No. What I’m suggesting is that coaching here is so bad it turns players to shit. And no amount of fancy words are going to change what our eyes are seeing. We can’t pass every well for example. And it’s been that way for awhile.
You could have described it better, but you're correct and of course people will not want to admit it.
The people saying Lingard is a counter-attacking player don't get that that's the point. The whole point is to put players in positions where they will succeed. The same way we won't play Mata when we need pace and power vs City, why would we not play Lingard in situations where his strengths are emphasized?
Take Lukaku. Everyone knows he's not a target man. Touch and holdup play are shite. So what do we do when we buy him? Play him as a lone target man where he needs to show top level touch and holdup play. Pogba never showed the defensive nous to be a DM in a midfield 2, so what do we do when we buy him? Play him in a midfield 2 constantly, ignore his occasional top performances in 3, and never even buy an adequate DM to play alongside him. Lingard has never shown himself to be someone who can be relied on as the (first choice) creative player, so what do we do? Make his position the most important creativity wise
ahead of Pogba who is busy sitting back as a DM. Donny came from a team where the creativity comes from the system and individual brilliance is not as needed, so what do we do when we buy him? Play him in the position where individual brilliance is most necessary for us. And many, many more examples.
These decisions we make just don't make sense and don't get the best out of obviously talented but not world class players. So while it may not be the "coaching" exactly that's bad, I 100% agree that the decision-making of the club definitely has been bad going back a whooping 4 managers now. Each manager has had the things they get right of course, but at the end it's always been these glaring mistakes that eventually take them down.
