We are languishing in 10th, 8 points behind ‘struggling’ Man United. Defense is leaking goals, attack is largely misfiring and players are losing discipline.
The mentality has also become like that of a mid-table team. Nothing in and around the club screams world class at the moment.
I just don’t find many differences between Chelsea and say, Crystal Palace (apart from the wages and all). As fans, should we also have a mid-table mindset? Satisfied with draws against the big boys and finishing the season with 45-50 points?
Yeah your troubles have been way overblown in the media because you are Manchester United.
I don’t think you have much of a footballing identity under Ten Hag, but to his credit you do end up getting the results you need. Like yesterday, outside of Mainoo you looked genuinely awful in the first half, but you managed to not concede and ended up getting the win.
And it’s quite funny to see how much the media obsessed over Ange and spurs for the first months of the season just to see them now only 2 points ahead of supposed disaster club Man United.
Yeah, there’s a lot of bandwagon thinking going on. I imagine that ETH won’t mind staying in form and getting piled on in the press for being rubbish though.
