So far, we were heading into right direction. For me, when Jose took the job, the most challenging aspect of the job was there was a big discrepancy between the ability of the team and the expectations. After taking the job, he has improved us vastly, made us way better, and made some excellent signings. Now, if we look at our squad, there is a decent group, although there are few shortcomings and some players are overrated too.
But now, in recent games, there is certainly a concern regarding our performances. I do not care if we are still getting result, but looks like performances are bad and so are results, thats concerning. LVG did a good job in his first year, at least that's what i think, but on his second year, he failed to make any progress and we actually regressed. I am hopeful that it is not the case with Jose. I understand that we are still at our rebuilding process, but we cannot keep swinging back and forth.
I desperately wanted us to sign Sanchez, but if the decision was to play him in his favored LW position, that is piling up players in one position while ignoring other more immediate neccesities in the team. Martial and Rashford are much more limited than Sanchez, and hence it makes more sense to try Sanchez in number 10/RW position. I also could not make sense of signing Lindelof, if we were not going to play 3 at the back.
But ONe thing very good about Jose is, when things are not working well, he sees it and makes changes. Yes, he has pragmatic style which he does not let go, but other than that, he sees things if it is not working out and fixes it.
