2025/26 David Moyes

[Rooney_Tunes]

“5th place and CL is there for the taking” Never thought id hear him be that positive tbh.
And he didn't let me down either.

Seven games more - LET'S GO!!!!!!!!!

And believe me he's not saying it in the presser but he's telling the players they can do this.

In fairness it’s pretty much not been possible with 7 games to go since he left other than when Martinez had his Slot season.

 

[Daytripper]

Despite his faults, he deserves credit for turning things around this season. If he gets Europe even more so .

It’s all about building on that tho, the calibre of players to bring in and of course looking to win things.

We don’t want a repeat of his last time here, with the label “best of the rest” being taken as some kind of compliment.

Where are all the "he always downplays Europe" brigade at today?

He doesn't downplay it; he just makes it sound like achieving it is like re-entering the earth's atmosphere hiding behind a bin lid.*







*Topical commentary.

I mean, it's been nearly 10 years.

And now we're in pole position with a very decent squad all fit apart from Alcaraz and Grealish.

Expectation is the order of the day. Let's see if the serial bottler falls on his face again or rises to the occasion.

 

[BackRow PE6]

We can call it legitimately NOW a progression and improvement on what's gone on the last few seasons. I have no problem with that statement.

But you can only say when all results are in and our destiny is known if this season is successful or an achievement.

As for Martinez v Moyes: my comparison has always been as much about quality of play as much as tangibles like points and places.

Martinez is vastly superior as a coach to Moyes. There is no doubting that in my mind.

Presume you didn’t tune into S2 of Martinez. Coached a good team to become worse and the football was turgid

I fail to see what you see in Martinez Davek. One good season for us then he failed massively despite having a good side and Lukaku up top. Got Wigan relegated (winning the FA Cup was good sure but systematic of his streaky management ability) And even Steve McClaren and Roberto di Matteo have won cup competitions! And his international record with top sides like Belgium and Portugal has been okay at best and certainly not taking them further than they'd ideally have ambitions to go (its immaterial anyway as international football is totally different to club football as you can see by the likes of Southgate's and Steve Clarke's looking competent at international football but clueless with the day to day stuff at club level)

Boyland saying no decision made on a Moyes contract yet.

 

[McCallsVolley]

No other manager talks up what their supporters deserve than David Moyes. I love that.
