COME ON MOYES: BE THE BOSS YOU WERE BACK AT EVERTON

Moyes must dispel this image of him as Sir Alex Ferguson’s anointed successor, to his critics. And remember he was appointed Manchester United manager because of his lauded reputation within the game.

David Moyes is a good manager who just needs to be himself; and needs to do the United job his way, not another manager’s way, however exalted Ferguson was.
Moyes has to keep the flag flying. He has also to impose himself on players assembled by Ferguson, making it his team, making them forget the illustrious predecessor and fear the new man.
Moyes has to show he is not just minding the store while Ferguson has popped out. He needs to make some big calls, such as dropping Rio Ferdinand and telling Phil Jones or Chris Smalling  or even Jonny Evans that they are the future at centre-half. Give Wilfried Zaha a chance. Or Adnan Januzaj. Usher in a new era on the pitch as well as in the dugout.
He should back his own judgment, acumen. He just needs to believe in himself again, to be the boss.
Moyes needs to spread a little fear and coax a keener competition for places in the squad. At Everton, Moyes was totally in charge, partly because he inherited a struggling team which he first galvanised and then rebuilt, but also because of that look of thunder in his eyes. He scared people!
Only fools would cross Moyes at Goodison Park. But he is a different creature at Old Trafford, more obliging, less willing to upset people. It won't be unfair to say he is not the David Moyes that Ferguson felt could take on the role of managing United, a job for leader(s) who stood tall in storms.
