Do you think it’s because he thought - right I’ll send the team forward in the second half of the season?

He has of course but you need to ask why he didn’t before? You think it’s because he didn’t know the players he was working with. I’ll say that the players he had were not ready to play that type of football (personnel - Manquillo? and form: Diame, Perez, Ritchie, etc.)

Remember Fergie’s first few months at MU? They nearly fired him.
why afetr nearly two seasons couldnt he work out how diame and shelvey would play together
why after 4-5 games could he not work out josewho was ****e
we did
ii would say the players were able to pay how they are now apart from ****illo diame perez and ritchie starred in the last game of the season when we attacked from the start and looked really good
but then he starts the new season dropping of like rabbitts caught in the headlights
loose the ball all run back and defend

and remeber rafa has had a lot of these lads for a lot longer than a few months like fergie
two ppre seasons
1 full season
