Moyes So Far!

Stoke away is a difficult fixture at the best of times. With 2 centre-half's injured, blustering conditions, 2 unstoppable goals and opposition keeper in fine form, it would have always going to end badly. Moyes is not to blame today.

Moyes picks the team. Moyes picks the tactics. Welbeck, Cleverley and hoofball. All down to Moyes.
 
"Good performance"
"Should have scored and been out of sight with the chances we had"
"Everyone played well"


fecking hell!!....WE ONLY HAD 4 SHOTS ON TARGET DAVID!!!
 
We could always give Giggs the job until summer? It can't get any worse.

Given how big a legacy Giggs has created at United, how long he's played for and how good he once was, I've never ever thought of him as captain material or a leader of men. Even then, he'd still be surrounded with Steve Round and Phil Neville. I just don't see what that's going to accomplish. And yes, it can get worse.

It'd be a huge ask for anyone to take over mid-season and get fourth. I kind of see it as unattainable now so we might as well bite the bullet and use the time to find the right man to take over in the summer. Maybe leaving SAF outside of the board meeting for that particular session.

Now DM is back to saying we performed well, and all the players played well. I mean, if this were another club, I'd be laughing with momentary pauses of sympathy
 
Only sacking Moyes could save our season now. 200m wouldn't even see Moyes win the league. He talks up tactical evolution yet we still are getting it down the wings and putting in endless crosses even though we don't have any players who thrive on aerial balls.

His substitutions were awful today. Granted there was bad luck with the injuries but why put Rooney in midfield? It just makes no sense when you have a player in Fletcher on the bench who can play in that position and who has plenty of experience in these types of fixtures.

There were too many punts through the middle today. It was embarrassing. I can only imagine that with the wind Moyes thought that it would result in some scrappy goals eventually. I guess that Van Persie and Mata showed that you can play through the middle.

He isn't getting sacked though. We will have to watch the empire fade and suck it up.
 
Moyes: "We played well today, I don't know what I have to do to win. We should have won, it was a good performance."

ACTUAL DAVID MOYES QUOTE. I just. What. I.
 
Even if we had Messi and Ronaldo, this clown would still find a way to lose, football has changed from 25 years ago, fire this clown, and get a real coach!


Does make you wonder how we play garbage football and need to give our manager until next season to get us playing even half well yet the other two clubs City and Chelsea go new managers and are right up where they should be, what's so different about us?

Mata, RVP and Rooney which most clubs in Europe would die for and the keeper had very little to do, it was almost boring. Agree with you, if we had Messi and Ronaldo as well it would still be awful, its something in the coaching ideas and training sessions. Even under SAF we needed working on pass and move for when teams press us but today we just looked like we couldn't do anything.
 
It's a good thing the Caf went down after the game so I didn't get to say what I felt in the heat of the moment.

Countless managers have been sacked for less. Much less. It'll be naïvety, bordering on stupidity, to keep him if things keep going like this until the end of the season.
 
Will someone please take that ridiculous 'chosen one' banner down. It makes Fergie look stupid.

I think Moyes is already doing that for him without the banner.

The more depressing fact is if we sack him there aren't many names to replace him with. We pulled a stinker by snubbing Mourinho. My only hope is we tempt someone like Klopp with a huge offer and allow him to rebuild the team in the summer.

Lol these are Hodgson level comments... he is a WUM of the highest order.
 
The team doesn't care. Scraping a point wouldn't have made any difference anyway. That's all we have to cling to in the hope that 'there's always next year'. The season is a total write off. Moyes was never the best man for the job but he was the 'chosen one' and it would have made for a nice story if it had worked out for him. It hasn't and I don't see how it can now. He's just not that good and was always going to need the luck that he clearly does not possess.

We can stick with Moyes and back him but we can't get away from the fact that there are better managers out there.
 
People will laugh at this but I honestly don't think he's any better than the likes of Martin O'Neill. I honestly don't.

