Q1: What have you made of how Moyes has done for Manchester United this season?
I have laughed so very very much, but in all honesty he's done about as well as expected. He inherited an impossible situation. Not managed it particularly well, and ended up being scathed for it.

Q2: Where do you think Manchester United will finish in the league come the end of the season?
Think you'll pip Spurs to 6th

Q3: RM has had a great first season in charge, do you think that he will be able to sustain this while evolving the side away from the one he predominantly inherited?
Yes. He's done magic this season whilst it not being fully his side. Once he's made it his own we should be even better, despite the odd balls up like last night.

Q4: Do you fear Roberto Martinez could land a job at a bigger club (e.g. Arsenal) so soon after doing such a wonderful job in one season at Everton?
Nope. If it happens it happens but i'm not worried about it.

Q5: What is the biggest difference between Moyes' Everton and Martinez's Everton?
We play to win these days, rather than play not to lose. It's a huge change and it's ace. It doesn't always work though but it's much more enjoyable.

Q6: Do you think you'll finish fourth this season?
When you have to rely on the like of Hull and Newcastle to help you out you have to say no.

Q7: Do you think your club will be able to handle the heavy schedule with European football next year, especially with the number of players you brought in on loan this season?
Of course we will. We've been in Europe before you know? And not too long ago and we did fine. Even if the loans go back, we'll get more in.

Q8: Which player have you seen the biggest improvement in this season compared to last?
Lots of them, but if I had to pick one it would be Coleman.

Q9: Which player has surprised you the most with their levels of consistency and performances?
Will come as a shock to nobody on this forum that I say James McCarthy. I thought he was turd. He is not turd.

Q10: Which team would you prefer to win the league out of Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City, and which team out of those do you think will win the league this season?
Weirdly phrased question. As long as the team wears blue I don't care.

Q11: Are there any youth prospects you have that you’re excited about/looking forward to perhaps see breakthrough in the future?
I'd like Connor McAleney to be boss.

Q12: What signings do you think/hope your club will make this summer?
We need a striker we can call our own so very very badly. I'm not sure who that will be. As good as Lukaku has been, my god he does my nut in sometimes.

Q13: What are your goals for the club next season?
Be better than this season in all competitions.

Q14: Which XI would you like to see your team field against us?
Southall
Stevens Ratcliffe Mountfield Van Den Hauwe
Bracewell Reid Steven
Gray Sharp Sheedy

Q15: Finally, your predictions for the match?
As long as we win i'm not too bothered.

 

[Azza]

Q1: What have you made of how Moyes has done for Manchester United this season?

As well as expected really.

Q2: Where do you think Manchester United will finish in the league come the end of the season?

6th.

Q3: RM has had a great first season in charge, do you think that he will be able to sustain this while evolving the side away from the one he predominantly inherited?

If he can buy defenders then i don't see why not.

Q4: Do you fear Roberto Martinez could land a job at a bigger club (e.g. Arsenal) so soon after doing such a wonderful job in one season at Everton?

Nope.


Q5: What is the biggest difference between Moyes' Everton and Martinez's Everton?

Martinez plays to win. He makes reactive decision, if that's us going behind or trying to make sure the outcome is a win. Always positive in his decisions. And he actually makes sub's before the 80th minute most of the time.

Q6: Do you think you'll finish fourth this season?

Yes.

Q7: Do you think your club will be able to handle the heavy schedule with European football next year, especially with the number of players you brought in on loan this season?

Barry will sign, Deulofeu will probably stay. Get in 3 other decent loanees and splash some cash and we should be okay. Wouldn't be bothered if we didn't get past the group stages we'd need to make sure we qualify again though.

Q8: Which player have you seen the biggest improvement in this season compared to last?

Quite a few but probably Coleman.

Q9: Which player has surprised you the most with their levels of consistency and performances?

McCarthy, for the money we paid its been very reassuring.

Q10: Which team would you prefer to win the league out of Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City, and which team out of those do you think will win the league this season?

Not sure who I'd prefer but I think Liverpool will win it.

Q11: Are there any youth prospects you have that you’re excited about/looking forward to perhaps see breakthrough in the future?

Martinez has already sounded out a few, Browning and Garbutt. Maybe see Lundstram and McAleny hopefully

Q12: What signings do you think/hope your club will make this summer?

Honestly I dread to think. Anything is possible.

Q13: What are your goals for the club next season?

Win a cup, qualify for CL.

Q14: Which XI would you like to see your team field against us?

One that will win.

Q15: Finally, your predictions for the match?

