Moyes So Far!

Fergie should come back until the end of the season alongside Moyes really. Losing out of top 4 would be a huge blow and I can't see RvP and Rooney staying if we were to.


I dont think Fergie coming back.

But if he did that would be farcical. If he did come back Moyes would have to leave.
 
No top player will sign for a club that isn't competing in the CL.

Buying in January may be risky, but its one we have left ourselves no option but to take.

Suarez says hi.
 
It would also have helped if Moyes was backed in the transfer market by our owners. £27M was all we spent. Glazer's keep their money, but might regret it if we end up in 5th or worse as they will lose out of plenty of money then.

That's actually a good point. At least right now we are still in the champions league. In the summer we might not be eligible to play in it, and that could hurt our chances to get the right players.
 
Agreed, but you have to wonder whether some of those lads want to play for Moyes and whether there's resentment against him and his management team.


Well, again, even though it'd be unfair and through no deliberate action of his, it'd still be the manager's fault. If he's not inspiring his players then that's an obvious weakness.

He was backed. There's nothing to suggest otherwise. We we bidding for fabregas, going for Herrera. He was does elf given enough funds.
 
Another game where subs were just thrown on to change the game seemingly with no real change in how we actually played.
 
He's probably the best mid table manager around. But in my opinion of course, where he was with Everton was his peak, and so is still a midtable manager not cut out for a big team. Not many are, nothing wrong with it. He should still be able to make us get into the top 4 with a good midfielder, but there's no getting away from the fact that he pissed £27.5 mil down the drain in the summer on a player that obviously never was suited to us, and the fact that he is shite against top teams. Been like that when he was at Everton and is no different now. That really is a shocking record what he has.

One thing I want to ask anyone who thinks he's the right man for us, or was happy with him taking over. What exactly did he do to deserve the united job? What has he shown that makes you think we'll get back to the top?
A telling point is that when sir Alex first retired, the vast majority on here we're saying please not moyes. Hes just not a united man.
 
Once again, I'd like to point out the following...

We have to go to Stamford Bridge, The Emirates, Goodison Park, St.James Park and Liverpool and City are coming to us....

We are not going to beat any of them teams at this rate..They'd turn us over easily...That could mean a whopping 12 defeats!!

Losing out of top 4 will drop our standard from a lofty position to that of West Ham.
 
Pick up the phone and get Mata Moyes.
 
"Hi, every other team in world football - we're massively desperate for midfielders and assorted other players" is a considerably better negotiating starting point.


You can't be serious. About every team in the world right now sees that Manchester United is struggling anyway. And every top club in Europe knows that our midfield is a bit shit.
What Moyes says after a shitty performance has no relevance as to where we stand in negotiations at all. He's just getting his excuses out already in case we fail to sign proper quality.
 
Wrote in another thread that his record against the better teams in the league - from Arsenal to Soton - is appalling: United have won merely 6 from 27 points in those games so far. Obviously, something is quite wrong.
 
You're usually quite sensible, so I'll assume you're being tongue in cheek, but if you genuinely think taking off a young CB being played at RB as he cost us a goal is in anyway similar to Valencia (A winger) costing us a goal in another game and getting to play in the next game? Smalling may well play in the next game, but he was having a negative impact on that game, his confidence was shot and wasn't playing well, perhaps Moyes felt Valencia couldn't do worse, remembering that neither are natural right backs, unfortunately it didn't work out, on another occassion it may have.

The real question for me is what the feck is happening to Fabio?


Nah, just in meltdown. Just fecking pissed at how everyone in the top 7 (can't even believe I'm even saying this) are so much better than us this season. We're supposed to be the champions.
 
Suarez says hi.

Suarez wasn't a top top player at the time. They bought potential and hes developed incredibly well. People are banging on about a world class midfielder needed in summer - they will not come without cl football.
 
I hope his praise of our performance is just a means to deflect pressure off our players - although at the same time that potentially makes them complacent. If he genuinely believes what he's saying we are fecked.
 
Our tactics from the start were awful, no other teams close to us in the table are as one dimensional as us in their reluctance to attack in any other way than down the right flank, the opposition right back might as well come on to pitch in slippers and pyjamas and have a nap for all the work he will do.

Then his substitutions, pulling Rooney deep was good. Valencia to right back I just will never understand and Young for Cleverley just saw us fail to keep the ball and then the entire time everything STILL went down the right.


