Just because there were worse times decades ago doesn’t mean this situation is acceptable. We play poker, we know small sample when we see one and we understand EV.
PL is 9 in and United have 14 points... W4 L3. If we were running at EV we’d had about 9 points. We were extremely lucky to win vs West Ham and Wolves. Even though we ran out clear winner vs Newcastle we could have conceded 10 vs a more clinical team. Southampton draw was lucky.
In Europe we have 6 points. Should have 3 points max. Every game in Europe has been terrible and we had a very kind draw. Limping through whilst way above EV isn’t acceptable.

Moyes was never a good fit + nobody in the world was ever gonna succeed SAF.. especially when inheriting that squad.
LVG was, stubborn, tried to implement a completely different style with the wrong personnel, and wasn’t backed from higher up.
Jose was the worst fit in the world. I kinda get why at the time... serial winner and all that but is literally the opposite of ‘the United way’..
We have seen progression under Ole, we’ve also seen a way better atmosphere from within . Problem is when comparing progression with the strength of the squad. We’re nowhere near achieving what we should be.
Potter and Howe are worlds apart.
