I think the big problem is our squad make-up is ****, rather than the playing style per se. It's sterile because we don't have any dangerous attacking players. Now, that could be down to LvG, I really have no idea how the inner workings of the club go but I think the main reason we are so toothless is because we still have a **** team but have papered over the leaks at least.
If we're really honest with ourselves, we really do have a **** squad still. Mata is quality but he is very far from being a wide man. Rooney royally sucks, the midfielders are solid enough but really kind of meh going forward, our fullbacks sans Shaw can't really attack and Memphis is dumb. Martial, De Gea and recently Smalling really the only players to be excited about.
A bunch of arguments can be made, I reject completely that LvG is a bad coach or manager but the fact that we haven't addressed such bare necessities like having a single wide player that can be relied on for solid offense is pretty damning. Rooney also has to be sent to the glue factory.
My personal hypothesis is that we would be murdering everything (playing this style) if we had pace/skill on both wings with martial up top and being able to put mata in the hole.