3-1 to us.

Hi, I'm an admin on Manchester United forum RedCafe and we have a feature where we go onto opposition forums each week and ask questions ahead of games. If any of you could answer the following questions, it'd be appreciated. Thanks and good luck, you've had a great season so far.

Q1: What have you made of how Moyes has done for Manchester United this season?
Haha, I thought he'd be a failure but I never expected him to do this bad. Taking the champions of England to a fight for a Europa League spot is remarkable.
Q2: Where do you think Manchester United will finish in the league come the end of the season?
6th
Q3: RM has had a great first season in charge, do you think that he will be able to sustain this while evolving the side away from the one he predominantly inherited?
Yes, this team isn't his side. He's done a great job with largely a Moyes squad. Give him time to build his own side that's suited to how he wants to play and we'll only improve.
Q4: Do you fear Roberto Martinez could land a job at a bigger club (e.g. Arsenal) so soon after doing such a wonderful job in one season at Everton?
No, media talking [Poor language removed] as usual. When they're not trying to sell our players they're trying to move our manager on.
Q5: What is the biggest difference between Moyes' Everton and Martinez's Everton?
I go to the game feeling confident and genuinely excited.
Q6: Do you think you'll finish fourth this season?
Probably not after last night. We just need to secure 5th place now which would be excellent for his first season.
Q7: Do you think your club will be able to handle the heavy schedule with European football next year, especially with the number of players you brought in on loan this season?
Yes, we'll add to the squad in the summer even if they are just more loan signings.
Q8: Which player have you seen the biggest improvement in this season compared to last?
Steven Naismith
Q9: Which player has surprised you the most with their levels of consistency and performances?
James McCarthy. I expected him to be good but he's been excellent. Definitely my player of the season, we missed him big time last night.
Q10: Which team would you prefer to win the league out of Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City, and which team out of those do you think will win the league this season?
Chelsea, the RS will probably win it though. *cries
Q11: Are there any youth prospects you have that you’re excited about/looking forward to perhaps see breakthrough in the future?
George Green. Boats 'n Hoes yo
Q12: What signings do you think/hope your club will make this summer?
Desperately need another 2 strikers minimum, a playmaker and another CM.
Q13: What are your goals for the club next season?
Europa League minimum and have another go at Champions League qualification
Q14: Which XI would you like to see your team field against us?
Howard
Coleman Jags Distin Baines
McCarthy Barry
Mirallas Barkley McGeady
Lukaku
Q15: Finally, your predictions for the match?
6-0 Everton

 

[Blue 1]

Hi, I'm an admin on Manchester United forum RedCafe and we have a feature where we go onto opposition forums each week and ask questions ahead of games. If any of you could answer the following questions, it'd be appreciated. Thanks and good luck, you've had a great season so far.

Q1: What have you made of how Moyes has done for Manchester United this season?

I've laughed. He should've left Everton two or three years ago. Was glad to be rid of him.

Q2: Where do you think Manchester United will finish in the league come the end of the season?

Don't care as long as it's below us.

Q3: RM has had a great first season in charge, do you think that he will be able to sustain this while evolving the side away from the one he predominantly inherited?

Yes.

Q4: Do you fear Roberto Martinez could land a job at a bigger club (e.g. Arsenal) so soon after doing such a wonderful job in one season at Everton?[?QUOTE]

One day, but not now.

Q5: What is the biggest difference between Moyes' Everton and Martinez's Everton?

Martinez has changed the attitude at the club from that of believing we have no right to be where we are to believing we can achieve anything. It's nice to have our club back, I've got to be honest.

Q6: Do you think you'll finish fourth this season?

Probably not, but look, we're above yourselves and Spurs, will hopefully stay there, and are battling it out with Arsenal for 4th in what was meant to be a transitional season and on a budget of about eight quid.

Q7: Do you think your club will be able to handle the heavy schedule with European football next year, especially with the number of players you brought in on loan this season?

People are only banging on about our loans because they've been successful. We're far from the only team with several loan players. If we loaned well this season, why can't we do it next? I think we'll also probably make Barry a permanent and there should be a few quid to spend this summer. It does concern me a bit though, the Europa League format is ridiculous.

Q8: Which player have you seen the biggest improvement in this season compared to last?

Steven Naismith, the Scottish Messi.

Q9: Which player has surprised you the most with their levels of consistency and performances?

James McCarthy. Didn't know what he'd be like and raised an eyebrow at the price we paid for him but what a signing he's been. Player of the season for me. Him or Seamus Cafu, anyway.

Q10: Which team would you prefer to win the league out of Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City, and which team out of those do you think will win the league this season?

My three least favourite teams, but given my inlaws support them and it would troll the redshite hardest I'd have to pick Chelsea.

Q11: Are there any youth prospects you have that you’re excited about/looking forward to perhaps see breakthrough in the future?

George Green, Luke Garbutt, Ryan Ledson.

Q12: What signings do you think/hope your club will make this summer?[?QUOTE]

Striker, CM, CB.

Q13: What are your goals for the club next season

Improve on this one. Win a f*cking trophy. Been far too long now, especially when you look at some of the rubbish that's picked up pots since we last won one.

Q14: Which XI would you like to see your team field against us?[?QUOTE]

Howard, Coleman, Distin, Jags if fit/Stones if not, Baines, Barry, McCarthy, Barkley, Naismith, Mirallas, Lukaku.

Q15: Finally, your predictions for the match?

Draw.

[GraemeS1980]

[Simon Smith]

Q1: What have you made of how Moyes has done for Manchester United this season?
Pissing myself laughing at how poor he has been!

Q2: Where do you think Manchester United will finish in the league come the end of the season?

Hopefully not in a European place unless they enter THE EUROPEAN SONG CONTEST

Q3: RM has had a great first season in charge, do you think that he will be able to sustain this while evolving the side away from the one he predominantly inherited?

Depends how much money Bill gives him to spend in the summer

Q4: Do you fear Roberto Martinez could land a job at a bigger club (e.g. Arsenal) so soon after doing such a wonderful job in one season at Everton?

Why are Man Utd on the lookout for a new man in charge ?

After the Palace game I can only live in hope!

P.S.
I'm not bitter in the slightest, really I'm not, honest!

Hi, I'm an admin on Manchester United forum RedCafe and we have a feature where we go onto opposition forums each week and ask questions ahead of games. If any of you could answer the following questions, it'd be appreciated. Thanks and good luck, you've had a great season so far.

Q1: What have you made of how Moyes has done for Manchester United this season?

It's gone quite poorly to say the least, Taking last years champions out of the top 4 tells you everything you need to know imo, Bringing in his own backroom staff instead of learning from the ones Ferguson had in place was a massive cock up

Q2: Where do you think Manchester United will finish in the league come the end of the season?

6th

Q3: RM has had a great first season in charge, do you think that he will be able to sustain this while evolving the side away from the one he predominantly inherited?

All depends on how much money he's given in the summer and the quality of player he brings in

Q4: Do you fear Roberto Martinez could land a job at a bigger club (e.g. Arsenal) so soon after doing such a wonderful job in one season at Everton?

Not yet, I believe Martinez wants to buid something here and has a long term plan

Q5: What is the biggest difference between Moyes' Everton and Martinez's Everton?

Not being scared to play football even against better sides and giving the players and fans belief

Q6: Do you think you'll finish fourth this season?

No

Q7: Do you think your club will be able to handle the heavy schedule with European football next year, especially with the number of players you brought in on loan this season?

We can loan players again can we not? Or are they planning on banning us doing it again? The Europa league will give fringe players more game time so I think we will be fine

Q8: Which player have you seen the biggest improvement in this season compared to last?

Oviedo before has nasty leg break and John Stones

Q9: Which player has surprised you the most with their levels of consistency and performances?

Coleman and McCarthy

Q10: Which team would you prefer to win the league out of Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City, and which team out of those do you think will win the league this season?

Chelsea but Liverpool will win 100% (Deserve to as well imo)

Q11: Are there any youth prospects you have that you’re excited about/looking forward to perhaps see breakthrough in the future?

No idea

Q12: What signings do you think/hope your club will make this summer?

Two strikers and an Attacking Mid

A cup win

Q14: Which XI would you like to see your team field against us?

Howard,Coleman,Stones,Distin,Baines,Barry,McCarthy,Naismith,Osman,Kev,Lukakau

Q15: Finally, your predictions for the match?

2-2

 

[Ashtonian]

Q1: What have you made of how Moyes has done for Manchester United this season?

Terribly. Has turned united into everton basically and similar results with better players is a little bit worrying personally.

Q2: Where do you think Manchester United will finish in the league come the end of the season?

6th, 5th if you beat us.

Q3: RM has had a great first season in charge, do you think that he will be able to sustain this while evolving the side away from the one he predominantly inherited?

It depends on his transfers. He gets them right in the summer and we could be building a good squad. We can't afford to sign the wrong ones.

