Cleverly come up as a winger tho that's the problem with relying on him as a central midfielder....
Defo a lot better then he is given credit for
Actually a whole bunch of united players are....
Playing 60mins every 3 games is no good to anyone
If they were at everton/newcastle playing week in week out the suction would be insane.

What players would there be suction for?
Some of those Utd players did not want the ball on sat lol
carrick always shows for the ball
philip jones is a coward, always shy's away from it
anderson in that cameo showed why some utd fans still have hope, as he isn't afraid to pick up the ball from deep n carry it - problem with him is his quality on the ball can be erratic
Even though he's 24 soon, i still think cleverly can turn it around, look at ramsey - he needs to work hard though and recapture that vibrant, sharp, incisive, 1-2 touch play he had when he 1st came onto the scene
Jones is a defender....
Anderson, Nani, Cleverley.. Moyes has to let go of this trash. I still can't get over giving Nani a 5 year contract
Fellani was an EPIC mistake

Did Pep not say about a year ago he wants to be seduced back into club management ?
as ive already said.... for next up there was a 1 man shortlist and it was drawn up by SAF
the squad is not great but its not as bad as the media/casual fans will make out especially in the center of the park but it is an ageing side and that is on fergie... however this squad and its age would have been perfect for the man who thought he was going to get the job
jose.. not much flair a lot of hard workers and players who need to be drilled at what they should be doing for the whole 90... with 1 or 2 astute jose style signings he would have maintained a title challenging side and for his shortcomings that some of us have been pointing out for a while it would have not reared its head for at least 2/3 seasons because he has no friends at the club..... its no secret he was gutted that his ass licking of fergie for the last 5 years or so was not rewarded with the call he thought he was going to get and moyes getting it instead.... think that was actually sir bobbys decision that at not wanting a brash manager at the club even though thats what a younger fergie was.
once fergie made the choice for moyes i dont think even he thought it would be this bad.... the top managers would have brought the best out of the current squad...gained the players or even demanded the players respect but for moyes to start doing well and start shining he will need a complete squad rehaul imo which he will have the chance to do and with 6/7 world class signings his own players...in 2/3 seasons when he has his own players and built his own side united will be back in the top 4 and challenging for silverware but right now he is being found out for the average negative manager that he is and where as most of us on here and a few other football forums (us the minority) would still be able to see through his rubbish i think its come as a shock to the likes of fergie that he has been so bad that even the casuals and media/press are getting onto him so early in his reign
all he had to do was remain in and around the top 4, beating the smaller sides...winning his home games (like pellegrini and mourinho) and he would have been under 0 pressure at all in this "transition" period and would have got (which he still will) a nice chunk of change to reinforce the "weak" center of midfield in january...he would not have to pander to the old trafford crowd and undermine himself....
as it is right now he is 1 home defeat away from throwing all the blame away from the "weak" midfield, ageing squad, "transition" period and lack of his own players onto himself and once the media and casuals start talking about his own shortcomings as a manager instead of anderson, welbeck, cleverly, young, fellaini, nani and rio.... then there will be some serious problems for him.
As for the bigger problems at man united thats a variable that can not be changed and the previous manager made it work and other managers in worse situations are making it also work and its a different discussion for a different day imo... no one was expecting united to be sitting 8 pts clear right now but at the same time no one was expecting them to be closer to the relegation zone then the league leaders and for a side that just won the league by 11pts and strengthened the squad not losing any players....the board can not be blamed for this happening, with maybe the exception of letting saf decide the manager and even then as i said i dont think fergie would have even predicted this.....
imo having moyes in charge for the next 4-6 seasons will be a lot more expensive than sacking him now and bringing a manager in on a big contract

Lol I disagree with Kompressor's opinion but I love that there are people within the fan base that have his outlook, the worst/best thing is that there are probably loads like him who are perceived by others to be the rational thinkers whereas man like Agony who could see the obvious from early is seen as a gobshite.
Moyes isn't good enough for the job and I don't care how many transfer windows you give him I'm convinced he never will be.
I'm actually starting to feel a bit sorry for him, he looks like he's aged about 6 years in 6 months.

