.

    Kimpempe did nothing to Rashford but really should have been gone for the tackle on Shaw when the ref bottled it and called it a dive. Shame Shaw didn't just take the contact instead of avoiding it. I hate this idea in football that if a player jumps out of the way of a bad challenge that refs don't give fouls. It's idiotic.

    It wasn't a schoolboy level pass, you can't play that pass too fast or nobody will control it. Has to be just right and it wasn't. Pogba didn't have to do anything though. If he'd had better awareness he would have seen Alves. Anyhow he just tried to shield the ball, no way did that warrant a card. Ref bottled it there.

    Yeah, feck DT. I don’t really want to blame the ref because our performance was dire (they were just better) but those big decisions change matches. We didn’t deserve to win but playing against 10 men for 35-40 minutes - the game would have been completely different.
    Click to expand...
    Yes. If the ref had done his job properly it may have changed things, but they showed they are a good side. Don't know what we should do in that second leg.

    Me too. Leave your leg in to ensure contact > foul > sending off > upper hand for your team...all balanced with the risk of a leg break!

    I think it definitely hurt him:lol: Not going to lie, I would be nursing myself after a contact like that. Such a shame he gets to have the last laugh tonight. (Hopefully we can do a Barca and send them crying...although a man can dream)

    The thing is by fairplay standards it was a cnutish thing as you say, but in that situation I think almost every player takes the 'get away with it' foul as the positioning was too good to ignore. I think Young was lucky it didn't look even worse. (Can you imagine Di Maria playing weekend league football?!)

    Deep breath and on we go. Challenge for Ole to stay classy, to pick up the side, and to prove to the board one way or another which players are and are definitely not good enough to pick up the mantle, if the mantle is to be shaped according to Ole's vision.
     
    Interesting to hear Schmiecel about De Gea. Critical of him never leaving his line and not commanding box to take pressure off defenders.

    It's one of those things that makes me assume 90% of people in football are kind of thick. Avoid a lunge and get done for diving. As if having to dive out of the way doesn't disadvantage a player. Yet nobody even questions it???

    Agreed on Ole. We definitely need to buy a few and move a few on. I would assume tonight has made this crystal clear to Ole and the board. With our team and the injuries I'm not going to attack Ole. I think we need to just give him the job and back him fully in the summer.

    Yep.

    He assisted both goals tonight. He's been terrific, but then he is a top class player. I saw what did for us, when he first arrived (at MUFC). He was electric, before LVG's ultra defensive brand of football, killed him.
    He lacks guts...but he is super talented.

    You can’t compare a ref bottling a second yellow (twice) to Young nudging Di Maria...I’ve seen players barged down that slope shit loads of times over the years. Phil Jones loves a tumble into the advertising hoardings!
     
    We need to spend a fortune to get anywhere near good enough to play these sort of teams, not renew everyone who is average at best contracts. This could dent our confidence now. The next 2 games are massive. The away game in paris may be a slaughter as well

    I agree. Barring an absolute trainwreck in the coming fixtures I would happily take a medium term outlook and go with Ole.

    A few 4th/3rd place finishes under him sit better with me than the hope of a comfortable 3rd/distant 2nd under the more experienced Poch. If possible let's keep it in the family and ensure the roots of the club grow on.

    This being said though all rests upon the remainder of the season. No decision should be made early. Keep everyone hungry, allow evidence to come forth, and make the right decision.

    I'd forgot about the Shaw tackle. Thought Rashford dived but he should have definitely been booked for the Shaw tackle. Pathetic from the ref. I didn't want to give it so pretended it was a dive.

    Young (as much as I enjoyed it) was cnutish and got away with it. The ball was gone, the player was already gone over the line. It was dangerous. As much as I enjoyed ADM getting a clatter off the boards there's no point in pretending he wasn't lucky. If one of their players had done that on a yellow the caf would have exploded.

    I don't see why we couldn't challenge with a couple of good signings. Oleball will beat most teams in the PL.
