Watching Utd at times this season hasn't actually been a lot more entertaining than when LVG was in charge. Without doubt we we're very poor all over the pitch and we made some terrible player purchases during his era and I for one thought he should have gone 6 months prior to when he did.
I'm gonna stick my head out on the block and repeat part of that last statement:
Without doubt we we're very poor all over the pitch NOW
So how have we progressed?
Well we now have a much more formidable spine, some world class players, on paper a very good team.
So why are we playing so badly and almost LVG like?
Our Utd 'identity' seems to have way gone. No wingers, no attacking play. Pep has City playing with their own identity as does Poch at Spurs. I felt like we have no identity even though JM has been here 18 months. But it dawned on me, perhaps our identity is to play tight and grind out results with no entertainment value at all.
At the minute Jose seems like a one trick pony, with no tactic nous to sort things out. I just cant understand why this guy, with all his experience and trophies, is actually doing what LVG did, namely nothing. We are just banging away with the same formation, playing the same dour football. The fans are now mega frustrated, everybody calling for the 433 to get the best out of Pogba but nothing changes. If the football continues like this the fans will be calling for Jose head by the end of the season.
I'm happy to keep Jose for 1 more season, let him buy the players he thinks he needs this summer and see how we go but surely the football needs to improve.
Thoughts?
