#SOO Save Our Olé Season III.....Ole, The Trilogy.....We've Failed.....Thank You Ole.

Exactly - a masterclass in discipline and shape. Got to respect that...........
They only narrowly lost the 2nd half v liverpool and were disciplined and well-shaped in holding us to a 2nd half 0-0 draw so credit where it's due - there's a lot to build on there for young Olly.

It's almost like the dips & us are with the campaign to not massacre them to keep our man insitu, dips can't be trusted though and got carried away in their first half.
 
We've had big problems vs back 5s and Solskjaer has used it against us to good effect before as well as beaten us with 30% possession, so not like it was a terrible plan. The problem was the abysmal individual errors of Bailly, out of position and slow to react for first goal. Swap him out for Tarky or Craig Dawson and that cross is cleared with ease and it's a much harder game.

Going behind early like that puts all the training done out the window, especially against a team like ours, one of the best at ball hogging and playing into the space if you overcommit. Reinforces my thought that the first goal has too much weight in football now. Ole and Lampard want to play attacking football but if you get caught it's hard to come back, even someone like Pep has a poor record coming from behind. Think eventually you'll see the game reduced to 10 a side, pitch made bigger, time extended to 100 minutes or some combination of those.
 
I'm beginning to think hopes fading I and the best part of 3 thousand Mancunians sang our hearts out for Ollie, the tourists who are the life blood of the club just don't seem to buy into our campaign for the most part it was total silence.
