It's more all the small stuff that goes with having Moyes as manager for me. The stuff we all knew would never change. Its why for me whilst he is here we will always be the bridesmaid and never the bride.
I get that! I think it was too soon for us all things considering. We improved certain aspects of the squad in the summer but the was still gaping holes in the squad that would come back to bite us. The fact we didn’t sign a starting right back...
If you looks at that season they had a great first half and were on record points at the start of January and in the later stages of Europe. They sold players in the window without replacing them and the players seemed to chuck in the towel...
The thing is, it wasn't too soon, it was in our hands and we bottled it. That's not all down to Moyes, but he has to bear some of the responsibility. Our form since Chelsea has been lousy.
No chance. Same 11 unless there's fresh injuries, or maybe swap out Rohl for McNeil. Moyes don't do changes and he don't do youth (not like that you savages)
Moyes will sign the experienced players, the actual success stories like Grealish and KDH, and the recruitment team will sign the flops like Barry and Dibling.
That’s the prism Moyes has put us in though. Now some people can only see those solutions. The back 4 doesn’t have to be that. JOB could have been at CB, that combination with Tarkwoski concedes less than when Keane plays.
We didnt have to play...
And then when that broke down in July what happened? Nothing, until a spurious link to a lad at Sevilla. You often claim that nobody knows what happens behind closed doors at the club but then assert, with an air of certainty, that you know...
Why even bother having a manager then, if they are ultimately redundant once those players cross the white line? Managers make tactical decisions during a game, they make substitutions, they talk to the players. The idea that once a match starts...
Of course it's a combination of coach and players (and those in the boardroom), but this incessant narrative from some posters that the manager is powerless to affect the outcome of games feeds the division between groups of fans, it doesn't...
What has then? Because we've desperately needed one.
The type of contract matters because of the cost. A player in the first team squad, even one with a diminished role, is on a hell of a lot more money than a junior coach. Whilst our finances...
