Was out doing some errands yesterday and ran into a guy wearing a Man United shirt. We acknowledged our allegiances (me in my AFCB windbreaker) and chatted about the season. (Note: it's a rare day that I have a PL encounter with another fan, and I always enjoy it). He said right off that Ole's great start was from just letting the players play. But now he is trying to put in some type of system and the players are not cooperating. He expects a big teardown in the close season, including Pogba.
One thing we agreed on ..... we as fans place a lot more importance on accomplishments like "best season ever", "50 points/top 10", than do the players. When you think about it, it makes sense .... what does a 20-something making loads of money care about years in League Two, or every year for the past half-dozen (absent last season) being another step up the ladder. They achieved safety, which was/is the primary objective, so what really motivates them to finish 10th versus 14th? That's for us to obsess about ....
