Yes but he had a choice as to dig out a youngster struggling with confidence or say as a team, we could have done x y or z but lost our momentum.Lazarou II wrote: ↑Tue Nov 04, 2025 8:31 am Tbf though he's not wrong is he?
The game changed after that.

I would argue that the fact he chops and changes between Barry / Beto and makes it obvious he doesn't like either, is affecting this.
Heads drop because Barry now knows he is going to be subbed off and lost his opportunity. Thats way too much pressure for a young lad in a new country/league.
We were still winning, so I don't understand why the manager cant or wont focus on the positive at half time, tell them to forget the miss, move on, create more chances. Tell Barry he is the man and he believes in him etc you know, man management?!
Sunderland were always going to get into the game at some point and boss the stats but there should be a better approach to dealing with the pressure, being solid, and not shitting the fucking bed the minute a team puts us under pressure.
I'm glad he's training well because that cameo was as bad as I've seen from an Everton player!AjaxAndy wrote: ↑Tue Nov 04, 2025 9:33 am Said he played McNeil because he's trained really well the past couple of weeks.
Who knows if that means Dibling isn't pulling his weight but tbf as much as I'm criticising Moyes at the moment I wouldn't want him playing someone who's not showing willingness in training.
Moyes needs to sort his shit out though as he's underperforming as a manager and his arsey frustration isn't going to inspire a team to go out there and play with freedom and belief.
Yeah it was awful, like I said earlier in the thread it was purely imo because Moyes thought the only way we'd score would be from a set piece, but he's not going to admit to that lack of ambition in his press conference.
Not really Barry's fault that we were comprehensively over ran from the 30th minute. They had something like 12 unanswered shots following Barry's miss*. Ok yeah we might have spawned a win, says everything about him if he thinks that was the result he was after.Lazarou II wrote: ↑Tue Nov 04, 2025 8:31 am Tbf though he's not wrong is he?

Agree. We are in danger of blaming moyes for his selections while not acknowledging lots of the options might be really quite poorAjaxAndy wrote: ↑Tue Nov 04, 2025 9:33 am Said he played McNeil because he's trained really well the past couple of weeks.

Ndiaye might be out for a bit, I’ll get McNeil some minutes in his legs for when he starts the next 3 gamesRisky wrote: ↑Mon Nov 03, 2025 10:23 pm It's not so much about Dibling as it is about why the fuck you put Dwight fucking McNeil on at that point, with Alcaraz also an option. McNeil who has for whatever reason looked like he's forgotten to play football in the last 6 months or so and who's been nowhere near the team in that time, and who has proved even more useless on the right, and who as was blindingly obvious he would be was fucking terrible when he came on.
McNeil was a bizarre choice in the circumstances
Agree and it shows his sulking up because the 1 he picked is shit toosam of the south wrote: ↑Tue Nov 04, 2025 11:19 am He ain’t deviating from 4231, and I don’t think he’s dropping kdh, as I’ve got a feeling that he was the only signing that was his pick.
