I think the most worrying/frustrating/puzzling thing with United at the moment is that Jose is now in his THIRD SEASON with the club, yet they look like he's only just taken over and are all still getting to know each other. 3 years in and the side has no identity, no tactical plan, no "philosophy" as our dearly departed King Louis would say (and at least his side
had an identity, lobotomising though it may have been). I don't know what Jose and his staff must do all week in between games, because it sure as gooseberry fool doesn't look like they work on actually playing a particular system or to a structured gameplan. I just don't get it.
He's had over THREE HUNDRED MILLION pounds to spend, yet he chooses to leave £50m Fred on the bench when Matic is clearly playing on fumes. He leaves £30m Bailly on the bench, relying instead on the now-28-year-old Smalling, who isn't going to suddenly become the next Ferdinand. Smalling has had ONE good season for United, under LVG, he should have been sold years ago.
I could rant about this for ages but will leave it there for now.
