The longer Moyes stays in charge the more likely he and the team will improve. |

It'll be at a vastly slower rate than if you had a good manager though so it's all good ![]() And I really do believe that Moyes' tactics are stone-age at best and will never be good enough to get back to the top. |

Time will tell about the rate. The tactics are overplayed on here. Outside when I talk to fans it's more about our weaknesses. I was talking to someone yesterday and he was saying how quickly people forget Fergie having to recall Scholes out of retirement. Against Swansea we were easily the better team until Fabio went kamakazee, just didn't have enough in midfield to unlock their defence and play those incisive passes, but all that gets forgotten bcos of the result. |

I'm sure you'll get plenty more crosses in against Sunderland

Manchester United top the Premier League for crosses per game, swinging in an average of 26.65 of them in their 20 league games so far this season. In the New Year's Day defeat at home to Tottenham, they took the policy to new levels. A whopping 47 crosses were lobbed goalwards for Vlad Chiriches and Michael Dawson to deal with. That was a United high for the season and more than in any game they played last term. It isn't proving an efficient use of the ball in the final third. |

I don't see how people can question that his style of play is crap. The games you won, you'd win regardless as you had a far superior team. Probably the Leverkusen match is the only time some proper quality has been produced.![]() ![]() This isn't some myth that has just been made up by everyone

Dot I said it's overplayed on here. We've always played with our wingers and I agree we cross more this season but the idea that, that is Moyes sole tactic simply isn't true and I would hedge it's from ppl who haven't watched us play. About a third of our chances created have been through the middle. Anyone that saw the last 20 minutes against spurs knows it wasn't just a heap of crosses. Like I said, it's overplayed bcos it's easy to atm. Every accusation will stick against the guy bcos we're struggling but it's a half truth being exaggerated. |

It is quite clearly his main tactic. We've created fork all centrally because either the wingers don't cut in or no one drops into the hole to receive it to enable us to play central. When Rooney drops deep it's into cm not the hole and most of his passes when he receives in that area are cross field to the wings |

Mate about a third of our chances created in both the PL and CL have been created through the middle (I haven't included those in the box either bcos that would be wrong). I agree though, the quality of our midfield and Rooney going deeper means we're forked in terms of being incisive through the middle. But that's as much down to the quality in midfield as it is down to Moyes. |

If you're referring to the lady dressed like a goddess then I honestly don't know. I just like the red hair 'suicide babe' look and she's in a City shirt, win win. Sad thing is I've probably got more chance of getting the ride from papa's avatar than her

Will be keeping Cech in my pocket for the next 3 months. Thanks Pedro
