is that so?

Still love that they spelt fergie wrong first time round and you can still see it on the sheet...

Takes a man to head to Carrington though

Not great, again.

We all know he's a terrible manager. He hasn't just suddenly become great by heating all the bottom sides after lockdown. Just needs to get us top 4, then I'd happily see him leave.

Let's be honest, he's a lovely bloke and we all want him to do well but aside from two purple patches in form 18 months apart, his tenure has been £#%&!ing £#%&!

Wasn't his fault that we gave a stupid penalty away - he was to blame for the weekend cup fiasco but tonight, not so much.

I'm sorry but our ability to beat a team who are currently 16th at home shouldnt hinge on a penalty decision.

We failed to beat them because we played abysmally, couldn't pass or control the game and allowed west ham to boss it for large periods.

Manchester United used to be able to score their way out of mistakes like that you know.

Fun Fact: Over 65% of the forum thought we'd finish 5th or below this season.

Our first team selection is tired and it shows, and we don't have enough quality to replace them adequately.

Again, neither of those problems are something the manager has real control over at present.

Non wet flannel reds

Didn’t manage that game well

Had to get more energy onto the pitch as most of our players looked dead never mind dead on their feet
Looked like he was afraid to change anything as a draw was not the worst result

In hindsight he should have rotated more and should have done a full rotation for the semi final at the weekend
Now it’s too late as he’ll feel he has to play the likes of Rashford even though he looks £#%&!ed at weekend

If we blow this it’s going to be a huge blow for Ole establishing himself as the man to take us forward at Utd

We’ve done so well to catch up the other two so just get over the line somehow

He’s been poor. Nqat.

His inability to motivate the team is very worrying.

That was a huge 45 minutes, we got the goal then never pressed on. Changes made too late, team selection wasnt right. Just a bad night all round.

If we can get over the line sunday, get some rest then have a free hit at the europa.

Sundays games is huge for Ole and the club. Arguably the biggest games in years and bigger than any domestic cup final thats for sure.

Suspect we will see a similar team. We need to go for it, sit back and it could end badly. First goal invites them onto us and that plays into our hands.

If he sets them up to draw he needs sacking.

has he £#%&! ..... most exciting team we have had for ages, would rather watch this team than any other since Fergies time.

A couple of influential players are running on fumes, back him with some funds this summer and we aren't a million miles away.

We are a million miles away. Anyone thinking otherwise is deluded. Unless we sign 2-3 top class players this summer we will remain a million miles away as well.

No one saying we are the finished article, we all know where improvements are needed.
For me the board needs to back the manager and let him sign who he thinks needs.
Weve come on leaps and bounds since Ole took over -m

We don't "know" for another 4 days tbf.

But if we do get top 4, our manager has done well and no amount of revisionism can take that away from him.

A couple of weeks ago I raised the issue of squad rotation, and how we’d need to keep the squad fresh given the high amount of games in such a short space of time.

This is where Ole has made some mistakes IMO. Fernandes and Rashford in particular look utterly £#%&!ed, and they’ve both started every recent game, in both the league and the FA Cup.

With 5 subs a game, we really should have rotated more, and kept players as fit as possible for the crucial run-in.
