Didn't do any harm that's for sure. Seems to do OK in the big games because we are the underdogs, it's the games against the next few he's shit in

What alternatives did we have?
Undone by parking the bus for the entire 2nd half as usual when we lead 1-0 and inviting the pressure.
Bringing on a defender in the closing minutes of a draw got Mo slaughtered on here, yet not a peep from the Ole in brigade today about that.
Its not really an excuse. It will and should be used for every game till we dont fix it. If we are winning, its despite it.
We need at least 1 right winger, a striker and 2 midfielders. All top players and not kids with "potential" or squad fillers.
Why is he that? Rubish. We have problems breaking low blocks due to the players available not that Ole is a counter attacking managerthere is no such thing
So we have trouble breaking down Newcastle because we don’t have any players. Ok.
I don’t see Bournemouth moaning about players yet they play a better brand of football than us.
This is the same as the PSG game. Well almost. Back then an underdog performance where we sat back for 90 mins and played on the counter got him the job. Now it's probably saving him. For a few weeks at least. The big problems will occur when we are the ones that need to create again.
We matched them man for man for large periods of the game and deserved to win outright.
We didn't look like underdogs to me. Liverpool were lucky to escape with a point all things considered.
I think it was the right way to approach it. We don't have the players right now to dictate that game.
Why? If you have a stronger squad relative to AZ, Rochdale, Alkmar, Newcastle etc.. Why should we have to point to how we have a weak squad compared to what wed like to have?
The off-form team is also Ole's doing. It's not like he has had no hand in it. Frankly, if Ole wasn't the legend he was for us, this performance would have been crucified by the fans. Mourinho actually had us play slightly better offensively even when we parked the bus. The second half today was horrible to watch. Holding on to dear lives at home the entire second half.
It is an excuse when we lose against teams with similar squads.
We had a fecking 20% possession in the 2nd half. If it's acceptable to you - fine but to me it's ridiculous.
Ole did well today but you are pushing it now
The long winning runs of top teams usually come to a stop against teams that are struggling.
Extremely happy we didn’t lose... but really hope people don’t think this is some new dawn under Ole

He did a lot of things right today, but he seems absolutely incapable of how to manage or change his approach during the game when his team's performance starts to drop.
Christ, we are going nowhere with him. Zero fecking in game management.
Got it right with 352, i give him that but then in second half showed why he is limited coach. Didn't react on Klopp's changes. Didn't react at all. He just parked the bus. 45 minutes of being parked in your penalty area is hardly outsmarting someone.
All this shows me is that a better manager would do far better with what we have.
Hoping to hit them on the counter, you mean, which is perfectly acceptable given the circumstances; injuries, our current league position and the quality of the opposition.
They don't play against low defensive blocks almost every game with 60-70% possesion. With Pogba and Martial back we will be better at it.
Still out of his depth and needs to go.
Should play with 5 at the back until the new year now to compensate for the midfield's lack of quality.
Ffs, people will complain no matter what... I despise our fans sometimes...
There's some of the same people here bitchin' that were saying we will lose 0-5 (probably hoped & disappointed we didn't)

It's not the tactical masterclass but I guess we can at least say he didn't harm his prospects like previous weeks. In game management still leaves some to be desired.
Subs could have been made earlier when we were wasting breakaway opportunities on long hoofs. He also took a big risk shouting them to go even more compact. It ceded space in wide areas and we know Liverpool can whip in a cross. They had all the time and space to make that cross that led to the goal
They created nothing besides the goal - which was a defensive error more than anything.
Jose with a smile but without the trophies
And the quality of our coaching staff/manager.
Brilliant brilliant performance against the kings of Europe in supreme form. Today i saw every player play for the club for the manager.
Couldn't agree more, he plays defensive football just like Jose did but can't seem to grind out the wins. We simply stop playing after scoring a goal and invite so much pressure, that it becomes inevitable any small mistake THAT close to the goal will be punished.
Yes because Pogba and Martial have been missing for six months. Have you been watching us for the last six months?
Completely agree. Don't think our squad is nearly as bad as most seem to think.
This and this is so obvious now
So how can it be that the squad is shite for the last 6 months or so, considering we were missing Pogba, Martial for all but 5 mins and Shaw, yet we matched the best team in the league currently man for man?
This thread says everything about the modern United supporter.
He may have some.good ideas but I don't think he is good at management. I want him to.do well but I don't see any improvements.
Why do I even bother.
Have your fun whingers. I'm going to have a beer or 5

He got it right tactically and the players showed they're still behind him.
We really need to win the next few matches though, or he won't be able to carry on with us.

Of course. The players are capable when coached right and when we set up correctly.
Credit where its due, he did exceptionally well today considering the team he had, our form, injuries, etc. Allegri would have been proud of those tactics.
