MP is all about motivation.
He gets his players to work hard, in training and on the pitch by pure force of character.
Therefore players play well above their natural level - Fergie was the same.
Just maybe we are not getting the results in the cups and big games is because the opponents are just as motivated as us for these games. Then it comes down to moments of magic by world class players and tactics.
And luck.
The truth is our players are limited - just look at how many goals our defenders (dont) get, or midfielders for that matter. They are well drilled to play a certain role, but there is little flexibility.
It is not entirely MP's fault that we are tactically limited in that way, but MP does not strike me as a total football kind of guy either. I reckon Jesus makes any tactical switches.
