Nobody is saying Ole is SAF. Didn’t Martial get sent off that game against Tottenham?
Individuals dragging the team over the line .... you sure you’re not talking Tottenham? Lmao
True but remember Mou used to get the better of SAF ..
And I really just mean those types of assured performances.
Ole's Man Utd == "Moments FC".. Quick rush, attack and score. Even misfiring Man City outplayed us by controlling the game (something which we barely ever do).
That is why the really good teams (and even lesser teams who can control games) will more often than not beat us, and that is what will thwart Ole's ambitions.
It is why we fell at four semis so far. That is why we got booted from the champions league. Anyone can lose a game but we lacked control and were totally outplayed (in a structural sense) against PSG and Leipzig.
Even the earlier games against PSG and Leipzig were smash-and-grab wins.
Yes Martial got sent off but it was already 2 - 0 and they were outplaying us.
Fluid football, metronomic football, structured patterns of play - with Ole in charge these things will remain a dream.
