My mate Ashley Young was superb. What a joke. So is Moyes. City, neat, sharp and inventive. Utd, pedestrian (extremely) in comparison.
My reporter mate texted me while I was watching ET yesterday afternoon. BIG united supporter. I didn't know the score at this stage. The quote. "Team and manager exposed for what they are". Sounds a tad serious.
A tad OTT aswell. With many more fans like your uber fan mate Moyes is doomed to be perfectly frank because as if the pressure wasn't big enough anyway he really doesn't need people who should know better wanting him out after five games. This is football in the modern era though unfortunately. We were ****e, not two ways about it, and one or two of the players simply are not good enough to play for Manchester United but that doesn't apply to the whole team at all. Where Moyes IS at fault is thinking that we can play 4 4 2 when the whole of the 4 in played in midfield are not good enough to play it. Fellaini will never in his wildest dreams be half as good as Roy Keane was, Carrick is different to Scholes but still the only one of the four good enough, Young is ****e (and a ****ing cheat) and Valencia is barely average when in this formation. He needs to stop being blind to the limitations of Ferdianand and Vidic and play either Jones or Evans alongside of one of them. He should not ever consider playing both together again. We DO have good enough players to play 4 3 3 or 4 5 1. What Moyes is NOT responsible for is not stumping up the money to buy that extra player we so patently need. Where was Mr Ed Woodward when Arsenal were signing Ozil and Spurs were signing Eriksen? Where? Moyes now has to do well with what he's got, we'll see if he's up to it in the next few months, but I would suggest that if he can't make top four with this squad then maybe he isn't cut out for this big a job. I still think he will though, just. Then he can add more players and kick on.
The formation Moyes used showed his naivety. You just cannot allow City's playmakers to run rings round our 442 especially when Young and velencia were so rubbish. SAF used to have used respect for City at the Etihad and these matches were close and the team was all up for it. Anyway, he'll learn. At least I hope he does. And fast...
Well put. Sad thing about the game, well one of, was the goals were all preventable. Individual players not doing there jobs properly. Valencia not tracking back with the full back, Vidic marking thin air instead of closing the ball down and Fellani not staying with his man. TWICE. I was my son's first derby. Thank **** he is only seven weeks old and has plenty of time to get over it.
I thought I would get in early and get him trained before the blue side of the family try and corrupt him. I don't think the game on sunday did me any favours
