Could United Win Spark a Revival?

Champions League Last 16

MANCHESTER UNITED 3-0 OLYMPIACOS 

It's no sercret that this season Moyes and his men have been in footballing turmoil, but after last nights triumphant Champions League Comeback may we see a turning point in the problematic roadblock at Old Trafford?. After the last sixteen win we see previous league winners head off into the draw for the Champions League quater finals where they will face tough opposition against one of Europes remaining elite, along with fellow Englishmen, Chelsea.

But who is to blame for United falling short this year? Is it the lack luster team that has been placed before Moyes in non-passionate Van Persie and a defence that has flopped? Or is it in Moyes himself not dealing with the pressure of taking the helm of a title contending club?. Many people will be quick to blame the ex-Everon gaffer but I feel he has taken a lot of flack this year, not only that but the team he has to work with just don't seem to click; with players showing no real commitment or consistancy in the set up. Moyes has had his work cut out and to top that off he has the pressure of one of the largest fan bases on his back, meaning if he doesn't perform he has a large weight on his shoulders which is what has happened.

As failure in the league continues their is more talk of the Scotsman getting sacked as he and his team dropped vital points at Old Trafford in a devistating defeat against rivals Liverpool. This seems to have been the final straw for fans and followers as the odds of Moyes getting the axe were slashed from 20/1 to 4/1 meaning he has to turn it around fast, many people are talking of the 'final three' which are the fixtures Moyes must win to keep his job. Luckily one of which was last nights fixture against Greek squad Olympiacos, the other two are West Ham away and finally a local derby against Man City. 

So is this the turning point for United or do they sack Moyes and rebuild again? Does the gaffer need more time or do the Red Devils need to get rid of the garbage and form a new squad which want to play ball? One things for sure we'll certainly find out over the next coming weeks in which a lot has to be proven.
