Motivational psychology has been key to United's success. As CW says we have to be playing at 100% to compete in this division, and the expectation of an immediate return to the Championship fired up every player. A build up over a long pre-season focused on that 'goal' of the first game at Bournemouth.
We have talented players throughout the team, but we perhaps more than most have relied on the adrenaline hormone to bring out the best. The training ground atmosphere after restart is always going to favour the more technical minded teams, who perhaps don't rely on our passion. Our motivation was borne out of proving them wrong, and we have done that now wherever we end up in the table.
For me this stuttering start to restart is going to be a positive thing in the long run. The dreaded 'second season syndrome' has come early and this has been a steep learning curve for CW. He may have focused on physical fitness during lockdown, but perhaps took adrenaline for granted? Our players thrive playing home and away in front of crowds. Arsenal, for me, saw the lads coming to terms with the reality of playing in a library and trying to generate that energy.
