Are people really convinced he might be sacked or is that just wishful thinking?
Moyes So Far!

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

I usually Gary Neville's opinion, but he's immediately saying today has nothing to do with the manager, because Fulham defended so bravely and because United had one million chances (i.e. crosses).
Garbage. It's the managers job to give the players instruction, and if his only instruction is to twat it into the box as hard as possible, then the onus is on the manager. The 46 crosses in the first half didn't work, so why persist with it? Moyes is hugely at fault.

Moyes just isn't a winner. Has never won anything. Doubt he ever will. Incredible he was appointed Utd manager. Laughable really.
There is no part of this that is acceptable. Has to go.

Ive been an advocate for giving moyes time, but today took the biscuit. Tactically flawed today. Aimless crosses into a box where fulham had 7 players at the very least for most of the game.
There was no change in emphasis at all. One dimensional at its finest.
The only reason we scored really was due to fulham tiring.

If he isn't, then something really worrying is happening at the club.
Wrong man for the job. Cant motivate and get the top players here playing near their best. Has done nothing all season to suggest that progress is being made in any area. Sorry David, I'd love to give any manager a second season so he has the time to build his own team but what you've done to this one suggests you're going to fall well short of what is expected.
Arsenal next, another Chelsea type mauling and he'll be looking over his shoulder.
I've been pretty patient with Moyes but this result really makes it hard to support him anymore.
Nothing at the club has changed and it seems as if he is trying to implement the same tactics that Fergie did, despite having spent 60 odd million on the likes of Juan Mata! I mean we have Juan Mata now..what are we doing lobbing in 80 crosses a game? We need to modernize and change up the way we play football. I always held out hope that Moyes was the man for the job but now I just can't see it. There isn't even a semblance of improvement.
I hope im wrong and he does come good. He is on a 6 year contract so its likely he will be allowed to stay till next season. I really hope he can right the ship and somehow miraculously get us into the CL next year.

I don't think we can get a decent replacement now, so he may finish the season. But given the results and play, really it's impossible to be worse. I don't like caretakers, but that's ridiculous ... 80 crosses today. I have now words.
I thought that was a really odd comment.
Look at the tactics.
I hate how people are taking the stance that Moyes did his job and its the players fault (all season but more to the point this game)when it was clear Fulham setup to allow us to have possession and get us on the break. And surprise surprise both their goals came like that.
Moyes should have changed things sooner but more importantly encouraged to keep going forward instead of sitting back. At 2-1 we had them on the ropes but started to sit back

I have officially been turned after today. #MoyesOut
Its true Fergie used to always say nobody is bigger than the club. Hopefully he will go but I think they will end up trying to stick by him to the bitter end.
Its an attacking substitution, going for the win, and Valencia wasn't to blame for their goal, our Captain only needed to do what he's done a million times in his career and head the ball away and its a win
This is what didn't make that giddy when we signed Mata, great player but at the wrong football club sadly.
He was speaking shit the whole game. He spent ages going on about how players should be out wide and stretching Fulham's defence, when all we did was get it wide. Awful tactics.
Because lumping crosses in quite clearly wasn't working and there was no thought of a plan b.
As Nev said today's result wasn't all Moyes given the amount of possession we had but it's yet another to add to the list.
It's not good enough. Sack him.

I hate when he takes off a midfielder like Fletcher or a defender like Raphael to throw the kitchen sink. It just feels stupid.
We already had them under an absolute blitz. Put Januzaj on first, and trust your players. Then when you have your goals, you might have a team left with some shape that won't concede again.

A lot of people jumping off the good ship Moyes today I imagine.
6 months of excuses and still shit.
Ta ra Moysie!
Ta ra Moysie!
Whether Fergie is bigger than the club or not is currently being put to the test.
Anyone who doesn't realise moyes et al are to blame are blind.
Tired tactics, players don't want to play for him/them. The point where this was a 'transition' has well gone.
Need to get rid before he can make any stupid decisions in the summer window.

What else would you expect against a team camped on the edge of their areaLook at the tactics.
I hate the football he lets us play. Genuine hatred.
Gary Neville has been the worst pundit this year.
How is it an attacking substitution when the player coming on is worse going forward than the one going out? Valencia is fecking shite defensively and offensively.
Welcome!!!
Rafael ruined attack after attack. Valencia was an improvement.
Ask Bayern, Real or Barcelona how they handle it you cnut.
The time has come.
The worrying bit is SAF was given all the resposibility of picking a new manager - and opted for his Scottish friend because he's made it from Glasgow to England and work a bit.
Which of course is the reality with the Glazers as owners. Naturally they're completely clueless in everything concerning football, so they've decided to just let SAF give the job to his man without seeking out other candidates.
Every top five manager in the four or five European top leagues would do a better job than Moyes has done. It's almost unthinkable how poor we've been.
Today, is the straw that breaks it all...
until today I was giving it the "needs time" approach.
But bloody hell, that was a 7-0 game there today, to not win, and to be losing for ages is a scandal.

You forgot the crosses.
Would it have been better (not in terms of points obviously) to lose the game at 0-1 than drawing it so late and in that manner ? This draw feels worse than a defeat to me.
His interview will be infuriating. He'll say we played well, got the ball in a lot and were unlucky. THERE ARE MORE WAYS TO PLAY THAN CROSSING ONLY!
The second goal didn't come on the break the entire back 4 were in place
An attempt to mix it up a bit and at least show something other than completely one-dimensional, predictable tactics of putting it out wide. Perhaps we wouldn't have incredible success through the middle, but crossing clearly doesn't do much for us either. Fulham are currently bottom of the table, so even with plenty of men camped in the box we should be able to break them down.
Move the ball around, use the skills of our record signing Juan Mata to pick a pass into space.
