Semi Final v United, Liverpool FA Cup 4th round, Chelsea away FA Cup 4th round. All massive games which we won.

This go for it from the first minute until the last attitude you advocate is ridiculous, and it's not even true. I've saw Wigan sit back under Martinez plenty of times and rightly so, or you'll end up like Blackpool that year they were in the league.

Nice one!

You wasn't being serious. was you?
 

Mateusz Taudul tweeted that he enjoyed training with the new GK coach before quickly deleting it.

I wonder why the club hasn't announced it?
 
taking man uniteds kids to penalites although a great day out was not a moyes master stroke.

Moyes not given credit for something positive? I am suprised.

Foster, Rafael Da Silva, Ferdinand, Vidic, Fabio Da Silva (Evra 63), Welbeck, Gibson, Anderson, Park (Scholes 67), Tevez, Macheda (Berbatov 91).

Not exactly a diobolical team just out of nappies is it?

Was SAF right to play his kids against us by the way or would it be better not to play kids when you have stronger players?
 
haha i was wondering if someone would go back and list the squad. SAF played possibly the weakest team he could at the time cos i think they had a CL semi final or something small coming up?

I was at the game, as you probably were and we were average. Got near 90 mins and we were already playing for pens.

The pens made the game exciting and memorable but it wasnt a great footballing team performance.

Neville should of scored for sure, but we were'nt at our best, but suggesting we should of had it easy against a team containing Tevez, Vidic, Ferdinand, Welbeck, Gibson Scholes, Evra is just daft.
It wasn't SAF's weakest possible team by far, and using the 'kids' cliche to have another needless pop at Moyes record is pretty lame.

Seems evra and scholes came on for some weaker players to me?

And welbeck is a kid now FFS, we played them 4 years ago! SO your basically talking about a side what contained vidic, tevez and ferdinand.

anyway, pointless argument, they played a second string and we took them to penalties.
 

What makes you think we won't?

The fact that no other manager with a similar budget has got anywhere near to consistently challenging Everton.

If Moyes wasn't doing anything particularly special in getting us to roughly 60 points every year why did no one else do it?
 
Had a thought this morning and I would like to share it on here.

Roberto will bring a fresh, new, scientific, innovative approach to training, pre season, match preparation, squad handling etc and I am delighted with this new 2013 approach. But what about the likes of Leon Osman, Sylvain Distin, Tony Hibbert, Phil Jagielka, Steven Pienaar, Tim Howard who throughout their careers have not been used to this style? They are over 30 and it must be a lot harder for them to adapt to a new style after playing so long with a different one than it is for the likes of a 21 year old.

A youngster can change his game because nothing will be embedded into him, someone like Leon Osman who is in his 30's will find it harder changing his game after playing all his career in a different way. See where I'm coming from? It's just a thought I had. Enthusiasm will be huge for the lads who are 25 and under but for the older lads I don't think they'll be as keen because after doing a job for so long so well and along comes a change, you are gonna wonder why? Why change my style when I've had success playing the way I do? I'm 31/32 I've been playing under Moyes for 11 years and now I have to change my ways?

A whole lot easier for a youngster because they are still learning. Not so easy for a veteran.

I agree with Timak I think our players will actually be more suited than most due to the exhaustive emphasis Moyes placed on fitness and tactics. You could think of if like this: They've been prepared with scientific methodology but with the wrong objectives, I.e. less a focus on good, possession football. Martinez can now utilise what Moyes had put in practice for his own (superior?) approach. I'm actually really excited to see how the likes of Osman take to this new system
 
From Wigan forum:
"one of the Things I did not like about the Martinez way of playing was the way we would let the opposition stroll right up to our six yard box without making a challenge sometimes or the way we kept every one Back at corners and free kicks near the box, this usually meant that when the ball was Cleared it would come straight back at us and we would still be defending"

sounds familiar.