Not got any major Arguements with that other than the assertion that it was Fergie's choice to make. I'm of the opinion that this point has been exaggerated in order to offer Moyes the security blanket that this was Fergie's choice and not a glazer choice. The reality is somewhere in between is the most likely truth.
This squad being just about adequate is correct as long as the new manager was able to make the 2/3 addition he publicly earmarked in the summer.
He said he wanted 2 midfielders (I'm not even convinced that Fellani was one of these, plus Baines. He got nothing and was left scrambling for Fellani on the last day due to interesting negotiating tactics,
The idea that Manchester United's top job became available and that there's was only one man on the shortlist is ludicrous. If true then the state of ownership ais a lot worse than even the biggest doom predictors would believe. The idea that the only man in the short list was David Moyes a man who has one nothing in the game and biggest positive on his C.V is managing Everton (with all due respect to them securely) total madness.
In short I'm not willing to believe it was a case of Fergie telling the suits, "right I'm leaving and David Moyes should replace me" and nothing more was said or put forward. As anyone on here would at least be able to walk into that meeting and give 3/4 other names that were viable who were at least as accomplished as Moyes.
Once David Moyes was was appointed and in place he should have been given the 2/3 players he wanted. The boat should've been pushed out, we all know why this proved difficult and it has very little to do with Moyes. I'm just surprised he didn't cover up Ed's shoddy work by lamenting the "value in the market"
Your may well be right about bringing in another manager, but seeing as we still have the same suits in charge who you believe couldn't add to the short list of 1 what faith have you got that they have the resources to go out identify and then secure the correct man for the job now?
Or should they just ask Fergie again?

It's not even about being rational as opposed to the opposing side being irrational. I agree with most if what everyone else is saying. He's not good enough in the short term. I do however believe he could be in the long term.
The only issue is people seem content to put all the issues down to him without look at the whole picture. A picture that shows he hasn't helped himself in many ways granted but also that he hasn't been helped by the people who's job it is to make things easier for him.
I haven't come out in opposition to anyone stating how the tactics are bad and how his comments after and before games leave a lot to be desired,
The rumours about the training not working for certain players etc.
All I'm arguing is against the train of thought that he is THE problem. He is one of many problems that are coming home to roost right now.
Some of those other issues are integral to Moyes being appointed in the first place.

Deep. Gotta send that to my cousin. He was coming back from London on a Train yesterday when someone commit suicide under it and I joked if it was after the Final Whistle at Old Trafford.

I see what you mean but for me I just don't see how he becomes better in the long term, the reason I think he's a bad fit for you is because of his mentality and I don't see how that changes over time.
What he said yesterday about knowing RVP needed to come off but deciding against it because he factored in what people would say was telling for me, he just doesn't have the self belief and confidence to operate at the very highest level. He's a plucky underdog type, akin to Roy Hodgson in that sense who is doing a fine job of bringing the expectations of England down to the ground.
To persevere with him for whatever reason is just going to compound the damage imo.

What part of Moyes' mediocre career shows that he could get things right in the long term?
Cause it's definitely not a trophy cabinet filled with medals as a player/coach/manager or a football philosophy that will work at the highest level in the modern game so I just wanna know what it is that I'm not seeing.
Yes Fergie, the board etc. should have taken that into consideration when the ruled out more suitable candidates and recommend Moyes but so should fans that think he's gonna keep this sinking ship afloat.

You knew this before he was appointed and have been saying things like this since then.
By that reckoning you are better equipped to choose the next manager of Manchester United.
Now the fact that a random Liverpool fan on a forum albeit a knowledgeable one has a better grasp on what type of manager should manage Manchester United is worrying.
Nobody thought with Moyes coming in that United were gonna win the league this season, some even thought its a 3/4 year rebuilding job. I want to know (we'll never find out) what the objectives of the board are, they're obviously to do better than what's going on now but how much so?
If Moyes was sacked 2moro who'd pick the replacement and has anyone got the confidence that the right man will be picked.
There must be a reason why this upper mid table manager, with his outlook and not a trophy to speak of was the "outstanding" candidate.
It's not even like Fergie picked him coz he was in Fergie's kliq.

Difference between Cleveley and Ramsey is one was hugely hampered by a big move and then a horrific injury, whilst the other has failed to impose himself fully in the weakest United Midfield in 20 years. Now is his time, he's has to take it.
Does anyone else watch/listen to Sunday supplement I listened to yesterday's this morning and the views on united were interesting,
