Moyes Fast Becoming Old Trafford Favourite

 

Manchester United manager David Moyes must wish it were this easy every week as visiting fans began imploring the former Everton boss to give them a wave well before the end of their 4-0 wing at Newcastle.

As the bulk of the side Moyes will field in the Champions League tie at Bayern Munich on Wednesday rested their legs, the excellent Juan Mata scored twice and Javier Hernández and Adnan Januzaj once apiece. In between there were some lovely cameos from the technically assured Shinji Kagawa and Newcastle supporters were left wondering how on earth their team remain ninth.

Despite their own travails at home Moyes’s team recorded their biggest league win of the season and now boast the division’s best away record. “We were very good,” he said, before singling out Mata, Kagawa and Darren Fletcher out for special praise.

“There’s a bit of expectation at Old Trafford, a bit less pressure away. We’ve lost a few home games after being a bit gung ho.”

On the other hand, “Disappointing,” was the word used by Alen Pardew to dissribe his side’s performance.

”We just couldn’t get into the game. There’s no doubt we’re lacking a bit of cutting edge. We’ve been losing heavily and Stoke away next weekend is a big game for us now.

”I understand the fans’ frustration. We’re just not producing exciting football. United were too good for us today. Our last three games have been tough, tough, tough.”

At least Moyes now knows he is not the only manager with problems.
