Getting back to topic;
It is ever possible to speak positively about a win?
Yes definitely, the start of the season was great, room for improvement in performances but it was the beginning of the season and we were scoring at will, not only Lukaku but other players to, the future looked so bright. As fans we were on cloud 9, this might be our year, Mourinho was letting the horses run, there was a certain determination/pace in our attack, a true purpose. The players were enjoying this new freedom to express themselves our biggest complaint/discussion was should we start with Rashford or Martial.
Then Pogba got injured, Fellaini subbed him and we didn't even know he was missing that day. After that came the Liverpool game, players that had been playing attacking football running free to do as they pleased to win get instructed to park the bus in to rows of red against a team with one of the leakiest defences in the league. This was the true moment to really stick it to them, but no defend at all costs was the instruction, try to snatch it and otherwise a point would suffice. That was the day something broke in the team and the players and to be honest since that day Mourinho has made a 180 degree turn when it comes to tactics and trust in the capabilities of his team. Since that day the team have lost their swagger and confidence and have not recovered. The goals have dried up, our assist king can't even make the team, individual performances have dropped and the football has been dire to watch. It is one thing to grind out results against the big teams but when you have to do it against teams like Southampton, Bournemouth and WBA fans get discouraged. Our solid defence have been leaking silly goals at set pieces and confidence seems to be at an all time low. The hangover of the City game still seems to hang over the team I really hope that once Pogba comes back he can lift the team but don't expect to much as this is a team sport and cannot expect him to carry the team.
