Hv we become the victim of our own success ?? a question that has been bothering me for quite a while now and especially obvious since last season ...
Overall I think there have been things that we could do previously but not anymore nowadays ...
(1) in transfer - we are too "famous" to hold the tag of richest soccer club in the world that nobody else will do a "decent" deal with Man Utd when come to transfer ... If a player is rated 10mil .. it'll just come out as 15mil often .. Not really a fair playing ground anymore I say ..
(2) Young players ... we are no more in a mode to produce good youngsters and give them chances ... The team success is too much a concern to the team now nobody would want to bet for anything less .... Unless we put some youngsters on the subs. bench for every league game and send them on when it's 3-0 up ... But well, how often we are 3-0 nowadays ??
Unlike the days with Giggsy and Becks where we are in transition phase ... pity the youth really ..
(3) Media exposure ... the players have come too much under the media their life seems to be very disturbed .. but luckily for this context we are a bit better with some likes of Leeds team
(4) Burden to success + the loss in appetite to keep it up ... I think our players are a bit fatigue to end the whole season nowadays ... they are no more the 21yr old young chaps ... their body has started to come down after 6-7 years exposure to high intense games ....
We really need to do something abt this ... before we go down after a "cycle" like everybody else are predicting now ... We could onnly avoid this with some good work and planning ...
