I genuinely have no idea who that is but I'll be damned if he doesn't look exactly like a mash-up of Rocky Dennis and Chucky.

It's Mick Hucknall from Simply Red. Either that or an extra from "Night of the Living Dead".
 
Haha!

BR asked about Moyes: You have empathy for all managers. When I came into here, we were 8th, David's gone into there and they were champions
 
Manchester United played like a Conference team, says Fulham defender

Dan-Burn--011.jpg


Fulham defender Dan Burn has compared Manchester United's playing style to Conference football in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Fulham at Old Trafford.

David Moyes's team made a record 81 crosses yet still failed to win and following the match Burn, 21, who began his career at Darlington, where he played non-league football, said: "I was just saying to the lads that I've never headed that many balls since the Conference. At the end of the day I'm happy for them to play like that.

"We knew that we were going to defend our box well. We were going to keep our back four quite narrow so that we were between the goal and the wingers were going to look after the wide men. They've had plenty of crosses, loads of chances and stuff, but the second goal was quite lucky. I always felt we had something left."

Burn stated that René Meulensteen, the Fulham manager, had prepared the side for United to pepper them with high balls into the area. "We've been working on that in training. I thought it worked well. We knew that was going to happen – once we were dropping further back, that we were going to get more compact and make them play around us because we thought we had the strength in numbers. I'm 6ft 7in. It helps when dealing with those sort of balls."

Of preventing United's vaunted attacking trio of Juan Mata, Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney from playing through his side, Burn added: "That shows you how well we've defended. They didn't have many chances. They're still amazing players – on another day they could have had however many, but we defended really well."

José Mourinho has stated he feels sorry for Manchester United and their manager, David Moyes, as the Premier League champions continue to labour this term. Sunday's draw with Fulham left United a distant nine points off fourth place as they prepare for Wednesday's tomorrow's trip to Arsenal, with the prospect of failing to qualify for the Champions League looming large.
"I feel sorry for them," said Mourinho. "I never enjoy it when somebody is having some problems, like they're having. But United are United. David is experienced enough to cope with the situation, and the future will be better for them. Yes, he's the right man for the job. They can still make the top four. It won't be easy, they know that. They know they are in the limit for the top four, and they also know that teams like us, Liverpool and Arsenal are doing OK. So it won't be easy for them to close such a big gap. But it's possible."
