The Moyes mishap

              

Etoo celebrating his goals

The big Premiership match of the weekend Chelsea vs. Manchester United turned out as expected, if you know what I mean. 3-1 to the home team and surprise surprise Samuel Etoo Fils scored his 1st hat trick for the Blues.
So while Jose Mourinho seems to have all the right moves in all the right places; what is David Moyes doing wrong?

                          
Let’s just look at 4 things he might have done wrong:

1. Not knowing his players well enough:
So we all know how it is when you come in as a new manager and you have to know whom and whom to combine to give to that perfect fit, but Moyes seems to be lacking in that.
Not only does he not know his players, but he just doesn’t know how to combine them.
Yes we all know RVP has been kind of the main man for ManU, but he’s been out for how many weeks now? More than 8 weeks and still counting, there is one player in ManU that still amazes me why they do not start him and that guy is Chicarito- he sure knows how to get the goals even in the tightest of situations, just one example will suffice…he got the sole goal ManU scored in the Chelsea encounter.


2. Clean out of the back room staff:
We all know he (Moyes) is the chosen one, but if you’re chosen does it mean you should clear out every one that worked under Sir Fergie? He should have left at least one or two former staff who knew what it meant to work with the team, we all know Man U wasn’t all that in the 2012/2013 season, but the combination of a great coach in Fergie and his staff did the magic.


3. Lack of Buying Prowess:
It is without doubt now that Moyes simply doesn’t know where to put his money down to buy players. Even he lacks the wherewithal to convince players to come to his club.
If it were in Fergie days, Mesut Ozil would have gone to Manchester United and not Arsenal.
If he does not enroll in a Marketing/Sales class, Man U will virtually just be with unknowns at the end of the day. Do not be surprised if RVP decides to leave the club i.e. when he gets out of injury.

4. Inability to click on time:
Now this we know is any clubs success; there’s a saying that if you aim for 1st and you don’t get it at least you would come out either 2nd or 3rd. But our dear Moyes seems to be okay with being in the top 10. Will not be surprised in Man U does not qualify for the Champions League; UEFA Cup will be a gift if they do qualify for that. Look at Pellegrini he just came to take charge on Man City and he’s doing wonders already, they are currently 2nd on the table and are still in all competitions, in fact people even think they have a chance of beating Barca when they meet in the Champions league round of 16, now that’s a Coach who knows what he’s doing.

We all want Moyes to succeed in his position, but he has to really up his game on time, we still love to see Manchester United in top flight, the beauty of the EPL is having so many good teams fight for the top spot. Please Moyes try not to spoil this for us; we still have your back.
