Matic is one of Mourinho's favourite players and signings. Only fitting if he is the reason he end up getting sacked. His blindspot over Matic is going to cost him his job at some point.
He keeps banging on about the CB he never got but it's his midfield that is costing us. Matic never releases the ball forward. Doesn't track runners. He is hopelessly in decline. And some of you wanted us to sign Willian too. Aging players that are only going to get worse. Two seasons in and we already need to replace Matic. Great business.
I don't like a lot of things about Woodward or the club. But the policy to sign young players for big money that have resale value is just common sense. That's why Mourinho's signings got blocked. But they also got blocked because he didn't prove he could actually improve anyone he has already signed. Had he been getting a tune out of half the player he bought in, the club might have said fair enough, but he hasn't. We look uncoached. Anyone who thinks one CB fixes this team is frankly deluded.
Fred, £52m summer recruit: on bench throughout, despite Pogba injury. Bailly: nowhere to be seen. Sanchez: bench. I could go on. Bailly/Lindelof starts together at CB in 18 months? TWO!!!
