Manchester United are becoming too boring for my liking, Gary Neville has said. Neville recently warned Ole Gunnar Solskjaer that his team is slowly heading towards the same boring path Mourinho and LVG put MUFC through, so he needs to fix up asap.
According to him, he currently sees Man United players sleepwalking through games, and there has been no urgency about their matches at all.
He added that there is currently a clear lack of urgency and belief when MUFC come up again the big and small teams in the EPL.
His words, “There was no urgency at the end of the game. You expected United to be throwing everything at it. You expected maybe some of the young lads to come on and do something to try and win the game, take a chance, take a risk, but there was almost a fear that maybe Crystal Palace would go and counter-attack.”
“It wasn’t a good night for United. You can’t have too many performances like that.”
“I always said in the past when Louis van Gaal or Jose Mourinho were the manager, you can win, you can lose, you can draw, but you can’t be boring and that was boring, watching that.”
“They let games drift for large periods. That’s happened in the big games where there’s been that lack of urgency and belief but now it’s starting to come against the teams at the bottom of the league.”
“They are sleepwalking in games. They are thinking that they are okay, they will get a goal, because many times this season they have played badly in first halves of matches and then gone and won the second half. But now it’s not happening for them.”
“You’ve got to have performances. You will get results sometimes when you play badly, but eventually it will catch you out. You need performances.”
