Agree about Silva, pass for me

He could have split up the dire Keane/Tarkowski partnership by playing a certain Irish man there who he's been absolute flogging at RB.

Branthwaite started the season injured and we should have been prepared to play without him considering his injury record.

But we decided to give Michael Keane thirty plus games instead.

I was responding to the point Grealish was the only player who missed out through injury. He wasn’t.

Yes honestly totally forgot about Branthwaite.

Still suspect our injuries were no worse than any other club.

We do have another decent centre half. The stats when he played there back it up.

If you are ambitious and a risk taker, then you go out and get either Iraola or Glasner this summer and bin Moyes. You pay the money and get an almost certain outcome that either one of these would work well.

So disappointed with the end of this season. It’s about as bad as it could have been after the Chelsea game, and I didn’t see it coming. I don’t think Moyes did either.

The last 2 games especially have been atrocious. Relegation level performances and utterly unacceptable given what was on the line for us and the league.

I don’t know where we go from here but it’s a massive concern and takes all of the shine away from what was due to be a half decent season.

There is a huge amount of work to do in the summer, and for the first time, I don’t know whether the man in charge should be Moyes (although I strongly suspect it will be).

Our collapse in the final couple of months has meant we have basically done just as well as last season. It’s find of been a failure.

Moyes has to take responsibility, it is quite worrying and just concerned this will continue into next season especially if we don’t sort our shit together in the summer transfer market

Moyes should blame his own recruitment before blaming refs decisions.

40,5M pounds on a guy he gave 4 mins in his debut. 9 minutes in the next before giving him the first half against Palace for then subbing him at half time as we turned that match around. He then got 4 minutes against City before he had to sit on the bench and not gain any more minutes for the next 4 mathces.

In total Tyler Dibling has been allowed to play a total of 350 minutes - that is less than 4 football matches. 5 times he has been allowed to play more than 15 minutes. He has been allowed to start 4 matches as in two of them he was subbed off at half time - indirectly blamed for the poor performance of the team.(Home to Palace and Brentford). In 2026 he has been an unused sub for 15 of 19 matches with the highlight of the ONE minute he was allowed against Burnley at home when we leaded by 2 goals. His market value halfed in the process.

Thats what piss poor Mr Moyes. That is really piss poor. Add to that the 30M you spent on Thierno "I dont have a clue" Barry and we can safely say you have thrown 70M out of the window. For that amount you could have bought five Junior Kroupis or two and half Rayans.

Problem is Mr Moyes that of all your arrivals - KDH was the only one you had faith in.
