Don't know why he would pick Young over Dalot as right back when Dalot got a much better cross in him.
Also he need to be more brave and attacking with his subs when we are chasing games. I feel like Ole is very defensive minded and not wanting to take too many risks.

We always knew these players weren't good enough to win a PL/CL.
Hang on you can't take Young off if you don't play him!
Who do you replace Young with? How can you criticise Ole? Just curious.
Got it wrong at the start but adapted well, his subs were a bit iffy though. Have to question his thought process when he let Young run out the full 90.
The fact that people are using this result against Ole is incredible... Didn't deserve to lose. We are playing against barca ffs. We have a shite squad.
People who keeping saying 0 shots, I shake my head at. I would be worried if no chances were created. If Rashford wasn't so rash in his shooting and got one of his a 30 yard shots on target would that have satisfied you?
Dalot and Rashford both had great chances

And the cafe wanted him here a few years ago. People really need to chill out! - So many know it all’s it’s frightening. We lost 0-1 to Barcelona; arguably one of, if not the next club football side in world football at the moment
Well, that's 100% on the manager. Young has been playing like this for a year now, if he cannot see that than we might as well give up now. And no, I don't agree with this BS that there is no one better to replace Young.
What's with our managers and sticking with players who are not good enough? LVG had Rooney, Jose had Fellaini and now Ole has Young for some bizarre reason. No logic at all.
His subs had no logic to them either, starts with Lukaku when were going to sit deep and hit them on the counter, but then takes him off when he brings on Pereira who can cross. Ending the match with two passive players upfront makes no sense either.
He's trying to be too clever and his inexperience is showing I'm afraid.

The subs were terrible. Really needed to keep Lukaku on, we had zero presence in the box at the end.
The amount of fake people looming on this forum is just something else. Why someone cant say, that we were set as cowards from first minute, improved after they scored and then with a hindsight say how sub could be better, last part of the game we were way off. Why someone cant say that him playing fecking Young is on him or certain players getting extension etc. Why? Because he is at fecking wheel or what!?
On top of that, those people being called out as non supportive, making out how they called for his head and similar bullshit. This idolizing nonsense getting old. You think you showing more support by being deluded then those who point as certain aspects they have issue with? Cheek of people laughing at those clowns on RAWK.

Weird subs for me but I’m not at Carrington every day to watch them. Again it’s not his squad, they’ve been basically playing must win games since Mourinho left, as Mourinho left us in that hole and we’ve somehow conjured a decent run at things in the second half of the season. The squad have to adapt to yet another play style and this time in midseason. He got rid of Fellaini immediately. Valencia, Darmian, Rojo have been phased out. Herreras heads been turned by Paris which disrupts the squad more.
The club as a whole needs to unfeck itself between now and August, by settling out new contracts, spending money on new players, shipping out the current ones, hopefully implementing a football structure at the club so we don’t have to go all the way back to square one if OGS fails.
Can’t really blame him for our attackers being so wasteful tonight. Fred and McTominay looked great considering Matic being injured(?) and Herrera suffering injury from reading his contract from Paris.

Ole's subs have been confusing to say the least. That team ended up completely disjointed by the end and at times his inexperience is showing.
If he wasn’t a United legend, nobody would have wanted the Molde manager on a full time basis.
I desperately want him to succeed, but I have a horrible feeling that he is majorly out of his depth.

He's more trusted defensively than Dalot or Valencia which is hardly the baffling decision that some people try and pretend it is.
Young is clearly absolutely atrocious with the ball at his feet (and he's little more than average defensively) but Dalot has looked a long way from ready in that position and Valencia is a busted flush.
What do we really expect? Yes, it's annoying that Young starts but I remember getting pelters in the summer because I wasn't happy that we were going in to the season with our shit options at right back. It's a problem he inherited and hasn't had time to fix.
I feel really sorry for any manager Who gets employed at this club.
The fanbase is starting to look a lot like the spoiled lot of real Madrid.
Not giving the manager a summer window, pre season and a possibility to put his stamp on the team before the pitchforks are out.
And people comparing this to mourinho? Enough Said there tbh.

Are people seriously saying we played like under jose? 
Under jose we wouldn't have put 2 passes together or even have more than 3 players in their half.
Feck me you lot like gold fish.

