He went there for a clean sheet and come unstuck .

It’s the trouble with Cunts like him , Pulis and the Cuntosaurus... respecting the narrow defeat and hoping for better next game .

So Moyes tactics gets the vote but in the overall bigger picture you know who I blame.
I don't understand how Noble got selected over Fornals in the first place , why Nobles wasn't subbed a lot earlier , being as we all know what sheffield utd do as a team .
Why Moye's went there to get a clean sheet , we need fucking wins .
Why his new philosophy of attacking football the Red Bull Way , was abandoned :lol: ( maybe because we were up against a better team then Bournemouth ).
You are right , even if a few do not see it , we all know who to blame .

Easy this, HE set up to defend and we can't do it properly, HE spent more time on them tactically not winning the game than us trying to, HE will probably keep us up nicking point's here and there but in terms of us progressing we are going to be the mediocre unexciting predictably football team we was when HE first arrived.

Although nowhere near our best, we were the better team (marginally) and created the most chances.

Just shit out of luck.

Blunts had 13 shots to our 7

5 on target to our 3.
BBC website if you don’t believe it. In fact our first shot on target didn’t come until 76th minute.

So not sure what game you watched.

We created the best chances though.They got a bit lucky Friday,like we had a bit of luck the week before against Bournemouth.Everything went their way.That`s the way the cookie crumbles.

Moyes is a frustrating character.
As a man he seems an OK bloke.
As a manager he seems to get the fundamentals right.......fitness, work-rate and he’ll generally do good work on the defensive aspects of the game.
But he just hits a creative blank as soon as we get within the attacking third.
He seems unable to join the dots, to find a combination of ideas to link our midfield to our attack.

I don’t know much about Irvine so I’m unaware of his strengths and weaknesses. But it looks to me as though Moyes needs a trusted wing-man who’s a little more attack minded and who can help him join those proverbial dots.

Problem is though is that I don’t think Moyes even wants to address these deficiencies because in his “play not to lose” approach he’ll feel he’s already sufficiently staffed in his coaching team.
Fancy calling your only son "Barnestoneworth"
He's got another name....
Yeah....."United"
