Seems like there's a few posters who seem to hold the opinion that players aren't developing under Ole (I think this was touched on the pod on a few occasions).
What does the caf say?
Personally
Impressed:
McSauce
The Wall
Hamez
Beans
Martial (yes and no as he was never played by Mourinho that centrally)
Fred
Lindels (same as martial)
Andreas (yes and no as he lacks consistency but has shown glimpses of quality).
Clearly Regressed
Mata
Matic
Lingard
Jones
Young (at times yes and no)
Shaw (at times yes and no - usually when fit he improves)
I think the difference is that the players who are energetic and play at a faster pace have looked substantially better than those who play more in traditional Mourinho styles.
Our transition to attack from the back is probably the best in the league or close to it hence the reason we tend to open teams up quite easily. The discuss then is, while results are not stella, the list that has impressed has a ridiculously low average age and those are players who are not even close to their peak. You will always find inconsistency with young players and that sort of backs up our results this season. Flashes of brilliance amongst alot of average performances, but the worst performances are when we have relied on the players that have regressed under Ole. Is he actually doing a half decent job getting some form of a tune out of these players, considering the vast majority of experienced players in our squad have turned to absolute shit or are not playing?
