After the win against Fulham he said this:
Sure, we know that this team shouldn't be anywhere near the top without COVID/weak rivals/penalties, but it's there for the taking this season. Did Ranieri win the league with Leicester by sending out the message "hold up lads, don't get ahead of yourselves, you're actually a bunch of Championship cloggers and this is an unpredictable season"? No way he was decked out in cheerleading outfit egging them on, spreading positivity, kinda what Solkjaer was doing initially before becoming a glummy mummy ipad manager. His remarks aren't really that far off from Moyes telling his Sunderland squad that they'll be in a relegation struggle. It kinda showcases why this United side won't win anything under this defeatist manager. It's a shame that he wasn't binned off earlier this season as I think a Poch type manager would have put his arms around the players and say that he believes in them, let's go out there and win us some penalties.
Top of the league in late January and he says he and his team aren't even thinking about it. This isn't the first time he's played down the team's chances in the media in last two months. I think he's forgetting what team he's managing, this isn't one of Fergie's great teams, it's a team that has basically won nothing. I don't think this is the way to encourage them.It is always going to be talked about that when you are halfway through and top of the league but we are not thinking about this, we just have to go one game at a time. It is such an unpredictable season.
