all this talk of the system is, for me, giving cover to the players, an excuse as to why they are so poor. but let us look at the facts. if we played a 442, our centre backs are still totally crap and exposed both defensively and offensively. in midfield, with a 4, when we had garnacho, amad, rashford, sancho, and Antony. not one of them could cross a ball. in the middle we would still have no legs regardless of system. so we are fucked either way, whatever system, because the players we have, in the main, are not good enough for ANY system. all this talk of xg from happy is also bollocks because I’ve watched the games. what are all these great chances we are getting? I haven’t seen many.
as for manager, if Scholes and Keane can come in and be themselves as assistants or even manager, that would be such a huge plus. I am still pained by the way they treated Keane at the end just because he was trying to keep the standards of the club up and make people accountable. and I want Keane and Scholes to take first team coaching as it’s been absolutely diabolical for well over a decade now and that has nothing to do with system.
