I could easily do a better job than Ole. And it's definitive room for improvement, with this current squad available. Like before the Wolves games.
If your mindset before the Wolves is to go out and dominate them. And you dont have an ideal nr.10, a cam. Then you should drop the nr.10 and go for 2 CF and start with Greenwood on top with Martial. The first thing you will imrpove the team.
Second it is the combination and line up you set up. Like music chords. Some chords suit and sound better with some chords than others chords. Same with players. Some players suit better with each others than with others. Then you have to know all the abilities of your players. To set up players who are been able to play quick and precise pass and movement football. Deliver the ball when you have to pass and take the extra touch if you have too. Right decisions most of the time of possible.
So back to the cam and nr.10. When you dont have an ideal nr.10 and you still use a nr.10. You are weakend the full packet of a football team. The strenght of the collective and combination of the set up players you start with. So if i am DOF and Woodward job and owner. Observing and evaluation. This is one of the factor that will count to end his contract. And using a weaken 4-2-3-1 formation is not the first time. Ole has use 4-2-3-1 formation from start of the season and until now. So if Woodward is doing his job and have this football knowledge about place the best players to every positions. So even Ole cant see it. How can you expect Woodward with close to zero football knowledge, can evaluate football manager decisions?It is here, the big factor. That the boss over Ole, the one who appoint and evaluate him. Has a really high level of ratings football players qualities and knowledge. If Woodward and the Owner and this case the Glazer. Really low footbball knowledge. Then its all down to luck and fate. Spend and waste your money until you drive your car of money until the ground. On the football side of business. United has spend and throw a lot money out of the window the last 5-6 years. Because the football knowledge of Woodward is not helping much + sentimental and rush appoitment of Ole right after the PSG victory. Who with neutral glasses, not watching with United glasses. Knew it was a lucky win against PSG. And after that PSG lucky with, the reality hit Woodward and United in the face.
It was 2 rush. Rush to appoint Ole as caretaker manager right after sacking Mourinho. And rush to appoint Ole permanent after PSG victory. Woodward after PSG victory: "Ole is the right man..." So if am the owner with really good football knowledge. I would not only blame on Ole, but Woodward too. And who really appoint Woodward in the first place?The boss of the boss. When you first want to change something negative to positive. You have to find the main roots of the problem. Cutting the grass on the surface will just help in short term, like appointed Ole as caretaker. Just short time solution, based on sentimental and positive energy. Then in short time the grass and problem will grow up again. In this case with United, because you havent destroy and find the main root of the problem.
So if the owner is smart and want to make money by qualifying to ch.league most of the years as possible and becoming a dominate and winning team again. The owner have to move Woodward from football relate jobs. Like Football CEO and negotiate of football transfer. If not i am thinking the Glazer will lost more money and they earn. Get the best football head and true leader you can get as Football CEO. A true leader, no sentimental and rush decisions, highest football knowledge as possible and do most right decisions as possible. No sentimental, but still seeing things clear and has the calmness and composure. To make the right decisions. Woodward is lacking many areas. But to end this. Woodward might be appoint my other, the owner. And we all have to apart what is job and private. Even he is doing a poor job, doesnt mean automatically he is a poor man, husband and human beeing in general life too. So no violent attack against every who has relate to United.
But again, back to the cam role and 4-2-3-1 formation. Ole get time factor on his side. Winters break and maybe Pobga and others important key players will come back to help the team to get better result. Like Pogba back and Bruno up as the n.10. But if Ole keep using Bruno as nr.10 and Mata, Perreira and Lingard as nr.10 and Greenwood on the bench most of the time or as right winger, not as one of the two CF upfronts. Ole might create his own path out of the Old Trafford. Same time when Van Gaal and Mourinho using wrong players for positions. Players has suit each others. You cant, on the highest level. Put 2 really good ball players + 3 average premier league level football players. Then naturallly the sum of it, your team will struggle. Not only once or twice. Like many times this seasons.
Example the line up could be like this against Wolves, due to the line up and sub that day:
De Gea + Bissaka - Lindelof - Maguire - Williams + Chong - Bruno - Fred - James + Greenwood - Martial.
So if, Pogba, McTom or Rashford will not come back to the next league game. United have nothing to loose now. A bit spinky Chong, but still fast and skill ful RW will not weakened the team so much. Chong is defintive a natural RW, compare to Greenwood and rest of the United squad. The most natural and highest pontential RW is Chong. If you dont trust Chong, then the next highest pontential RW is Greewood. Then with Ighalo arriving. The line up combination be like this.
De Gea + Bissaka - Lindelof - Maguire - Williams + Greenwood - Bruno - Fred - James + Ighalo - Martial.
Still with 2 CF and no cam/nr.10
But with Pobga back and with Bruno still. Then it is right time to use the cam and 4-2-3-1 formation. But you have to move Martial down as LW, because of his one on one skill. Like this.
Greenwood/Chong - Fred/McTom - Pogba - Martial + Bruno + Ighalo/Greenwood.
In the end. Greenwood is natural goalscorer. So use him as CF, to let the boy develop in the position where he is best. Then give Chong time to develop and show he is the one to go for that RW position, from now until the summer.
Sum up. Right and best players for every positions. If you have level higher than average, which is 3. 4 or above. Then drop it. To get the best out of the combination and line up you start with. If not, you are creating our own path out of the exit door of Old Trafford, as the permanent manager.
"Football is my home, street and passion."