Q4: Do you fear Roberto Martinez could land a job at a bigger club (e.g. Arsenal) so soon after doing such a wonderful job in one season at Everton?

No. He needs to prove himself and apart from the F.A cup his only reputation is playing good football.

Q5: What is the biggest difference between Moyes' Everton and Martinez's Everton?

Belief in themselves. Moyes always struck me as thinking the other team was better. Martinez sends them out to win the game.

Q6: Do you think you'll finish fourth this season?

No honestly. A lot of what if's but we need a perfect finish and arsenal to do the opposite basically.

Q7: Do you think your club will be able to handle the heavy schedule with European football next year, especially with the number of players you brought in on loan this season?

Europa yes, play the kids most weeks. Champs league perhaps not, best team twice a week at that point and something will give.

Q8: Which player have you seen the biggest improvement in this season compared to last?

Easy answer is Stones but i pick Naismith. Always said from when he signed was good for 10 goals a season and i think he is on 9 now.

Q9: Which player has surprised you the most with their levels of consistency and performances?

Coleman without a doubt. Has shone out of Baines' shadow this season

Q10: Which team would you prefer to win the league out of Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City, and which team out of those do you think will win the league this season?

I think Liverpool, i want chelsea. Simply because chelsea will spend big on the back of it and be a much bigger target next season.

Q11: Are there any youth prospects you have that you’re excited about/looking forward to perhaps see breakthrough in the future?

Stones / George Green / Ryan Ledson / John Lundstrum to name a few.

Q12: What signings do you think/hope your club will make this summer?

More midfielders! We need cover badly to rotate them, and we seem to sign a lot of wingers so a few more of those. Oh and Lukaku.

Q13: What are your goals for the club next season?

Finish one place higher than this season. And win at anfield.

Q14: Which XI would you like to see your team field against us?

howard, coleman, jagielka, distin, baines, barry, mcCarthy, barkely, mirallas, mcgeady, lukaku

Q15: Finally, your predictions for the match?

2-0 Everton if Rooney is not passed fit.

Q3: RM has had a great first season in charge, do you think that he will be able to sustain this while evolving the side away from the one he predominantly inherited?

Q6: Do you think you'll finish fourth this season? Yes.

Q7: Do you think your club will be able to handle the heavy schedule with European football next year, especially with the number of players you brought in on loan this season? Depends how many players we bring in over the summer. We will be able to loan players next season too.

Q8: Which player have you seen the biggest improvement in this season compared to last? Barkley, Naismith

[SunKing]

Hi, I'm an admin on Manchester United forum RedCafe and we have a feature where we go onto opposition forums each week and ask questions ahead of games. If any of you could answer the following questions, it'd be appreciated. Thanks and good luck, you've had a great season so far.

Q1: What have you made of how Moyes has done for Manchester United this season?
I didn't think he'd win the league but I didn't think it would have gone as badly as it has done. I just think he's badly out of his depth, caught in different mindsets; when things go bad his default setting is defend and sneak a goal but you just cant approach games like that with Manchester United.

Q2: Where do you think Manchester United will finish in the league come the end of the season?
5th/6th

Q3: RM has had a great first season in charge, do you think that he will be able to sustain this while evolving the side away from the one he predominantly inherited?
His transfer dealings are the only aspect that its still too early to judge on, our buys always have to be astute. I imagine with Roberto he has long term plans of the type of player he wants and likely has a shortlist for the summer already.

Q4: Do you fear Roberto Martinez could land a job at a bigger club (e.g. Arsenal) so soon after doing such a wonderful job in one season at Everton?
No, not right now. Unless the ultimate job like Barcelona came knocking he's here to stay. I really believe he starting to build something here and is excited by the young talents we have at the club.

Q5: What is the biggest difference between Moyes' Everton and Martinez's Everton?
Belief and confidence in his own tactics and the players. He talks the talk with his positivity but you can see it with the players, they've bought into him.

Q6: Do you think you'll finish fourth this season?
I'm not giving up on it yet but after last night's hiccup its out of our hands now, I believe we can win all our remaining games I just don't think Arsenal will slip up.

Q7: Do you think your club will be able to handle the heavy schedule with European football next year, especially with the number of players you brought in on loan this season?
Depending on which European football we have will most likely impact our approaches to the two comps. We have a fair few younger lads coming through who I believe Bobby would definitely not be afraid to play in the Europa. If its CL then hopefully we'll bring in enough bodies to cope along with more loans. Sod it though, I'd rather be in Europe than not.

