Gunning for The Double - 4th Place and the FA Cup - The Other Teams' Thread - [R]

The end is near, Moyes.



Soon...

 

FFS Cris

I've just spent ten minutes examining that top picture in the most minute detail, (alhough not detailed enough as it turned out), looking at player positions, his stance and everything else... BEFORE scrolling down and seeing the picture below

NOT funny dude.... NOT funny!

 

It's Sita all over again.

 

Nah not really... the other penalty shout was a cross that then got blasted at Evans from less than a yard away as he was sliding to the round to get to it. It it him in the armpit, his arm was below his shoulder and if he hypothetically did not have an arm, it would have it him on the shoulder/armpit all the same.

 

Was there another? I honestly cant remember one outside of Evans (definite non pen) and Jones (definite pen).

I do think he comes over as a kind of shitty person, but he is a pretty solid ref imo.

 

To give credit, Arsenal looks a different team with Ramsey back.

 

Yeah, I've seen the Evans one and there's no WAY that's a pen but the Jones one was a decent save. Y'know, if he'd been a keeper I mean

Having now seen the game, (well, highlights anyway), it looks to me like he's lost some of the dressing room. Either that or they've just become completely tactically inept since last season.

 

Sad day for you lads...it sounds like hes gone...finally...

 

Who's gone where?

What am I missing... again?

 

Overjoyed. Its like xmas. Cant stop smiling...

All over numerous media channels...club not denying

 

Yeah, Jones' one was unquestionably a penalty. Not sure what he was thinking, but then again I rarely am...

It has seemed to be the case for a while now, which is what happens when you spend 30mn+ in an AM/#10 and slap him on the wing (same for Kagawa), or boast of 80something crosses after the farce that was the Fulham game, and fall out with star players like RSVP and legends of the club like Giggs (despite his being way past it) while overhauling a proven quality coaching set up to install your own significantly worse bunch, play scared against lower table teams, talk about how you hope to one day be as good as your cross city rivals after being humiliated by them playing at half pace in a crucial game, and on and on... at times it has genuinely seemed like he has been trying to wind fans up with his comments. Oh, and alienating several players to accommodate one player who while pretty good is worth nowhere near 300k a week, and who I would not be surprised to hear has input into team selection. He has been spineless, clueless and completely devoid of ambition... basically everything Ferguson wasn't.

I'm also sick of the endless blame of the players and the players aline by pundits and such. Don't get me wrong, we don't have a very good squad and hope we avoid the Europa so we can shed as much dead weight as possible this summer... But with an almost identical squad, Ferguson (hardly a tactical genius for all his other strengths) got 89 points each of the last 2 seasons. That would have likely been enough to win the league this year. We are now on 57 with a max of 69. The very, very best we can do is 20 points worse off with the same squad.

News is running around now that he is getting the sack imminently though. I'm praying it happens asap, as in before transfer requests begin flooding in. The Olympiakos win and Bayern performance (until, as per usual, we got a lead and shat the bed) were disastrous in that regard I'm, I genuinely think/thought that had thrown him a lifeline into next season. Let Giggs or an experienced coach take over for the last 4 games (eg. Someone under no illusions of being manager next year, just write the games off) and please Please PLEASE throw everything in the world at Klopp!

 

Hope Louis van Gaal comes in to replace him after the World Cup

 

NO....right?

 

Why on earth would you want a competent coach to take over after Moyes?!?!?

 

No comment
Manchester United say David Moyes has not been sacked but declined to comment when asked about the manager's longer-term future.

 

Surprised to see it happen so soon just because he was Ferguson/Charlton's choice, but it obviously makes sense.

Big decision now in terms of a replacement though. Quite a bit a damage to be undone. Personally I'd nominate the resurgent Tony Pulis. Hardworking, honest, British. Everything you'd want, really.

 

Would love to see how most journos would handle him.

 

I don't think they will get Klopp. They may get a short term solution like Van Gaal.

But I hope United come and refute it with a picture of a smiling Moyes

 

Moyes can't be gone! C'mon, MU, you know Fergie had a rough few years at first. Give Moyes years! He needs years! Moyes more years! Moyes more years!
