The idea that succeeding Ferguson is the toughest task in the footballing world is an absolute joke. You can do a mediocre job and the "true" fans would still think that you did well XD. Only the plastics would dare to criticize you!

This idea that Ferguson was some kind of wizard and nobody else could possibly get that squad to perform is utterly bemusing.
The comparison with Rodgers is an interesting one, it took him 18 months to stamp his style on the side.
A problem Moyes has done is his two signings can't be further apart in the style of football they thrive under.
Eh. Every club with a creative flair player has that player doing the dirty work behind them.

Mourinho as manager with Guardiola as assistant wouldn't get this squad to perform. The truth is, Ferguson himself never really got it to perform. United were pretty much just as bad last year and the year before that. Almost every game was a uphills battle and a pain to watch. Watching the games, can't say I can see any loss of quality since Moyes took over, its ****, but its the same **** as last year. The only difference is lack of Fergie-time wins.
Ferguson also had RVP and Carrick in imperious, injury free form. And they bailed us out hard numerous times.Mourinho as manager with Guardiola as assistant wouldn't get this squad to perform.

Fellaini looked like a lost lampost in his first spell, I'd like to be convinced his injury played a factor, but honestly not betting on it. His positioning was awful in that midfield position, I'd argue Cleverley is better in that regard lol.

And yet everyone was saying we should have signed him when he was at Everton. He has the pressure and expectation off of him now that we've signed Mata, I have every faith that he will show his Everton form and provide something that we've lacked for a long time with it.
Depends, will Moyes play hoof ball to him, I'd honestly happily have some of that if it means we have some kind of plan B.
I'm not sure what hoof ball to a CDM looks like?
Certainly not as bad as Tyton makes out, but our best players didn't get injured and didn't lose form, and that got us the title. We all said the same thing last season too: Imagine if Carrick gets injured.
No I mean that's how I can only see him impacting a game with a good performance. Lol.
He was bought as a ball winner. His favoured role and something he's proven himself to be accomplished at.
That's rubbish and short-sighted. Admittedly we didn't play well a lot of the time last season, but to suggest it was all down to stoppage time that we won all the time is ****** laughable.
You had 3 stoppage time wins before there even was Christmas, one turned 1:2 into 3:2. Look at the table where would you be with 7 more points. Add the fact Chelsea and City collapsed mid-season last year and mystery solved.
