A win against Barcelona does not make his spell here any less shite - although I'll be the first to credit him if his team pulls this off!
Of course. But I would like to see him no longer be a laughing stock. He wasn't before utd and shouldn't be after

Agree. Very good defensive organization on his team tonight.

Alba about to play injured but then decided to get up and try and start a fight.

It's not actually how moyes always plays either. But it is hardly surprising tonight
Fair enough but look at how we played under SAF when we came up against Real (and Nani was sent off unfairly) then compare it to how Moyes set up for us vs Bayern. A top manager would go for the win, Moyes went for a draw and maybe nick a win. Sorry but at United i dont think thats the kind of mentality we should be looking for

Commentators saying that goal should have stood? Swear they get disallowed all the time?

It's considered one movement from the keeper u thick commentator
Every single time it's a free kick

Look at that pressure by Real Sociedad. Clearly Moyes work

I think Ole did that against boro a few seasons back and SSN said the keeper has to actually kick the ball or drop it to the floor before the attacker can do anything.

Sociedad have beaten Madrid and Atletico before Moyes came. Moyes hasn't rectified beating the lesser teams.

Look at Moyes. Natural pose, he's used to this.

That was abysmal by Barcelona.

Dunno what the commentators were on about either, Real Sociedad didn't put in some masterclass at the back. They were just gifted a win by Barcelona.

Yes!

@Bob Loblaw They were well drilled, pressed from the front and Inigo on a personal note was fantatsic. It was both a great Sociedad performance and a very poor Barca one.

That was never a 2nd yellow. And granero got booked for an earlier offence
Ah, cheers for that, thought it was because of jumping the referee, commentators got it mixed for me as well.

Get in, great result for RSO, defensively they were quite amazing. Funny that they've got 9 out of their 18(?) points against Real, Barca and Atletico :lol:
