There’s probably NOBODY on this app who criticises United players more than I do. Believe me. And when people say “We don’t need 10 world-class players to beat Leeds” they’re absolutely right. A team with Lisandro, Yoro, Mainoo, Tielemans, Baleba, Bruno, Mbeumo, Amad, Sesko and Cunha IS NOT A BAD TEAM. In fact, it’s a VERY, VERY good team. But what people fail to understand is just how much the environment affects PERFORMANCE. Imagine you work in IT. Every 10 months, your manager gets sacked. A new one comes in with different ideas, different rules, different systems and a completely different way of working. At some point, you get annoyed and start asking yourself questions. What am I doing here? Why do I have to change the way I work every 10 months? Now apply that to footballers. These players have no idea what the long-term vision of this club is. They have nothing to believe in, no consistent leadership to follow and no clear direction to work towards because every 10 months, EVERYTHING changes. And people wonder why their performances suffer? I genuinely believe Lisandro’s comments represent about 5% of what these players actually discuss behind closed doors. They don’t believe in the board. They don’t believe in the project. And when the people running the club keep changing direction, how are the players supposed to fully buy into anything? This is EXACTLY why I’ve always advocated for giving a manager 3 years. Not because every manager deserves unlimited patience, but because players need stability. They need a clear vision, a consistent way of working and most importantly, TIME to believe in what they’re building. We saw it with Klopp. We saw it with Arteta. Neither transformed their club overnight. It took time to build the right environment, establish standards and get everyone pulling in the same direction. You cannot keep changing managers, systems and philosophies every few months and expect the players to perform like a team that has been building something for years. It’s not just about the players or the manager. It starts with the board, then the manager, then the players. EVERYONE needs to do their job, and the BOARD KEEPS FAILING BOTH THE MANAGERS AND THE PLAYERS.
