We could be generous and say he was trying to find the strengths and weaknesses of the players in the squad.
I think it's fair to say that he has managed to find every weakness that exists, and create a fair few that didn't...
Really next season will be where you will see.... IF you make top 4 next season you will have Europe to contend with, which means you will need to buy 3-4 more players imo, You need a new defence, and a midfielder. Unfortunately this means more bedding in, more players "adapting to the PL" etc Next season will be the real test, to see if you are all right and LvG is a gimp or whether UiR is right and he is a genius who is making you play **** as part of some tactical master plan.
LvG is the emperors new clothes of football. We don't need a midfielder surely. If we play Blind and Herrera with Carrick in reserve we've got our centre midfielders right there. Then we've got Di Maria, Young, Januzaj and Valencia for width, with possibly even Nani coming back although I do doubt that. It is just a case of playing them in their correct positions. Simple really. We need a truly top drawer centre half and a truly top drawer right back and if we get them I can't see any issues at all. Maybe left back backup for Shaw and another right back, although Alves is being touted as maybe coming in there.
Anyone who agrees to play the players in their normal positions and not go Fellaini every time we are losing. My CV's already in the post
