David Moyes - all reaction here

Did Paul Scholes hit the nail right on the head when he said that United have no pace in midfield and no risk-takers willing to thread a forward pass and prepared to lose the ball in so doing (barring Giggs)? If that truly is the missing ingredient then I'm not sure that Moyes is sufficiently willing to buy the right players to do that - it's not in his DNA. Unless he totally relents and offers Everton £35M for Barkley and overlooks the mistakes he can make which kept him out of the Everton side under his management (or of course some other, excellent overseas based player) - since Barkley apart, I doubt there are any candidates in this country available from clubs willing to trade with United.

As somebody on redcafe just said:
Fergie "I'll knock Liverpool off their perch."
Moyes "City are at the level we aspire to be."

He played tonight and was dreadful, he just doesn't cut it in the pl
I were watching our game on a stream and the United game on sky at the same time and our players have Much better movement on the ball than theirs and control
tbf even if he was suited - he's not played in about 3 seasons, so I doubt he's full of desire to prove himself or to play, in general, under Moyes...

Manchester United supporters vented their anger at the former manager Sir Alex Ferguson at the end of the shambolic 3-0 derby defeat to Manchester City at Old Trafford. In the first signs of open revolt at David Moyes, fans furiously questioned Ferguson's decision to appoint the Scot as his replacement.
With Moyes also receiving verbal abuse from supporters and stewards being asked to guard "The Chosen One" banner that hangs at the stadium's Stretford End after the 167th Manchester derby, the ire shown towards Ferguson, who is a club director, will cause serious questions at boardroom level.
Moyes has consistently spoken of how the support has stood by him throughout his overseeing of a dismal title defence. This defeat guarantees United will end with their poorest ever points tally in the Premier League era, with their previous lowest being 75.
City took only 43 seconds to take the lead through Edin Dzeko, who also scored again in the 56th minute, before Yaya Touré sealed United's humiliation with a third for City at the end. That provoked fans to target Ferguson as he sat in the directors' box at the final whistle.
The 72-year-old was the driving force in Moyes being appointed as his successor at the end of last season, with the former Everton manager being summoned to Ferguson's house to be offered his job

That's poor isn't it - really poor. They've been littered with success for over two decades, 2/3rds of a season where not much has gone right and they behave like petulant children. I know most only started supporting them because they were successful, but still, come on.
It's a guy who's out of his depth just doing his job wrong, no need to verbally abuse him and what not. treatment towards ferguson is horrible as well. he made that club like. i wonder how many of those fans would be supporting united right now if it weren't for fergie

Whatever else the guy has done or said, he sure had an eye for a defender.
There are no back fours in the league I'd swap with our first team and we have quality backups for at least Jags and Baines in Stones and Oviedo.
