Nothing wrong with pointing out your fantastic education is there, clearly you're a level or two above some of the people on this forum

The thing is, everybody knows it is the same group of people who have ruined this message board. It's a mystery how they have been allowed to get away with it for so long. Who can blame the decent posters for buggering off, when these idiots put on the same show day after day?
On track. Legend! Playing four players under 20 years, and thumping PSG. And have the balls to sub players (Read, Warnock - defender!) after half hour play. Then change the tactics again. Absolutely stunning management (With Fergie on Mike giving Ole the orders) Talk about staff coercion :biggrin:
Btw Balesy. Phelan was never the tactic guy. He was the translator, the feel good factor and the one giving players the details. Not the orchestrator :thumbup:
He's been pretty lucky, especially last night. They had 3 shots on target, one into an empty net, one Buffon spilled to Lukaku, and one hit the arm of a defender.
I like ole and I like the football they are playing but I think this run is flattering him a bit, they are overperforming xG by a large amount at the moment and that never lasts
Agree. Not sure luck is it. But poor defending. Poor goalkeeping and VAR saves the day for them. Yes, and a post shot from PSG. Dosent change the fact that they actually had some control. That sub after 30 minutes changed the game. PSG grew into it second half again, and again they adjust immediate. And those kids? Brilliant management, and it's not the first time. XG is a graph, not a fortune teller. And ”the sour one” made that median.
It changed the game. It looked like a five goal loss at the time, to being defensive control. And the movement of PSG was effectively nullefied. Yes they are. Still a massive achievement with that team and bemch. It's like taking Blackpool to the quarter finals of champions league..
I can't help but like Solskjaer, he does seem like a down to earth good guy.
I can't remember wanting to see a manager succeed at Cardiff and in retrospect (especially having to endure Slade) maybe we should have given him longer considering the conflict of playing styles from Malky's to his.
However I do agree with those who say that they couldn't even understand what he was even trying to do at that time.
His signings were underwhelming and considering his obsession with all things Man United I was really surprised that he didn't address the lack of pace in the squad.
Any half wit should admit, feck. We dropped a bollock letting this guy go! But we didn't let him go. He left by his own choice not being dictated how to build his team. Lets hope it dosent come down to the last game of the season, because that would be karma on another level!
I miss playing Le Fondre out wide what a genius manager Ole was, we'd be in the Champions League right now if we didn't let him go.
ahh, remembered it now.. Rushford or something. :thumbup:
This has nothing to do with Warnock so leave it.
I don't know what striker you're on about, is it Rashford? Because if so you should be banned for trying to compare Le Fondre to Rashford :hehe: Even then Rashford has been playing up front in a 2 recently so not sure what your point is.
Never in my life have I seen someone so obsessed with a manager who failed at Cardiff nearly 5 years ago. He's doing a brilliant job at United, doesn't change how poor he was here.
It is. if you are half way interested in how a club and football works. if you are mostly on a bus, singing songs and having a beer. But if looking at the details, the ins and outs. It really is about where a club is at that time and where it wants to go. If it wants to go in straight lines and dead end, it does. Look at Leeds now. Not much of a team to brag about, but they got their obsessive manager. Lucky for them, he didn't need time..
i bet you are one of those thinking Slade "steady the ship", aren't you gandalf?
Similar to when I saw Adam lineup there too. Again, this isn't about Neil or his tactics.
I fully understand what an inside forward is, Rashford has played either up front or out wide since he debuted in the first team for United, he has more understanding of that role than Le Fondre ever had. Le Fondre was a pure poacher and was shunted out wide to accommodate Ole's weird tactics (which to this day not a single person can say they knew what he was trying). Square pegs, round holes comes to mind. Why not just buy a winger who can play that role? He certainly was backed in his time here.
Nope. throw some more irrelevant arguments my way if you want
For the record I didn't like Slade at all, he underperformed with the squad he had and never in my life have I seen less inspiring football or a less inspiring man It drove me away from the club during the 2014/15 season.
What else have you got
I dont think that day will ever come. But i agree with what he said himself. "I tried to implement it all at once, and that was a mistake". And a direct quote from one of the players i spoke with at the time. "We underestimated how deep the troubles at the club was running".
Onwards and upwards :ayatollah:
Going to loose today...
