In the 32nd round of the Premier League, Manchester United visited Goodison Park to play Everton. With Anthony Gordon's goal in the 27th minute of the first half, Everton beat Manchester United 1-0 to score a crucial three points on the road to relegation. After losing the game, all of United's players once again suffered overwhelming accusations from the outside world, starting with manager Ronnick.
It can be said that how high Lonnick was praised at the beginning of his presidency, and how badly he is now being thrown. Although the fans' views are somewhat emotional, the objective data of the post-match media statistics prove that Lonnick is undoubtedly the worst manager in the Premier League era of Manchester United, and there is no one.
The Sun has counted the winning percentages of United's managers in the Premier League era, and the data shows that Ronnick's record of 8 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses in 17 games is at the bottom of the 47%, and he is the only manager whose winning percentage has not exceeded 50%. In addition to the dismal record, another thing that Lonnick is very dissatisfied with is that his Manchester United has no characteristics and has not played a trace of his tactical philosophy.
During the Van Gaal period, Manchester United was trying to pass control, although most of the time people were drowsy, but they tried to work hard in this regard; during the Mourinho period, Manchester United's tactical idea was defensive counterattack, relying on this pragmatic way of playing, he brought Manchester United a "small treble"; even rookie manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer once played with a quick counterattack, unbeaten away throughout the season, and did not fall behind in the BIG6 group civil war. It's just that this season's transformation failed and was overshadowed.
But what is Lonnick best at? The core idea of high-level pressing is "8 seconds to complete the counterattack, 10 seconds to complete the attack", but these contents are completely invisible. You can put it all down to the lack of a Squad configuration, but isn't Lonnick a tactical guru? This road can not be worked out, it can be changed. Isn't teaching according to aptitude the most basic quality of a "godfather" manager?
The fact is that almost half a year has passed, and Manchester United not only is still full of holes in defense, but also the attack seems to be scattered and disorderly. One play today, another tomorrow. And if a road doesn't work, you have to go hard, and there is no change of tactics at all. Everton's defence is at the level of a relegation team in the Premier League, and such a defence is a big win in front of Manchester City or Liverpool. But United can't open the middle with nearly 70% of the possession, and will only play the side cross, and the success rate is pitifully low.
There is no harm without contrast. The manager with the highest winning percentage in the Premier League is Ferguson, with 528 wins, 168 draws and 114 defeats in 810 games, with a winning percentage of 65%. With the most games and the highest winning percentage, Ferguson is the only one.
In second place is Mourinho, with 50 wins, 26 draws and 17 defeats in 93 games, with a 54% win rate. After Mourinho left school, every time he talked about the manager of Manchester United, there were always fans who stood up for him. If the senior management chose to support Mourinho when the general was conflicted, and gave him enough support in the transfer market, would Manchester United have already won the league title? There will never be an answer to this question, but people will always enjoy it.
"Locks brother" Ole Gunnar Solskjaer won 56 games in 109 games, drawing 29 and losing 24, with a winning percentage of 51%. Similarly, after Solskjaer left the class, many fans also cried out for him. In the first 2 seasons, Manchester United saw that it was on the right track, and the atmosphere of the team was harmonious. But in the summer window last year, Manchester United's top brass brought back the unplanned C Ronaldo, and the original balance was broken, which eventually led to a collapse.
Van Gaal won 39 games in 76 games, drew 19 and lost 18, with a win rate of 51%; Moyes won 17 games in 34 games, drew 6 and lost 11, with a winning percentage of 50%. The other two interim managers, Giggs and Carrick, have a 50% winning percentage.
After this round, United continue to be 7th, but are already 6 points behind 4th place Tottenham. With 7 rounds left, 6 points left, and rivals like Arsenal and West Ham, Manchester United's hope of returning to the top 4 is slim. Between Conte and Lonnick, United chose the latter, choosing a director who had been away from the managerial position for a long time, and now it seems that he has once again made the wrong choice.
