Moyes' Everton teams were never as suspect defensively as Man U are now. They were also miles behind any of Ferguson's in the attacking department.

 

Man U won the league last year by outscoring the opposition, esp late in the game, not so much by dominating games from start to finish. They should either have appointed a more gung-ho manager, or will have to put up with all the disruption as they change to a Moyes team. The longer they spend transfer windows chasing after unobtainables like Fabregas, the longer such change will take.

On the other hand, enough world class players can succeed no matter who the manager is. To a certain extent anyway.

 

Good players will win you games just through moments of individual brilliance, as we have seen with Remy and Cabaye, but the successful managers tend to have a very effective style and method, they don't change that depending on which player is available on a given day like we do. You would never get Ferguson saying "Cabaye has gone so we are going to change our style a little bit".

You possibly would if the remaining midfielders couldn't create fuck all between them.

Creative midfielders like Marveaux and Ben Arfa are a luxury when you need solid wingers like Gouffran and two defensive midfielders like Tiote and Anita, as I'm sure Pards would explain to you.

As 1 dimensional as they have looked this season... this is the by worst playing issue. Absolute shambles at the back and defensively in midfield.

But he did change styles when some of his best players left. Specifically Cronaldo out - Valencia in. That's going to change the style drastically.

I don't think Sir Alex did ''The future Man U'' any favours when splashing huge money on Phil Jones and Smalling. I'm not saying they're necessarily bad players, but for the price they paid for both they could've gotten one proven defensive class player. I mean both went for a combined £25m which could've gotten them a really good player. Also, big big mistake not going for Cabaye.

Ben Arfa's a winger.

 

Anita, Sissoko and Tiote can't come close to giving a team what Cabaye can.

Did you include Rafael? :lol: guy is absolutely rank

 

So poor. Never seen him play a game where he hasn't done something that could get him sent off.

 

I was saying this to someone the other day. I've literally never seen him play and not nearly get a red or two yellows. He's a pure radgie.

In which case a more positive manager would look to get more creative play from other areas of the pitch to replace what we lost when Cabaye left. Do you really need Tiote and Anita in the same side? How about swapping Haidara for Dummett to get some width? Then you could always consider using the like of Ben Arfa and Marveaux more than we have done if we are looking to win games at home.

I'm not sure Ben Arfa really is a winger. He seems to perform slightly better playing wide for us, but he's not a winger in the sense we usually use that label. I would only call people like Lennon and Downing wingers really.

 

Do you consider Robben a winger?

Rafael i reckon is a John O'Shea, Nicky butt type. A decent enough sort of player who Man united have always had because you can't have a team full of Ronaldos.

Years ago the quality of their best players would have hidden the weakness'es of the likes of Rafael. But now the rest of the side is mostly average, the likes of Rafael are exposed, and he's been a liability this season if you ask me.