Q8: Which player have you seen the biggest improvement in this season compared to last?
Naismith or Coleman

Q9: Which player has surprised you the most with their levels of consistency and performances?
McCarthy. He's superb every week and will run through brick walls for you.

Q10: Which team would you prefer to win the league out of Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City, and which team out of those do you think will win the league this season?
Not bothered who wins it as long as its not Liverpool. City blew it at Anfield though and it looks like Liverpool will do it. I've a feeling Chelsea will keep plugging away and throw a spanner in the works at Anfield. I live in hope.

Q11: Are there any youth prospects you have that you’re excited about/looking forward to perhaps see breakthrough in the future?
I don't follow the youth that closely so difficult to predict without seeing them but I hear we have some excellent prospects. Also Stones is going to be world class.

Q12: What signings do you think/hope your club will make this summer?
Lukaku, if not a permanent striker you can rely on for goals, actually 2 permanent strikers would be nice. Be nice get Barry in permanently as well. I'd take another exciting loan signing like Deulofeu as well.

Q13: What are your goals for the club next season?
Top 4. Win a trophy.

Q14: Which XI would you like to see your team field against us?
Howard, Baines, Distin, Stones, Coleman, Barry, McCarthy, Osman, Naismith, Mirallas, Lukaku

Q15: Finally, your predictions for the match?
Your away record is very good and I'm sure Moyes will have his players ready for this one as I doubt he wants humiliating. It's going to be a really tough game, if we perform to our best though we'll win. 2-1 to us.

Q1: What have you made of how Moyes has done for Manchester United this season?

Haha. It's what I expected to be honest, he's tactically inept and I thought he'd crumble under the pressure of such a big job. Thought you'd at least be still realistically challenging for top 4 though.

Q2: Where do you think Manchester United will finish in the league come the end of the season?

6th

Q3: RM has had a great first season in charge, do you think that he will be able to sustain this while evolving the side away from the one he predominantly inherited?

I think he is building a young and hungry squad mixed in with some experience and I believe we will sustain this next season and seasons to come.

Q4: Do you fear Roberto Martinez could land a job at a bigger club (e.g. Arsenal) so soon after doing such a wonderful job in one season at Everton?

Nah. Not at all, he's a man with a vision, a goal. He will eventually leave and probably to Barca but only after his work at Everton has finished.

Q5: What is the biggest difference between Moyes' Everton and Martinez's Everton?

The style of play to be honest. Under Dithering Dave it was very one dimensional and boring but under Roberto as us blues say 'The School of Science is on it's way back'.

Q6: Do you think you'll finish fourth this season?

I thought it was on until last night and that was a killer blow for me. You never know with football though.

Q7: Do you think your club will be able to handle the heavy schedule with European football next year, especially with the number of players you brought in on loan this season?

Yeah I believe we can, it'll be a challenge but Roberto's loves challenges and will not be afraid to rotate.

Q8: Which player have you seen the biggest improvement in this season compared to last?

Either Steven Naismith or Seamus Coleman. Naismith was Evertonians scapegoat last season and now we all want him to start. I don't really have to say much about Coleman, the best right back in the league...

Q9: Which player has surprised you the most with their levels of consistency and performances?

James McCarthy. I was very pessimistic when we bought him for 15mill but he has been worth every penny.

Q10: Which team would you prefer to win the league out of Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City, and which team out of those do you think will win the league this season?

Chelsea. I hate The [poor language removed] and hate City so it's a no brainer for me. I think The [poor languge removed] will win it though, it seems written in the stars.

Q11: Are there any youth prospects you have that you’re excited about/looking forward to perhaps see breakthrough in the future?

There's George Green who looks a talent and Callum Dyson as well, and Connor Mcaleny who got a bad injury near the start of the season.

Q12: What signings do you think/hope your club will make this summer?

I'm not sure if I want Luaku yet (I'm undecided).
We 100% need at least 1 striker.
A Central Midfielder.
A Centre Back.
Possibly a CAM somebody like a Kagawa or Mata for you.

Q13: What are your goals for the club next season?

I think to challenge for the title. That's got to be every teams goal in the top 6/7 at the start of the season and if you challenge for the title and fall short and finish 4th it's still not a bad season.

Q14: Which XI would you like to see your team field against us?

Howard, Coleman, Stones, Jags, Baines, McCarthy, Barry, Osman, McGeady, Naismith, Lukaku.

Q15: Finally, your predictions for the match?

3-0 Everton. I think we will turn you over, not nervous at all.
