Sunderland 1:1 Manchester United

Post-match discussion


Sun, 24 August 2014

Have people accepted that maybe Moyes was right, and that we need some changes? We have a squad that's geared towards playing fergie football, wingers and crosses. We need to rebuild the squad and it will involve being patient with whatever manager we have. We have LVG for 3 years to build a good squad and take us out of SAF era, I hope we and the board have the patience to let him do so. I think Moyes could have done so, but it's gone now so lets move on, I really believe LVG will sort this out but it won't be this transfer window

No.

Moyes was very happy with the squad until he started getting flack. He was wrong about everything.
 
The worst thing about this is Sunderland played like their usual self, bottom half form. They didn't even game raise and we were playing at their level.
 
For me our best 11 is going to be a 4-2-1-3:

De Gea, Rafael, Rojo, Jones, Shaw, Carrick, Herrera, Mata, Januzaj, Rooney, di Maria.

The way I look at it is that we had 7 of our best 11 players not in the starting line up, I think other teams also would not do so well.

For me the disappointment was that the players couldn't find that urgency.
 
It's a thin line between abject failure and domination and it's just down to confidence.

This wouldn't be such a bitter thread if someone would have dealt with Rodwell.

The commentators are down on us, the papers are down on is and we're even down on us.

We have 9 players out, Sunderland beat us last year. I don't doubt everyone is working the bollocks off to get the team in order. We look raggy at the moment, esp at the back. Part Moyes fault, part Fergie's fault. The team LvG has isn't the best, bust he's working on it, so..

It will be ok, trust me. :)
