He had a far healthier squad. And even in the games he best Pep we relied on some luck (as we always do). He wasn't anything special, just like Ten Hag isn't special vs Liverpool despite having 2 wins and 1 draw vs them at OT.
We were far better against big clubs than the shit show every week this season.
Also no, it's not luck. You are saying he had healthier squad, EtH had first first team with only 2 players missing and was outplayed by Coventry. EtH being shit has very little to do with injuries.
2019-20 Vs City 2-1 - We had players like James, Lingard, Fred, McT, Maguire, Lindelof starting. We missed our most creative player Pogba and if Im not wrong Matic too.
2019-20 vs City 2-0 - We switched to 3 ATB and had Williams as LB, again Pogba was injured and missed the game, Rashford was injured. We had James, Fred, Williams as our starting players.
2019-20 vs City lost 3-1 in league up - We had Andreas Pereira as CM, lingard as AM, James as RW, Williams as LB, Jones as CB
Won return leg 1-0 with Williams as LB , Fred and Matic CM pair, Lingard as AM. Rashford missed the game with injury.
2020-21 vs City drew 0-0 - We had full team with players like McT, Fred as CM, Maguire Lindelof as CB,
2020-21 vs City won 2-0 away -McT and Fred CM pair, James as RW.
Lost 2-0 vs City in league cup.
Ole had far weaker squad but set up team much better than the clown show this season. Not that I want him back as care taker manager but we were lot better under him than EtH. EtH is just clueless, only thing that's going for him is his reputation.
