Not really. That's what your insecure mind that isn't able to respond wants to think. As I've already explained and you've again struggled to comprehend, we were always capable of keeping the ball well as well. You don't achieve squat being a one note team. Same goes for bayern Madrid barca and every other successful club. Even Mourinho s Madrid liked counter attacking but could control games well.
And yes having better players helps but isn't a necessity in implementing a system. You want more examples, see Leicester.
You are sounding like Steve Nicol from ESPN .
The reality is United are no longer title contenders, we are Arsenal of Wenger's ending years. As long as Glazers are sucking the club, our aim would be to get into champions league and finish top 4.
I know you wish us to be as dominant as we were back then, and seems like some people are mistaking your "game control" with possession based football, but as long as our counter attacking system is working, we can't really complain. Our manager is a counter attacking one, we can't except him to become a someone versatile. Plus sacking him to get a "proper top class coach" is useless, because this club has regressed and that is the reality. Every manager will require atleast a good 3-5 years in this team. So either we sack Ole now and bring in a coach and give him 5 years without crying for title in first year itself, or let us give time to Ole, to get a squad he needs, to reach his system's peak.
Anyways the problem is not finishing in general, but lack of goals from players who were scoring last year, Martial and Greenwood, who had excellent seasons last year, need to step up now. Rashford always have had a sitter missing in him, but hope with time he shows more clinical finishing in tight matches.
