'Playing football is very simple, but playing simple football is the hardest thing there is.' I heard this saying of Cruyff the other day, and it set me thinking about United's recent run. In the last few matches, it has looked very simple - the system 3-5-2 is clear, the players seem to understand what they are expected to do, we have players who are suited to their role in the system, and other squad players who can just about cover all positions, and the players seem to be playing as a team.
So, has CW found the secret of success, or has he just been lucky? If teams begin to rumble our system and begin to counter it, do we have a Plan B? And is he capable of dealing with the next disaster which always seems to happen to SUFC when things are going well? It is too early to tell, I guess, but for the moment it is a good feeling to leave the management team to worry about the details, and for us to look forward to enjoying the next 90 minutes of 'simple' football.
