It’s clear this current United side is hardly vintage, especially when compared against some of our great teams.
That said, should a line up with De Gea, Wan B, Maguire, Pogba (when back), Martial and Rashford be so utterly joyless on the pitch?
I don’t want to be overly simplistic about it, but we have the quality to be outperforming most of the league – there’s only really Liverpool and City who are miles ahead of the pack.
From about 08/09 through to 12/13, we were a counter attacking, well drilled defensive team. From the moment, SAF retired, we have gone through several managers and generally been absolutely miserable to watch bar the odd spell.
Is the truth that, as a club, we have no intention to be expansive?
This isn’t just another Feed Me knee jerk – I am genuinely nonplussed as to how such an expensively assembled squad at a club with supposed heritage can consistently serve up rubbish football. We are amongst the worst five teams in the league to watch from an entertainment perspective.
What enables lesser clubs to adopt an attractive style of play in the near term, yet we are always told to be patient and wait for the transition?
Is there too much pressure?
I personally don’t buy the whole DoF thing as being the complete problem. Clearly we could do with a better hierarchy, but has that really stopped us adopting an attractive style? I don’t think so.
United, an attacking team – one of the best myths ever.
Apologies for the directionless thread, but I just don’t understand how we are quite so shit. We literally never play really well.
