I keep reading, as a fact, that the squad is ‘happier’ now than under its predecessor but honestly how much do people really think things have changed? I don’t doubt that things have improved since the dark days of Jose but where are we really?
VdB literally can’t get off the bench.
Bailly signed a contract then can’t get in ahead of the ghost of Maguire.
Telles is watching Shaw regress before all our eyes.
Lindelof is only in because Varane is out.
Pogba’s 15 minute cameo said it all
Ronaldo is already marching off the pitch muttering under his breath.
Cavani was convinced to stay despite rumours he was homesick & now can only play from the bench because Ronaldo ‘has to’ start.
Sancho has already been dropped like a bad habit.
Henderson was convinced to sign a new contract & is now behind a refocused DdG.
Lingard has gone from having the best 5 months he’s had in years back to the bench being harassed by the crowd.
I see a number of content players; AWB, Shaw, Maguire, McTom, Fred who know in spite of performances the manager can’t/won’t drop them but I stopped seeing joy in our performances some time ago.
Are we in a position again where if/when changes are made we need someone else who’ll need to play up to this current squads egos? Have we put squad ‘happiness’ on some pedestal because of how bad things got under Jose?
