….terrific post, Kev.
Interesting to hear the Forest manager say they were ‘dominated’ by Everton today and fully deserved the win.

You obviously don’t watch football if you think he can play CM, he’s a liability there, because he can’t control or pass a football and it’s just a disaster waiting to happen. That’s why dyche played him further forward to get him away from our goal.
Yes he really loved the club as soon as Lampard dropped him,
Walking of the training ground, taking the piss, every one remembers him sitting on the ball in the warm up, at that point he didn’t give 2 ducks about tbe club and the fans.
And if he loves us so much, he will accept the pay cut

Thanks Doucs but we need to move on,Harrison Armstrong will be better for his loan,we need to add young talent all over the pitch,this has been an inherrant problem with our club for years,we are far too sentimental,we need to start being ruthless,develop a mean streak right through the core of this football club,I love Seamus Coleman but unless we cannot attract a better coach he should move on too at the end of this season,give him a testimonial and the rapturous reception he deserves at the Southampton game but that should be it.

He was the worst player we had today for 90 minutes. Fair play for a well taken winner. The rest of that performance is why he needs to move on. He’s not good enough if we want to move into the top half and actually compete at that end of the table consistently. Seems a great guy. Teammates love him. Very limited player who kills off attacks more than he helps them in the aggregate.

He doesn’t play CM now though does he, he just drops into CM when we don’t have the ball. When we do or when their keeper has it he’s essentially playing as a second striker.
Nobody else in our squad right now has the legs/athleticism for that. Alcaraz could have started today and we could have won 4-0, he might have started and we lose 4-0 because we are no longer compact/hard to play against. It’s a pointless argument when you’ve just beaten third in the league away from home and thoroughly deserved it.
Football is too obsessed with ‘philosophy’ at the moment, sometimes pragmatism is absolutely fine. It’s been ok for Ancelotti…
If you don’t have the right squad to play a certain way you have to make sacrifices to try and get results/make you difficult to play against and find other ways to hurt teams. I’d say Moyes has done an incredible job at that all things considered.

No, good decision making is. Someone younger and potentially more consistent for a start.
Well Moyes hasn’t played him CM yet, we know Moyes is a safety first manager and if he’d let the handbrake off a bit we may have won few more games recently instead of drawing most of them. And he will…I watch football, Matey, seems like Moyes does too, sorry about that.
Have to do that moving forward,
Because he’s now got owners who’ve spent a lot of money and will want to see us moving forward as a club and team. And draws don’t do that. Forest have lost 9
Games we’ve lost 10

Bringing in someone younger and potentially more consistent should not be a blocker to re-signing Doucs
Eggs said he can play in other position’s and that’s why he’s worth keeping ie CM, which I think he meant as a 2 With either gana or gamer not as in a 3 dropping back like today. I disagree and think he’s a liability in a 3. He’s a liability as a 10, because he’s a poor player. Got a goal today and we won the game, but you can’t look at things in isolation. Had we had better than doucoure, Beto and Harrison we wouldn’t have just won 1 game in 7

We should not be re-signing him at all in my opinion
Well it is. Because you can’t have top earners on the bench, you top earners need to be effecting games most weeks
…given where we where the owners will be absolutely delighted with Moyes, he’s doing exactly what they hoped he would.
Amazed that posters are not happy with how things are going, 94th minute winner at Forest and I’m on the rum.

He’s playing because of players like Beto, Doucoure, Harrison, Myko, Garner.
We haven’t got two CM’s you could trust in a 2, Gana has been fantastic but whoever is next to him have been wildly inconsistent (bar Mangala in fairness to him). Doucoure is essentially a plaster for issues we have elsewhere. Yes that creates problems for us going forward at times, yes he’s crap in possession. But I can’t see Alcaraz working back to put a tackle in on their winger or closing down 40 yards to cut off a pass to stop their defenders playing out.
He’s ugly, ungainly and obviously we need better long term. He’s just effective at what we need him to be doing though currently. I hope we outgrow him in the summer as much as anyone else.
