So i have watched my beloved ManUtd 1st ever official competitive match under our new manager David Moyes, and we won the Community Charity Shield!!! Great that Moyes and ManUtd get to a good start and its a 1st major silverware for Moyes!!! Congratulation to him!!! Performance wise, nothing to be too excited about as our players did what they asked for!!!! And to be frank, many players still need to sharpen up their fitness before the season starts next week!!! But overall, a satisfying result by lifting the Shield!!!
Great to see that our core players were all up to the tasks under Moyes as Vidic, Evra, Carrick, Giggsy and RvP were all able to put on a good show yesterday!!! They will be our main players for the coming season as they represent the 'senior' group of players in our team!!! All our younger players will have to look up to them and perform on a consistent basis!!! And for this 1st official game under Moyes, things seems to be under good control with the way we played and the tactics that being put out on the field!!! Nothing too dramatic changed from SAF era!!! A good sign!!! And i expect our younger players to put in more effort and play at a more consistent level... Jones, Smalling, De Gea, Rafael, Cleverley, Welbeck n Anderson, all need to raise their performance for this season in order to be counted and trusted by Moyes!!! They r all experience enough by now so its time for them to man up and perform!!!
For the coming season, players like Kagawa and Chicharito deserved to be given more chances to shine than anyone else!!! Its time for them to play more regularly!!! As for Kagawa, we all know his potential and talent!!! So hopefully Moyes will be using him in the right way and let him play in his favourate position and blossom!!! “Shinji Kagawa is one of the best players in the world and he now plays 20 minutes at Manchester United– on the left wing! My heart breaks. Really, I have tears in my eyes. Central midfield is Shinji's best role,” said his former manager Klopp of BVB... This is how highly Kagawa is regarded by Klopp!!! Moyes take notes~~~
Then for Chicharito, it time for him to take up a more important role for the team... Moyes shld rotate him with RvP for all big matches and put in more trust into him... He will brings goals for sure!!! I hope he will be playing 30-35 games at least... Its time for him to play consistently as 1 of our main player!!! With him and Kagawa in our team, i believe we have more than enough to cover for Rooney...
And from yesterday game, we clearly still lacking the 'Wow' factor and an inspirational figure in the middle of our park!!! Hopefully Moyes will be able to sort this out soonest by bringing in the players he want and thinks fit for the system!!! Now Fabregas seems off and i do not think Modric will wanna come to us as well this late in the transfer window... And i really do not mind us getting Fellaini!!! If we put him in the DM position and free up Carrick, it will be a great move!!! From yesterday game, Carrick became a very mature player where he was very calm with the ball and aware of what he was doing... So if we can get a reliable and physical partner for him, he will be able to push forward more and from there he can spray his passes to a better effect!!! At the moment, Carrick main duty is to screen off the opponents right infront of our defence... Besides Fellaini, Cabaye will be another good option for me as he is a very technical player with experience!!! Cabaye can bring something new to our midfield...
Yes, the names of Fellainie and Cabaye might not be very attractive as Fabregas or Modric, but they r realistic targets that we can get this late into the transfer market!!! So i just hope Moyes able to get what he want soonest possible!!! All in all, even with the same group of players from last season we look good and strong!!! With the addition of Zaha, Januzaj and Lingard, we will have a big enough team to compete!!! And if Nani can sort his mind and stay focus and concentrate, he will be a very important player for us!!! And yes, we still have Rooney!!! But is he ready to fight for his place and be loyal to the club again?!
Having a very confident mood for the coming season~~~ ^.^
