TBF RM did not have all 11 players in the 18 yard box - he tried to play the game out with possession football, and failed by 6 minutes - I agree it was a frustrating tactic! - he will learn from that hopefully plus points were two great goals!I thought Moyes was back when I was watching the second half yesterday.

We've beaten his teams every single time we've played them...Hope he doesn't get a job in the prem. Not afraid to admit that if he took over a team like West Ham I'd be scared to play them

Just the twice, granted. But Martinez has his number.
You're right! 29th January 2000 at Goodison, 2-0. I have no memory of that.Pretty sure Walter Smith beat a David Moyes side in the FA Cup. I might be wrong there though!

That's three from three!
Preston were the better team for long enough periods of that game.
When he took over we were in a terrible state.Moyes, took us from dross to quality in a few years, kept us there whilst those around spent massive funds but could never take us the next step... Martinez = the next step in our evolution back to the Grand old team we know and love and miss.
Moyes whilst to many was an abomination, was in fact an essential step to our revival, I can think of very few managers in his time that could of done the job he did and I am grateful that we got him, and that he did what he did for us whilst he was here.
Could of left earlier, but ultimately even in leaving, gave us 27mil for a player Martinez replaced with ease.
That being said, since he left.. massive c***.
People really have forgotten just how bad we were when he took over though.

Excellent post. Spot on IMO.
From expecting to lose every week, waiting for a relegation battle every year...to building an exciting team, with exciting players who year on year were challanging near the top of the table was a massive improvement. In a time where cash became king and we/moyes didn't have any moyes was massive to where we are now.
Because of that I can't hate the guy or forget what he did. Even if he (intentionally or not) turned heel when he left.
Right guy....right time. Just like Roberto now!
Exciting players but as far as you can get from exciting football.
