I wonder what Mourinho is playing at.
When I see Chelsea and Arsenal play, I can see that they have styles that they are trying to perfect. I could not say the same for Manchester United. If I did not know any better, I would say that what he has done is prepare them defensively, but then told his attackers to go and figure out how to attack from his defensive tactics by themselves (with the added bonus that if it goes bad, De Gea will bail them out).
I understand that Mourinho is a pragmatism personified in football. I also understand that not everyone can play like Manchester City and Liverpool, but this is ridiculous. This United side has looked like they have no conviction in what they are doing or what they want to do, and it has been like this for a year now.
