The players aren't doing what they're being taught. It's as simple as that. They feel they know better and he needs to accept this and just drop them. No reason to persist with them.
Well, no one knows that for a fact.
Maybe the players are simply incapable of playing "his way". They simply can't do it.
Drop them and play who ? The kids ? We are few in numbers with the departures and the few players coming in.
A good and smart manager needs to adapt to what he has and also, doesn't matter if you have the right ideas if you are unable to implement them to the players and on the pitch.
Many of the current issues were here a long time ago and ETH hasn't addressed them sooner. It's like the past, the pre-season and the training sessions never existed and he landed at Man Utd 1 week ago.
He needed 2 defeats to realize what was here for so long.
I mean our incapacity to press, to run, to win physical duels, to close down opponents, to pass, to move into channels and the list go on, were patched with a back-up no10, a young unproven dutch wing back and a short, overpriced CB (when we had 4 options there already). My questions is....where the hell are the CM's???