Fergie played Valencia at right back on numerous occasions, its nothing new. Nor is our one dimensional, pass to the right wing, style of play. To be honest I haven't noticed a massive amount of difference in the way we are playing, it's just that Evra and Ferdinand are now past it, and 3 key players are injured. If Carrick, RvP and Rafael were all injured for long periods last season, I guarantee we would've looked just as shite.

feck me people talk some absolute rubbish on here after defeats, all this crap about Moyes having had enough time now and proven he's not good enough. He's 6 months into the job ffs, at least wait until the end of the season.

He was backed. There's no other manager in the world who would have spent £27m on Fellaini but we agreed to it.

Ok, bar the exception when do we buy top players?

That doesn't make it right and Fergie coped the same amount of flak for these stupid decisions.
 
He only did it to bring an extra attacker on.
Valencia has cost us 3 goals by not tracking back/losing his man/brain fade. Against City, Everton and Spurs. Playing him there does nothing for our attack. Why not just haul him off. Smalling wasn't playing badly and had managed to get into better positions than Valencia did all game. He also slows down our attacks trying to get on his right foot or being indecisive about whether to pass back to the fullback of cross. I won't even go into detail about his crossing

Exactly. We've got no option but to really push the boat now.

Ps. Anyone watching macari on mutv? Apparently top midfielders don't exist anymore

That performance is good enough for Moyes. He lacks ambition! Didn't he say he would have taken a point before the ball was kicked against Cardiff?

It's a terrible point.

We are Manchester United for fecks sake. Players will join us regardless of whether we play in the CL or not
 
For anyone who somehow didn't understand or realize just how great of a manager Alex Ferguson was...

David Moyes is a really good manager, but given the same club, essentially the same players, he's producing feck all.
After our last defeats I've come on here voicing my concerns about him (like the rest of you) but I have seen improvement in our last few games, hell even today I felt we played well but were unlucky. In the last few games I've noticed we are pressing a lot more and trying to play at a higher tempo something we haven't done in recent times. Take his subs today, I thought they changed the game for us which is impressive given at the start of the season he was just throwing anyone on for the hell of it.

I am still a little worried at how bad our final balls are in the final third but theres definite improvement which, given time, will put us in a good spot. This transfer window is big for us if we get a few names in midfield and a winger we should make a good charge for the champions league spot.

Everyone is saying other top manager don't need time to settle or he would have been sacked but lets give him a season before we get him to leave. I think he needs more time to stamp his authority on the team and get a few more of his players in - something we need to look at is with all the other top managerial appointments all have spent big to get players they want in, Moyes has not had that same luxury
 
It also has no relevance to what we do for the next month.


Of course not. He still comes around like a bit of a cnut though. Defending the team is all good and well but he is overdoing it. Calling this a great performance is a slap into the face of 75.000 ppl paying for their tickets today.
 
Ok, bar the exception when do we buy top players?

To be fair, our midfield has never been in such a bad state where it has needed immediate world class. That's where we are with it now. My point is, the quality we need will be unattainable without CL football
 
It's a terrible point.

We don't have a divine right to sign players ahead of other clubs. The champions league is hugely important for quality footballers, and rightfully so. A lot of them don't want to be joining the David Moyes mid table project.
 
"Hi, every other team in world football - we're massively desperate for midfielders and assorted other players" is a considerably better negotiating starting point.


As if it makes a difference what he says at this point! Yes he had little option but to lie to some extent, but how much doublespeak can you take from Moyes before you lose all grasp of what he's actually thinking about the squads quality and our goals for the season? A bit more clarity would be nice and would help build some trust.
 
I dont understand critism Moyes takes for our performances


Again, what do a lot of you think a manager actually does? It's not a computer game. You don't just press a button to increase moral, press a button to change formation, pick a team and done. Anything that happens after that is happenstance. It's a real, hard, long, human interaction heavy job, and you're the person who's supposed to be responsible for everything.
 
It would also have helped if Moyes was backed in the transfer market by our owners. £27M was all we spent. Glazer's keep their money, but might regret it if we end up in 5th or worse as they will lose out of plenty of money then.


27 million was all we spent? You're seriously bringing the Glazers into this? Any other club and he'd be out of the door by now, and the Glazers still take some criticism.
 
That performance is good enough for Moyes. He lacks ambition! Didn't he say he would have taken a point before the ball was kicked against Cardiff?

I'm not sure, but if he did, it just exemplifies his defeatist and small club mentality and goes to show that a club that prides itself on it's winning mentality and success hiring a manager such as Moyes is a farce.

I'm not calling for his head, at the moment it would be illogical when there is no one we can replace him with, but it's a joke on the clubs part nonetheless.
