David Moyes claimed Manchester
United are “having to play referees” as well as the opposition after seeing his
side lose to Sunderland in the first leg of their Capital One Cup semi-final.
The United boss was upset referee
Andre Marriner gave the home side a penalty when Adam Johnson tumbled in the
area.
Fabio Borini then scored from the spot to give the
Black Cats a 2-1 win.
It seems that Moyes has quickly inherited
Fergie’s delusional philosophy about the whole world being against United as
well as his distinct lack of graciousness in defeat.
Moyes is also looking evermore out
of his depth; I said when he was first appointed he would struggle because he simply
doesn’t have the experience to manage a team expected to win the biggest prizes, and boy is he.
For a few years now a lot of
ex-players and pundits have been prattling on about giving a British manager a
chance at a big club and when Moyes was appointed they were all singing and
dancing saying how he was a perfect fit and he’s great manager etc. six months later
United are facing an uphill struggle to finish fourth, they’re out of the FA
Cup, they’ve just lost to relegation battling Sunderland in the League Cup, and
while they will no doubt get through in the Champions League they have no chance
of winning it. Hardly the record of a great manager is it, he's also damaging the chances of other British managers being given top jobs.
Another thing everyone’s going on
about is United's squad and how Moyes should be given time to strengthen it, but he
had all summer and after passing up signing Ozil and botching the deal for
Ander Herrera, he decided to sign Fellaini, who like Moyes is struggling and
looks out of his depth at United. If Moyes was a foreign coach the fans would
be demanding he be sacked.
When Ferguson retired and he chose
Moyes to replace him he knew that Moyes would struggle and it would make him
look even better and he’s been proven correct.
