I feel like VdB did nothing to warrant bring substituted and would have been 10x better than jlingz in every midfield position.

What the hell was ole thinking? Parking the bus against a farmers league team that we should've easily beaten even with 10 men, absolutely clueless management.

All the stats are coming out for Ole in the CL. Hes only won 13% of his champions league games. Hes lost 13% of our total CL losses whilst only managing for 4.5% of them. He hasn't won a single CL game without the help of a penalty.

Taking Donny off and leaving Fred on was the single stupidest decision of the night, I was literally shouting at the T.V at that point.

Incredibly small sample size and mostly against top teams. Also the last point isn't true. We thrashed Leipzig and were 3-0 up I think when we scored a penalty, we didn't need it at all.
It isnt a small sample size at all. The tweet by Opta is :
13% - Manchester United have lost seven of their 11 UEFA Champions League matches under Ole Gunnar Solskjær. 13% of their total defeats in the competition have come under Solskjær (7/54), despite the Norwegian only being in charge for 4.8% of their matches (11/231)
There's no defending that.

Its the champions league. Thats kind of the idea of it.... We are (in theory) a top team. We should have a better win rate than 13%.
Oles just a crap manager when it comes down to it. Decent at signing players, decent at man management and massively below par everywhere else. The low expectations of some of our fans despite our massive spending is amazing.
Either way I'm done. I've written the same thing about Ole for the past 2 seasons and nothing looks like changing. I'll still watch our games when I can but I can't be bothered arguing about Ole any more. Fans of every other team think hes a joke.

Lost 7 out of 11? That's not right, surely? Fergie should smack him around the head with a boot if it is.

I mean those games are
PSG - 4 games
Lepizig - 2 games
Barca - 2 games
Istanbul - 2 games
Young Boys - 1 game
Nobody would be expecting us to beat PSG or Barca, Leipzig were semi finalists the year before and we went even with them. The problem was the dropped points to Istanbul (which was an individual error) and tonight which was two individual errors.

Carrick would've done a better job in midfield than Fred tonight if he came out of retirement to play, I'm not even joking.
I trust Opta to be correct tbh

I still think we will have a good 21/22. Muellers got one.

When we lost our away game last season to the whipping boys it cost us our champions league progression...

If Barca were playing in red or blue they could easily be mistaken for Koeman's Southampton or Everton.

Bayern are looking pretty handy against Barca.
Was about to say they are overplaying it and Muller just sticks one in from outside the box.
