Mourinho ended his second season with 82 points and even the dimmest of folk should have recognised that he was on the road out. The sensible lot among us called the abhorrent football out for what it was and were eventually proven to be right all along.
Likewise, it was increasingly obvious that Liverpool were turning into a team during the second half of the 17/18 season. They finished below us, but the progression in their football was obvious. Title fight the following season.
Neville is right on this occasion. Get the playing style and mentality right and the results will gradually improve. If we miss out on top four (and I don’t think we will) by a few points then I’m willing to accept that on the proviso I can still see a plan. At the moment, there’s a plan. Highlighted by the likes of Wan-Bissaka, Maguire and James coming into the team and looking like proper United players.
It’s a case of wait and see. It isn’t a case of looking at the league position and informing black or white decisions on that alone. Albeit I’m sure there are numpties who disagree....
Going back to 2017-18 season, I thought there was some progression in the first half of the season especially in August and September we played some clinical football, probably our best since sir alex retired. That helped us take a head start and we finished 2nd as a result of that. The second half of the season specially after the Sevilla game we regressed big time and that is why he should never have got a contract.
I agree it is not a case of black or white. I like so far what I have seen and I hope for the sake of the club and Ole we finish in top 4