It's like a manager of a McDonalds being given full control of nike this. He's woefully out of his depth.
 
Doesn't know what we have to do to win. That much is blindingly obvious, David. What hope is signing a host of stars in the summer if he can't get close to the best from the players he has?
 
I wonder what will happen if we finish around 10th place.
Next season it will be better. And if not, then in the season after it. Or in one of the next 10 seasons.

Players are shit and should be embarrased by themselves. Glazers are cnuts who only made a net spend of 80m on last 12 months.

In Moyes we trust!
 
Welbeck over Fletcher was bizarre IMO. It's a move one would make while playing a video game, where results don't matter to reality. Could have stuck Valencia in midfield as well.
 
Moyes: "We played well today, I don't know what I have to do to win. We should have won, it was a good performance."

ACTUAL DAVID MOYES QUOTE. I just. What. I.

Well, can't blame for this part. It is painfully obvious.
 
Worrying that he is still sticking to the same formation again and again. Also not a great idea playing mata on the right. He really needs to sort out our tactics because we are weak at the back and create nothing upfront.

I just think he might be on the verge of losing the dressing room if this continues. People might be right in that we have got some real inexperienced novices managing the club. Moyes has never even come close to coaching at this level. Then you have Steve round and even Phil Neville flanking him... Phil just got his coaching badges FFs.
 
He is talking out of his rectum, there is putting on a brave face and there is just talking utter bollocks that makes yourself look silly.

Hiddink patch job, I'm onboard that train of thought.
 
Should be sacked immediately. Shouldn't be allowed to try to build a new team, he is going to waste a lot of money. Won't be sacked though.
 
I think it'd be fun to see if Solskjaer can finish the season with more points than Moyes since the earlier's appointment rather than seeing if we can finish forth.

If that was us playing well, wait until we really start playing badly. We'll be in the bottom half of the table. Christ. What a ridiculous thing for him to say. Almost as bad as saying a draw is a good result against Cardiff.
 
Will someone please take that ridiculous 'chosen one' banner down. It makes Fergie look stupid.
It makes the supporters look stupid. I don't mind it makes SAF look this way or that, it was his decision.
 
It's disturbing to see other teams in the Premier League - teams we would consider to be "lesser" - who pass the ball well, and move. Simple triangle passes around our midfielders, then quickly move forwards to another phase of play. I imagine we played more long balls today than Stoke did. Or at least it felt like it. They have players who cut in, look for the late run and to play a ball through our defence. We just constantly looked to get the ball to Young, Evra or Rafael and ping it into the box. It's stone-age stuff.

Moyes had Everton playing some good football alot of the time. They were solid, but they also had alot about them. More than just passing it to a winger and banging it in.

He had some strokes of bad luck today which were out of his hands. No centre backs on the bench, and two centre backs get injured. But that didn't necessarily lose us the game. Our tactics on the ball cost us. We looked to have no idea. Give the ball to Rooney so he can blast it into the wind seemed to be out go-to tactic.

He can "rebuild" all he wants in summer, but it's more about what changes on the pitch. Teams with inferior squads than us are playing good, penetrative football. Teams inferior than us are beating us whilst swatting away our archaic tactics with ease. Would signing Kroos and Coentrao change what we do with the ball on the pitch, and our ideas going forward? Our brand of football and our identity on the pitch are abysmal. I can't think of a team in the league right now who plays a worse style of football than us. Not even Stoke. They looked more dangerous than we did, and passed rings around us at times.
 
Terribly disappointed in the manager today, we could have brought on Fletcher to play in midfield but no we stuck a forward in there instead. Also at a point in the game when we needed a goal we bring in a forward when we haven't been able to get the ball to the forwards !! Januzaj would have been the better option at that time.
I know the deflected goal and losing two center backs was a disaster but we could have adjusted better instead of dragging more players out of position than necessary, all this said we did actually play reasonably well despite the defeat but that could well be the final nail in our seasons coffin, bad fecking news when Ashley Young us your best player.
