Agree. We can look at the season over all or just at the last 15-20 mins against a Newcastle who scored 2 goals for the first time this season earlier that match as well.
They are voulnerable defensively, which is not normal for a Mourinho team. However you can argue that they were weak defensively last season as well but were saved by a player-off-the-year like season from De Gea. So they have huge flaws in a defence were Mourinho doesn't trust anyone. His CD's are shit and they lack leadership. His captain is rumoured to be in war with him, and none of the buys they have done for full backs has shown anything of significance, hence they don't play much either.
In midfield they lost their leader figure (Carrick) last season. They moved him into assitant Coach, with not much experience from that role. Matic were supposed to be their new stabilizer in midfield, but for all the defensive work fans are complaining about him slowing down the game when they eventually get the ball. Alongside him Mourinho sometimes play this McTomlin figure which I have no clue on what his real strengths are. Pogba has been a CM, but he obviously wants away, and position wise he has been a catastrophy. They also have Moruinho's favourite Fellaini, which most fans hates and who really doesn't contribute much. Mata and Lindgaard can also do a shift in more attacking mid roles but there is no consistency.
Attackwise they have good players, but no structure. Players are isolated and they don't run for each other. Their pressing is weak. Fortunately most of them seem to be way out of form as well. Rashford scores in one game and they go awol in another three. Martial is supposed to have some supertalent, but doesn't work for the team nor deos he perform at a high Level in more than 30 mins every other week. Lukaku Plays the game he always did, and it kept Everton well into the top half, and will probably do the same to United. And Sanchez... What to say… Came in after splitting up Arsenal With his poisounous "I deserve more" atttitude. Has kept the attitude in United, but also his game has remained the same that saw Arsenal very happy to get rid of him.
All in all no leaders on the pitch, and no leaders off the pitch. Mourinho might beleive he has saved his job by beating a hapless Newcastle in fascinating manners, but god knows he will never change his ego and narsistic attitude, and hence he will keep on digging a hole in that club. Lets hope they grind out a point, or even better a victory against Chelsea. That will not transform that sorry bunch of arseholes into some mean winning machine, it will only big up the Picture Mourinho has about himself, and hence he will spend his imidiate future picking even more fights agaisnt the press, the previous players and the current players. Beautiful!!!!
