People would equally moan if it was Matic/Fred tbf.

What about VDB in that case? We have enough cover in defence
He's playing a back 5 now, bring in Conte who actually has expertise in playing a back 5 instead of ole
How can you pick 7 defensive players and then put your two slowest/least mobile forwards up front
This is just so far beyond what the club even put up with from Jose, and he was pretty much deliberately trying to get sacked for 6 months.
He has to do something though. Cant keep playng that suicidal 424
Whatever the result, United should look to replace Ole asap. Hands off approach doesn't work when your coaches are also as clueless as you.
So, guys, is this it? Is it his final?
I would like to know your estimation: If Man United do not win tonight, or let's say have a somewhat unconvincing draw, will Solskjaer actually be sacked?
And please DON'T bother answering "He should", "I hope so", "I hope not", "He should have been long before" or any of that. I just want to know what you think WILL happen, not what you think should.
I want to know how, to your best estimation, the club is feeling and will operate.
A draw against a crap Spurs side will be seen as a heroic result by the board after what they witnessed last week. The only way they think about sacking him before Atalanta is if we get another thrashing today.
Might as well I suppose, shite to middling as he's been.
No i wont admit im wrong.
Ole has picked a team to avoid defeat andso as not to drop the untouchables. Ronaldo, fernandes, maguire.
Its weak tactics. Very weak and shows how spineless he is as a man
Is a draw a good or bad result for Ole?
Basically set us up like an underdog team from the Championship in order to save his job, disgusting self preservation
Beat Spurs and he’s 3 points behind City…
Yes, his coaching level is far beneath what Utd COULD get, but the current Utd owners are not high level in terms of their decisions.
They’re clowns in that sense, and Ole provides them with protection from the fans, which is obviously very important to them.
You can’t sack a manager who’s 3 points behind City - even if I do think Utd could do better with their coach.
Ohh we don't want Conte he plays 5 at the back. It's not the United way so says the board and nobhead Neville but its OK if Ole plays it.
Yeah it looks that way lately. But SAF actually had very good players capable of playing much better than he had them playing.
You say all this with such certainty, there's no "I think".
How do you know this?
Agreed, if they wouldn’t sack him after a 0-5 loss to their biggest rivals, then they definitely won’t sack him for getting a point today.
Think we’re going to be waiting till after City. I only hope in that time that we are seriously weighing up the pros and cons of all the available managers, in order to make a somewhat informed decision. Think that’s being somewhat optimistic.
conceded 5 and changed the philosophy to 5 at the back
Yeah, if it's going to happen it will likely be done during the international break.
He'll keep plodding along with zero shame.
Yep preciously you could play VDB in this system which is an improvement on either McFred.He is obsessed with McFred and it doesn't matter how shit United are in a match their names are the first on the team sheet come the next game. Ironically his obsession with McFred will hopefully get him the sack.
I think he is offside..
7 defensive players on the pitch. When McFred get in the final third they haven't a clue what to do neither has Wan Bissaka. If your gonna play this system you need somebody that can cross the ball which Dalot can.
Can people stop with this United way nonsense. One chance in half hour against this mediocre Tottenham side. 7 defensive players on the pitch with the manager hoping just to get something from the game to stay in the job.
Get ti feck.
Get ti feck.
Imagine that, he had like, how long… since September, to sort out the ‘suicidal 4-2-4’?
Bruno and Shaw are the only ones who can even pass or create in this team.
Maybe, Conte has already agreed, and Ole is helping him with auditions in his preferred system?
One can hope.

We seriously can get some silverware this season. We have the squad for it somewhere in there.
Seriously don’t botch this up and get an established manager

Pack it in guys. Ole is at the wheel.
Damn, he's staying lads
This really grinds my gears. The only “United way” that SAF showed us was win at all costs. That losing hurts. Everything else is mythicised nonsense.
We look like a team.
Ole in, Redcafe meltdown.
Love it.
Ole in, Redcafe meltdown.
Love it.
He’s staying so far!
1-0 up vs a poor spurs. We don’t look great either. Obviously we have Ronaldo though.
Lads it Spurs!!!
Means nothing if we win, will only prolong the inevitable and by which time the season will truly be a write off.
So if we scrape a win today against a poor Spurs, get a draw away at Atalanta and narrowly lose to a superior city, does that mean that Ole will still be at the wheel?
If people change their votes over one result, I will lose my shit
If you win today, you could be level on points with City next Sunday. Would be madness to sack Ole when you're in such a good position.
Win this and against Atalanta and he has his job secured till the end of the season at least. Defeat City as well and he has his job secured for the next 5 years.
Wheel at the Ole.
Ole in!
That’s certainly better than going out of the CL and being humiliated at home by City.
