I know tactical decisions are mostly on Ole but do Carrick and McKenna only sit there and say "yes boss"? seem like none of them complain or question some of the decisions at all?

No way, brother. That's too late. He should be sacked as soon as us crashing out looks likely. With all the investment this season, a repeat of last years failure is unacceptable.
Yea same. I just cannot see it when i see the way we play and also because there are too many good teams as well in both England and Europe.
On paper we have one of the best teams in the world but we dont play like it, mostly away from home.
Should have taken off pogba when we went a man down and also should have left fred on.
I agree, but we won’t go out I don’t think.
Yeah. Not sure how we managed to go 1-0 up when the odds were stacked against us like that.
20:2 shots. Awful awful manager. No words.
Ronaldo might have the chance to complete his trophy set haha
That's a good example. Completely lost our heads. However you could say that Spurs are a good team who were in better physical condition than us owing to no pre-season for our players. However this was inexcusable. That second half was as disgraceful as they come. Yet some on here will have you believe that it's all AWB's fault. Yes, he was very careless and sometimes stuff like that happens when you lunge, but to then send the team out second half playing as if we are about to get thrashed, was so shameful.
Any words from him in the post match interview? Is he blaming he red card, ref or the pitch? I bet he cannot introspect and see how shite his in-game management is.
The RAWK version of @No Idea For Nickname will be getting Legendary status tonight, that's for sure.
his decisions are what gave way to the back pass
Ole got it wrong and it was a disappointing result. Still confident we’ll go through so no point in going overboard.
5 games to go in CL group stages, draw has been kind to us, no excuses , this team must qualify from this group
Best to ignore it.
If that was Jose today, the knives would be out from those same posters.
Every team face freak result. However, these kind of performance, and even result is not uncommon for us. That's where it is worrying. I don't think there is progression in our football. It's more about improvement in player quality. However player quality can only do as much. In situation like going down 10 men, it requires manager ability to come up with idea to control the game which we're as clueless as ever.
Are you for real?
Ok but if we smash the next 5 games in the group, like we very well might do I am sure the narrative changes. The season will be full of ups and downs. I’d rather lose tonight than Sunday or last game in the group
He's put his faith in the wrong players and has done a bit too much for me. I get the loyalty idea, but it's now just affecting results.
Two of them let him down tonight and then on top of that he's consciously chosen to ignore midfield so we're incapable of keeping possession properly with 11 men, let alone down to 10.

If only we had Harry Kane, we'd be back as all conquering team again. Said who?
Am I the only one relaxed here?
We're out of CL already?
Sack Ole now and restart again? 5 games into the season?
Mind blowing stuff here.

How on earth he prioritised Donny over a DM and then hardly play him. This is the match you need a skilled DM.
Agreed. This group of players have a lot going for them. Any manager with pedigree will get this group playing well and competing for serious silverware. With Ole, we will never be good enough it seems and will most likely waste the last years of Ronaldo as well.
For me, the biggest factor is the lack of game control, even the games we won. Too many last ditch tackles, too many misplaced passes. Things you don't see other top clubs in Europe. The team is fantastic now, no excuses for Ole for me.
Everyone's decision gave way to that back pass if you're scrutinising it to that degree.
He speaks like they play CL group games every week
Just look at the way Chelsea plays (watching them right now), no player takes more than two touches in their own half. Our coaching compared to theirs is night and day. No amount of signings make up for coaching this deficient.
you actually think this wasn't an awful performance?! feck me, This whole performance was a joke. We invited far too much pressure, played hoof ball and failed to regain control. Being a man down is not a fecking excuse to allow 19 shots to 2 versus Young Boys.Don't try and trick anyone to insinuate the performance was fine if not for the individual errors. We were shite. It's that simple. Hollywood balls galore, no discipline in keeping it simple, no composure. Nothing.
Maybe for you.
if ended 1-1 id still be pissed that a team like that basically played us off the park.
Pretty much.
The team has too much quality(credit to Ole for that) to fail, but we don't have a top level manager to win the big trophies.
Even if the game ended 1-1, that second half performance was a shambles. 10 men or not, to not even have an attempt the whole half is not acceptable, especially against a team like Young Boys.
If he wins a trophy this year he stays.
When he doesn't, he goes.
That's the situation, he's earned that.
Given everything I've seen to date, he won't win a trophy. So we can start looking at options around March I'd say.
He's done an excellent job of turning around the mood, squad and so forth, and should go with our thanks.

I just don't know why Ole isn't able to get any kind of consistency out of us. One would think a game like on the weekend would give a lift. Yet we came out today slow and pedestrian even before the sending off. Every good result is followed by some horrific performances under Ole. No idea why that is.
I'm also pretty sure you're right. It will be interesting to see what kind of job he gets when his time at United is over.
We are faced with having to put a shift in to beat villareal and atalanta. Its gonna be very difficult.
Do we need 18 points to go through or something?
This is exactly how I feel. He won't do a shit enough job to get the boot, because our ambitions at the top are limited to Top 4. There's too much quality in the squad to not make it, but I don't see us winning any serious prize under him.
Which is very depressing, because by the time we are ready to move on from him. Some of the players in our current squad either won't be here or won't be in their prime.
It would be such a miracle for him to win the CL. Just think of the comical losses vs Barcelona, Isaksehir, Leipzig, Villareal, Sevilla and even mistakes like keeping on Fred vs PSG when we lost. Now this.
Imagine that this wouldn't in the CL till the final and we'd actually win it, that'd be great. Strangely exciting in some way because we bottle all the time.

We're just so bad to watch. We've been bad to watch for years now. We have some games where we thump teams with a few great individual performances (usually from Bruno) despite playing really bad that tends to disguise how dull and disappointing a side we are to fecking watch. Even today we didn't have a shot after the 24th minute and that was well before the red card. It's incredible really. Whatever about the lack of trophies, the midfield, the defensive mistakes, whatnot, how, after three years and all this money spent are we so incredibly dull to watch? Where is the good football we were promised by OGS? Cause I've never fecking seeing it.
