Exactly. Paint the picture on the training pitch and move forward not hark on about your old teams players. Probably only Guardiola could get away with that if he started talking about what he did with Messi, Xavi, Iniesta etc.

Exactly.

Moyes joins United and gets rid of the Dutch coach Rene Meulensteen who was a big part of helping and improving Ronaldo's finishing.

Ronaldo used to do finishing drills with him after training which paid off when he hit 40 odd goals in 07-08 and he's never stopped scoring.

 

[DixieScoresAgain]

We did not get a fourth place finish and regular European or very close to positions - by using 3 DM's with no strategy lol


'He shows videos while top managers have systems that utilise attacking and defending, Moyes is more about stopping the opposition.'


He used the video as a training tool, not as a substitute for strategies or systems, maybe that sentence is missing a comma or two but it doesn't make sense to me, you can watch a video and still have a system, it's probably just me but any way I read it, it's not quite right.

Why did he not show him videos of some of the CB greats Rio will have seen play like Baresi Nesta Kohler Cannavaro Hierro as an example.

Rio must have left the room thinking How the **** is this guy our manager. when he's being schooled to defend like a low block defender with not much pace who wasn't fit to lace his boots.

But comments by Rio about Moyes's time at United are pretty much that, pretty scathing about his training methods and how out of his depth he was.

Moyes loves a triple DM midfield btw.

He erased United’s DNA in record time by stripping away the remnants of the backroom team of their most recent success, and then filled this vacuum by instilling his own loser mentality.

Souness did precisely this at RS. Giving it the big “I Am”, “doing things my way”, paying no heed to what makes a successful club.

It was a double whammy of pain for United as not only did they start losing via the influence of the loser, the dour football served up was diabolical. Signing Fellaini should have had alarm bells ringing for any remaining United fan who was still willing to give the new fella appointed by Fergie a shot. That infamous Fulham game of endless crosses, no method of play, just endless crosses.

And on Fergie, I’m not totally convinced he was this bad a judge of a manager. His judgement of players was generally excellent, so surely he had an inkling of what a good manager looked like. Therefore I can only conclude, as far fetched as it may be, he deliberately banjaxed the club by leaving them with this deadbeat, thus enhancing his own standing in the game. Fergie's managerial reputation is enhanced with every passing year with no title (will be at least 8)...”god if only we had Fergie in charge”, but the bigger picture is, he is the man that set their downfall in motion with this appointment.

The infamous Fulham game,

Burn happy to defend Man Utd crosses

Fulham's Dan Burn says he had not "headed that many balls since the Conference" after defending 81 Manchester United crosses.

www.bbc.co.uk

“Fulham's Dan Burn said he had "never headed that many balls since the Conference" after defending 81 Manchester United crosses.”

The number of crosses set a new Premier League record.

The 6ft 7in defender, who played 10 times in the Conference for Darlington in 2011, added: "We knew that was going to happen and I was happy for them to play like that."

“I'm six foot seven so it helps when dealing with those sort of balls”

Fulham boss Rene Meulensteen had described United's style as “straightforward”.

United fans post match;

30 seconds in (if only the United board had listed to him)



Granny sums up Moyes very nicely

Jagielka was the fastest player in the league at that time.

I think Westham are done. Don't think they have the fight. Tough set of fixtures, of the 14 games left i see them winning may be 2 at the most. If they go down they will be in a big mess financially. Think moyes has bitten off more than he can chew second time around.

My brother rates Fellaini as the least talented player he ever saw for united. I would dispute that but Moyes just had him run around kicking people and never played to his strengths except when putting him up top to knock down headers.

He told me of one home game where Fellaini once got the ball at his feet in midfield and had no idea what he was supposed to do. In the end he held it up as long as he could and passed it out for a throw in... David Moyes ladies and gentlemen

DixieScoresAgain is a kopite who likes to argue that Liverpool have been frugal in the transfer market by breaking transfer world records in multiple positions, on an Everton forum, whilst pretending to be an Everton fan, whilst his team is top of the league.

I still maintain that Fellaini going to United at that time wasn't a bad buy as a jack of all trades. Throw him on with 20 minutes to go and he can play defensively and can cause mayhem up front if they were chasing a game. A rugged style, but effective for a team at the very top who need an extra dimension to their play that they wouldn't normally use. The big thing was not refreshing the players who should be starters. Anyway, yesterday's news and yesterday's man.

From the BBC's transfer roundup:

Stevie M: Bowen is the real deal. Every bit as good as the overrated Maddison for me. Will be a class signing for West Ham. They badly need a striker though - Lawrence Shankland [Dundee United striker] would be ideal.

 

[MikeH72]

Absolute desperation stakes this from Moyes. Haven’t got a decent defender at the club but collecting attacking midfielders and wingers for stupid money. No doubt our fans will fall for it once again though.
