Shocking performance. Believe it or not, I really try not to go in on Moyes, despite being honest that I don’t like him, but it’s stuff like that that causes it.

He has very much reverted to type. Like for like substitutions only. Can't change his beloved shape, that never works anyway. I feel like I've been watching the same David Moyes movie for a quarter of a century. We have been huffing and puffing (with moments of quality) to just score the one goal. Then, as soon as the opposition applies the slightest pressure, we start ceding them the entirety of the pitch, basically sitting on our goal line, and then look really panicky and amateur, just kicking the ball up in the air, and anywhere it will go.

Plus, certain players will be allowed to stink the gaff out for a few weeks in a row - KDH, JOB, Tarkowski etc. and they will be judged to a different standard to Alcaraz, who had about 10 minutes to try and force something and made a couple of mistakes, but has done more ro earn us points than KDH has (and I like KDH).

I heard this week that Moyes isn’t impressed with Dibling and thought it was nonsense. But that McNeil sub proves it. McNeil is one of the worst forward players we have ever had, but has also been phoning it in since going down the pecking order, yet he gets given a chance.

He'll probably complete the set by telling us it was a good point next. I try not to say too much on Moyes as we chug along as to criticise him is to the majority of our fanbase, as it has always been, a blasphemy.

He burns my head, and this league is awful, truly awful. Just full of physical teams who have pace and take long throws, and look at the part of the table we are in. He needs to sort it out.

Rant over.
 
Load of crap. If he had anything about him he would have at least got a shot away. The guy is a lightweight and I’ve yet to see anything to suggest he is more than a bench player.

You mean apart from being consistently better than KDH ?

Absolute nonsense.

How do you explain playing KDH every single game?

McNeil sub?
Gana bulletproof

Moyes is trying to get fired or what?
 

Moyes is destroying confidence… throwing strops on the sideline when players make mistakes.

This on top of not giving young players a chance. To sub Barry after 50 odd minutes was harsh imo. Beto did f all when he came on.
Nothing to do with confidence. Nobody has a clue what to do . There isnt any tactic apart from pumping a long ball upfront. Never seen a more crap team . Its back to the dark times of Lampard and Co.
 
Tarkowski was worryingly poor again tonight, Keane was very solid again. I think we really have to play Garner at right back until January and get O'Brien alongside Keane. Waiting until the 78th minute to change things up was very poor management, as was Bringing McNeil on for Gueye. The centre forward problem is really serious now, Barry looked close to tears when he was taken off, he just doesn't seem to be happy here at the moment.

Went with Keane as MOTM, once again a solid display, the high spot of the game though, that wonderful goal from Ndiaye.
