2024/25 David Moyes

[maccavennie]

Yeah I'm not jumping on the Davey hate train but fully triggered by the repeated praise for that Doucoure performance.

Unreal levels of bullcrappery from Moyes, sitting there with a straight face chatting a load of bollocks.

 

[dannyboy]

Is it me or are some posters being stupid?

No one is complaining about the results on the whole since Moyes came back.

Why WE and anyone with some foresight are annoyed, frustrated, angry, disappointed etc...

...is because Harrison, Doucoure, Broja to name just 3 players are getting starts / time ahead of players who can add value to the team today and get valuable time to get used to the league for next season.

Alcaraz in the 10 today would have been ideal to see how he combines with Ndiaye. Instead Doucoure in the 10 and Alcaraz on for Ndiaye.

For me, this is pathetic.

Broja came on for Beto. A Chelsea injury prone donkey. Why not Chermiti who is actually an Everton player?

For me, this is also pathetic.


Third is Harrison. No need to expand.

Pathetic.


Good, if not great results....extremely disappointing team selections

We should be playing different players to Harrison, Doucoure and Broja to see what the others are capable of, but I'm not overly frustrated due to the fact I don't think what we have waiting in reserve is going to be that much better.

In the space of 4 days we've played the 1st & 2nd in the league and lost narrowly in one and drew the other.

I said exactly this to Mrs BR at FT.

My last time at GP watching the Blues.

Nice that we didn't lose, but expect a lot more positivity with a stronger squad next season.

I think weve seen Alcaraz deliver more than Doucoure. Hes given us a glimpse of a future with looks more exciting than it has been for years.

How Alcaraz & Ndiaye arent being used together has really annoyed me.

Broja is dogdirt and we saw Chermiti last season show more than he ever has.

Harrison i can kind of give a bit of a pass to at the moment with McNeil coming back and Young being finished...plus Patterson covering for Mykolenko.

But surely theres an alternative the next game -- though its a broken record.

I like Moyes. He's a good football manager.

But I've got a horrible feeling he's not going to play Ndiaye and Alcaraz together. Too much skill.

He prefers physical hard working number 10s. Fellaini Doucoure Cahill etc

The thing with Alcaraz is if we start him much more we have to buy him, and regardless of what we might think as fans, if Moyes doesn’t want to buy him then it would be absolutely stupid to put ourselves in a position where we have to.

Think Ndiaye in particular is a grafter and does a job defensively.
Alcaraz on the other hand not so much, which is why I think he prefers Doucoure at 10 over him.

Think we would witness some great interplay between those two but like you say not until Alcaraz show Moyes more defensively.

It is perplexing how Doucoure is one of the first names on the team sheet. Even more so when you consider the club are seemingly happy with him leaving in the summer.

It would be good to get a proper look at Alcarez. Even more so for the manager who needs to figure out how he wants to use him. Hopefully over the next few weeks we'll try something different. Absolutely nothing to lose.

 

[TheBigIguana]

There are good signs. There are bad signs. We will be absolutely fine with him.

The question is are they going to let him take recruitment over. That's a terrible idea and if he's pushing for that he needs to be let go this summer. DOF, any DOF, so that the club can stabilize itself.

DOF model is going by the way side. The team who are about to walk the league do not have a single DOF. They have a transfer committee, which we are about to have as of next season. The manager is part of the committee.

 

[blue to the bone]

Interesting that some of those who said no one could do better with these players are now not happy when we are actually doing much better with said players.

 

[The binman chronicles]

We need a win quick just to prove we can. It's not particularly these last two results that's the issue, it's the games before where we had chances to win, but fluffed it.

We were in danger of getting relegated before he came in. Im not arsed one bit if he's not picking players id like to see at the moment.
Im sleeping well because im not looking over my shoulder at the likes of ipswich.
Thats all Moyes.
Free ride until the end of the season.
