[quote=“dodgy-keeper, post: 909432, member: 1552”]One of the worst performances from United in years last night. As bad as Lille away around the time Keane was booted out or the title decider with city a couple of years ago when Kompany scored.
Had played relatively well against Palace. 4-2-3-1, passed it and looked decent enough. The only change for last night should have been Kagawa for Mata. Instead he completely fucked the team around, reverting to a flat 4-4-2 with Young, Cleverley and Valencia ffs. Biggest game of the season and he selects those three. Januzaj has been our best player this season and he was not even on the bench, rested even though we don’t have another game for another 11 days. Totally clueless.
Have lurched from one disaster to another since last May. You could make allowances if he had shown a lot of the deadwood the door, had brought in some exciting youngsters and was trying to implement a new style. However awful results have coincided with awful performances. The only tactic is get it to the byline and pull it back or lump it into the box. 81 crosses v Fulham at home. Play the worst football of any side in the top half, and probably in the league generally.
He picked a negative team last night to nick a 0-0 or scrape a win. That’s ok at Everton but this is Manchester United. Got some great attacking players but they are rarely utilised. The players look totally demoralised. The lack of fight, spirit and graft last night was shameful, irrespective of who the manager is. Only maybe Vidic and Evra can say they worked hard and gave their all.
I feel for Moyes, a decent man but managing United in this day and age you need to be a ruthless, arrogant, bullying tyrant. He doesn’t have it in him. It’s all very well saying “back the manager” but at what stage do you say enough is enough. Look at Hodgson and Dalglish (2nd time) at Liverpool - going nowhere and deservedly sacked. Going places under Rodgers now.
Keep thinking we’ve hit rock bottom and then the next week we out do it. West Brom, Sunderland, Fulham, Swansea, Newcastle and Everton - it goes on and on. Doesn’t show any sign of abating. A parting of the ways in the summer looks inevitable now. He won’t get rid of the deadwood (he played them in the biggest game of the season last night!) and I genuinely think if he signed Messi or Ronaldo he wouldn’t know how to fit them into the side. The job looks too big for him. Neville, Round and Jimmy Lumsden to prepare world class players at training ffs. Took a gamble and it hasn’t worked out. Fergie shouldn’t have had any say in his successor. Bending over to facilitate Rooney was weak management too and is bound to have an affect on the dressing room.[/quote]
Why do you have to be a ruthless arrogant bullying tyrant? Rodgers is managing a big club and seems a relatively alright fella.
