I want to imagine how Ole can get angry with players or can he give them that hairdryer when needed? Because he always seem a real nice guy.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer | W15 D2 L4
- Thread starter Tom Van Persie
- Start date
In Moyes' case: A never been.
You might be interested in what Lingard says about him in this article mate.

I especially like "He has got a hairdryer in him," bit.
On a sidenote, it's kind of ridiculous the number of interviews and pressers pre-match and post-match that the manager has to give, and then talking the same thing over and over again to different people. Little wonder some managers hate it but had no choice
It was great to see the coaching staff celebrating the goal against Spurs - so refreshing after the dour gesturing of the previous regime. I get the impression that Ole has not just rejuvenated the team on the pitch, but has created a good unit off it as well.
Yes this was a highlight for me too. I had serious doubts about Solskjaer when he was appointed as caretaker and until we played quality opponents I wasn't convinced. Yesterday had me starting to believe though will wait till the end of the season before making my final judgement. If he gets 4th place then it's only fair he should be considered.
Delusion.
Quality control
If he continues present form to the end of the season and records some big wins against top opposition. Tottenham haven't had a midweek break since November and we still lost yesterday asides from De Gea.
I know, right? Thank feck we're allowed to play with a goalkeeper now that Ole's in charge!
We could have been ahead by 2 or 3 goals before half-time. Had our attackers been more clinical in the final third we would have been.
Yeah, people keep saying how Spurs could have scored lots of goals etc, but United could have easily scored 4 or 5 if clinical enough.
WOW!
Before Spurs even had a shot on target we should have been a few up (Pogba x2, lingard should have squared to Martial) so your narrative is slightly flawed.
Plus, we are allowed to play a goalkeeper you know!
Ole has done a great job flipping the negative culture and style of the team to a positive, attacking one - Watching the last 6 games there seems a common issue with fitness
in almost all games we've seen a player or two like Herrera yesterday suffering cramp
the team have lost intensity the last 20 mins of games and it's something we need to focus on improving
Mourinho's tactics meant we ran far less than other teams in the league - players were more static in terms of positioning, sprinting and ground covered
now we are running more, playing with intensity, players supporting each other, making themselves available and it's starting to show in terms of tiredness
this will be Solskjaer's next challenge and it makes you wonder how poor Mourinho could be at his job that our players struggle so much to perform at a high level for 90 mins or more
when we resume the CL and if we end up in an extra time situation it will be crucial to address this

I'm at a loss.
Early contender for worst post of the year right here...
The sheer arrogance of this:
If he had actually watched our games, he would know that some tactics were involved and it's not all just "ok lads, smile and attack, attack, attack".
Ole is no rookie, he's done some good work with Molde. Ince would be as effective as Gary Neville was at Valencia.
Steve Bruce perhaps yes, but no one rates Ince as a manager. Absolute no one
So is Paul Ince.
Strong words from master tactician Paul Ince.
faaaaack off, Guv.Does that mean some people still rate Steve Bruce as a manager?
He's fine for some clubs in the championship. Also did an okay job at Sunderland and Hull for instance. Definitely more credentials than Paul Ince has
Yeah, that was atrocious.
For me, the whole manager scenario is very simple... If pochettinho becomes available then we take him. If ole continues to do a good job this year, then outside of Poch then it's gotta be something fecking special to take that place. The talk of Gareth Southgate is frightening and hilarious, although who knows with our board.. . Do you really think the fans would accept him like ole? That would be the most depressing appointment that I could actually see happening.
Zidane ...only if ole flops.
Simeone .. Only if ole flops
Rose .. Only if old flops.
Basically, ole can do as well as you like and I'd probably take poch. But if he isn't gonna be available and ole keeps performing like he is, then I wouldnt want to swap him for anyone else that's available.
This should be OGS job if Poch doesn't want it.

What a disastrous post
I know, right ?! We lost? The 1-0 scoreline suggests otherwiseWhat a disastrous post

That's some pretty sound, easy to follow advice to be fair.
Football managers can become obsessive over the technical side of football.
He’s not angry he’s disappointed
Think Paul Ince maybe slightly jealous Solskjaer has the job Ince wants.
Hardly worth writing down on a piece of paper, though is it?
A win can be a loss.
I was waiting for someone to come and say 'i could do it too'. was expecting it to be a caftard, not a professional
Very much doubt Ince would have played Lingard in the role Ole did yesterday. It is true that a lot of what Ole is doing is not necessarily tactical, even he has implied that, but he does 100% deserve respect for the first half yesterday, he got it spot on.
I don’t think this is recency bias and I’ll try to be as objective as possible. Here’s what I want from the manager of Man Utd in the format of a question and answer session.
Q. Does he have a love for the club?
A. Yes. For me he is a club legend. His peak career coincided with the greatest manager of all times greatest moments. He bleeds united.
Q. Will the players respect him?
A. Yes, he’s been there and done it as a professional. The entire squad will respect him and there can be no sulking from players who aren’t picked because it’s solskjaer, arguably the most recognizable impact player from the bench in the history of the game. No-one can say the phrase “you have to be ready to take your chance when it comes” with more conviction than Ole.
Q. Does he get the best out of players on the pitch?
A. It sure looks that way. The level of talent he now has at his disposal far succeeds what he had at Cardiff and in Norway but in 6 games we’ve seen improvement from too many players for it to be coincidence. He’s playing to each individuals strengths and it’s working for the benefit of the team.
Q. Is he tactically sound?
A. Yes, as proved against Tottenham. I said it in the match thread the day before the game that spurs play very narrow and you need to get at them in the spaces vacated by the fullbacks, and Ole executed this to perfection. We absolutely battered them in that first half yesterday and it was down to Ole and his teams tactics. The celebration from the coaching staff after the goal was basically them saying “IT WORKED!”
Q. Can he attract big names
A. The jury is out on this one because we don’t know, but right now I don’t think big players would want to come just because of Ole (unless they are united fans). If he keeps the style up and achieves top 4, then players will be looking at him as an up and coming brilliant manager who very clearly gets along with players. We offer one of the biggest stages in the world to perform on, but whether or not Ole can be the reason players want to join remains to be seen.
There are other pre requisites but for me these are the main ones. The guy has 6 wins out of 6 and the best form in the premiership right now. Yes he had a great run of fixtures but every top team has had easier teams in recent weeks, so the 100% start should be heralded for what it is, a fecking miracle compared to where we come from.
I’ll wait and see how he responds to adversity before I give my final seal of approval but right now if I’m making the decisions in the summer, Solskjaer is the number 1 candidate.
