Topic: David Moyes was the manager of Manchester United

[Crosby Nick]

i actually think this thread may look a tad daft come the end of the season.Im not saying he is setting the world alight but with the team he was left with from Whisky nose he is actually doing quite well IMO. Shoot me now. 

Define quite well though. They may well end up above is, they may well make top 4. They have a good chance of winning a cup. But really unless they win the League or Europe I think this thread will be just fine.

Didn't see you boys appear so quickly last weekend. Probably an issue with your Broadband or something.

Was on discussing the match and our issues after the Cardiff match.

The butt hurt a United win causes Liverpool fans these days is hilarious.

[Lawnmowerman]

Only Liverpool fans can find the negative with this.

Sorry man. We're delighted for you. You go Moyed Boys!

Mate, SAF is pulling the strings from behind remember?

Let me guess, he's a mere tour guide these days is he

Unlike the butt hurt us taking the piss out of you despite you winning causes you? By the way, you need another 3 goals to make it an impressive CL scoreline

Or maybe we were agreeing on the fact that it was a bad performance, so there wasn't anything to add. How about realizing that winning 5-0 away from home in europe is pretty damn good even if leverkusen were wank?

And I bet you jump for joy when we win a game dont you?

Not as hilarious as a grown man using the phrase "butt hurt". Touching you'd think we would want to read a detailed breakdown of what went right though.

[Erics Collar Don't Mata]

I'm not going to lie that I don't mind seeing Liverpool lose.

But I don't go and pick out every single possible negative that I can find when Liverpool win. I take my hat off and say, good win.

Not as funny as the fury spewed by United fans at every dropped point or defeat. There's actually an admission about United in what you've said there. United have slipped and you know it. It shows in how thankful you all are for results like last night.

Trust me when I say we're the ones doing most of the laughing.

If you want to see credit for a utd win, you could you know, go to a utd forum. Just a thought

There is no doubting we have slipped. We are going through a big transition and finding it tough. We will not be the same under Fergie, no doubt. But we can't be happy with a very good performance, our best so far this season in such a big game for the club?

Liverpool wouldn't be happy with a big away win in Germany? C'mon.

You lot actually came in here expecting praise for that win. Bless.

Dragging the club to shit slowly but popping up with a few good wins every now and again to convince the rose-tinted fans that he's the right man. Good jod Agent Moyes.

[Crosby Nick]

Course we would. We'd have the decency top keep it to the appropriate Champions League thread though not try and piss on your chips elsewhere!

Right, I shall vacate the name calling for a bit (partly my fault in the first place as we know) and leave it for the more sane amongst us to debate the merit of Moyes.

We didn't come looking for praise. We came to get opinions on the game. And all we get is Bayer are shit, easiest UCL group in history and all that. It's a good win, why can't Liverpool fans accept that?

What were you guys doing watching us in the Champions Leaugue for anyway. Memories?

[Ziltoid]

Fucking hell Moyes really is the greatest manager of the last decade.  I've lumped on for him to will all 4 trophies.  After last nights performance it's like printing money.

[Crosby Nick]

Haven't watched you play in Europe for a few years now. I miss the annual hilarity when it does come but on the whole its a good balance.

[dernoom]

Yawn

[blert596]

fair play. 5-0 is a good win in Europe over anyone.

I was bladdered for fuckin ages when we beat them (pretty much before as well). Missed our flight home the following day as well so stayed drunk.

Didn't go onto Redcafe to see what they thought strangely enough.

That was probably because I have no interest whatsoever in what Mancs think of us.

It was a decent win, nothing more. Just like how we beat Beşiktaş 8-0, sure the scoreline looked great but the opponents were dogshit.

Don't know about the rest on here but I sure as hell didn't watch it, was reading it on BBC website. Haven't watched a United CL game for 5 years. Had my interests firmly placed in Madrid v Galatasaray.

I am certain most of us and you guys never expected united to win 5-0 against the 2nd placed team in germany away from home. If you read the comments prior to the match you would see the same...but then its a futile discussion.

[dernoom]

I haven't watched you guys play in the Cl for a few years as well, but for an entirely different reason.

OI OI!! BANTER!!!

[loozy]

What did Leverkusen do last night? Roll over and kiss your feet?

Jaysus, they are the supposed second best team in the BuLi right now but this? Embarrassing stuff, especially when playing a weakened United.

Fair play to you lot, though, you exploited their weaknesses (mentality first and foremost) quite neatly, it seems.

[KERRYKOP]

2013 Red Cafe Bravery Award in the bag for you.

  , honestly though, I would have no problem watching you or anyone else as long as it isnt clashing with a united match. To each his own maybe.

[robgomm]

Heck of a win and United are probably the form team in the Premiership now. I thought the team selection was smart but you have to wonder how well Giggs-Jones would work week in week out. They are perhaps gonna be more defensively vulnerable without Carrick.

[The 5th Benitle]

I could be in both you know..and what exactly is your point of a forum with a thread on United?

Can you translate this into English please?

[Johnnyboy1973]

Look much better in Europe than domestically.

The irony being they have less chance of winning that than the league.

[Crosby Nick]

I know they beat Arsenal but I reckon Arsenal have still picked up more points in the last 5-6 games. Could be wrong.

[SP]

Last 6 games, Mancs have dropped 4pts, Arsenal 5. In the previous 4 games, Arsenal dropped no points, Mancs dropped 9 points.

Thank you Benedict.

red Mancs - 4 wins 2 draws
Arse, Chelsea, Newcastle - 4 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss
Blue Mancs - 4 wins, 2 losses
Southampton, Liverpool - 3 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss

Extend that to 8 games, and you have 2 losses for Utd to throw in, while Arse have an extra 2 wins

[Lenin.]

I'm not going to lie that I don't mind seeing Liverpool lose.

You wear a hat?

I was going off last 6, aye.

It was obviously an amazing result, beating one of the top European teams 5-0 away from home is the sort of thing that happens once in a blue moon.

There's no doubt that Moyes is an above average manager, it's just that he's not a great fit for such a big club with huge expectations because he does not have experience of winning - caution leads to underperformance. He'll do just fine because of the help and support of Fergie and the immense global image and revenue of the club. I think he'll adapt his ways to throw more caution to the wind because he's gonna have to. But it doesn't come naturally and that is key - he'll always be out of his comfort zone. You can see it already on the touchline.  He's not Sam Allardyce, but neither is he Jurgen Klopp, Pep Guardiola, Rafa Benitez, Fabio Capello, Guus Hiddink, etc. which is the sort of manager we thought you might be able to attract.

[beardsley4ever]

Excellent win for United.  Credit where it's due.
