McPhee Danks Smith
The Danks-MacPhee combo seems to be working very well.What I like about this season is our willingness to take the game to the oppo: we didn't see it so much against the Barcodes or Brentford at VP, it's a developing approach - perhaps resulting from the growing influence of these two new coaches - and it's great for the team and the fans watching.
I wonder if the import of Danks and MacPhee played a part in ROK leaving.Not as in they were brought in to replace him. but to work with him, and he didn't like that.
I was sat behind the dugouts on Saturday, and it was really noticeable the difference in styles between Smith and his coaches; and OGS and his. Smith was on his feet the whole time, talking to the coaches and they were constantly giving the players instructions, including a handwritten note given to McGinn at one point, which he then tore up and scattered on the Old Trafford pitch. OGS on the other hand was sat down with his head in his hands next to Carrick for most of the match, rarely seeming to do anything at all.

Solskjaer seemed to be getting angrier and redder but did nothing about it, apart from at one point storming down to the touchline to help one of the subs put his boots on and roll his sleeves up. Reminded me of someone less exotic, especially with that post-match excuse list.
