"Never worried about the opposition" is complete bullshit.
Sir Alex used to literally have someone follow around another teams playmaker

[SonnyK]

In the big games Fergie used to sacrifice one of his top boys to put Park or Darren Fletcher in the team and tell them specifically to stick to the other teams best player like glue to take them out of the game. Fergie did fear some players.

[cappa]

This sums david moyes up. He is scared of his own shadow.

[DjDown]

So the player power culture of united started as soon as fergie left

[Makainternational]

The problem with Moyes is that he had a clear case of classical conditioning. He was used to managing underdog teams and got used to being David in David vs Goliath matches (pardon the pun). It’s not easy to switch the mindset, change and think differently. He knew United obviously was a big club, but he relied on what he did in the past and what he knew for years. It’s not easy to change or embrace change.

Ferdinand is like a fish riding a bicycle out of water

[reddish]

Nah. When United won the champions league in 2008, it was clear in the semi final first leg away to Barca that they were sitting back. That gung-ho style was for the 90s and United struggled to replicate the '99 success in Europe until Carlos Queiroz joined them and improved their tactics.

[tacticalfoul]

He brought that mid table club mindset from Everton

[HahahahaKez]

I think the difference was articulation, no doubt SAF stressed over players, but he found a solution, then found a way to get that across to the players without creating doubt

[peterherrington]

Extraordinary arrogance explains 1 of the many problems at United

[slimjim]

What a lie! There's many video footage of fergie telling his players to contain. Absolute rubbish from ferdinand

[jimmorrison]

David Moyes was too nice. He should have walked in there and looked around and said Ferdinand you’re old and passed it so I’m selling you to QPR a year early. Park your bags son.

[anthonyfoster]

Not what Scholes said about working with Ferguson. He said sometimes he had to sacrifice his own game to benefit the team.

[_XPERIA_]

So why, as one of the leders of the dressing room, did Rio let them fall off so badly mentally?

Captains are literally the manager of the dressing room

[jermainebrown]

They never worried about the opposition? I wonder if they had the same mindset against Barcelona

[jasonlee]

Same strategy as Brian Clough. Amazing how an attitude creates greats legendary teams!

[misterc]

There’s an element of player failure to adapt to the changing demand of a new boss.

[steve]

fergie did it against bale once in his last spurs season, and against arsenal he puts extra midfielder there but yeah most players didnt get this treatment and it probably costs fergie more titles. he chose to play giggs over park in ucl final. he didnt have a plan against kaka or against luis figo and raul.

moyes plays counter attack in conference league even to this day against random albanian or cyprus team. he has no shame

[tomben]

In Ferguson’s penultimate season, he played the most negative team going, playing for a 0-0 at the Etihad.
Only to be beaten 1-0 and lost the league.
Stuff like that gets glossed over

[HassanNahar]

When your mentality is gone, there’s nothing left
