OK. Is this statement from LVG good enough for you?
"But when you see the facts, we went further in the Capital One Cup (this season), qualified for the Champions League group stage, we have played all these matches and are still in a very good position in the league. The facts say we are better than last year. That's my answer because I can only give facts. I'm also disappointed that we are out of the Champions League."
After 18 months and £200 million spent, is an exit in the 4th round of the League Cup against a Championship side, not getting out of a weak CL group and sitting 4th in the Premier League after some uninspiring displays really improvement?
I am frustrated with the bland football being played. I love United and still go into every game BELIEVING, but I see this rigid formation killing the creativity. When Ronnie and Nani were playing, they would often swap wings and wander around the pitch, causing trouble everywhere. Even Giggs and Sharpe would swap wings. Now, we see players scared to take on defenders and move out of their allotted positions. The expression and creativity is being stifled out of the United we know and love.
While I don't expect an immediate return to the style of play under any previous manager, surely, with Giggs involved with the coaching, the true United way of playing with a swagger and a bit of style should be embedded in the way they go about their business on the pitch?
Or am I missing something?
Please, I would love to hear others' comments.
