Have you watched Frozen before? There's a great song on it that I think you would probably benefit from listening too

Re: David Moyes - Confirmed
It's about believing in what you're doing really isn't it? If you don't believe you won't succeed.
It's clear as day the players stopped believing this season and it's clear that Dyche doubled down because he believed in his methods even if the players no longer did. Moyes has completed objective number one of uniting everyone behind a message they can buy in to about how we want to play.
Stuff like that just lifts everyone and means they'll give the extra 10% needed to get the result when digging in and fighting is required.
It'll be a challenge now we've lost Mangala and DCL but it's probably something we can overcome to an extent just by the players going out there with belief and desire to do well again.

Don't think he will.StirlingBlue wrote: ↑Thu Jan 30, 2025 1:02 pm At what point do you think he’ll phase out Doucouré?
Experience shows we can’t pick up points without him but at the same time he’s clearly the limiting factor in so much of our play - a proper conundrum
Big, physical, competitive players win games in the prem.
I know we're currently seeing through rose tinted glasses as Moyes as some flexible posession build up guy but in his heart of hearts he's a win duels win matches guy.

In Summer - When we'll really start the rebuild.
For the first time in forever - We have people in charge with a plan.
Fixer Upper - Take your pick from half a dozen of the squad.
Do you wanna build a snowman? - It gets cold enough in the TB that it feels like an option
Then moving onto the sequel:
Into the Unknown - New stadium incoming

If Beto is up top in place of DCL Doucoure isn't going anywhere. Moyes will want his pressing and coverage more than ever because Beto just doesn't do it as well or as much as DCL.
Agree with brap that ultimately winning lots of duels = success in a broad sense. We also don't have a ton of quality across the squad and with the injuries what we'd get in technical ability by replacing him would not be enough to outweigh the physicality we would lose.
Maybe some matches where Doucoure will be replaced earlier but I'd be willing to bet he plays 90 minutes almost every match the rest of this season.

Re: David Moyes - Confirmed
I hated the idea of him coming back. Hated it.
I've been made to look an absolute mug!!
He has distilled pride in us and the players.
3 nil up and we have players battering around the pitch closing down to try and get a 4th and the same to try to get a 5th in 92nd min.
You have players throwing themselves in front of a shot in the 89th min to keep the clean sheet.
It's sensational.
It's simple football with solid players. I'm absolutely made up.
Cheers Moysie I won't ever doubt you again!
