2024/25 David Moyes

[st.domingo]

You see this is an acceptance of failure if this and if that .
Just try to see he was out thought and has a record that is very poor against form teams .He used to tell the players to go out and get a draw no matter what -not go out and try to win -against the top teams . Now I can see the wisdom of getting a draw against them but to only aim for a draw is criminal. I never we were battered but we certainly were not as good as them , my complaint is that as Dyche he plays safe with team selction.
A blind man on a horse can see Dukes is past it ,he has the turning circle of a bus ,often his passes are poor and yet he still gets played because he covers so many kilometers .Yes I know he scored the fastest goal but his replacement could very well get three off his rear end ,which I would prefer .
Anyway we will see how long it is before you all turn or I do !

Sounds like you already have

I thought he was too slow to make changes yesterday.
The game was beyond us at 2-0 .
It was a cup tie , should have been more proactive at halftime.
Putting Keane up front at the end was risible and futile.
Classic Moyes really .
Hey ho !

Lack of a striker will kill us in those sorts of games. Beto wasn’t getting opportunities to run in behind and he’s not a hold up player. Couldn’t believe he put Keane up front. Not sure why he didn’t give Sherif a go. Could understand if it’s a relegation six pointer but we were 2 nil down in a cup game.

Can understand the reluctance to make changes at half time. Alcaraz just in the door and there’s not many quality options. Harrison has been god awful all season but encouraging performance yesterday.

In the cold light of day, I suspect he did so, because he knows Sherif is either not ready yet, or worse perhaps will never be to the standard.

If we didn't have so many injuries and a paper thing squad, would he be getting to the bench? I doubt it. For all Keane's fault, he can hit a ball cleanly...

... and he's experienced.

Definitely would have preferred Sharif to get a run out rather than putting Keane on .
Keane was never going to rescue a two goal deficit , more value in giving a youngster some first team experience.

They were better than us.

It was getting more height on the pitch. Don’t know how big sharif is but I expect Moyes was banking on set pieces by that point

 

[Ged G]

They beat us a few weeks ago(dyche) when they had 58%
They beat us today(moyes) when they had 42%.
That completely blows your theory out the water.
The bottom line is they're just a better side than Everton.

Correct.

 

[Ged G]

Yes, I did watch it. I saw Tarkowski trying to make up ground on a counter attacking player running the length of his own half to do so because Moyes had them pushed right up the halfway line.

That was on the tactics the manager adopted. Same with the second Tarkowski howler when he tried to pass 15 yards while inside the box, what his manager wanted us to do in that circumstance. As I said earlier Tarkowski is no ball playing CB.

Dont blame him.

"Tarkowski is no ball playing CB" except against Leicester, especially when he played that excellent through ball for Beto...

Off topic I know, will take the yellow card for the team but a serious question. I have had Davek on ignore from my early membership so haven't had to endure his wisdom, however is there a way to block responses to his comments without blocking those that respond to him? A question to those that respond to him, why endure it, why to do you torture yourselves so? We have had enough to make ourselves depressed in recent years why put yourselves through it.

 

[Cameron Manning]

Moyes out

Not yet, wait ‘til he keeps us up!

 

[Ged G]

Poor game, poor atmosphere, poor performances from too many of our more reliable performers.

At least we can concentrate on staying up now. That has to be the priority!

Agree. A good, succinct, summary.
No long, knee-jerk, "I know better than the manager" (because you used to play for the Dog and Pheasant, or was it the "Hare and Hounds") analysis...

Davec has good entertainment value if you don’t like him you’ve had him on ignore so what’s your problem.
