Come on, we had some very good matches in the end of the season (parking the bus agains Palace apart). Maybe he could develop a good style next season bringing in the players we need. You can hope for miracles when we have Winks and Sissoko in the midfield.
"but attacking he relies a lot on players pulling something out of their arse" So it is ok to have attacking players that cannot think for themselves and attack? What the f is wrong with you? Do you think he went to Drogba and say backheel here and shoot here? Drogba is a beast because he can hold defender(s) and can score.I think defensively he is an excellent coach, but attacking he relies a lot on players pulling something out of their arse. At least the last few games we’ve looked like we’ve been working on a counter attack strategy, rather than hoping Kane or Son screams one in
One need to consider that Thiago Motta was bizarrely sent off after 25 minutes. Forget the game plan. Forget the possibility to counter - like they did at San Siro, winning 3-1.The way inter played against Barca in the second leg of their cl tie was disgusting.
I literally don’t understand a word of this"but attacking he relies a lot on players pulling something out of their arse" So it is ok to have attacking players that cannot think for themselves and attack?

In 2017-18, Utd came 2nd to City.
They scored 68 and let in 28 (GD +40), we came third scoring 74 whilst conceding 36 (GD +38).
We both played drab football? Or is the Mourinho 'boring football' tag purely a myth?

I think most people are basing it from our last season at the Lane, we played some sexy football that season and i still cant believe with that team we didnt win anything!I swear most people who are the most vociferous about the entertainment of football, hardly sit through 90 minutes of a match.
I would love to know how many of those people who are obsessed with how good our football was under Pochettino, be it fans or pundits, actually watched very minute of every match. I bet most barely ever did. If they did, they'd know how appalling we were sometimes. 950 passes in the middle of the pitch with 85% possession isn't good when the opposite keeper never sees the ball.
Which was actually a long time ago now. We went down the pan after that season.I think most people are basing it from our last season at the Lane, we played some sexy football that season and i still cant believe with that team we didnt win anything!
