It's getting to the point where I wonder whether, even if we got some class midfielders/players in the summer, Moyes would have the first clue what to do with them.
Or Barca, Madrid, Juve, Milan, Inter, Bayern, Liverpool etc.You talk about "top clubs" like they are all interchangeable. Like there is no difference in culture between United, City and Chelsea.
And for many posters on here I guess that's true...
But everything United have done, in appointing Moyes on a long contract, indicates a willingness to give him to time to build his own team.
I'm sure he'll given the summer to do that. If that means United are not Chelsea, and not City, then maybe some posters need to deal with that.
feck it. feck it.
Let's hire Rafa Benitez.
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. We 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 has 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.
Forget about Kroos or Reus or whoever, use that 30m or so to tempt Sir Alex back for 4 months, he is the only one capable to digging us out of this hole.
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.
A little annoying when I hear Zaha was the difference at Cardiff today...
On a side note, can someone tell me why Phil Neville was wearing an ear piece????
It looked moronic
It's getting to the point? I think he could be in charge of Barcelona and fail to qualify for EuropeIt's getting to the point where I wonder whether, even if we got some class midfielders/players in the summer, Moyes would have the first clue what to do with them.
I would volunteer to drive him from Napoli to Manchester. Although I dislike him, he will be a great improvement. fecking hell, probably even Fat Sam would be an improvement now.feck it. feck it.

I feel pity for him. Dont get me wrong-i dont think hes good enough but the amount of bad lucj this guy has is incredible.
Or Barca, Madrid, Juve, Milan, Inter, Bayern, Liverpool etc.
Practically every top club would have sacked Moyes a long time ago.
We are looking just more arrogant by the United way. I don't think that I have ever seem something more obvious in football than this. Moyes is completely out of his depth and doesn't have a clue. The worst manager to have managed a top club in at-least a decade.
He said 'worldy?' He should be sacked for that alone.
I'm old enough to have seen the same shit spouted about Fergie. So pardon me for thinking that United will give the manager a chance.And that we surely would have done had Moyes not guided the Champions to 7th place, and likely to miss out on fourth place by a large distance. You have some obsession with United being like City or Chelsea when really it's just a manager doing beyond terrible at his job.

The fantasy that we'd be ok when we got Van Persie and Rooney back was brutally exposed again today. Moyes is like a man relying on two star players to go out there and make magic happen because, frankly, he lacks the managerial talent to set up and inspire his side to do so. We could've played for 2 or 3 hours with Van Persie up top today and it wouldn't have mattered. The team is disorganised, scared, lacking in belief and Moyes is not showing the leadership or thinking to turn it around. The quality of our squad is not such that we should have lost 8 times already this season. He is failing to get the best out of what he's got. Nobody expected Fergie levels of man management but we didn't expect this.
I would volunteer to drive him from Napoli to Manchester. Although I dislike him, he will be a great improvement. fecking hell, probably even Fat Sam would be an improvement now.
I don't think 30m will get us Jose. Sir Alex would probably rescue 4th place for us, and gives him once final chance at the CL.Yeah, that'd be a terrible decision IMV. I think SAF's reign has ended. We need to draw a line under it. He needs to not be the most important person at the club any longer. He probably still is. I want a manager to come in who looks at what SAF's achieved and the size of the club and thinks he can improve upon what SAF did, not quiver in his boots, shaken with admiration. SAF's legacy is phenomenal. But to think there isn't a margin for improvement in every aspect of the club is lacking ambition and lacking constructive critical thinking.
I wasn't keen on Jose, but he wouldn't have been SAF's lapdog, he would have probably thought "I bet I can do better in Europe" or something similar.
Welbeck instead of Fletcher really was a puzzling move.

And what position where we in when Fergie took over?I'm old enough to have seen the same shit spouted about Fergie. So pardon me for thinking that United will give the manager a chance.
