I get that but did you say the same when Klopp took over Liverpool? I am not saying Ole is as good as Klopp, I'm saying you have to give him talent to see if he can be.
And again, to me it goes back to missing that threat in the 10. Lower teams will sit back and try and catch you on a counter or lucky break when playing top teams. Like United did vs City and Tottenham. But when you are the "higher team" and have all the possession you need that player to unlock the D with a creative pass or beating a player 1v1. United have been missing that. They have lacked vision, proper runs and shots with Lingard and Pereira in the 10. Never going to break down a parked bus with those 2 as evident by Pogba's intro to the game yesterday. Before Pogba they had like 2 good chances in 60 mins, and then 7 in the 30 mins after he come on.
Next up through Jan: Newcastle, Burnley, Arsenal, Wolves (FA Cup), City (LC), Norwich, Liverpool, Burnley, City (LC).
Obviously City and Liverpool will be different games. Not sure how Arsenal will play but should be beatable. But the rest will sit back and bunker in. Play Pogba in the 10 in front of McT and Fred and see what happens. Will prove one of us to be right.
