@Bastian to still be blaming Moyes and Van Gaal for our ills two years into a regime which has spent nearly half a billion pound is a cowards way out.
What makes it worse is that his own signings are letting him down the most.. the two worst performers are Pogba and Sanchez, the former who looks depressed under his management.
So let's look at those first before we start blaming past purchases especially when one of his favourites is the out of depth Fellaini who he has been begging to stay - so much for being trusted to conduct a clear out of previously poor signings.
Our start was vastly overblown - it was recognised by many that we were benefiting from some very flattering score lines which masked how fortunate we were in certain games where we lacked cohesion and were stumbling upon individual moments. Nevertheless points were rolling in and no one minded too much until Anfield where it was the first exposure of how something wasn't quite right from a tactical perspective and the first proper insight into Mourinhos lack of footballing identity.
Since the game, we've flitted in and out of games, resolutely picking up points with a lot of luck thrown in and the odd game where we have played well. Funnily enough whenever we have had a excellent performance (Arsenal, Everton and Liverpool) - it's been the manager whose then gone on to change the system or personnel, only for us to then lose the momentum garnered from that win.
If I had full control I'd bin him right away. I'd then draw up a list of players who also need to follow him and the sort of players who would desert any manager and just aren't up to it. They would go too in the summer early doors.
Obviously then appoint a new manager but attacking methodology would be the first thing I look for and Champions league experience. That would be the prerequisite.
