AVB is a poor coach and he's lost his plan A, B & C, so expect more of the same :D

Don't worry, players are easier to replace than managers. I guess you're finding that out at the moment though.

:lol: Nah, AVB got out-coached by Big Sam tbh. They set up to frustrate and try to score from set pieces and quick breaks, and it worked perfectly. As United have found, teams will do that to you and it's up to you to work out how to break them down.

I think AVB's still looking for the right combinations and style of play. I said a couple of weeks ago that we weren't that good defensively and had ridden our luck, and sadly that was proved to be true. Paulinho and Dembele are more 'engine room' CMs than DMs, and I think he was wrong to drop Soldado for Defoe. When you have so many changes to personnel, some poor performances are to be expected.

I think one of the issues in the West Ham was the lack of width, especially on the left hand side. The tactics on the left meant that they constantly cut inside to an already crowded midfield. Bif Sam di outcoach AVB, but Spurs played into their hands.

Townsend the left-footer naturally wants to come in from the right.. I think AVB should have switched him with Siggy to add more width to our attacks. Good to see Lennon back in training this week, we have missed him.

Not sure how balls from wide areas would have helped against a deep defence tbh. Low balls get cut out and high balls get taken by the keeper or nodded away by their couple of lumpy centre halves. I can't see Defoe winning much in the air.

Arsenal clear at the top! Our first goal was incredible and on a more positive note it was nice to see Moyes get another good result :lol:

Arsenal are going to win it this season I think, playing really well. In saying that, there is a long way to go and anything can happen. As long as Liverpool remain in the top 4 and Manure are struggling I'm happy :D

Call me a bafoon (sic) but if you draw at home against someone you should be beating while your other 4 title challengers win then I’d say you’re under more pressure than the previous matchday…

Brendan Rogers can obviously take a more relaxed approach to things.

yes, ur a bafoon if u belive he is under pressure.
Sir alex has stated himself, that he doesn't expect anything major this year with Moyes in charge.
Unlike u scousers, who havent had much to look forward to in the past, Sir Alex can see the brighter future.......
Oh and how many coaches have u turned over, when Sir Alex was in charge at OT??

Man Utd achieved so many expectations under Sir Alex, that everyones expects results asap under a new coach.
Sir Alex didnt achieve much in his first few years, but look at the legacy he has left.


ps, I have stated many times before, that ManUtd wont make top 4, those places will be taken up by Arsenal, Chelsea, Man city and Tottenham.

Nice rant... :wink:
So you think its acceptable to win a title by 11 points then miss the top 4 completely the following season all because of a new coach who is supposedly up to standard?

Don't delude yourself, if Moyes is still in this position by early next year, he'll be out or his arse.
Utd's business model doesn't lend itself (pun intended) to missing out on CL revenues.
