Good start Ole, lets keep it going. I don't expect the team to win all the trophies, I just want a better style of football and players who look like they enjoy playing
Whilst Cardiff didn’t play great and Warnock has never beaten United, the fact that is that we’ve been through 3 managers since we last scored 5 in the Premier League. So it’s a good day, for a change. Let’s not go overboard though.....
It must be SO hard to support them
Wow, the press were (rightly) saying it would be almost impossible for United to get 4th after being 11 points behind after so may games gone. Chelsea seem to be doing their best to make it happen though!
Although we weren't great in the 2nd half of the last two games, which isn't exactly concerning, but might need to change
Wherever we finish this season I actually feel like I'm watching Man U again. That hasn't happened so much since Fergie left. What does the future hold? Will Ole stay? Will we be any good next season? I have no clue, just enjoying it now.
We will lose at some point, but at least we are in the mix for 4th now.
Tactically though, I think OGS has been superb and IMO hasn't got the credit he deserves for the tactical changes he's brought to the team primarily changing the formation from JM's largely rigid 4-3-3 to a 2-4-1-3 or 2-4-3-1 (depending on how you see it)
I just want it to be fun again. I don't spend those two hours thinking about trophies.
*Of course I'd bloody love for utd to be competing again, I'm not making excuses etc... and believe we should do better
I spend a lot of time watching football with my friends and family, and irrespective of which teams are lining up we just want to watch some exciting and entertaining football.
Winning trophies are an important part of the game for supporters, but they are not everything. Of course an FA Cup Final day (and so on) is a really special part of the game for supporters, but there are other things eg seeing youth team players progress/the team progressing improving/crunching tackles/players dribbling with the ball, coming back from a goal down to get a last minute draw and so on.
The JM tenure was just such a cynical and dour time full of excuses, and the negativity on and off the pitch with the team had reached the viewers. For this moment in time I couldn't really care if the team finishes in the top 4 or doesn't win a cup, it's just enjoyable to see the team play some good football.
There are times when I miss the old England days of losing to most people but having some fun along the way.
Probably the best performance under Ole last night, he's starting to look more than just a feel good motivator but also very clever tactically (which is also probably down to his assistants as well). United used to concede possession under Fergie and play quick counter attack football when required, so to that end we are starting to look like the real United.
However, one niggle remains, if we get beaten how will the players react to him, how will they adapt to adversity?
I think Ole has to be favourite for the job, the way it is going most fans want him permanent but I think we need to lose at some point to see the whole picture, daft as it sounds.
I know I always do.
