Of course its on moyes
Buttner? Jones at RB? Starting Anderson the Fat over Afrodude? Taking Kagawa off at HT for some fucking youth prospect? He's unfit to manage a club like United.
Southampton are 4th. The league table as it stands doesn't mean a whole lot.
Yes he did but what choice do we have? Too many injuries and in a few weeks he will only get subbed minutes.

Thanks to Wes Brom and Villa at least. Good shit.

Moyes keeps playing Fellaini in the hole when the chips are down. I remember when we were joking about it in the summer. :/
FT 3-2 Brondby-Copenhagen
Very intense match. Was our 1000th match in the league. Couldn't ask for a better way to celebrate it
Fucking glorious! Trending up.

My feeling is that Moyes isn't really doing things all that different from Fergie. It's just the players aren't playing for him in the same way they would for Fergie. You could see it in the tempo and accuracy of our play. The sloppy defensive mistakes. It's not like Moyes asked for that.

haha, one of my 6 year old students is a stud. scored 97 goals in his after school football league. other kids from my class were on about 10.
Knows more about football than any other kid I had ever met at that age. talking about Arsenal players from before he was born and he loved Ang Lee(the korean way for saying Henry)
You could be thanking Swansea too very soon.

If we don't beat bottom of the league after today's results we may as well pack up and go home.

Januzaj going in wasn't a bad choice. He should have went in for Chicha instead though as Shinji was playing well and shifted Rooney to the striker role. Chicha didn't do much wrong, but just wasn't involved at all. The Buttner and Jones decisions were horrible though. Not sure what he sees in those two as fullbacks. Anderson is shit, but he needed minutes.
send the kid to London, his future lies there, in Wenger's hands.
Shouldn't be playing Rio after his horror show last weekend. He shouldn't be playing Jones at right back. He shouldn't be playing Buttner at all. He shouldn't be taking off one of our only two bright performers in the first half in order to convince an 18 year old he should be signing a new contract.
He made some poor decisions. He let us down, and the players themselves let him down.

Interesting. Would it then not be naive of Moyes to come in and expect the players to play a level above just because you're Manchester United?
Of course it isn't fully on Moyes. Buttner played good over the week, can't blame him for giving him a chance. The Kagawa business is a joke and Fellaini.
For everything else, Rio played like shit. Jones isn't a RB but he played utter crap.
Moyes might be making dodgy decisions but we haven't even scored from open play in the EPL since Swansea. We're playing crap.
Anyway it's early days and I'll remain Calma.

yeah, every team has its blips so it is important that we get as many points before that as we can. Hopefully we can get all our players healthy before Xmas games.
No! Gnarby is a good player. Why can he not play? It's not like he's asked to play like this over a season or any extended period of time. Rosciky and co returning will surely send him back to the bench and he needs to make the most of his game time.
Ideally he shouldn't have played the league cup game though.

You really just realized that now?
Yep game is done. Ref will be on Barca's side now rest of the game.
When I saw him warming up I was all excited thinking Kagawa would be moved behind Rooney or something. I guess we still don't know if Shinji picked up a knock though.

Awesome to get a win without Benteke, Westwood, and Agbonlahor. Delph was great, Bacuna played well, and Weimann finally got a goal

he is an Arsenal fan because of Park Ju young,
Barca actually signed a 13 year old korean, they make me sick how they constantly bend the fifa rules about under age players. They make the whole thing a joke.
Great pictures especially the first one.Awesome to get a win without Benteke, Westwood, and Agbonlahor. Delph was great, Bacuna played well, and Weimann finally got a goal

Ferguson was Manchester United. This isn't Rodgers' Liverpool where he could leave, we'd be sad, and we'd start again. Its not even Wenger's Arsenal, where they'll have to rethink their financial, transfer, scouting and tactical strategies. Ferguson is the greatest manager of all time. He'd assembled a team of coaches, trainers, physios, made the playing side a well-oiled machine. He played the political side well, with the safety net of his reputation. For all intents and purposes, he was bigger than the Glazers.
Quite why Moyes dispensed with those title-winning coaches is a mystery to me, but the squad is the same with an added Fellaini and Zaha, the backroom is the same, the tactical setup should be the same. But the results are not there. Is he failing to motivate them sufficiently? Were the holes in the squad not plugged, holes which the team managed to cover last season without ever quite hiding them? Did Woodward's fuckery in the transfer window put an uncontendable albatross around his neck?
For me, its all of them. But in the same circumstances, Ferguson would have figured something out. If he'd wanted Fellaini, he'd have been training with Man Utd by the start of preseason. If you were losing to West Brom at home in the 70th minute, the scoreline would not have stayed the same until full time. If a hole in the squad was deemed unfixable in the short term, he'd have strengthened other areas to soften the blow.
The guy stank of success, and he'd have done everything in his power to get it. Moyes though? Fuck knows, early signs aren't promising.

Barca aren't breaking any rules that I know of. It's an english rule that the clubs can't buy kids outside of a certain radius before age 16.

Rio was definitely wank, but I'm not sure Fergie wouldn't have played him in a game like this. Jones just leaves me in despair whenever he's played anywhere but CB. I don't really think Buttner was responsible for anything that went wrong today.
My shit list for today is:
RVP
Fellaini
Anderson
Rio
Jones
Thought both RVP and Fellaini were incredibly disappointing when they came on.
