Something popped up in my YouTube feed today, "Manchester United's Top 10 Premier League Comebacks".
I watched it, and while I disagree with some of the picks, something struck me.
First, it's easy to forget just how good our teams in the 2000's were, but importantly they believed they could win from any position, and frequently did.
That is not just the players, it was in every aspect of the club from the manager down, and that is what we miss most. For those saying its the players, in this video, you have O'Shea chipping a goalie at Highbury, he played throughout a successful period, and he was never a patch technically on most of the squad we have now. But he had belief.
If I could sum up everything we need to find again, it is the last match in this video, coming back from 2-0 down against spurs.
On the pitch at the same time, we had Rooney, Ronaldo, Berbatov and Tevez. We won 5-2.
No manager we have had since then, Ole included, would stick an attacking line up like that on the pitch to chase a game.
That is what we are missing I think.
