Smalling is no Rafael when it comes to supporting Valencia.
Yawn
This is just painful. You just new from the lineup it would be this shit, is Moyes really this fecking clueless it's embarrassing.
his press conferences are starting indicate he's a rabbit in headlights...it's all rather worrying...
At least Gibbo could shoot on target.
I agree, the most disappointing thing is that he changed the system for one game, we won it and looked decent and immediately it reverts back to the system that's been awful for us all season. It does seem one step forward and two back
That's been the case with most of our European games this season. Compare it with our league games...
Even on FIFA it'd be unnatural to play him like thatIt's like watching a mixture of Stoke, England and West Ham. fecking wank.
An away fixture does need caution but this is rediculous, it's as if we are playing Barcelona away with 9 men.
9 men in our box defending that attack....what the hell.

Valencia runs like he's in a three legged race partnering Liam Miller.
Why are we standing so deep? We are obviously not going to counter attack playing at that pace so what's the game plan here are we playing for a 0-0 draw?
Well, we now look like a David Moyes side. Defending without intent in a big game. Its pathetic.
If you put Zabaleta, Alves, Lahm or whoever from the best right backs in the world, you still wouldn't see Valencia rocking anything.
Problem is not with the right back, even though I agree that Smalling is nothing like Rafael when going forward.
Moyes is a tactical genius. This is called the snake charmer tactic.
You bore the opposition to sleep and then destroy them with a flurry of goals when they are having a snooze.

Half an hour gone, no shots on target.
if Evra was a dog he'd be a border terrier
try watching it Asia time at 2am! Literally snoozing!
Some wingers actually make stuff happen on their own, though.
Evra and Vidic have been better.
We'll really be in trouble if we concede considering how toothless we've been in attack this season.
That's been the case with most of our European games this season. Compare it with our league games...
This will without a doubt change in the QF. IF you get past Piräus.
RVP must be bored stupid playing for us at the moment.
Moyes said before the game the plan is to be compact and hard to play against... So yeah pretty much, try and grind out a 0-0.
this is fecking awful.
Unfortunately this is very true.
When we get the ball we either hoof it, for it to come straight back at us, or we are so static and there's no one to pass the ball to, except out wide. Cleverley always hides.
Awful pass
People might say that our football was more functional than exciting over the last few years under Fergie but we were never this utterly boring, were we?
feck sake, how many times are we going to lose possession from a long ball before we realise it doesn't bloody work?
Some of those Greeks have phantastic hair.
300k per week to knock it wide?
That's been the case with most of our European games this season. Compare it with our league games...
We are so vulnerable it is depressing.
The newly crowned Mr Manchester United has been shite. Game's here to be won though if we strap on a pair and play a bit quicker.
Fellaini/Giggs for Cleverley & Kagawa for Young would be exccelnt half time substitutions. Wont happen though.
Welbeck and kagawa are on the bench, valencia is only playing for the defensive side of his game.
Great defensive half so far against one of Europe's best. Oh wait it's Olympiakos.
Every time a player gets closed down he hoofs it.
Lazy offside position there from Rooney.
Should we play Michael Keane in central defence?
So far this is one of the worst first halfs of football i have ever watched
zzzzzzzzzzz
