let's talk. Firstly, I don't feel so bad after today's CL results. The time drawing nigh for LVG before I start to get on his case. I gave him the benefit of the doubt all of last season as he achieved the goal set for him, which was to get us back into the CL. However, after one full year and a full pre-season, and an open checkbook, I am not pleased with how he has the team playing. The Empire has stopped playing attractive attacking football. His "philosophy" is holding back the team. This philosophy of midfielders or certain players not going past the wingers is stifling our play. We have become so predictable and easy to play against us. The problem is on the right hand side of the team. The coach has Mata playing on the right side as a false winger. Mata comes inside which contracts the play and he's not being overlapped by Darmian to offer width and an outlet like when Valencia plays RB. However, hands down Darmian is a more solid defender and stabilize the back. We don't cross balls into the 18 because the coach wants the players to play the ball on the ground. The problem with that is we are plodding because he stresses so much on keeping possession, therefore the creative players hold the ball 10 seconds longer rather than playing to their instincts. I saw a play when Smalling had the ball dribbling from out of the back and the entire middle opened up for him to run with the ball all the way up to the opponent's 18 yard box and he stopped halfway and turned back the ball when he realized he was so far upfield. I am starting to think that Giggs would have this team playing the Manchester way in a minute. I see Giggs just nodding his head to LVG on bench, but you can see him saying, "Yes MOFO, I can't wait until you're gone".
LVG must win a trophy this season or else he would be a total failure.
