Juan Mata not making the bench
Arsenal scoring three from set pieces
Balotelli finally misses a spot kick
Getafe beats Barca on possession ( but not goals of course)

interesting times ahead!

I have been trying to understand why Moyes bought Fellaini but i finally got the answer.
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

It looked like there was another terrorist attack at the Etihad! What a bad day at the office!!!I was so hopeful coming into this encounter after events at Old Trafford against Leverkusen but was wary of that short stocky man called Aguerro, and clearly with good reason.

My observations:
1. Smalling CANNOT play right back. Rafael and Jones cannot come back any sooner. Smalling was culpable for the first goal and can never put in a tackle to save his life. The goal was fantastic!
2. Vidic and Rio are slow as turtles and cannot play in 2 consecutive games, at least not Rio. Evans' return cannot come sooner. Aguerro was all alone for the 3rd.
3. Young was a waste of good money. Wilfried Zaha had excellent performance in pre season causing havoc amongst all defenses but Moyes big bulgy eyes cannot see that.
4. Shinji Kagawa's favourite position is just behind the striker. This would have been a perfect game to pay just behind Rooney. Moyes big bulgy eyes cannot see that
5. Evra and Valencia were absent on the left as Navas run the whole length of the pitch to give an inch perfect cross for Nasri.
6. Defensively we were toddlers. Fellaini was covering Yaya Toure when the corner was delivered for the 2nd but felt he should Yaya and go for the ball, with Rio and Vidic. Negredo rose above all 3 and Yaya scored.

Verdict. Moyes is hapless against big teams and seems incapable of making a decision when we're behind. Moyes also believes that English players like Young and Wellbeck can take us to the promised land instead of Kagawa and Zaha. Nani languished in the bench while Valencia made a mockery of himself. Carrick and Fellaini were strangers in the pitch. Rooney did his best and is now the all time leading scorer in the derby thanks to that sumptuous free kick. Unfortunately no one will remember that. We really missed RVP.

Unfortunately I have to agree. Moyes ni fundi wa Grogon and cannot handle this Ferrari that is Man Utd. I remain Utd damu but will not be hopeful on anything. One game at a time. We have the personnel but Moyes does not know how to rotate. In January I think we need defensive cover in Ezequiel Garay and obviously a creative midfielder with defense splitting passes. For now nitajikaza kisabuni.

P.S. @RicDees and @Nostopping, wipe off those smug smiles from your faces!!!


...and that's Manchester 4 u.

Very few people get into a new office and start shining. Hata Fergie took some considerable amount of time. Adaptation is not a quick fix thing. It requires time.

@Nakujua had/has him. Plus Ozil was his captain. 96 points for GW5!

Looks like Moyes bought Fellaini for his hair.

@urstill, agreed, Fergie was given time,but then we hadn't won the league for 20 odd years or so. That's not the case now. I'd understand if we didn't have personnel, but Kagawa, Nani, Zaha and Hernandez are rotting in the bench while Moyes opens his frog eyes and can't see we're being overrun and make tactical decisions in the half!!! For sure the 2nd goal just before the half (defensive error) was the killer blow followed by the early 3rd goal in the 2nd half.

For sure we need to bounce back in the Capital One tie against Liverpool tomorrow at OT. Suarez may feature which will mean more headache for defense. Time for Moyes to show he can rotate the squad wisely. We're used to winning so to ask Man Utd fans to give Moyes time might be too much to ask.
