couldn't disagree more to be honest - with what he inherited and what he's spent we should be playing much better and with some sort of plan - I am not expecting us to be champions - just to play with some coherence and to be frank, he's wasted lots of the money he's been given£350m is shit these days to be honest. It’s the equivalent of 1 Neymar + 1 Coutinho. Considering the squad Jose inherited was so hapless, it’s ridiculous to think £350m would be enough to make the jump from 5th to league champions.
we've spent that huge sum of money and we still went into the cup final with Young and Valencia as fullbacks. He signed two CBs and Lindelof has barely played and Bailly was dropped for the last month of last season.
Lukaku scored more at Everton...Pogba was better at Juve....Mhiki was better at Dortmund and has already said he's happier at Arsenal. Sanchez was pish.....You could argue that the only signing who has performed is Matic in his defensive role.
It's not about individuals though - it's about a team that doesn't play as a team and is disfunctional.
I don't accept that he hasn't been backed well enough - he took players who aren't performing but we are talking about international players - they aren't guys playing in the Sunday league - the team hasn't played well - we were 6th for shots on target last year and 6th for expected goals - just ahead of Bournemouth and Palace...we're certainly not getting value for the investment made in the team.
so the excuse that he hasn't been backed enough doesn't cut it for me......
if you look at Klopp - from day 1 he has played a certain way and window by window he has improved the players in each position - at the minute all they need is another CB and I think they would push City hard - you don't get that feeling with United at all and Jose best days at United are behind him I feel.
