THE BEST ODDS EVER ONLY IN DAFABET
David Moyes admits Manchester United’s
performance in Tuesday night’s shock first-leg defeat to Olympiacos was “really
poor” – but is determined to make amends when the sides meet again at Old
Trafford on 19 March.
The Reds were strongly fancied to claim a
fifth win in five meetings with the Greek side but were instead turned over 2-0
by goals from Alejandro Dominguez and Joel Campbell in the 38th and 55th
minutes. The United boss felt the deficit was greater than the difference
between the sides, although he did accept his side didn’t “offer enough” at the
other end of the pitch where, in the latter stages, Robin van Persie spurned
the Reds’ only real chance.
“It's the worst we've played in Europe [this season], that's for
sure,” said Moyes in his post-match press conference.
“It was a really poor performance. We didn't get going from the
start. We didn't deserve anything from tonight.
"We just never got to grips with
things. To a man, you could hardly pick anyone out [who played well]. We just
didn't perform well.
“I'm surprised. I didn't see that level of performance coming. We
came into the game in good form and a good mindset but it didn't show tonight.
“I have to say I don't think we were two goals worse off in the game.
[For the first goal] they had a shot, which got deflected... but we didn't
offer enough on the night to create a goal really.”
The only crumb of comfort for Moyes and his
men is the time lapsed in the tie - only 90 minutes have passed with the same
period to be played again on home soil in three weeks, at Old Trafford.
"We'll do everything we possibly can
to reverse the 2-0 defeat tonight. We'll put it right, we're determined to put
it right and we'll have opportunities to do that in the coming weeks.
"There's undoubtedly talent at
Manchester United but tonight we didn't show it. Me and the team, we didn't
show it together. I take responsibility. It's my team and I'll always front up.
The players are hurting as well. They know how they performed. We're a team and
we stick together.
"We didn't play well and we have to
play better. We can do. The one good thing is there's still a second game to
come. Old Trafford's seen some great nights in the past and I'm looking forward
to hopefully seeing another one."
What do you think??? Moyes OUT??!!!
