NO MORE MISTAKES FROM MOYES OR UNITED RISK TOTAL HUMILIATION
Leaving the Etihad Stadium last night, you could not help but wonder whether the two Manchester clubs are even direct rivals this season.
Both clubs can claim to be in transition after changing manager over the summer, but City’s 4-1 evisceration of their great rivals on Sunday drew a stark comparison between the two squads.
City have depth in every position, technical quality, a fierce desire to win back the Premier League title and a manager with the tactical nous to handle the big occasion.
This is no kneejerk, but five league games in, United should forget about the title. Their priority this season should be to finish in the top four. David Moyes was handed a tough fixture list early on - and even suggested some conspiracy against United - but the Scot has picked up just one point from three clashes against direct rivals and his side have produced just one convincing performance domestically.
Aside from the opening day defeat of Swansea, they have lacked cohesion and looked defensively suspect, the legs of veterans such as Rio Ferdinand and Patrice Evra creaking,
Marouane Fellaini’s arrival on the final day of the transfer window was vital, but United’s midfield is still their problem position and fails to compare with that of City, Chelsea, Arsenal or Tottenham. The deeper frustration for Moyes will be that the teams United’s rivals have all started strongly and make up the fetal top five in the league, despite making changes of manager and losing star players themselves. United now have a run of eminently winnable fixtures until they face Arsenal on November 10. But they cannot afford any mistakes or Moyes may have to contemplate the ultimate disaster: failure to even qualify for next season’s Champions League.
Man utd are currently occupying the 8th position on the EPL table having played 5 games with 1 goal to their name and 7 points
