2025/26 David Moyes



Moyes' instinct is to launch from deep and go back to a direct game. I think he'd love to be playing that way.

The possession based game is probably a wish of those he answers to.

I would't be at all surprised if we're bypassing midfield soon and looking for second balls up the pitch.

Moyes cant get a team to play it on the deck and move the ball with speed. Just not in his range of ability.

Choosing to start Tim Iroegbunam really is not acceptable.

Not having that, like. Tim has played well the last few chances he’s had. Tonight wasn’t on team selection; he went with our strongest 10 available plus the call of Tim over possibly dropping KDH back and playing Charly from the start.

I’m not sure Pickford has had a game as bad as that in the whole time he’s been at the club. Tim did indeed, sadly for him and us, had a stinker and was rightly hooked at HT.

If we’re looking for digs to have at Moyes, I’d be going with not making any further subs until 80 mins.

A miserable night but I’d be having a pop at 5 or 6 individual performances before I turned my steely gaze onto Davey.

One year he tried it at West Ham and it was ditched ten games in for more direct style.

I agree if you want more progressive style every week get in a manager who's actually been coaching it for over five years e.g. Iraola or Glasner.

Can see Beto coming back for Tuesday and he can only be effective with direct balls played over the top for him to chase.

He said RB wasn’t a priority. Dug his own grave there.

Think he was trying to shield the new ownership from any criticism there as Kenny Tete was literally the first target the club tried to get done over the summer.

Why there was no other target is completely baffling. Get the feeling the club went all in on Grealish in August at expense of other targets and the hero worship over it and the decent start to the season meant any effort to get in an RB was shelved until January.

Problem with those type of gambles is they can unravel in the winter when injuries and suspensions hit and here we are.
