David Moyes comes in for criticism as Arsenal get hammered by Bayern Munich

David Moyes is currently in New York with his Sunderland team.

The Premier League's bottom side are on a mid-season break in the Big Apple, and their manager is hatching a plan to prevent them from being relegated. He has absolutely nothing to do with the Champions League last 16 first leg tie between Bayern Munich and Arsenal, yet many on social media were mentioning Moyes. Bayern beat Arsenal 5-1, and Thiago Alcantara was absolutely brilliant. The Spanish midfielder scored twice and set-up Thomas Muller for the game's final goal. He was, according to football statistics website Who Scored, the best player on the pitch. You're probably thinking what has this got to do with poor ol' Moysey? Well, Moyes, when he was Manchester United manager back in 2013, reportedly turned down the chance to sign Thiago from Barcelona because he wasn't convinced of his talents. According to Spanish football journalist Guillem Balague, Moyes passed on signing the player, as he didn't think he could cut in the Premier League. https://twitter.com/GuillemBalague/status/356424303060860933 https://twitter.com/GuillemBalague/status/356424575166316545 Thiago went to Bayern instead, and showed against Arsenal he is perfectly suited to playing against Premier League sides. The internet has a long memory though, and didn't forget Moyes' reported blunder. https://twitter.com/AlexShawESPN/status/831971517462413312 https://twitter.com/liam11/status/831973423354171392 https://twitter.com/archiert1/status/831973562001027072 https://twitter.com/ChildishAdult22/status/831976197605187586 https://twitter.com/StevieBleeds/status/831975944327983105 https://twitter.com/IconicNumber7/status/831975396329545733 https://twitter.com/tom_mcghee/status/831973729227853824 https://twitter.com/Albert_xvi/status/831972957706674188 https://twitter.com/ayyy_west/status/831971749222707200 https://twitter.com/Thanki91/status/831971740125376512 https://twitter.com/marwanprince/status/831955159320297479 Catch up with this week's episode of 888sport Football Friday Live
