This is my first post. I figured maybe some of you could give me some feedback to this?
Apologies in advance for the rants.
It's quite obvious that United fans globally are giving Louis non stop flack for his methods. I for one have sat on the fence for majority of it all, but that ends today.
From very questionable tactics and stupid substitutions, to the odd post/pre-match interviews, to just sitting in his chair for 90 minutes instead of trying to motivate his team, to the different formation + starting XI we have every game and particularly having many players playing out of position.
Ashley Young isn't a striker. Nor is Martial a Winger (even though he always does a job on the opposing fullbacks), nor is Blind a god damn centre back, nor is Mata is right midfielder and don't even get me started on the lamppost that is Fellaini.
All of these things just grind my gears. I can't understand how no one of a high position has taken a stand. The fans, pundits, journalists and football fans in general can all see the shitstorm at the club. Surely the people running it aren't oblivious to this either.
It just frustrates me knowing that the club spent over 200 million on transfers in the last 18 months and can barely squeeze into the top 4 in the premier league. I know we've had many big injuries, but some were blessings in disguise and we probably wouldn't have had some of the results we did without the younger lads. Rashford and Mensah surely know how to hold their own against the big boys.
And it's not like we don't have some talented players.
Herrera, Martial, Rashford, Memphis,Varela, Fosu-Mensah, Pereira, Januzaj, Borthwick and Mata to name a few in my opinion are quality footballers. I know most of them are quite young and will develop heavily, but the talent is there. There is just no execution; and I think that falls down to the manager.
Every game we see the same thing. A wide, static set up to bring the ball up the pitch, which isn't even half bad if i'm honest. But once we enter the final third, the shape of the team remains the same because the players are scared shitless that if they leave their position, they'll cop it from the manager and thats where all the back passing and lack of creativity comes in. Occasionally we'll see a good performance and everyone gets all hyped and then we play like rubbish the following week. It's a non stop cycle that we're on right now and I think I can speak for most of us when I say we want it to end.
Don't get me wrong, I want LVG to succeed at our club. When I say that I don't necessarily mean that I want him to make us champions either (even though it would be great), but I want LVG to give us, the fans, a glimmer of hope that he is building the foundations for a great team for future years like he has done at all other world class teams, namely FC Barcelona and Bayern Munich. So if lets say someone like Mourinho comes in, we'll be in a good position to start the season and have high hopes for the title. Right now I don't see that. I'm barely hanging onto the last thread of hope.
I think LVG has been incredible with his dealings with the clubs youth and I guess the injuries we had played a role in giving lots of the younger lads their first team debuts, but it doesn't excuse the fact that he has made no improvement on the performances of last season, despite the war chest of cash he was given to transform the squad.
At the end of the day, I want what is best for the club. With or without Louis. I will still sing his name until his time comes because I will never turn my back on the club.
But most importantly, play Herrera for fucks sake. The lad is absolute quality and can't get a good run of form because he's always sat on the bench.
tl;dr: we have talent in the team, no improvement on last season, LVG has done well with bringing up youth and Ashley Young is not a fucking striker and Herrera is my spirit animal.
