Our success has always been tied to scoring goals:
SAF: Lots of goals, okay defense -> Trophies galore
Moyes: Few goals, okay defense -> Sacked
LVG: Few goals, good defense -> Sacked
Mourinho: Few goals, great defense -> Outside top 4
You can see the correlation here. Football style and tactics are irrelevant, if you score goals fans will be happy and you will win games. Zlatan and Pogba have had more than 50% of our scoring chances and have a 13% and 5% conversion rate. You won't win the title, let alone make the top 4 if you can't score goals.
What should Mourinho do differently? I personally think he should be challenging the team to score 3+ goals every game against a weaker side and consider anything else a failure. No more, "every match is difficult and we only need to score 1 more than the other team" BS.
