While I don't believe Moyes is anywhere near the main reason we're in our current predicament, there's one thing I can't forgive him for: our appalling set pieces. He's been here long enough to get these right.
Every time we win a freekick it's just delaying us giving the ball away. You can almost set your watch by it; Referee blows his whistle, Larsson and PVA pretend to pretend they don't know what they're doing... free kick taken... straight on to an opposition player's head or foot.
These were the things that Sam had us organised for. I can't remember our scoring rate with our attacking free kicks/corner but we certainly looked more a of a threat than we do now. These are things that can be practised over and over again until we get it right.
The quality of the crosses going in a terrible as well. Larsson, Januzaj and co. have absolutely no excuse to get these wrong as much as they do. Isn't this what they're supposed to be good at, yet the amount of times we don't even get it past the first man is embarrassing.
For teams at the bottom, a freekick/corner should be a life-line. They should be rehearsed and perfected until we know what we're doing and we might even get a goal now and then from them.
