Cos pep builds them up to be awesome before we play them and our players buy into and actually believe they are causing us to freeze and panic against a team we should be smashing everytime we meet them
TBH, I think it may be the opposite. The scum now are almost irrelevant in the league, apart from the games between us, but I think when Phil, Tommy and Taylor are regulars in the team, the others will know the importance of the match.

Yes, they've turned so many corners they're Back where they started.

It's not terminal unfortunately. The problems are in the coaching and financial areas. The financial ones have been well documented.Give us a clue, from the outside its comical, but hopefully it is terminal.
No not really, they got 66 pts in 18/19 and 66 pts in 19/20, so no improvement overall as a team. They got very lucky last season, with dodgy officiating and other teams under performing getting them top 4.
If you think the players they've replaced were superior players, then that's your opinion.

You asked if they improved the side, not if they were better/superior players.If you think the players they've replaced were superior players, then that's your opinion.
The "points total" stats quoted kinda show that they didn't really have much of an impact on results overall.
My opinion, FWIW, is that the new players are better in certain aspects of their game but worse in other aspects
ie - Wan Bissaka is a better defender but adds less of an attacking threat than Young/ex wigan bloke who's name escapes me
Breeze Block head may well be a better all round defender than Smalling/Jones but has just as many unforced errors in him that it's pretty much a like for like swap.
Goofy has some skill but appears to have "polar" games (great or invisible when he's not up for it, no in between)
No real change, IMO.

Carrick and McKenna are as world class as coaches as Cleverly and Januzaj are on the pitch.

Not everyone at the swamp rates Carrick as a coach as much as Olly does. There's no evidence to suggest United are getting it right with their development of young players. They get in the first team and then vanish. Some people at the club are very sensitive abut this. It might explain why Olly was so irritated by the Greenwood England episode.Paperboy gave a big shoutout to his coaching staff recently.

To be fair, apart from Foden, I don't think City are much better. That said our bar is a lot higher than the Rags these days.
