Manchester United, the once ruling champion in English top flight, seems to be shattering this time thanks to their newly appointed manager and highly demoralized team which is not allowing them to recover from their bad start in the season. Though, beginning was not so welcoming but they somehow managed to surge their rankings a little bit later, but again, they are residing on the seventh place, and more importantly, their miserable defense in the last match is more in the news where they were defeated by Chelsea with a huge 3-1 margin. While Blues fans are applauding Samuel Eto’s brilliant hat-trick in the game, fifty-year-old Scottish football manager is holding poor defense responsible for missing important three points. If we look at the whole match, initial session has being dominated by United, but they could not capitalize their psychological edge for the whole match and left many loopholes into their back and Eto perfectly capitalized on that and gave his team an important win.
It has become a trend with Moyes that everyone starts linking his appointment with every loss to his team, and this time too, many are calling it a failure from the manager while he is not ready to accept his failure to lead a world class team like United. He said, “We have players to come back, and this is a project I know that I’m going to improve as it goes along. I was hoping to win more and be competing a bit more than we’ve been, but that’ll come.”
Like any losing manager, he also criticizes referees’ role for their loss from Chelsea and said many decisions went against them and they had to lose an important game. He added, “I don’t think it’s (Vidic ) a sending off. I’ve not seen Rafel’s tackle, but is not a sending-off. I think it was just a bit of tiredness, but not a sending off.”
While describing their gameplay in the game, he said, “I would, but we got a bit unlucky — the first goal took deflection but the other two, set pieces, terrible defending.
“I thought we played quite well today, especially in the first period, but we needed somebody to take on one of our chances. I thought the game would be tight, and I thought it was other than the two set pieces, which really changed the game. I think, apart from that, we had as many chances as Chelsea.”
