It's dependent on personnel;forced.3 away wins within a week is good and commendable but it could all turn back into what it was a few weeks ago again. We've had plenty of false dawns before.
I'm still concerned about the style of play, especially when most of our matches don't suit his current play style he employs.
I’m obviously over the moon we won and want Ole to succeed more than any manager post SAF. If we carry this into Bournemouth on Saturday I reckon he’ll start to get some fans on board again or at least climbing back on board. We must start beating inferior teams, not just raising our game against teams above us.
I hope youre right.He will be here for the next season as well, i dont think we have a target. I think top 4 next season will be the goal. I hope he keeps on improving and sees that some players are just not useable (Lingard and Mata)
Just for the record some of us never got off the Ole train even when it was going badly.
I don’t really want some of the Ole out brigade to jump back on after a few good results if all they are going to do is jump off again as soon as there’s another bad result. Some of the trash I’ve read on here over the last 10 months has been truly shameful. I question whether some people understand what supporting a team actually means.
Anybody spouting that the team isn’t being coached in any way is proved wrong by that performance.
A clear as day aggressive press which has been non existent for probably ten years.
Tactical changes to go to three at the back over the last few games, changing this in-game today and got a reaction from the substitutes.
As others have mentioned, players like Fred, McTominay, Andreas have clearly improved under Ole.
His signings have been spot on (and yes they are HIS signings no matter who says otherwise.)
The bottom line is we don’t have the squad to play quite the expansive attacking football that we all long to see again BUT Ole is making it work, the players are playing for him.
When you consider the above why would you not trust Ole with another transfer window? Long may it continue.

You two guys talk too much sense. We have no pattern in our game instead of high pressing and park the bus if we have a lead. This tactic may work for you in some big games here and there, but in the long run it's not sustainable (Especially against the "poor" teams where you need to break them down). This so-called great run we have ( Beating the worst team in the league and a pub team in europe) will paper over the cracks in the same way it did when Ole won his first 9 games. I mean we were really really lucky against spurs when we won 1-2 but apparently Ole was some kind of genius for his setup when in reallity it was thanks to Rashford and Pogba that we won that game. The exact thing will happen now thanks to a wonderful Rashford free kick.
People get swayed too much by results.
I don't see much of a difference between today's performance and say vs Liverpool or other 1-1s. Defensively we are better, credit to Ole and Maguire/AWB.
My biggest complaint is we don't know what to do when attacking. Some of it is down to poor players but some of it is down to poor coaching IMO.

Thought we were better against Liverpool to be fair.
Yes, such as the doom-mongers that wanted him gone when we were losing.
Do you think we should be beating Bournemouth on Saturday though or if we lose you’ll just say “another bad result, it happens“? Yes, we’ve moved up to 7th but let’s not pretend we’re suddenly having a decent season. At least 4th most still be the priority or it’s another colossal failure.
And here is another candidate for shit post of the year but admittedly he is also a troll

This game like the other big matches suits his defensive counter attacking tactics- I had a good feeling he will win today. Basically just defend. He have the defenders to sit deep and the fast strikers in the front to make it simple and a effective formula.
But unfortunately for him we only play 10 matches ,maybe 2/3 in the cup against big teams and 28 matches vs other 14 teams. So this doesn't really change anything or teach us something we didn't know previously. How we set up vs these 14 teams will settle his fate in the end.
Full credit to Solskjaer and the coaching team for the set-up tonight. Was in full control from start to finish really.
That doesn't happen by accident, let alone vs an exciting Chelsea team at home.
What i also liked was his positive substitutions after the Chelsea goal. We were looking shaky then, but he managed to stabilise us and regained control.
I've been very critical of Solskjaer in recent weeks but that was a top performance from him tonight.
I would go along with that definitely. On the opening day, they were actually in control, having lots of chances before we scored against the run of play. We were quite lucky to win the match that day.Agreed. Thought he did a better job here than the opening game, scoreline aside.
Yup, really like what's going at the club at the moment. Obviously this last couple of wins helps massively, but for me it only confirms what we're building at the club. Oles 3 signings so far have been huge additions and along with all the young lads getting regular minutes there seems to be a great team spirit building throughout the team. Think step by step we're going to get back to a proper United team.100% agree. The most exciting times post SAF in my view. We are a bit up and down but when we are on form we are so good and the wins are so sweet. Buzzing off tonight. Oles tactical masterclass, not for the first time since he’s been here he’s done it many times.
You're asking two separate things here. I can agree that getting 4th is realistically the target, but I'm not going to allow a win, draw or loss against Bournemouth massively swing my opinion.
Bournemouth are a decent side but we clearly have enough to go there looking to win the game; and I think we will. If we don't though I'm not going to start calling for the manager to be fired.
