2. This is not Moyes’ team
Tuesday’s defeat was listless, pathetic, heartless and ultimately embarrassing but it’s worth remembering David Moyes was NOT on the pitch. The Scot is tasked with inspiring and guiding his players but some responsibility must lie with them – and the guilty parties in Athens weren’t Moyes’ men. Neither of his signings, Marouane Fellaini and Juan Mata, featured, while Adnan Januzaj, who has been promoted from the youth set-up to Moyes’ credit, was also missing. The Scot deserves to be judged when he has had time to implement his methods and buy his players.
