I said above mate....take Kane out, would they all be lauding Poch as we´d be sitting in 12th.
Massive cracks been papered over by Harry and Hugo time and again, yet its seen as a cracking season with an abundance of youth prospects. Who? Townsend, Mason and Lamela?
Why are we taking kane out? He's a part of our squad. Wasn't even new, he played last season. Made his debut years ago now. Every team gets worse when you take their best players out. Chelsea without Hazard would have dropped a few points. Sanchez, Rooney, Pelle, Aguero... Taking out teams best players or highest scorers is a stupid and pointless argument.
Why didn't you just say "If we had shitter players, we'd have been shitter" Then drop the mic and fuck off.
As for the progress argument, its simple. Who would rather go back to this time last season? When we had a man in charge no one liked, talking shit, insulting players, alienating the squad, playing Kyle Walker right wing, Chadli in defensive mid and who's general tactics made our team weaker as a whole, at the expense of adebayor getting a few more goals.
This season we've had danny rose benefitting from a manager that isn't a cunt, and doesnt leave him exposed on his own against two attackers time and time again. We've had a manager that has picked players on form rather than his agenda/picking them out of a hat (seriously, walker at right wing!) and apart from the united game, we haven't come anywhere close to getting spanked. We have a positive goal difference, albeit a small one.
Last season went tits up. This season united had to spend 60 million on Di Maria, 300'000 a week on falcao. Not only does that show hard it is to improve in the top 5 of the premier league (as if it wasn't fucking obvious enough anyway) but it shows that merely spending money isn't enough. Having a manager we can get behind, who is supported and will be given time, even if we go through a rough patch, could be the answer. And even if it isn't, its definitely 100X better than having that mouthy pe teacher cunt in charge and us all knowing he was getting sacked as soon as the season finished.
