We should’ve been out of sight before Spurs started getting the better of us in fairness. We rode our luck second half though and weren’t good enough vs PSG once we’d had our forced subs Tuchels changes were spot on.
And in those 3 games against London’s 3 finest teams we’ve played 3, won 3, scored 5 and conceded 1... all away

He's juts a wum. Best ignored. Must be getting desperate for some attention though as that's the longest post I've seen him write.
one of the biggest turn arounds Ole has created is the new wave of optimism and expectation of United's supporters from the clouds of pessimism that the charlatan Mourinho hung over the club To see the magnificent Red army last night take over Stamford Bridge from beginning to end (Ironically in a Paris SG kind of a way) in an FA Cup game was reminiscent to the old days under Doc and Atkinson.
Wolves at Molineux was always also a Beano day out for the Red Army. Tickets for that game will be like gold dust.
Thanks Ole. You might just have saved our Club.
I reckon Ince would have won all our games if he was in charge. We would have done a lot of shooting.

He knows the game. He's managed at every level.
We weren't as bad as some seem to think at PSG. Enforced changes, especially two of them, cost us. We didn't have anyone to come in a replace them. Other decisions also didn't go our way.
If we had got a goal first and didn't lose both Lingard and Martial to injury, things could have turned out differently. Unlike PSG, we don't have class players to replace our world class players. Some would say we don't have any (outfield) World class players.
Still pleased with how well we have done.

Genuine question.
Have you guys even been behind in any of the matches in this run that you are on?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Burnley 2-0 down with 8 mins left. Salvaged a 2-2 draw.
Also the PSG obviously. But id say they are up there with City tbh. They kept the ball better than every team in the PL bar the massive club.

Yes, PSG have some real quality in midfield. I thought that we matched them in the first half. Once we lost Jesse and Martial it became a different game. Their defenders knew that they could push forwards another 10-15 yards and linked more with the midfield, which allowed them to retain possession a lot easier than before. I think that Ole perhaps made some mistakes with his substitutions, but I'll let him have that one considering the amazing job he has done so far.

While I see your point, that's a lot of ifs though.
True. But it comes down to those. Matches can change due to decisions going for you, injuries, etc. Their goal scorer for instance should have been off before he scored. He goes off for his second yellow, things change. We don't have the injuries, things change.
It's like that time Scholes goal against Porto was ruled out. If that wrong decision didn't happen, Porto don't win the CL and Jose's career could go very differently.

The only caution I'd like to add is we're still not controlling games. That will require work over the summer.
Avg. possession of 38% across Arsenal, Spurs, PSG and Chelsea games. We don't create enough chances nor is our defence resolute enough to carry us through.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Quite obviously, you can control a game - the actual football even - without having the lion's share of possession.
Last night was a perfect example. We dominated the game completely. We let the right Chelsea players have the ball in the right areas of the pitch.
They caused us few issues *because* we controlled the game.
