That was precisely my point, players can't be arsed. About lacking talent, well we have spent a lot. Maybe we thought players would turn up when required but they don't. If I were to lose a game, I'd happy to do it with Lingard, McT and Rashers in the team rather than others. It actually has come to the point that losing with Pogba/Sanchez/Lukaku in the team hurts so much and except Lukaku, I can't see anyone going for it. I mean I myself wanted Morata before and I'm happy to admit that Lukaku is a better fit for us as he is ready to battle. Saw it last night, saw it before as well. Players need to take the blame, it can't be Jose everytime. He has won everything, I mean come on.
He has his ego, I agree but our most successful manager had that ego where he said some great stuff. There are so many who look crap, yeah but Bailly aside as he has been injured so much, I only see Lindelof as the only signing he made who isn't mentally strong. Zlatan was, Pogba was a given with the history, binned Mkhi aside, Matic, Lukaku. Smalling, Jones, Young, Darmian, Mata, Martial, Shaw, Valencia that's like 4 of our starting XI there atleast. He wanted Perisic, didn't get him. Expressed his anger back then as well.
I look at Shaw/Valencia - I don't know what they bring, I mean come on, doing ok defensively but no threat going forward. If you play a reserve player there, I think he can perform the same. They aren't exceptional in defence and have zero threat going forward. Valencia just pass the ball to Smalling if he is under pressure and Shaw dribbles and passes back to Matic or Martial, why not go for the cross? Coz when he tries to do that, he hits the first person defending.
This is my last post for the day but if I can say, please back the manager. We are going in the right direction, don't be so much negative. Please.
