Danny Baker fucking nailing it.

People who think you can't use stats in analysis are like those cretins on gaming side who think you can't have gameplay and good graphics.

 

[dc89]

This is all Fergie's fault. He chose Moyes. He left the worst United squad in 20 years for Moyes to work with.

 

[Fergie]

His comments.

I generally think you shouldn't read into stats very much, but in this case it just shows how dedicated to this game plan they are. Whether it is working or not is irrelevant. They just don't have the players for it and are blindly sticking with it.

"We kept kicking the ball into the box"

Jesus... This man. Does he not understand that top level football is not just a numbers/percentages game?

Sounds like a Sunday league coach.

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

Moyes' post match comments are great, every. single. time.

 

[faridmon]

At least we are above Man United.
Every cloud...

 

[Scum]

does he play CM?

surely he's better than whatever else they have

Saw your formation earlier. How much for the cone? £50m??

Not today. Today it was "How we didn't win the game, I have no idea"

"I have no idea"

Fucking hell. What's van Gaal up to?

 

[didamangi]

So who do you guys think is going to replace Moyes if he's sacked then?

Yeah. Normally I'd agree with him, but today the stats said it all about Man Utd's dominance, reliance on ineffective crossing and Fulham's defensive tactics

 

[Butts-a-plenty]

moyes interview on now.

 

[wedward]

If I had an attach of RVP, Rooney, Adnan and Mata my first instinct would be to go right down the middle. RVP has never been a player who is going to latch onto crosses.

christ. he's very clearly not suited to be managing at this level.

we kept kicking the ball into the box
how we didn't win i have no idea

you don't say that unless you're managing, like, leeds.

don't think it was only fergie who made the decision or was it only him?

What? Stats are useful yes but they aren't the be all and end all. So much more to a game than bleeding stats.

Someone tell Moyes this please.

 

[rvy]

Moyeezus has blessed us all.

'We deserved to be in front, they didn't'

Fuck off Moyes you non-winning winner

 

[Dark Machine]

@prodnose

Danny Baker fucking nailing it.

This game is what you would call 'a statistical aberration'. Also, I doubt United's 'clear-cut chance' stat or 'goalframe chance' (chance within the penalty area in front of the goal) stat is high from that game. United crossed a lot and had possession but didn't create many good opportunities.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

The squad is not the problem here.

The squad is the problem too.

[MrKaepora]

Looks like there will be no Benfica vs Sporting.

 

[Fergie]

Crystal Palace away.

:lol

Chalk that off.

 

[Vivalaraza]

If Moyes thinks this is as bad as it gets he should take cover after Liverpool and City batter us at OT.

That might be when OT turns a little bit nasty for him.

 

[Scum]

Man Utd haven't had a good/top notch creative MC for a long while, and thanks to Moyes' wingplay, they've forgotten what its like to play through the middle.

 

[LFMartins86]

This is unbelievable. Pieces of the top of stadium are still falling on the field, there might not be a game today.

 

[Baki]

If Moyes gets fired. Would Fergie take over till they find a replacement?

 

[Freewheelin']

Moyes is hilarious :lol

 

[wedward]

Yup. You can see when things go wrong players first instinct is to cross it.

If Moyes gets fired. Would Fergie take over till they find a replacement?

This won't happen.

If they did that, good luck ever hiring a manager again.

 

[Ashes]

I know everyone is picking at Moyes & that's fair. But that was just a piss poor defensive display from UTD today. Two of the softest of soft goals.

 

[bud]

isaac on 606 right now is absolutely adorable.

 

[Meadows]

why have they got a 4 year old on 606

 

[Randdalf]

isaac on 606 right now is absolutely adorable.

Where has the organisation gone? Extremely vulnerable.

Weren't Everton hard to break down?

 

[vgJames]

Today is the day I become team #MoyesOut - I was all for giving him time and having a trophyless season this year and possibly next for the sake of transition but he has really pushed the limit of 'transition'.

This squad won the league last year and has added Januzaj and Mata. A league winning team plus two exceptional talents. Yet we're playing aimlessly and slipping down the table.

 

[Marc]

If Moyes gets fired. Would Fergie take over till they find a replacement?

It would make things worse if he did. Any replacement coming in would know he is on their shoulder waiting... best to give it to Giggs or someone.

What is Capello up to these days? Still rate him as a league machine.

 

[wedward]

Also, Carrick is done. He needs to be replaced. He is like Arteta, but not as good. I also think Arteta needs to be replaced.

His passing is slow. He is slow. He can't defend.

 

[Meadows]

HAHAHA Carrick a world class player?

 

[Baki]

Yup. You can see when things go wrong players first instinct is to cross it.



This won't happen.

Tottenham/Chelsea fire managers all the time. They don't have a problem getting managers in.

 

[Timbuktu]

It will be fun when teams have to give up on fourth and give actively avoid that Europa league place.

 

[rvy]

HAHAHA Carrick a world class player?

Moyes a world class manager.

 

[K1LLER7]

Fergie, up for some Clubs?

 

[Walshy]

HAHAHA Carrick a world class player?

I'm dying.

"Manchester United fans are patient but I'm not going to even listen to United games on the radio anymore".

It's been three quarters of a season, I'd love to see these United fans to experience a bit of hardship, most of them have been privileged watching United for 20 years and having them win every game.

 

[wedward]

Tottenham/Chelsea fire managers all the time. They don't have a problem getting managers in.

Do they fire them and then bring back the most successful manager of all time?

 

[Broder Salsa]

Supporters that keeps bringing up Mourinho on 606.

HAHAHA Carrick a world class player?

He's a great player tbh, not world class/the best in his position, but on an actual functioning team he's great... But he needs the team around him.

 

[pappe]

Lets just force SAF to come back till we find a proper replacement. Giving Moyes the summer transfer window will be disastrous.

 

[Vivalaraza]

If you're listening to 606 or TalkSport or any such phone in for any reason other than a few lols.

Pls.

It worries me I live on the same planet as some of those people.

 

[il Diavolo]

What is Capello up to these days? Still rate him as a league machine.

Recently renewed his contract with the Russian national team. Doubtful he'll ever return to club football.
