Like most of you, I'm less than happy about the style of football that's currently being played under Moyes. Some of the team selections and substitutions are baffling. Where are the likes of Kagawa and Hernandez? Things will need to improve quickly if United are to remain in the title race. I still believe that a top 4 finish is likely. We have a great squad.

Positives: Moyes is playing Januzaj, and he's signed a 5-year deal. Ferguson would have never played him. This is huge.

What I do find unbelievable is the amount of people calling for Moyes' head 8 GAMES INTO THE SEASON. Are we Chelsea? There are still 30 games left to play. This is Moyes' first season at United. The greatest manager of all time has retired. Let's take a step back and think about how lofty our expectations actually are. He's overhauled practically the entire backroom staff and had a disastrous transfer window which was not helped by the Rooney situation.

If it takes a season of being out of the title race and fighting for the top four before Moyes begins to have success at United, I'll still support the club. We have no god-given right to win the league. Yes we are Man Utd, but we are a uniquely different Manchester United than we have been in the last 25+ years. The squad needs some changing. The manager needs time. Let's get behind him. Can't believe people are already screaming for Moyes to be sacked.

Moyes isn't being paid £5m a year as some sort of apprentice. At that price he should already be the finished article. The reason for the frustration is because of the massive mistakes he has made behind the scenes. £4m extra for the wig, sacking a successful back room staff. This though is nothing compared to the lack of progress we are seeing on the pitch! There were many of us fearful that his defensive, negative style was hard wired and unfortunately it looks like it is. He's had a lot more than 8 games to implement his changes. (Perhaps he's struggling because the players just don't buy in to 3 passes and a hoof upfield)
I would be more than happy to see United change coach every 3 years if it brought us success and constant evolution. (SAF was unique and we should not try and emulate him)The thought of 10 years of Moyes is far too depressing to consider!

Didn't we have a long and successful period under SMB to, so it happened twice not once and it can happen again and SAF obviously thinks DM can do it for us and we looked like the attack is starting to click now he needs to get the defence at full throttle and we can go on a big winning run

IMO all that Moyes has in common with Sir Alex and Sir Matt is his Scottishness. Yes both Sir Alex and Sir Matt before him had long and prosperous reigns at the helm, but so far Moyes looks completely out of his depth.

As mentioned by unitedred71, Moyes is hardly inexperienced. He hasn't in his career produced the 2 things that are needed to be the United manager. 1 attacking football and 2 tropheys.

There are a number of other managers who would be a better fit who provide attractive football - Klopp, AVB, Laudrup, Conte and many others.

I think if by Christmas there hasn't been a massive upturn in not just results but performances too then he needs to go.

Even Moyes replacement at Everton has won a trophy and plays attractive football and he's only 40 pretty scary that when you think about it as he's only going to get better with experience, but with moyes he's not a young manager anymore and I just cannot see him developing as to me he seems to set in his ways.

I know everyone on here blames it on his Everton tactics and Everton mentality, but I think that's unfair on Everton as he had the same tactics and mentality at Preston, so for me its David Moyes tactics and mentality nothing to do with Everton or anyone else.
