We are not Barca, but I would say we are more silky then we have been ever.
Arteta, Pienaar, Yakubu, Rodwell, and now Billy and maybe even Fellaini.
Compare that with the likes of Parkinson, Horne, from the dogs of war and perhaps take stock on those styles.
School of Science for me is still very much alive in Moyes. He looks to bring in players who can improve the squad rather than merely surviving.
Nothing wrong with that post, but my biggest concern isn't with the players we've brought in, or in
Moyes particularly, but more so in how the team has been coached.
It is highly possible that you can't teach old dogs new tricks, and certainly our more senior players may be more set in their ways than others, but simple things are surely repairable, and as a team, there is a lot of improvisation involved once the whistle blows anyway.
Many things that we have talked about in this thread actually came to fruition yesterday and today.
We used the free transfer market.
We loaned out a young player.
We cut out the hoof ball.
We played Fellaini.
We didn't wait for someone else to throw the ball and lose momentum aka Neville.
We placed key players in their true positions even if we did have to improvise a little due to suspensions and injury.
Anyone would think
Moyes had read the thread lol, but seriously, these things we haven't been doing, and perhaps last night, and Nevilles injury, could be a turning point.
There's still plenty of things that need addressing, and that will come with time, but the true test will be the return of the Prem against far stronger opposition than last night.
I'm on very strong pain killers at the moment ( given only this afternoon ) and finding it difficult to remember what the heck I'm talking about, so will quit on this particular subject for tonight while I'm still in one piece lol.
