Their squad has nothing like the quality depth that the other squads around them have. Seriously, they have done really well considering. There is an amusing desire to find anything possible to kick Ange with in this thread. Lots of silence in this thread until the press conference a day ago and then this result. Lots of silence while they are winning.
However here they are 2 points of the top 4 and with a +17 GD . Going by some of the stuff in here you would think they have had a very poor season. I think they have done well when considering all the things that have happened this season.
They don't need a particularly deep squad though, which is precisely the point I was making. We didn't need one in 2014/15, Liverpool didn't need one in 2016/17, and Spurs don't need one now.
They've done better than I expected them to do, but is it really a surprise that this thread, on a Manchester United forum, is quiet when they're doing alright, but gets bumped after they squander an opportunity to go fourth by getting battered by Fulham? Do you police the RAWK and Bluemoon goes into meltdown threads in his manner?
I don't really get the clamouring for this guy. Ten Hag is bashed for playing football that's not sustainable long-term, but Big Mate is apparently to be praised for playing football that is obviously not sustainable long-term?
Unless he changes something, they're going to get found out massively next season when they've got to balance European football and the league.
