I supported him at the time and felt sorry for him afterwards but looking back now, the man was completely out of his depth and almost destroyed our club. We're only getting back on track now, since his appointment.
I guess a factor here is that everytime Moyes is asked questions about us, he makes it a point to defend himself. He goes on to blame the lack of time and other factors as the reason he did not succeed. That definitely riles me up as well. Not to the point of always going to the Moyes thread to vent but I can see why others feel the need to.
Not Bayern. Lewandowski is better.
And the various newspapers etc all know that you lot will react, its like clickbait.
There you have the solution to all humanities problems
To just not give a damn, but it is an extremely difficult thing to do as we are human beings. We enjoy a sense of fairness and when Moyes rants we feel that he is being unfair and hence we use the forum as an outlet for our frustration.Isnt this a thread for unpopular opinions? Was just spouting mine. However it does serve a useful purpose, it lets me know who the muppets are.There you have the solution to all humanities problems
I agree with you that it is annoying beyond a point, but maybe you should just ignore that thread?
Gerrard is nowhere close to Keane or Viera. His best season came as a #10 while Keane and Viera dominated the entire midfield.
That proves Gerrard was different to Keane and Vieira (played higher up the pitch, better going forward, not as good defensively), but I'm not sure if it necessarily proves that Gerrard was an "inferior" player to Keane/Vieira overall.
Gerrard still falls quite a bit short of those names. Lampard outscored Gerrard comfortably and Scholes pre-2003 also was very prolific. In no way was Gerrard as good as Scholes.
No he doesn't.
Fair enough. I actually agree that out of the four I mentioned, I rate Gerrard the lowest (although it's close).
Don't think that applies to the PL, let alone the world. First choice XI at City and Chelsea where they already have top strikers? Does Klopp disrupt a free scoring and devastating forward line to accommodate a talented individual who probably doesn't suit what he wants?
Although I wouldn't exactly call him an "awful finishers", Zidane did not have a lot of goals for an attacking midfielder. He had 31 goals in 209 appearances with Juventus, which is actually rather low. However, his overall game was obviously incredible and it cannot be measured in stats alone.
I can see that logic but it doesn't necessarily sit well with Klopp's style. Sturridge has scored bundles of goals for Liverpool yet he preferences a non-striker to lead the attack. You could reasonably say that Zlatan is better than Sturrudge but the principle still holds out. If you get to 45 goals in 18 games primarily without using a number 9 then I'm not sure Zlatan would necessarily improve the goal return. It's almost as if Klopp avoids that focal point as he possibly believes it takes away from the team's effectiveness going forward.
He did provide a lovely assist to Giggs in the FA cup semi...
I agree, I can't see Ibra walking into a team like Dortmund either.
Do you think he slipped that word into the sentence?
Smalling himself gets regularly sent off for stupid fouls, Evans rarely used to get sent off. Smalling's sent off was the reason we lost 1-0 against Man City in 2014, we didn't lost 6-1 back then because Man City had deteriorated much from 2011.
Where were you in 14/15, Evans showed some of the most horrific defending ever at United on continuous basis.
After watching the entire United game today, I'm more convinced of this than ever before.
Nah, we'd be knackered fella.
