David Moyes

[blueToffee]

I mean to be kind, we had some late arrivals and I'm not too surprised we're still trying to figure out the best team/balance.

Our start to the season has been a bit average though you'd say now, that and Leeds was probably our worst two results so far. We've not figured out a few positions it feels like.

I'd say this is the mini table we're in:
Sunderland
Everton
Fulham
Leeds
Brentford
Burnley
West Ham
Wolves

*maybe Forest depending on how it goes with Postecoglou, at a stretch Man United until they fire Amorin. With the money spent and players brought in they should both be doing better.

Standard Moyes.

Banging his head against the wall with a setup that isn’t quite firing for 2-3 games too many before fixing it.

This is where he’s always costed his teams points.

He’ll get it right but everything properly exciting will be out of reach by then.

This is the downfall of having Moyes, he’s so slow to react and make changes when it’s plain as day to the rest of us. Not just team selections but in game changes too. Makes you want to tear your hair out.

Also, what are we doing in training with our strikers? Because we’re giving them absolutely zero to work with in games. Did we even attempt one through ball tonight?!

[Paddockoldie]

This shambles is on him. Playing fucking Dyche ball again with long balls to a striker with the touch of a hippo. Who's Beto or Barry supposed to flick headers onto? He leaves it too late with subs or changing his tactics. The last 2 results are on him. Also, who the absolute fuck bought Barry or thought he was any good? We've got a 40 million pound player on the bench. We've become the Grealish show, predictable with no end product. Ndiaye looked a shadow of himself tonight and I think it's linked

[TheRam]

The transfer window was poor.

Left us with no pace anywhere on the pitch and no decent full backs.

Obvious to me that we’ve just gone and bought players who we knew we could get without any plan for how they fit in the team.

I know the low socks thing is funny and cool but how do you spend £40m on Dibling when you already have Grealish and ndyiae.

How do you not make full back a priority? We have nothing from either side going forward and they’re both really bad at defending as well.

Just no plan at all in the recruitment and we’ve ended up with yet another unbalanced group of players.

Dibling, ndyiae, Grealish sounds good but it’s three players who are all the same and want the ball to feet. Nothing in behind and we don’t have the full backs to make those runs out wide.

Feel like we’re so slow and weak all over the pitch and it makes us really easy to play against. How did we not add any sort of pace to this side?

[TheRam]

I think Seamus Coleman is still our best right back.

It’s 2025 ffs.

[Kerryblueboy]

He hung out Brien out to dry last night guy ain’t a right back and needs the winger to help him ndayie didnt track back at all should have taken kdh off put ndayie in the 10 and put Patterson or dibling or someone on to stop their left side dominating feel sorry for our strikers they have nothing like any quality service coming to them

[Toddacelli]

Feels like the first window was actually a lot worse than it looks on paper due to pace, quality in depth and gaps not addressed.

When you’re playing a right mid at left back and a hulking CB at right back and desperately rotating the same two strikers with no change in fortunes, then you have to admit that it is a very imbalanced squad.

Add to that David Moyes, who is ever the risk adverse poster boy and there will be no creative or dynamic solutions folks, just turgid, buckle in and grind it out displays till the next window.

And if that isn’t the magic wand the gaffer is hoping for, it will be more and more dirge until someone finally puts him out of our misery.

Prove me wrong David - Please!

[fxceltic]

probably shouldnt get carried away yet

Moyes has his good and his bad points, like most managers that we could conceivably get. Last couple of games we have seen a surfeit of the latter, but we are still better than we have been at this stage in like 5 years

Stuff like last night (not changing it up til its too late, not playing to players strengths) drives me as mad as anyone else, but when i calm down a bit I think we will be fine and better than last season. The side is better in almost every department.

KDH is banned, so something will have to change for sunday, lets see how that goes

[Kerryblueboy]

Has to play dibling on the right against palace with ndayie in the 10 he might revert to type and play McNeil or god forbid Tim hopefully he tries something different because this current stuff ain’t working

[The Doc]

He's had a bad month Moyes, completely lost our way since the international break.

[Toddacelli]

We haven’t signed a ‘good’ right back since 2009.

[Blueomar]

If we see Tim in for KDH I'll be very disappointed. As others have stated, I want to see Tyler on right with either Ili or Jack central with the other on the left.

[Paddockoldie]

Moyes needs to balance the attack because at the moment it's too left or hoof up the middle. Get Grealish in the 10 as he can go either side, interlinking with Ndiaye left and Dibling right. Through balls for the strikers to run on to.

[The Doc]

An experiment id like to see:

Pickford

O'Brien Tarkowski Keane Myko

Rohl Gana Garner

Dibling Ndiaye Grealish
