Yes, the job was too big for Moyes and LVG just didn't have the energy left. But, the other things you said are fine for second level teams, not United. United is like the Yankees, every season they go for the quadruple.
United are like the Yankees yes, but if there's anything I've learned in the city of Manchester is that, that team builds from the ground up as much as humanly possible. I'm not saying we won't splash the cash when we need to, cause we do, but historically overall, we don't spend spend spend like everyone else.
I just don't get it. You'd think the players he gets would be for his system but when he gets them he tries to make them do things that aren't their strengths. That's totally opposite to the way he managed before when he got players that his system enhanced their strengths. And despite many players saying he's the best they ever had, I think his weird behavior is scaring some players away.
City just had one of those seasons and there's nothing you can do about that, but losing to the newly promoted teams and that trainwreck against Roma are troubling.
Yea his player selection has been questionable to say the least, but I always wanted to give three seasons to figure it out. This is it now. Year #3. He better get this shit right and lift some trophies or he's gonna have some explaining to do.
I'll wait for 1) if they can sign D'Gea, and 2) who they get this summer but I see signs that teams have figured out his tactics. We'll see.
De Gea isn't going anywhere regardless of the lure of Madrid. He grew up a United fan and wanted to emulate Peter Schemiehel his entire life so that's a wash. Plus Mourinho knows he's the best in the world in his position. If De Gea wanted to go, it would've been happened by now.
As you stated earlier, we need midfield invention cause we lack severely in that area. Another CB won't hurt either cause Jones simply handed Hazard that penalty on a platter.
Still can't believe Southgate chose him over Smalling for Russia.
