Manchester United boss David Moyes stressed his belief his side can
still be contenders for this season's Barclays Premier League title after they
were beaten 1-0 at home by his former club Everton.
United, down to ninth, are now 12 points behind table-toppers Arsenal
with both teams having played 14 league fixtures.
No they can’t! Obviously Moyes has to say that United still have a
chance but deep down he should be admitting to himself that United won’t be in
the mix this season otherwise he’s seriously deluded.
At this moment in time Moyes should be worrying about United being in
the hunt for a top four place let alone looking to finish top.
United are seriously lacking in midfield and rely too much on Rooney and
Van Persie, they didn’t add enough to what they had and are now paying the
price.
Also it amuses me how everyone was raving about the job Moyes did at
Everton and yet Martinez has come in and instantly taken them to a new level.
Although I’m an Arsenal fan and I’m delighted with our form and progress
we’ve made this season I still don’t think we have enough to keep pace with
Chelsea and City for the whole season, but I can see us finishing third.
I said at the start of the season that it would be either City or
Chelsea occupying top spot in May and now we’re 14 games in I think City will
win purely and simply because they have so many attacking options and will end
up with, if they carry on at their present rate, at least 100 goals which
should be enough to see them home.
Either way the title certainly won’t be heading towards Old Trafford
anytime soon, certainly not with this squad and with Moyes in charge.
