I think all of us fans know that the style of play (or lack thereof) has been a problem for a while. If you play good football, you'll win games and your house is built on solid foundations.
Our play is disjointed and something is deeply wrong with how we are approaching coaching. We should be playing as a team, with a consistent and pleasing tactical identity.
Instead on the pitch it's like most of our players have never met. We play 4-2-3-1 rigidly and wonder why nothing improves. Try a 4-3-3 or a 3-5-2 or a 4-4-2 or something, anything to mix it up.
It's not all on OGS. We've got too many "head down selfish players" (Rashford, Martial, Greenwood), CMs who can't pass (McFred), an inconsistent Pogba and Bruno who for all his strengths tries a lot of stuff that doesn't come off.
I'd love to see us control possession and break down teams with good passing and effective tactics.
This doesn't seem possible with our current personnel or leadership. Carrick and McKenna need to go, they're nonentities and part of the problem. We need 2 CMs that can pass, and a creative wide player. I'm not sure OGS is the proper coach and tactician we need either. There's no quick fix.
