If Man Utd are having trouble getting results, then why are people moaning about what we're seeing, at our level?
Man Utd are a million miles ahead of us, won dozens of trophies in the past 20 years, but look at them now. They are struggling to scrape results, losing at home etc yet they have some of the best players money can buy: Rooney, van Persie, Di Maria De Gea....
I was one of the many who moaned as soon as AI was unveiled, but I believe I had valid reason to: he had no PL experience, had been out of management for a number of years and his previous jobs included teams from lower leagues. We all knew he probably wouldn't last until Christmas so, why experiment? Why not just get the right person first time?
TP is the exact opposite: He has bags of experience, the past number of years keeping Stoke in the PL and doesn't take any stick from anyone. This is the exact thing we need. Players got comfortable under the old system and needed to have their butts kicked around the changing room. A massive clear out happened - something we all begged for all last season.
Yes, it's frustrating when we don't play well and win, but if you want that satisfaction every week (almost) of winning AND playing attractive football then you may as well go and watch someone like Chelsea or Man City. It doesn't even happen at Arsenal and Spurs, who are massive clubs.
TPs first game saw a 7-0 win, do you honestly think we'd have had that under the previous management? We'd have scraped a 1-0, if we were lucky. You could hear TP shouting instructions to get forward and attack right from the off. This guy means business and has the ability to keep us in the league. We need to toughen up and get some points on the board.
