2025/26 David Moyes

[MACCA75]

Not sure where people expect us to be tbh. We made a mess of the window, and it left us without decent full backs or strikers and with no pace.

Add to that our best defender is out. Top half just was never going to happen, if you actually watch the other teams in the league.

No one is expecting him to win every game. Don't be obtuse for the sake of it

I was going for 'mildly amusing'. Like Beto and Barry in front of goal... fail.

 

[st.domingo]

Do we think he will be sacked this month?

Thing I keep coming back to is that we’re in quite a similar situation to last year, in that any of the people they would like to get in are - Sir Garth aside - likely to be already gainfully employed elsewhere.

Given that’s the case, I think they’ll hold off until the summer unless things get genuinely desperate.

I don't think he'll be sacked until the owners have a concrete replacement who is an improvement on Moyes lined up. If that does indeed occur, I wouldn't bet against it happening quickly.

10th or so was where I expected us to be. But its also fair to say that what we are dishing up now isn't good enough either. He is not doing enough to change things.
Bar an absolute implosion I think we will be fine and would keep him until summer . But change then is needed

Cups were supposedly our targets this season according to Anus Angus.
He’s already squandered 50% of that opportunity…..
Think the Texans might be more accommodating of league form if there was an avenue to Europe via a cup run.

As things stand I reckon Big Dan is loading up his Spenser rifle and preparing to put that helicopter landing pad to some use.

Id like to kick him square in the balls for writing off the league cup

Hope the next guy finally has a good go at it

 

[GoldenToffee]

Watch us sack him then throw a five-year contract at Ten Hag.

I always thought he was brought in to steady the ship and prepare the side for the next step. My worry is, what’s the succession plan? I’d like to see someone like Carsley come in and work with the backroom staff now, to get a feel for the job and gradually take over from Moyes.

It he can't beat Fulham on Saturday he needs to go , I think making alterations to his lineup beyond swapping Beto for barry would help. I would prefer alcarez for KDH at 10 but Tyler or Jack would work there as well. Just try different tactics as the current one is stale

If he'd have focused on youth then around 13th and it would have been enjoyable to see players develop over this season - with senior players coming in next summer to take the team up to the european places.

With the signings he has made 8th and most of that is because...

1: He went for Palhinha, Soucek, McGinn & Tete.

After the above he didnt sign a DM or a RB

2: He signed KDH and Grealish + an injury prone Rohl.

3: He's not used Dibling, Anzou or Alcaraz correctly and is sapping the confidence of Beto & Barry.

So, for me he needs to have an incredible 2nd half of the season to get 8th or close to it.

Think they've done a good job of sapping their own confidence. Missing sitters galore tends to do that!

It'll almost certainly be the same team again with Beto/Barry coin flip.

They are not being used correctly, neither of them has any business playing as a lone forward, we havnt had a forward who could play that role since Lukaku.

We've shown in parts of games that we should be right around mid table. We should have enough quality to punish plenty of teams, but the mentality is a concern. It's a pattern now, not just the odd game
