I wonder if he can unseat Tom King from the bench

I doubt it. It'd be like a mouse trying to shift a buffalo.

Sounds like me and my ex

….two of the 3 youngest ever Premier League goalscorers were not only given their debut at Everton but were given their debut by David Moyes. Victor Anichebe is also in the top 20

You do realize giving a young player his debut and regularly playing him as a youth are two completely different things? It's very apparent that Moyes is apprehensive when it comes to trusting younger players , because he's a rigid man of routine

We will see tonight, because if he goes for McNeil over Dibling, that will be a disgrace

Much easier to throw on a young striker for last 20 mins, than any other position on the pitch.

He will play them IF he thinks hey are physical enough.

….ironic this is posted when 9st Braiden Graham is promoted to the first team squad.

 

[Toffeebraeden]

think it’s been confirmed now that young Mr Graham is on the bench today.

 

[Toffeebraeden]

Bates, Aznou, Welch and Campbell all on the bench… surprised that Bates gets ahead of Patterson, but don’t expect any of them see the pitch aside from Aznou

Looks like Martin Sherif could be on his way back.

"I have been disappointed with the availability and we need people out on that pitch."

MANAGER Matt Hamshaw has hinted that he has made up his mind on the Rotherham United futures of loan strike duo Martin Sherif and Kion Etete.

…still terrific for them, they’ll know they’re held in high regard.

Who’s he had during his career whom he hasn’t given a chance to, who has gone on to excel in the top 10 in the PL/top tiers abroad?

I’ll give you Mustafi but he wasn’t ever getting in ahead of Jags and ?Lescott/Distin.

I think fans like an easy win to slag managers off on youth. The issue isn’t that Moyes doesn’t play them, the issue is that the academy isn’t good enough

I initially thought “ apprehensive” was the wrong word , but I think you’re right. Quoting what Moyes was doing over 20 years ago is completely irrelevant for me. Anybody who’s in their 60’s or older knows you don’t have the same perspective as you did when you were 40. You get more risk averse, you’ve learned from previous mistakes, you’re not going to “ bet the house “ on somethIng risky and yes you do get more apprehensive to a certain degree . It’s a generalisation but it applies to most, and it certainly applies that Moyes is now more risk averse when it comes to playing youngsters than he was 20 odd years ago. He’s also more experienced and in my view a better manager. I guess we take the rough with the smooth with him.
