Newcastle United vs Manchester United - April 5, 2014 [R]

Like I said in the Bayern thread, Moyes will revert to what he knows best...i.e. playing percentage football, its so frustrating because clearly we have the players to do much better and play more positively....Yet Ashley Young and Antonio Valencia start every other game...(Fellaini as well of course)

My biggest fear is that if Moyes stays on next summer, he will get rid of players like Nani and Shinji and instead stick with the Youngs and Valencias of this world....

There are enough signs already that this could happen right from the start when he took over...For example, Sir Alex put Rooney's head on a platter and gave Moyes the perfect opportunity to get rid of him but instead Moyes gave him a 5 year contract and continues to play him as the 10 when we clearly have better players to perform that role...I am not against Rooney if he plays the 9, and this has been discussed at length in the other threads as well, Rooney as a 10 is just frustrating, yet I don't expect Moyes to change....Its just a sad state of affairs really....

 

Is it any good?

I always assumed that book is the work of an agent representing multiple players. I never liked the articles much as they were all fur coat and no knickers

 

The trouble Kagawa has is that often when he gets the ball everyone runs away from him.

 

I guessed you might be better with RvP out and the chance to play Rooney at 9

Rooney is simply awful in midfield.

It's all long passing and you then have trouble playing through the middle.