Well - he came on and Barca killed our momentum. Even drunk he is a decent player :-)
Under Jose we'd have had little possession,hoofed the ball, had no shots on target, and then put in some effort when we went a goal behind. So much like tonightAre people seriously saying we played like under jose?
Feck me you lot like gold fish.
He is defo more trusted but for me there is no way he is better than Dalot (who is far from the finished product) so therefore I'd prefer to give the experience to the kid and hopefully see him blossom. He might get it right or not but with Young there is no surprise, we know 100% in advance how he'll play.
Only thing he did wrong was keep persisting with Young. But I'm sure some will find 5, 6 things more.
I'm going to assume everyone moaning about having zero shots on target and comparing us unfavourably to Mourinho's sides didn't watch the game, or are 12 years old.
Thought it was Mourinho's fault?
Stop being deliberately obtuse. Ole could've put Dalot as RB and subbed Young off for Lingard. He fecked up by starting Young in first instance, it's not difficult to comprehend. I also listed the mistakes which he made with regards to tactics, formation and personnel but all that flew over your heard.
Keep on pretending all is merry with the manager, it won't be long when things are going to be bleeding obvious for likes of you. He's playing shitty football for a while now and is being rightly called out for it. Can't be having one yardstick for 1 manager and different for another.
Hear hear @SuperiorXI
Shaw as a 3rd CB for the first time ever and Dalot as a left wing-back for the first in his career(doubt either ever happened before)?
Seemed illogical and Shaw was to blame for the goal.
It wasn’t him, it was our subs.
People are second guessing themselves now that the honeymoon is over. Only time will tell whether this will work out or not but @Garethw has a point. Very few of us are looking at this from a dispassionate standpoint.
He isn't a creative manager - and don't know how to implement really, genuinely good football.
He's been put in place so the Glazers / Woodward don't have to spend on an actual Elite manager, and don't have to deal with the demands of a proper, top level coach.
It was always a ludicrous decision - I believe the Summer and next season will show even further why.
Yes.
Both are far, far better managers than OGS ffs.

Exactly this. This place became some Ole Solskjaer cult. We lost 4 of 5 last games, kicked out from one cup, very close from being out from second cup.
And to answer on question in his song. Well, i feel like shit.
So instead of putting 2 passes together we managed to go up to 5 passes, still had 0 shots on target and have some fans tell us "it wasnt that bad"Are people seriously saying we played like under jose?
Feck me you lot like gold fish.
Geez the mediocrity rot has well and truly set in. This is exactly how it must have happened for Pool and then Arsenal. I guess we are next
Agreed. He needs to be ruthless with the players or it’ll eventually cost him his job.
All in all, I’m quite encouraged by what I saw. With a bit of quality, providing we really back him, we should see us improve dramatically. Let’s see what happens in the summer.
He started with Dalot on the wrong side though. Playing Dalot on the right and Shaw on the left with Jones as a central defender would have made much more sense.
Dalot has shown he is really good at crossing which would have worked much better on the right. Playing Young on the left would have been better because at least he would not have put in a lot of poor crosses and his better defending would have helped to stop Messi better too.
I'd say in our quality of attack, we're a mile behind them as none of our attacking players and young be composed on balls, it's still not enough for us to dominate possession. Sancho would be perfect to link up with a new fullback and better passers CM.
This is not Mourinho's team, we played better on balls and able to string more passes but need more quality players who can make a difference with balls and difficult to dispossess.

We played well from min. 20 to 70. Credit to him. But for the rest of the game, we were set up completely wrong. You don't win against Barca by just waiting passively in your own box. It was bizarre to witness us not trying to get the ball when trailing with five minutes left.
OK let’s take Jose Back!!
Look seriously, We have someone that ‘gets’ the club, gets the ethos, gets the tradition, gets the importance of youth, gets the structure and respects the history.
I’m sure Ole is fully aware he needs additions in the summer so let’s see what the summer brings.
Board acted too quickly, should've waited till the end of the season.
I thought Lukaku was having a decent 2nd half. Subbing him was very confusing
What's that? 4 losses in 5 games. Bang average football continues. God knows what the problem is. 0 shots on target in a home leg.
