Don't really want to add to the Moyes bashing that's been going on recently (despite being an advocate of his departure last season), but think this is interesting, considering the allegations by some on here of our team being 'over-trained' in the past...

A leading Dutch fitness coach, who has worked with some of the world’s top clubs, has launched a scathing attack on David Moyes after Robin van Persie picked up a minor injury on Manchester United’s pre-season tour.

Former Wales assistant manager Raymond Verheijen, who has helped coach Barcelona, Chelsea and Manchester City, branded Moyes’ methods “Jurassic Park”.


Van Persie was taken off in United’s 3-2 defeat to Yokohama F Marinos on Tuesday with a tight thigh, which Moyes described as a precaution, but Verheijen blamed the Scot for overworking the striker, who has a history of injury problems.


He wrote on Twitter: “In Sydney Moyes said: ‘We’ve overtrained Robin this week to build up his fitness’. [In Japan] he picked up muscle injury. It really makes you wonder how these prehistoric training methods can still take place at the highest level.

I'm really reluctant to join in on the moyes bashing this early.

I have this terrible nightmare of him winning loads of trophies there while we slide down the league, the horrible ginger troll.

Too many years of being an evertonian, I always get suspicious of optimism and gloating and suspect every thing will go tits up for us sooner or later.

However I will bookmark this post and edit it in eight months to one saying how I always knew he'd flop there.

I don't wish him to fail really

I'm kind of non caring about the whole thing right now

I'll let you know how I feel if United beat us 3-0 in the league though
 
as much as he wound me up, mainly with his team selections, its hard to hate the guy, he left us a better position than he began with, so despite a few opportunities missed he did a good job. As far as pre seasons go, I remember Unsworth saying he relished having the players throwing up an all sorts on pre season sessions, but altered his ways as he went and learned more, I've no idea what he does now like
 
Don't know if this right place, Moyes told Andy Holden he was surprised Bobby had not offered Andy a job,
Which prompts the question if Moyes rated him so highly why didn't he offer him a job at Man U .
 

He does look a bit like one.
