If you were to take the equivalents of Pogba, Maguire and McTominay out of most teams, there would be pretty big issues.
For me, Pogba and Maguire have both been hit and miss since you signed them.
McTominay has been very good.
But Liverpool have got it way worse with Keita, Fabinho and Matip out.
I think the main issue there right now is simply poor performance in the transfer market. I used to think management was the issue, but you guys have made some really good points about that (leggy, 20legend, tekkers), that have convinced me the management is not a primary issue.
You either don't get the players you want, or you overpay for them and they don't deliver.
I was discussing with a mate this morning, in the years you've had Mourinho and Solsjkaer, what signings have been successes? The only ones we could point to were Daniel James and Wan-Bissaka, and even then it's early doors, the jury is still way out. To be fair Maguire could potentially fall into the same boat as well.
Your best performers are either academy products, or signed over 2 years ago - Mctominay, Rashford, Martial, de Gea, Lindelof and the likes. Such bad performance in the transfer market...
Both Ole signings.
Maguire has been hit and miss, but then you see Lindeloff next to Jones and it becomes apparent Maguire is covering two positions!
When Ole has the quality of Ndombele, Eriksen, and even Alli in midfield, I'll start to judge him harsher.
