Personally, I think we’ve been pretty poor with the occasional decent performance that goes against the trend or against very poor opposition but that’s just me and that does coincide with Rashford being out.
This isn’t really the thread for this but my only gripe is that we were never going to win the EL with this squad but we pushed deep anyway, lost a bunch of players to long term injuries because we played the same first 11 for 20 games over two months, and then eventually went out playing the team we should have played from the start. I think that is poor squad management.
All the while the top 4 is still to play for. We took a massive step last weekend and I think we’ll make it now but it was much tighter previously.
Fair comments.
I disagree slightly with the run of form. Bar the odd game I feel we have been good, just as you say injuries are catching up slightly.
Rashford and Bruno out hindering our attacking threat somewhat, and a completely new back four near enough.
I think the manager has rotated well personally, maybe there has been the odd occasion whereby Casemiro or Bruno could have come off earlier but by and large the fact that fatigue hasn't seemed to be an issue until this deep into the season is testimony to how the coaching staff have looked after the players.
A loss on Sunday can of course change perspective slightly, but only by a bit, as long as top four is also achieved.
