Moyes and van played their part.
That club is not being well run on multiple levels. It goes beyond the manager.

Boca and River final living up to expectations. Boca's bus was destroyed on arrival then the police tear gassed the entire area. Players going to the hospital with glass injuries. Just a one hour delay by the looks of things. Not sure how that works with players being unable to play now...
My understanding is that the players were tear gassed and got sick. Hence the "delay" instead of a reschedule. No away fans allowed at either leg of the final. And this is the last Libertadores final that will not be a single game at a neutral site.
Yeah, absolute shitshow and from what I've read, neither team wants to play. And yet, CONMEBOL seems adamant it gets played today. Absurd.
And there it is, CONMEBOL has said there is non-medical reason not to play. A half dozen guys throwing up from tear gas, several with glass wounds and 1 or 2 with eye injuries. #Dale

are you saying they don’t have good players?

No doubt. The greedy Glazers and the clueless Woodward are doing their part.
But let's not pretend that Mou is overachieving with a bad hand.
He is underachieving with a pretty good hand. 3rd season on the job.
So how would you set up this team to achieve. Because they look like a bunch of ill fit pieces to me. Hate your central defense in particular.
The squad is a bunch of ill fit pieces.
There is plenty of blame to go around.
But continuing to play Matic when he's been out of form since March is just crazy. Continuing to play Lukaku as the 9 when he barely gets involved in build up play now is crazy. Continuing to play Smalling when Bailly is healthy on the bench is crazy.
And is Valencia really hurt? Or is he just being sat because he liked that Instagram post that shit on Mou? The timing is coincidental at best.
In no way am I saying that Mou is the only one to blame -- in fact, I only assign like 25% of the blame on him, but it is utter nonsense to suggest that the side shouldn't be performing better in the league than where we currently sit.
But on a larger point, I'd play Mata as the 10 as he has the most guile of anybody in the squad, so let him dictate play from where he can be most effective. I'd run Rashford as the 9, Martial as the LW, and Sanchez/Lingard as the RW and instruct the team to attack with pace, especially on the counter. Pogba could spring a counter at any moment with his passing. I'd also bring in Fred/Herrera and let them play the 6 over Matic, who has been dreadful all season.
The outside backs are a joke outside of Shaw and that's on Mou and Woodward, as well as LvG and Moyes.
