Atletico are top of La Liga. And Banega is still better than all of our cm's. Maybe we should sign Fellaini?

Simeone is a very good coach but Moyes certainly has the ability to turn it around.

Fellaini is a legend. The guy will come back and win everyone over. I've seen it in my dreams.

I've also seen Banega get eaten by his own pet tiger in my dreams.

Does he, though? I don't get how you can say he certainly has the ability when he's not shown in his career that he does have the ability to turn it around.

Simone may be the new kid on the block but he's exhibited exceptional managerial ability, Moyes has show a good level of stability, it's all he has over him and that's mainly down to timing.

Harry Redknapp did a similar thing at West Ham, but when Mourinho came along it was obvious from the beginning that he was a better manager than him despite his short time in the limelight at Porto and Chelsea.

I agree that Jose is a better manager than Moyes but being a better manager doesn't always mean that the team they manage will be better than the team the lesser manager manages if that makes sense.

Jose was a far better manager than Tito but Tito won the league last season with a tired Barca side.

Simeone is doing very well but comparisons with other managers are a bit premature.

Barca are a different animal because of the way they operate and the philosophy that Pep instilled.

It's not premature to suggest he's better than Moyes. It would be premature to compare Simeone to the very best coaches around, however, he's certainly showing that he's not far off and if he can maintain the great job he's doing that he will be comparable in the future.

Moyes shouldn't be judged against the best for his time at Everton because very few of those managers have recently managed at a side of that level.

Moyes has to be judged at his United tenure and it's fair to say he's struggling and that in itself is not enough to have him right up there with the best but it would be foolish to write him off as this job could be the making of him.

If he can win the title in the next few years against the likes of City, arsenal and Chelsea, 3 teams who will invest heavily then he will have to be considered a top coach who can be compared with the best.

If he can't then he will leave and will be 'just' a good manager.

Robb how I have missed you; did not see you the last few days.
well i think we should support Moyes; and if we are still struggling same time January something has to give.
You complaining about the wums and fickle fans; well its just something you have to live with; the team has made a rod for their back; to be honest am surprised more wums from other teams are not here everyday, until things turn around it is what it is.
