dnmacf Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Just preseason but we scored better than Man Utd against Crewe! Is that blue tartan kit their away shirt? Must be a Fergie tribute surely?! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2380942/Crewe-0-Manchester-United-XI-2--Nani-scores-friendly.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 A team like manure , world wide brand etc etc, should really have a world class manager in charge. Would anyone really describe moyes as world class? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) No. But he has been consistent with Everton Edited July 30, 2013 by AVFCforever1991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaForever1970 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 People who moan and still moan about having Moyes over Jose really dont get it.Utd probably wont win the league this season, or perhaps next. But they'll get back to winning it more times than not.If they got Jose they probably would win it next season but then after a period he would leave along with the upheaval, Moyes will be there for the long haul like Taggert was.

Zatman Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 yeah I think Moyes> Jose is sensible for club in long term. Mourinho doesnt care for youth players which is his downfall as a manager for me while United have always went for a younger approach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shillzz Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Moyes may well bring stability, but it's a pretty underwhelming appointment. I don't have too much faith in Moyes personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Well United do have the best champions league record of all English clubs since they were allowed back in after Heysel. considering they had a 10 year advantage on Chelsea though. In last 10 years Liverpool an Chelsea have arguably better records Ferguson's teams have an average record in the Champions League as they were indeed average, bar that one period I talked about with Ronaldo & Tevez, where over 3 years (06-09) they finished in the semis, won and were runners up, along with winning 3 league title's on the bounce. I maintain that was the only great team he ever built. Let's remember the Preimership was at it's absolute peak at that time in Europe, and they won 3 title's on the bounce. I mean look at the team from 99, I know Keane & Scholes were missing but Blomquvist & Butt. Yorke & Cole as amazing they were that year were not world class strikers, they were very good mind, but they were not a Van Nistelrooy/Persie. The 1998/99 side was all about balance. I think a lot of the players in it might not be as good individually as players in other teams (though the midfield was up there with the current Barcelona midfield in my opinion) but they just clicked as a team. Cole & Yorke together were far better than they were individually. Some people are just born to play together I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 That formation (look at the positioning) is a little bit like Villa now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voinjama Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 That Giggs - Keane - Scholes - Beckham midfield was one of the greatest of all time. Awesome quartet of players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Can't see them winning the league or doing much in Europe. They've finished 3rd a few times under Fergie though so can only really see people turning on Moyes if he seriously messes up and they're in danger of not even being in the top 4.

Voinjama Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Yeah they've been 3rd on 3 occasions this century 2002, 2004 and 2005. Not many people know that, so if Moyes finishes 3rd which I think may happen I guess that could be something in his defence - kind of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted July 31, 2013 Author Moderator Share Posted July 31, 2013 A team like manure , world wide brand etc etc, should really have a world class manager in charge. Would anyone really describe moyes as world class?I wouldn't swap Lambert for Moyes (this proposition was put to me by a Man Utd fan to emphasise his point). I can only imagine what Man Utd fans are thinking now. I believe it's beginning to dawn on the previously-more-optimistic ones who were in favour of his appointment that they might have been wrong. He has been dreadful in pre-season so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in fairness Fergie had more credit in his bank than any other manager in world football. Moyes doesn't so the knives will certainly be out from press and fans if he doesn't win anything and finishes 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimzk5 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Any Man U fan who is judging Moyes already is stupid. Lets at least wait until the season has actually started. If things go badly and they are 8 or so points off first atfter a dozen the press will have a field day with moyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voinjama Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Yeah if that scenario happened the press would, but from where I am sitting they have not started the season yet, so some people are a bit premature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
