David Moyes criticises Premier League fixture list

Manchester United manager David Moyes says he finds his club's start to the season “hard to believe”.

Among their first five games, the champions play Chelsea at home and Manchester City and Liverpool away.

Moyes said: "I think it's the hardest start for 20 years that Manchester United have had".

Is this a bit of bitterness that’s spilled over from last night? It’s strange that Moyes has come out with this now and not when he took over six weeks ago. 

Yes when you look at it United’s first five games are quite tough, but, that in-turn means there will be a five game spell where they’ll have it much easier.


It does amuse me when managers criticise the fixture list because each teams plays each other twice over the course of a season, so if you have a tough spell here you are guaranteed an easier spell there, that’s how it works and moaning about won’t do anything to change it, so Moyes and any other manager this season, or any other season, who moans about the order of the fixtures, shut up and get on with it.
