#3 Struggle for consistency continues for Manchester United
Great sides are not made overnight but through a long period of trials and tribulations and the key to overcoming all those obstacles is consistency. Putting in a massive shift during a match while disappearing in another has been a theme this season for Manchester United and their players.
There have been stunning performances from the likes of Pogba in bits and spurts which has led to him garnering flak despite posting up a respectable 16 goals and 13 assists during the season. United have scored 64 goals, but the past three games have proven that consistency is something which can strangle even the most potent attacks as star strikers like Martial, Rashford and Lukaku struggled to find the net consistently.
The best teams always find a way to maintain balance and do it on a regular basis hence they have the ability to grind out results despite not playing well. The PL table is the most significant indicator of the impact consistency has on teams as the gap between second-placed Liverpool, and third-placed Tottenham is currently a massive margin of 21 points from a slim margin of 6 points in December. What separates the great sides from the good ones is their ability to salvage a result irrespective of the conditions or obstacles faced.
