I think he's said that after every game this season.

Pretty much.

In a press conference yesterday someone asked him whether he thought that it was time to try a new approach because telling his players to constantly make high crosses into the box clearly wasn't working.

Moyes replied "I would disagree with that"

Not a f'ing clue.

Tonight's game will go like this,

I can maybe see it going that way. Moyes ain't got a clue.

Albert Einstein said insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

If he was still with us and was shown footage of United this year his head would have exploded.

I'm beginning to wonder whether Fergie just got soft in his old age and Moyes was his parting gift to fans of the teams most affected by United's success.

Moyes doesn't know anything else though, he's an average mid-table manager. He did an OK job at Everton over the years but based on how Everton are playing this season under Martinez it's clear that Moyes was holding them back.

Moyes was OK at a small club with little to no money as expectations weren't so high. His only qualification for the United job seems to have been his nationality.

Most of Everton's success this year has been due to the players they have on loan. If Mourinho had given Lukaku a proper chance Chelsea would likely be out of sight at the top by now.

Man I know your a Liverpool fan but that's slightly harsh lol. He finished above you a few times which hadn't happened on color tv and got them in the champions league. He had no funds each season and did that on a bare, depleted squad!
Martinez has gone in with good foundations that Moyes built and gone on from there.
He got Everton punching well above they're weight most seasons.

Weather that warrants him the United job remains to be seen.

Regardless he's still way out of his depth at Utd.

There's a marked difference between getting a small, badly financed team punching above their weight and taking charge of one of the biggest clubs on the planet.

I think it's blatantly obvious by now that Moyes is out of his depth, all the Fergie loyalists like Gary Neville can spout all that nonsense about "giving him time" and "transitional periods" as much as they like but Moyes just hasn't got "it".

Whoever followed Fergie had a tough job and I don't think many United fans genuinely expected a trophy this year, that's not really the issue, it's the magnitude of the collapse and the drastic change in the style of football they're playing that's been the real kick in the teeth.

I think if someone asked Moyes about tactics he'd think they were talking about those little minty sweets.

Man City/Sunderland & Everton/Crystal Palace matches called off tonight due to bad weather.

 

[RagingBull]

I can't believe Fulham are beating Liverpool. The thrashing of Arsenal will be all for nothing if they lose this. Still plenty of time left to comeback in it though

 

[greygoose]

1-1. It's going to be a tough end to the game.

 

[RagingBull]

Arsenal ****ing bottled it again against a big team. Useless, another trophyless season then because your not going to win anything if all you can do is beat the mediocre.

 

[greygoose]

Liverpool battle hard for a 3-2 win. The title dream is still alive.

 

[dino76m]

we were lucky to come away wit a win, 2 silly goals to concede, a better defence and we would have been leading the table

 

[thecorsair]

Arsenal 0-0 Man Utd

All the Gooners who've been gloating over United's poor season can now shut the hell up because they've failed to beat them home or away.

Juan Mata started in his 3rd different position in his 4 games today, this time on the left wing and unsuprisingly he did little and had to be replaced.

After destroying Kagawa's morale it seems like Moyes is intent on wasting Mata's talent in the same way.

If used correctly the pair of them can provide much of the creativity United's midfield has been crying out for but Moyes hasn't the brains to see it.

Shrek was useless again. It's like he put all his effort in at the start of the season to keep himself in the shop window and is now back to phoning it in and he gave it away almost as much as Cleverley and Valencia.

One of the good things about no Champions League football next year is that it'll ensure that the money grabbing c**t finally leaves.

Liverpool have the SAS ( Suarez And Sturridge )

United have CAC ( Carrick And Cleverley )

 

[gypsycatcha]

Good win for us tonight. Joint best away record and still right up there.

Just hope Toure stays fit for Liverpool lol

Toure WTF! Haha!

Responding to a suggestion by Arsene Wenger that Chelsea are afraid of failure Jose Mourinho said this,

"He is a specialist in failure. I am not. The reality is that he is a specialist because 8 years without a piece of silverware is failure."

Ouch!

 

[meth head]

Correct! I can't believe AW would have the front to say that to be honest. He really is going senile!!!!

 

[greygoose]

I like Wenger but he doesn't half dig a hole for himself sometimes. I see Mourinho has now played mind games with City, Arsenal and now Liverpool. That guy just needs to shut up sometimes.
