Welcome to Barcelonaton FC
The old Trafford reference and Stamford bridge reference were made to point out that he'd won on 3 occasions in 8 when Moyes couldn't in 44.
I disagree that it's a fair comparison Moyes last 2 squads for the seasons you mentioned were made up of entirely players he chose who were on board with his expectations and philosophy. Koeman went into a squad being ripped apart by Liverpool and Shaw to UTD yet did well when they were being talked of as potential relegation candidates, he then bettered it despite losing players again.
I'm on the Emery camp, but I'm glad we can choose from these two as appose The Scotish Koeman, Pellegrini or FDB.
This.
He lost Lallana, Shaw, Schneiderian, Clyne, Lovren, Rodriguez (injury). Took time to adjust and had European commitments last season.
Replaced what he lost with Mane, Forster, Wanyama, Van Dyke.
