I think we have struggles as a club to move into the modern era of football.
We are blessed with history and the Fergie Era and are clinging desperately on to past glory.
We were on top, we were good and we knew it. We had challengers and we rose to it and always, without fail battled to the end. If we lost, we lost with dignity and had a plan in place to adapt and get back on top.
We have totally lost our identity and structure and can no longer claim to be an elite performer. Mentality and application is missing and we don't have a structure as a Club that is comparable to our rivals. We have been left behind.
It starts from behind the scenes, from the owners down.
The Glazers are not perfect, but there is always money to spend.
Ed - should be nowhere near footballing decisions and we are all aware of this.
Coaches - While we have good coaches, I don't think we have world class coaches anymore.
Manager - Ole needs time, he's got several managers worth of players in there right now, most of which have underperformed for some time.
So the DOF needs addressing.
Why all this detail?
We are rotton from the top chief to the players.
Why are the fanbase toxic towards our players? Because of the drivel we are watching. Simple as.
Sub par performances, sub par effort. Our players used to be role models, play with confidence and finesse. Our players would always give 110% regardless.
Our current lot are a shambles. Regular 5/10 performances. Being a Manchester United player should be something to be extremely proud of, today its not. Social media seems more important to some of them than what goes on on the pitch. I repeat, a shambles.
While we watch this drivel, we have Spurs, City, Liverpool playing some amazing football. The standard of the Premier league is so high with majority of teams having some real quality. Its so easy to be caught and made to look average. (See Pogba stood there while Cardiff players run past him for a tap in). Being complacent just isn't good enough.
I, as a utd fan actually find the likes of Lingard an appalling ambassador for our club. Yes, he's been here a long time, through the ranks, I get it. But he isn't good enough as a footballer to be in our squad, let alone team!
The fact a lot of our players have been here so long while degressing is frustrating.
Young - Signed as an attacker, squad player when signed. Now captain and 1st choice full back. Not good enough!
Jones/Smalling/Darmian/Rojo/Lingard = Not improved over time, not going too. All surplus to requirements.
Matic/Sanchez = Stop gap signings that haven't worked = need selling
Pogba = Massive flop. Divides opinion. Easy to hate, easy to love. Marmite, but performance wise not good enough!
Ole needs time to sort this mess, like I said above he has 4 managers worth of players in there.
We are toxic because we demand the best.
