It will be the same with Pep at City. He'll be a whirlwind going through that club and his success will depend on whether the players follow him, just like Van Gaal. I expect a key aspect of his success will be to eliminate influential players who he suspects won't follow him. Toure is 100% finished there. LvG probably didn't get that quite right. Backed the wrong players and didn't get his own personalities. Quote:
The stuff you hear about his approach being too negative, him being a fraud etc - all %@#$&!s. If United were playing LvG's way the fans would love it, like they loved us going to Anfield and playing them off the park in a way we hadn't done for 20 years. But we've rarely looked like an LvG team. There have been glimpses and the framework has been recognisable, but it's just not happened. The Philosophy is not the failure, the failure is not being able to effectively implement it. It's a pity, because if it'd worked it would have been great to see. |

It's why I don't resent the guy. I wanted him here, I wanted it to work and despite how shite it's all become, I can see an outline of what he's trying to do. Sometimes the players seem like they get it and it clicks then a game later 'awww, boss . We lost it again ' We'll probably only really hear the reasons once he's gone, but for whatever reason, it hasn't worked. No big deal. Doesn't make us a sacking club. Just do it and move on. |

He'll definitely look back and regret focusing his signings too much on youth and not getting his own leaders, though. Schweini was the one, but him being fit only half the season was predictable. He needed three or four others like him to get hold of the place. |

Whatever he's implemented the basic outcome is the players can't play a good passing game because they're all in weird positions and too far away from each other.
most of the time our formation looks like this: Smalling -------------- Carrick ------------ Blind ------ RB -----------------------Bastian-----------------LB ------ ------ ---------------------------Fellaini------------------------ Mata--------------------Rooney-------------Martial Basically asking the no.10 and one of the DMs to boss the entire pitch while everyone else stands around the edges. I call it the picture frame formation. |

incidentally, siders, when we played liverpool off the park, we sere wide open through the middle and liverpool didn't take their chances. meanwhile, the score did not reflect our dominance of possession and we ended up scrambling to hold the lead. however, he didn't move on from that period, either in terms of playing the same way that gave us a small run of success against average teams or enthusing the players with his philosophy. it is pointless to say he would succeed given more time and smarter, younger players. he won't be. |

I agree with what you say about the big man. The short term nature of it all has made it unworkable and he has probably made decisions that he wouldn't normally have made given that backdrop. |
