hoopLA: Did he finished top 4 for once? Did his 4-4 draw not prevent Manchester United from winning the EPL? Which other manager outside the top four was as consistent as Moyes. You no know ball 4 Likes |

My believe is that a coach is great if his tactics align with the team he is taking over. Or that he has been given a big cheque to bring in new players (his first choice players). The other alternative is when a coach inherit a world class team like when Xavi, Iniesta, Messi, Alves when in Barca. |

hoopLA: He was like this at Everton. Every top 4 team dreaded playing against Everton. They would give you a high tempo football for 90 minutes |

lekkie073: Yes. This is Moyes we knew at Everton. Everton was battling relegation season after season until Moyes arrived. He kept them on top 6,7 and even finished 4th once. All on low budget. In United, he never had the opportunity to bring his kind of players. The pressure of post SAF era was too heavy for him. 6 Likes |

Man Utd starting lineups vs Man City:- De Gea, Ferdinand ( Evans 46′), Vidic ( Jones 46′), Evra ( Rafael da Silva 72′), Smalling, Carrick ( Cleverley 46′), Young, Nani, Anderson, Rooney, Welbeck ( Berbatov 89′) Subs:- Lindegaard, Jones, Berbatov, Park, Rafael, Cleverley, Evans ........ The above community shield 2011 kind of reveal something. It was about time United needed quicker legs to replace Ferdinand, Vidic, Carrick, but SAF was slow to do this. Same with his slowness not to replace Scholes and Giggs by calling for fund to buy a player like Modric. What we have in the above was that we were down 2-0 at half time, then SAF removed the tiring legs like Vidic, Ferdinand, Carrick at half time. He brought in fast legs- Jones, Evans and Cleverley. Then we scored two. Later Raphael for Evra, and we won 3-2. Now these young guys carried on winning matches easily and scoring many goals. We were topping the league too. But one major blow (6-1) loss to City, SAF reverted to old legs (if my memory serves me right). Till today, we still suffer low quality from defence to midfield. |

Karleb: Manchester United was alreading going down before Ferguson left. For two to three seasons, we were going to the Manchester derby matches as the underdog. Even when we managed to win, we were being outplayed and relied on counter attacks to score, then soak the pressure. The tactics was more like soaking the pressure, rely on luck to score, late winners etc. The defenders were old and relied on the team playing as a unit to work well. We conceded first in many matches and the forward players helped turn in around. When Moyes came in and decided everyone had to play in zones instead of forward players going back to help a lot, defenders like Ferdinand, Evra and Vidic were exposed. Evra's wing was already becoming an issue when SAF was here. Vidic and Ferdinand lack of pace, coupled with their age was an issue considering the pace of opposition players in modern football |

At least a coach with experience is better than an apprentice coach. See what Moyes is doing with a small team. But she, the weight of Man United is heavy on coaches. Even Van Gaal got confused at some point. When he became deep in fire, he resorted to playing more of kids just as a defence that he was building for the future instead or helping to raise future super stars. 1 Like |

Illimitable What I said is simple. Mourinho does not do well with a young team (bar Porto). I did not say he doesn't promote young players. Mourinho does well with an experienced side. Individual players who can hold their own and make few mistakes while parking bus or protecting a lead 1 Like |

raumdeuter: Hahahaha see excuse. Zidane was a number 10 which made him more directly at goal scoring function than Sterling. And Ribery played a more advanced central role than Sterling where he should have scored far more. So based on your logic, Sterling is greater than Ribery |

raumdeuter: Sterling and Suarez almost won Liverpool the EPL. The way Sterling was destroying opposition fullbacks in the wing in Liverpool, Rashford and Martial might never get there before they retire. As for Salah, he is one of those players who could not hit their potential at early age (unlike such players like Rooney). Even Kane struggled in his formation years. Vardy is another example. Salah slow development had nothing to do with Mourinho. |
