The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

1 February 2014 2081 comments

Mark

With two clean sheets, five goals and a red card in the bag, Saturday’s events unfold with a quintet of matches and a host of Fantasy assets on show.

For once, there will be plenty of attention on the Britannia Stadium where United roll up with Robin van Persie, Wayne Rooney and Juan Mata in their starting lineup to take on the Potters. Elsewhere, Everton’s home encounter with Villa could well produce profit for owners of Leighton Baines and Kevin Mirallas, while Tottenham’s trip to the KC Stadium will come under focus from those holding Emmanuel Adebayor and Christian Eriksen.

All the key teamsheet news has been captured in our Twitter feed, while the Dugout Discussion room remains open to catch the chatter as the goals and points roll in.

Moyes isn't the man for this job. It's not a knock on him personally. Just not a good enough manager for this level. Most aren't. Was underwhelmed but giving him a chance for injured to come back but I'm convinced of that now.

We can say we were unlucky, but we're playing a flat 4-4-2 with Rooney, Mata, and RVP in our XI. That's ridiculous.

Not much else you can say really. Hope we finish 4th, but not looking likely at all now. Just shit.

    I've always been here, since the day he was appointed. I'm just a good fan and will give him his chance. He has until December to change my mind entirely now. But between now and summer we better be playing formations conducive to the players we have and not shoehorning players into outdated formations.

    hopefully this UEFA position distances Fergie a bit from the club, we don't need him anymore we need to cut ties. legendary man, but, trophies aside, hurt the club starting with Ronaldo's sale when he didn't replace and then continued to ignore our desperate need for a center mid that STILL hasn't been resolved.

    You can definitely blame Moyes. We had enough attacking prowess on the field. The correct sub for Jones was Fletcher.

        we need to stop shoehorning players into positions they don't play. We had enough attacking creativity up top with RVP, Rooney, Mata and Young (ugh) to just stick Fletch in and shore up the space in front of the back 4..

    He has no adaptability. When things go wrong you can practically see him on the sideline crossing his fingers and hoping for the best..he always makes the wrong sub and often makes them too late..I'm not giving up on him, but whereas before I was giving him the benefit of the doubt now it's on him to convince me he's worthy. I'll give him the summer window and a few months to see better formations and defensive resolve.

  Moyes is not the biggest problem here, the whining fans are. If he is ever to become a great manager you will have to give him a chance, you would probably die for Ferguson to come back , so at least wait and see how moyes does in the next 2 years.

    I would never take Ferguson back. It's Ferguson's fault we're in this mess because he constantly ignored the needs of the squad over the last 5 years. He managed to win despite this but it still doesn't change the fact.
    
    I don't care if we're not winning. I want to see good football, good tactics and good substitutions. Moyes seems to be unable to change our fortunes from the sideline. He sets em off at kick off and then hopes for the best.

        That's why I haven't written him off entirely. He has a 6 year contract and is likely here for a while. He just has until December to convince me that he is capable of setting things in the right direction. Decent clear out in the summer, get in the players he wants, and start playing good football next season right off the bat (or near to it).
