First time poster but long time reader.

A question for the posters on here, would you rather have had moyes send out attacking sides and possibly throw away points than go with his more defensive style of play? Personally I can't understand why everyone is slating him for the changes he made in the Liverpool game. Had he made the attacking substitutes everyone seems to have wanted and drawn or lost the game, this site would have gone mad with everyone blaming him for losing points by being naïve.

I agree that some of the performances have been appalling this season, but I can understand why he has gone the route he has. He is following in the footsteps of possibly the greatest manager of all time, with one of the hardest starts that a united side has faced in a long time. Personally, I can see why he has stuck with tactics that have worked for him before. As much as we all like putting 5 goals past a side, I think that initially points are more important and if the manager believes these tactics will get us points we have to back him and give him time to get it right.

Not sure I agree with all the negative posts re Moyes but in terms of your post, yes I would rather lose attacking than defending. I want to see passion and enthusiasm, verve and dynamism, not dreary slow build up play. To be honest, I was bored for the last 2 years so I'm not sure we should blame DM.

I would also like to see us really go out and try to dominate sides but I can see why Mayes has gone the way he has. I agree that we have exactly set the world alight over the past couple of years

Hopefully this cautious and yes boring approach is the guy trying to find his feet and get a bit of confidence and a few points on the board.

You mean throw away more than the 8 we already have?
