Manchester United 2013/2014

i remain optimistic because they will have sacked Moyes.
by then..........team too weak liao.........unless they have me as their talent scout.........
new contract with Rooney damn dumb...........
David Moyes is a football genius.
glazers must be blind....man u is going the way of MH plane disappearing from greatness
hoohoohoo................3-0 down ah.............
There's too much pressure to put on a teenager. Januzaj exceeded the quota of games he should be playing.
Rooney as usual would lose the ball at critical times and he has been doing it for as long as I can remember. That puts a lot of pressure on the back 4.
Tactically, it was sheer rubbish. Going into the game, Pool is the team that needs to win to have any chance of winning the Premiership. Against the top 4 in the premier league, Moyes has to accept the fact that these teams have had a good run this season and they're doing everything right- be they players form, tactics or sheer luck. Playing a soak and strike strategy isn't exactly negative and neither does it mean that the club lacks ambition. Given the current state and unpredictability, would it not be better to err on the side of caution.
Me thinks they should have worked on set pieces and rehearse counter attacking moves in training. The games against Arsenal in previous seasons would have served as good templates.
I thought I'd punt on United winning 5-0 on the return leg. Doesn't look like it will pan out that way for sure.

If any truth in this, only poetic justice. Especially after shambles sun -another record broken, with 3 penalties given :( Couldn't extract more (subscription taboid)

DAVID MOYES has three games to prove he should carry on as Manchester United boss.
The club’s board have grown increasingly dismayed by the team’s displays this season.
And from rumour mill of a "double:

Manchester United could look to make a double raid on Spanish club Atletico Madrid this summer, targeting 25-year-old striker Diego Costa and manager Diego Simeone.
Manchester United could make a summer move for Atletico Madrid duo Diego Simeone and Diego Costa, [football] direct news understands.
Bookmakers are currently offering odds on a replacement for Manchester United boss David Moyes and Diego Simeone is among the favourites.
The Argentine coach has guided Atletico Madrid to numerous successes during his time at the Vicente Calderon and is currently challenging Barcelona and Real Madrid for the La Liga title.
United's season took another dismal turn on Sunday when they lost to Liverpool at home and the pressure is now firmly on David Moyes to deliver a result against Olympiacos in the Champions League this week.
However, [FDN] understands that small talk has already begun at the club with many liking the idea of Diego Simeone at the club.
[FDN] also understands that United will attempt a massive bid for Diego Costa this summer.
Costa has been in superb form this season for Atletico, scoring 21 La Liga goals but he has been subject to transfer speculation in recent weeks.
The relationship between both Simeone and Costa has blossomed since he returned from injury last season and both are eager to continue working with each other.

Up 3-0 and entering injury time, Moyes already fist pumping and celebrating, then some Man Utd player handball inside the box. Penalty to Olympiakos, converted and 3-1 final score.
Game Over!
Game over for DM. His record breaking is now legendary, with 7 defeats over 14 runs
Believe this speaks for most if not all.
Why it's over for David Moyes at Manchester United.. and why he never stood a chance
He knows he's licked!!

I think it's over for David Moyes at Manchester United. I believe many other people at the club feel that, too.
In the days and hours since the Liverpool defeat on Sunday, I think even Moyes has come to believe his chance of building a new dynasty at the Old Trafford giants has gone.
I only have anecdotal evidence for that - and Moyes insisted at his Tuesday press conference that nothing about his future had changed - so it will have to remain as opinion, not fact.
I hope there is still time for events to prove me wrong.
I hope that United beat Olympiakos tomorrow and progress to the Champions League quarter-finals.
I hope that, somehow, there can still be some dramatic turnaround and that Moyes survives, then prospers.
The evidence, though, suggests that some time between now and the start of next season, the club will fire the man they entrusted to succeed Sir Alex Ferguson.
Through all United's troubles this season, many have stuck to the idea that the club would give Moyes time, as they once gave Ferguson time.
It was a nice idea. It appealed to the romantic in all of us. It appealed to the belief that United were a club who would do things right.
United, many maintained, were an island of old-fashioned, long-term thinking in football.
They had given Moyes a six-year contract. It was a statement of loyalty and they would abide by it. They would accept that whoever followed Ferguson had a hell of a job on his hands and they would give him at least 18 months to start getting it right.
That feeling has gone now.
Its last glimmer was snuffed out with the manner of defeat to Liverpool.
This is not 1986.
The Glazers have bills to pay. Big bills. Other elite clubs - Chelsea, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Barcelona - would have acted already.
The Glazers think they have been patient. Now patience has run out.
When Moyes goes, he will be lampooned as the man who blew Ferguson's inheritance, the man who could not handle the step up.
The reality is that he is not to blame for what has happened at United this season - most of their fans would accept that there are much wider issues at play here.
Shaun Botterill Borrowed time: Moyes was handpicked for the job - but many clubs would have axed him by now
Ferguson acted as an apologist for the Glazers for too long. He accepted under-investment in the club's playing resources. He was a genius as a man-manager. He got by.
But the fact is that until Moyes bought Marouane Fellaini last summer, United had not recruited a genuine central midfielder since the summer of 2007, when Ferguson signed Owen Hargreaves and Anderson.
The playing staff stagnated. United remained reliant on Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs for way too long. Three of the starting back four bequeathed to Moyes will depart the club this summer, too.
So Moyes was not just given the task of following the most successful manager in English football history, he was presented with a massive rebuilding job, too - and paired with a rookie chief executive, Ed Woodward, to help him do it.
Anyone who thinks that is a recipe for a smooth transition is living in a fantasy world.
It is easy to say now, but the succession to Ferguson was poorly handled by the club. They were in thrall to Sir Alex to such an extent that there appeared to have been precious little planning for the future.
Surely Ferguson was at the club long enough to have been able to establish the kind of boot room culture that served Liverpool so well.
Why was Gary Neville allowed to leave for Sky TV so easily? Why was Ryan Giggs not promoted earlier? Why was Roy Keane allowed to become an enemy of the club rather than one of its greatest assets?
Ferguson's autocratic style prevented the assimilation of new blood and the proper grooming of a successor.
Moyes was given just one summer to stage a revolution. He never made it beyond the first of the barricades.
And now, as United wrestle with the idea of abandoning their principles by firing their boss after eight months, one fact stands out: Moyes never had a chance.
