That’s an emotional comment based off the back of a poor game against Burnley. Much like everything littered over the media. Which was horrendous no doubt, but a matter of weeks ago, we tore city apart away from home, in what was probably the best post fergie display of football we’ve had. So don’t tell me Ole isn’t capable of getting a tune out of this squad.
What really gets me is you look at the teams around us, Chelsea have been very poor recently. Spurs nearly dropped points the other night at home to Norwich! Yet Lampard and Jose aren’t getting strung up in the media. I see comments like “it’s an embarrassment, worst team in 30 years, etc” all over the news...Ok so for the past 7 years, we’ve been exactly where we are right now, between 4th-7th, excluding one season when we finished 2nd, miles behind city. Add to that, pogba has played, what 5-6 games, martial was out for months, mctominay has been out for ages, now rashford out for ages. All massively key players, in a paper thin team.
the bottom line is we’ve been poor in recruitment. Reports on sky, Fernandes deal was almost done and we suddenly decide to knock 10 mil off what we agreed cause they are strapped for cash, to try and get him on the cheap. Great move Ed! Lukaku saying Jose never got the players he wanted...report after report of interest in players with nothing ever coming to fruition. That all falls firmly with Woodward and Matt Judge.
