Moyes-substitutions

[Goat]

So he brings on Dibling, Alcaraz and McNeil and one of them gives the ball away and leads to a villa goal then what?

You’d have people moaning at Moyes for not keeping Ndiaye, KDH and Grealish on the pitch

This really, damned if he do, damned if he dont.

 

[Rita_Poon]

It's even simpler. Win = stay of execution.

Anything else...

Best never make a sub in future, just in case one of your made up worst case scenario circumstances happens.

I don’t think it’s particularly controversial to say it might have been worth rolling the dice a bit. Of course it could have gone wrong, anything could go wrong, but on balance I think it’s fair to say we could have been a bit more proactive changing it up. It’s not the end of the world, but it’s worth discussing. Some of you have slagged previous managers to high heaven for similar, there’s no need to get precious just because it’s Moyes.

Not every game is the same.

Not every game is the same.

No not every game is a nil nil home game with two of the front three tiring and progressive players on the bench in the last 10, Alcaraz or Dibling for KDH was the appropriate call imo. Hypothesising some butterfly effect style imaginary drivel can literally be used for any decision or non decision in any scenario, it's a stupid argument.

I'm still of the opinion Moyes is doing a great job and we are in a better position than I could of hoped for going into the summer, it's also legitimate criticism to say we should have freshened it up in the last 10

Tim Iroegbunam was subbed for Rohllerball, and Beto was replaced by Barry.

Could it be that a steady hand in D-Hall was left on to baby sit Merls?

Fair enough, I just felt the boys were still plugging away, but I agree, fresh legs MIGHT have made a difference, game should have already been over tho for me.

 

[IV(AC)]

Beto off after 60 minutes would have been my shout

Yeah I have no issue with someone saying ‘I thought the team was doing fine as it was and there was no need to change it’ (I’d disagree but accept the point) but going down the ‘well what if he’d brought Alcaraz on and he’d scored 9 own goals’ route is a weak argument.

I’d be down for that

 

[the golden visionary]

It starts……

It's been 22 games, it's late.

 

[Timbucktoo]

Substitutions weren't the problem yesterday, the game should have already been put to bed..

But because after an hour it was n`t put to bed its why folks are giving him stick for not making some substitutions to freshen things up.

When you don`t come away from a game, especially one that looked like it was there to be won against an out of form team, you`ll always have an angle to look at why we came up short. We have a couple of players on the sidelines that could well have turned a draw into a win had they been given the opportunity but the manager chose not to change things until very late in the game because he was too afraid of losing one point instead of being confident the his subs could go on and help get all 3.

 

[WilliamBoo]

Alcaraz isn't as good as the players who were on the pitch, ditto McNeil.

Dibling is yet to be decided.

So no

His weak side is defense. But we were attacking so he would have been useful
