Come on lads, the whole “he looks done in already having watched that one game” is ridiculous
He won’t be shocked because he hasn’t transported in from another dimension, he knew what the team was like and he won’t be thinking anything other than “pretty much what I thought”. We weren’t great last night obviously, but I thought we were more on the front foot, defence pushed further up and mykolenko even left our half a number of times.
Some coaching time, adapting the system, knocking out some of the sloppiness in possession, and a couple of players in and he’ll get it right enough I think.
Let’s at least Give him 5 minutes to have a crack ffs

I don't think he'll have kept that close an eye on us, a watching brief from a distance probably and I'd be surprised if he's watched more than 3 or 4 of our games. He said himself he didn't think Dyche would get sacked so he wouldn't be paying that close attention to us and he even said last night to journos something like 'you guys will know better than me about where we are with PSR'
He'll have known things weren't great but the first few days will have certainly been an eye opener.

Everything he's saying is indicating he wants to bring someone in, there's no way he won't be

Thought the same even from the lineup. Hes not come in thinking I would do this I would do that, he's like right who are these then?

Interesting he's been so bullish about it. The Moyes of the first spell would never say something like that even if it was necessary.

I don't think there's much to do. Poor individuals but even poorer balance to the squad. I don't think there's a tactical answer to a significant improvement. We need pace, we need width, we need a goalscorer and a doucoure who can play a bit of football too. Hopefully moyes will get some backing in this window because we need 2 or 3 signings minimum and they all have to work

Yep he's essentially said he likes the players but there's glaring holes in the squad quality. Can't remember him doing this before and it's instantly putting the owners under some responsibility to back him.

I guarantee you his best eleven doesn't end up looking and playing like that.
If it does we've made a terrible mistake and deserve to go.

Obligatory YouTube video shows his good bits. He's rapid for sure but our squad is slow

other than he is fast i dont know much about him,
youtube vid didnt look great tho,
wasnt much in the way of end product from what i seen,
i gave up less than halfway into it tho as it was just him running and putting in crosses that the defence cleared
