Come on, cheer up a bit. Three points!
I don’t think there is anything in this idea that we have no system. It’s arguable that SAF never had a system you can easily describe. We scored goals in all ways and conceded them in all ways. We had better players is the main difference.
The players we’ve got are not amazing at all. We have some good players but they would not get into most of SAFs teams.
That said, we are rusty and will get better. We were a bit rubbish today but we still won and what a finish to the game. I’m happy. (I won’t be happy if we don’t get better but that’s for another day).
SAF had a system. With Cole and York it was York dropping deep. We had Becks on the right who is not a winger but a midfield player who doesn't get to the byline. Giggs can but you normally see him starting on the touchline and coming inside.
We had a midfield of Keane and Scholes and we know the way each player has to play.
There has to be a set way to play in general and positional play within the framework.
This why we rely on individual players to create every chance. We don't play in triangles or diamonds. That's why we see all players trying to beat two or three opposition players.
Yes I am happy we got three points but I don't think we are going to make top 4 this year.
We surely need a better coaching staff even if we keep Ole.
