There's no excuse for our performances really. Like the OP says, the squad is talented.. It might not be 11 world beaters, but I'd go as far as to say 7 of our best starting 11 are excellent. Does anyone really think that DDG, AWB, Maguire, Lindelof (slight question marks), Shaw, Pogba, Martial and Rashford are simply not good enough players?? Then we have James - a young talent we all like. Greenwood, who's very capable. Dalot, Young, Mata, McTominay... Experience and youth.
Yes, we're lacking in midfield. So what. I continue to think we're not some unique club. We're well funded and have some of the best facilities on the planet. Train good players well and we'll play well. It's not rocket science. Pogba isn't walking out onto the pitch thinking "is Ed really the man to run the club...". He's kicking a ball for a feck-ton of money.
It's all coaching. Jose exaggerates how poor we were to protect his image. Moyes was sabotaged by Rio and co (but shouldn't have been offered the job in the first place), LvG was a good idea which didn't work out. Jose did pretty well but played Jose football and didn't sign the right sort of player to implement his force-of-will style football. Sure, they're all different styles of coach, but as we've seen countless times at other clubs - a new coach can transform a team overnight. They're just footballers.
Get rid of Ole - he's utterly clueless. He's the problem for me. Is the squad good enough to win the league? No. Is it good enough to dominate in Belgrade? It bloody well is.
