Was he tactically inept against City? For 3 wins?Funny thing is Ole is actually buying good players and improving some of their young players too.
Problem is, tactically he's inept and struggles to win/change a game, so all of those good players are just wasting away their talent. And United's only solution is to throw more money at the problem, hoping having enough good players will overcome a tactically inept manager (ala Real Madrid years ago).
It's a derby. Players motivations are often high, as they are when they play us.Was he tactically inept against City? For 3 wins?
Regardless that was 3 wins against Pep. And his tactics weren't his run of the mill tactics either. He caught Guardiola out.It's a derby. Players motivations are often high, as they are when they play us.
"win/change" really means when they're not playing well, against a lesser side, and when plan A isn't working.

I seem to remember this 'not making subs to change a game' charge being leveled at Klopp too. Primarily it's how you set your team out and the tactics from the start that are going to decide the vast majority of matches.
Ok.. change tactically "inept" to tactically "immature".Was he tactically inept against City? For 3 wins?
Yep. Pathetic defending, just flinging themselves to ground.That was proper school yard stuff. That defender should be embarrassed.
Id rather they keep this manager. He’s the worst they’ve had in 50 years.
Like Wenger you mean?You're missing the point, if they keep him in long term, it's because he's doing well. The only managers that stay at clubs longer than a few seasons, are the successful ones. I want them to be talking about sacking all their managers every year.

Which is testament to the quality of individual players & a determination to keep playing.I often find United winning games due to individual quality and bad finishing from the opposition than just outright winning games from the start by outplaying the opposition. They seem to make a specialism of undeserved wins.
Post lockdown they were in great form, but it's hard to judge how good it truly was given that most other teams post-lockdown form/motivations were low.
Exactly.Which is testament to the quality of individual players & a determination to keep playing.
However, it doesn't reflect well at all on the team as a whole, they're inability to gel, or their tactics.
Make that 5 timesBrighton have hit the woodwork four times today; no team has done so more in a single Premier League game since Opta have this data available (2003-04).

What was it .. 13 games unbeaten at the end of last season? OK those were unprecedented circumstances but this forum does seem to be saying that if they win it's due to the individual players and if they don't it's down to the manager.Which is testament to the quality of individual players & a determination to keep playing.
