Yeah, I mean, I think we should also mention Troy Deeney coming back, shouldn't we?
That's been huge for them.
He's made a real difference.
And Pearson has obviously sort of tightened them up at the back.
But when you've got a focal point like Deeney and you've got players like Sarr and De La Feo around him, you do have a lot.
You have a lot to work with, really, don't you?
So it's not really a surprise that he's managed to get more out of this group of players because the talent is there.
I think so.
I mean, if you think about the squad that he kept up at Leicester, you know, there's probably not a huge amount of difference between that squad and the squad he has now.
I mean, I'm not saying the Watford are going to win the title next year.
5,000 to 1, I think, the odds are.
But, you know, it's by no means a lost cause, is it?
It feels like the circumstances always need to be exactly right for Man Utd to kind of...
show their best.
They really struggled to impose themselves on games.
They are good on the counter-attack when they're allowed to run into space by their opponents, but they couldn't get near City.
It just looked like one team with a plan and one team without one.
You know, they just struggle so much against those teams who kind of impose themselves on games.
And that, I think, is the big worry for Solskjaer.
They just don't look capable of controlling games and dictating games in the way they should.
