Only Ashley young could get caught offside against a team playing 9 at the back

This is the worst brand of football I've seen from a Premiership European contender. Moyes truly has not a breeze.

How can a premiership manager be so tactically inept?

does Moyes not realise he's negating a large portion of his side's quality by incessantly crossing it?

it really is quite dumbfounding.

And so many people be blind to it. I've been asking that question all season.

Gary Neville's unwillingness to call a spade a spade irritates me.

2 crosses for Fulham now.

hoodwinked · 09-02-2014 6:24pm

Fulham seem happy to sit back and let them attack thats good, a goal should come soon, Fulham aren't even trying to get possession.

i need RVP to assist a Mata goal...

You had to be thinking, up until half time, they're just out of ideas and the 2nd half they'll set up differently. Perhaps shell shock.

2nd half starts and another schit cross goes in and nope. They're just out of ideas. They've forgotten how to play through the middle.

And Fulham - barely into the 2nd half and they're time wasting.
This is astounding. It's hard to watch and impossible to look away.

This fulham team are there for the taking. Mata, rooney, that young fella and van p should be able to canter through that back 4. Its like they have tried to dream up the most inappropriate way to play and gone for it.

In the meantime, rafael hits the sidenetting with another daisy cutter.

Those possesion stats are good but kind of flattering. As soon as we get the ball wide Fulham don't try to press us at all. Instead they just head to their box and wait for the cross to come in so they can clear it.

Tactically this is very base and easy to set up against. There is nothing central and no attempt at direct long shots outside the box. Its corsses and crosses only.

Also the players have to be looked at for the dire standard of those crosses.
