Man Utd 0-1 Everton - 5 Critical Mistakes David Moyes Made In Damaging Defeat

2. Failing To Handle The Occasion

Oh how the travelling fans had some choice words for their former manager David Moyes. 11 years of loyalty went down the drain as the fans in the away section chanted "Oh David Moyes is full of s***" at regular intervals, and later, gleefully, following Oviedo's clincher - "Are you watching David Moyes? You're getting sacked in the morning". Moyes was always going to face a hostile reception from the Everton section and he largely failed to cope with it, with the torrent of abuse spilling from the stands directly effecting the Toffee's game - playing with the same levels of aggression as that voiced by the supporters. After the full time whistle, Roberto Martinez said in his post-match press interviews that his side never felt inferior to United and that's because they're not - they deserved something from this game and under Moyes, Old Trafford is no longer a feared fortress - that Everton won here for the first time since 1992 tells you everything.
