Lol ye outdone by class ball is Moyes

Ok.

Their goal was nothing to do with it, point I was making is that utd were clearly not at the races tonight and moyes did nothing to take advantage, when has moyes Ever made a positive tactical change when the game is level, the answer is never, he hasn't got the nuance to sense that the game is there for the taking and change it up, we never looked like scoring tonight, it was clear the attacking plan was to not commit players forward, no support from midfield, no plan full stop, all we did was encourage a poor utd team to ride it out and do us on the counter which is exactly what happened, shocking management

Well, seems to be mixed views on the performance. I thought we were awful and lost to an awful Utd side.

We are back to looking like we have no idea what to do in the final third, as if we are not coached.

Thought Garner was very good, but next game it will be JOB back to RB.

 

[Roger Milla]

Hope that leaked team isn't right. Is it really too much to ask for, for players to be played on merit and in their proper position. I've been saying it all season, so I suspect it is too much to ask for.

Called it and I'm sick of this. Why isn't the manager giving us the best chance to go and win games?

If anyone is still supporting him, can they defend this instead of throwing lazy replies about the past few years at me?

 

[PhilM]

Ndiaye looks so much better on the left.

He looks leggy at the moment, which is unsurprising. Gana is the same, and how he wasn’t swapped for Rohl is beyond me.

 

[Rob17896]

Yes we do. Patterson has not done anything wrong but the moron knows best

 

[Rita_Poon]

Woeful.

Seen more desire in a bunch of lemmings over a cliff edge.

 

[Neiler]

Lets see...a counter of with Armstrong on the left and Barry doing, well whatever it is he does...not inspiring is it?

It’s how we play away really.

Part of Barry problem is playing in front of a fully set up defence IMO as we are slow and telegraphed on our transition.

We have options, let be honest, George looks very positive, while Charly is excellent in transition in the counter.

 

[Drico]

I’d hate to be a striker in a Moyes team, sent out to chase lost causes and feed on scraps. Barry isn’t much of a player to begin with, but he hasn’t a hope under this fella.

 

[Miked1e]

3 full backs on the bench and he plays a cm and a cb in those positions…..

The guy doesn’t have a clue.

Waits to go 1-0 down to make a sub.

That was awful again tonight against a horrendous United team.

 

[coleman’s mustard]

Woke up at about 4am

Saw the team and thanked the airline that the game was not on and went back to sleep

Standing at the Ok corral, aka Sandhills. We may have been beaten tonight, but for once there was fight in our players. Never sure how it comes across on TV, but they showed spirit. Yes plenty of individual mistakes, but as a team far better than recent matches. We sang, we shouted and may be even swore! Clapped those players off because they deserved it.

thiscis it, those watching in telly will aay it was poor, everyone in the ground knew the team showed some foght

Not at the races due to Moyes setup. We stunted them mainly due to Moyes tactics. Did you know that when teams play so called badly against other teams it is mainly due to tactical dilligence

 

[NathDogg]

Didn’t really deserve up to lose it but didn’t do anywhere near enough to win it.

Playing that starting 11 against probably one of the worst United teams ever isn’t good enough or acceptable - best players out of their best positions, crab CBs who were nearly done several times on the counter but the manager does nothing to change it; simply awful throw ins, woeful corners and laughable set pieces, which was all we seemed to be playing for; shocking tactics; limited subs used when we’re begging for changes, the manager doesn’t want Europe - I’m certain of it.

Fernandes reffed the match, he was man marking England and in his ear constantly, but that United side are full of snides besides him, who had us and the Ref right off - in wish we had some players like that - Everton are way too nice, there’s zero snide in any of our brave hearts, just are a luvly group of lads who are far too nice and allow themselves to be bullied all over the pitch, as does our manager, who is too scared to have a proper go at teams, especially at home. We’re not getting relegated, how is that starting 11 justifiable from anyone?!

The league is absolute crap and we have shat the bed on Europe, it’s disgusting really.

Also, the crowd were right up for it tonight, and BMD was loud, aggressive, heated, a bit of a bear pit. The United fans were quiet as mice until the inevitable goal went in against us, and BMD even went loud after it, trying to push us on.

ITS NOT THE STADIUM OR THE FANS!

On the positive, we got beat by a great ball from £62.5m signing Cunha to £65m Mbuemo who squared it for £67m Sesko to finish.

Other than that lapse of concentration, we played ok if not great. Shame we couldn't put £80m Maguire and £53m Yoro under more pressure.

Also found it laughable that Pickford got booked for dissent from about 60 yards away from the ref, but Fernandes didn't despite getting up close to the ref and for much longer.

Premier league are desperate for Utd to get back into the CL and also for the RS to make it.
Utd finished two places below us last season but can lash out nearly £200m on three forwards.

 

[degsy]

Signing Grealish is important. He really lifts the standard.

...and slows down an already pedestrian team??
