I suppose he deserves one more season, but I don't think he's getting us much further than this.

Pathetic. It was obvious he needed to sub Rashford early (or not even start him). It was obvious he needed to sub De Gea for the penalties. It was obvious he should’ve kept Greenwood on.
Too much politics and favouring certain players without any reason. Not enough reacting to what’s actually happening on the pitch. Not the first time.

In this case, it was necessary almost, De Gea is bad at penalties, everyone knows this.That practically never happens. Just because Van Gaal did it and succeeded at it once doesn't mean it's standard practice
No one is expecting Ole to win trophies now.
I rated him as a manager, but not as a coach. I believe the whole coaching staff should be sacked and we need more progressive approach than centre backs as our playmakers.
I don't rate him as a manager anymore.

It can't be kneejerk if it keeps happening can it? Isn't that against the definition of kneejerk?
Mourinho will be smirking
Tonight swayed me back to thinking he’s not the guy.
You a real fan celebrating a loss?
He simply not made out for top class clubs, fighting for a top four finish and a decent cup run with some individual brilliance to bail him out he is your man though.
Conte and his wig are available. Say thanks to Ole and get the hair piece in.
Shame on him. That was such a gutless performance from him. He did this with the Fred substitution in PSG game. So stubborn and in the process deliberately sabotaging the team's chances.
With the subs and a proper plan B, this was easily winnable. Villarreal are way below us on quality. But Ole showed he had no clue what to do when throwing all attackers in did not yield the results. Forget the crap refereeing. Him running Rashford to the ground like crazy., even when Rashford looked completely out of form, is simply inexcusable.

Why do you wum on night like this?
I said before the game we would have to sub on Henderson if it went to penalities. If I know that how can our manager not?
I think he got hist first 11 spot one but I very much disagree with his in game management Tonight
Progress? Not really.
Club is 4 years without a trophy. That's not progress.

Heartbroken for him. A club legend and I've nothing but love for him but tonight was a really damaging defeat. Some world class managers available this summer
All that progress!!1!
You never disappoint with your deluded nonsense.Did you not watch the fa cup final against Chelsea?
That game was lost by the 70th minute... top tier management simply can’t be just picking your best 11 players on paper and then hoping one of them does something over 120 minutes... this is huge blow
All Emery did was notice that we’re consistently shit against a low block and bad at set peices and play to that...it wasn’t a particularly special tactical gazumping.

De Gea will take the blame for him... sadly.
Get Conte
He didnt know what to do. He made it up every 5 mins in extra time what his plan was. I think when he spoke with McKenna 10 mins before the penalties je had his big master plan ready.
He is out of his depth. We dont have time until he learns. He will need another decade to win any sort of silverware
Pretty much.
No one should underestimate the insane job he's done to get us to the point we're at, and we're miles better off where we were when Jose got binned, but there's little reason to believe he's going to take us much further. His inability to change things around with subs cost us tonight and his gamble to keep Rashford on for 120 mins completely failed
Ah, good old phrase last 3 years.
Unfortunately the owners will probably give him another 3 year contract.
This has been our plan for the whole of the season mate
If I believed our board could get him his signings, I wouldn't be against us going for Conte.
The luckiest man alive.
You've spent 3 years sharpening yours.
Well that just about summed up Solskjaer since he became manager. No evident coaching of the team, purely relying on a piece of individual brilliance that never came. A reluctance to make a substitution and before anyone says the bench was weak yes I know but anyone, and i mean anyone would have been better than Rashford tonight. I'm sorry but it's time to go based on that, he hasn't learnt and it's not likely he's going to after 2 and a half years of doing the same thing. That was there for the taking of we had any semblance of coaching on the training pitch.
He was pathetic tonight
This is way worse though. Villareal were there for the taking all game. They offered squat.
Chelsea are actually a good team.
Shocking today.
How are we supposed to trust him to take us to CL semis and beyond?
His track record is catastrophic.
Today Emeri out-smarted him completely, there was little luck in their win.
Ole's game management is going to be remembered for a long time. Truly balls-less.

People are saying he got the line-up right but I disagree.
Rashford should've started on the bench for two reasons. First, his poor form, and second, so that we could have a proper option on the bench.

Have been a huge supporter of Ole during his tenure but he's really pissed me off recently and tonight especially.
Threw the Premier League challenge weeks ago to focus on the Europa league and has now absolutely bottled it for the umpteenth time.
Carragher was right when he said earlier in the season that we looked like we didn't fancy it regarding our league challenge and it began with Ole.
It was the exact same thing tonight. Shit the bed, failed to make subs. Played negative football in extra time already preparing for penalties then keeps the worst penalties Keeper since the beginning of time on for them.
We owe De Gea feck all. He's held us to ransom on many occasions. Ole should have grew a pair and benched him for the shootout. Top managers make the big calls.
Fuming

Spot on, 20 minutes and the whole ET wasted because he didn't bring on fresh legs to continue the pressure.
That alone is such a school boy managerial decision that I can't believe he's made in a final. shocking
Definitely. I think he's genuinely done very well to get us to this stage, but I'm now looking around at our competitors who have the best managers in the world at the helm and just wondering when we're going to join them in appointing one.
Judging by this thread (and other), not in the slightest.
