In which case why is even Patterson getting anywhere near the pitch: a player who has consistently proven how chronically bad he is at all aspects of the game and more especially defending?
There's no consistency being applied here. Fans will notice that.
This is not the mid-noughties when Moyes' stock was so high he could buy a player like Kroldrup then hand him one game then get shut of him with everyone scratching their heads but accepting it and moving on. He doesn't have that status anymore and fans are much more questioning of managerial decision making now and will be prepared to scrutinise it a lot more.
Aznou has not been seen by them to any lengthy degree and if Moyes gets shut it'll reflect badly on him. It'll just add to his dinosaur reputation.
Why any player aged 18-20 odds would sign for
Moyes is beyond me.
There’s more with Anzou though - Anzou, Barry,
Dibling represent a poor summer window.
Moyes repeatedly said we needed first team ready players this summer. He also mentioned his frustration that a number of targets didn’t fancy joining.
Looks to me like he had money burning a hole in his pocket and just signed what he could get, instead of what we really needed. We’ve now left ourselves with no cover at left back -
Mykolenko needed upgraded in the summer, at the very least some serious competition brought in.
Beto needed upgrades in the summer, I’d have been okay with him staying if he was backup but we’ve ended up with someone with no discernible improvement. The two worst strikers in the prem.
Dibling, barely given him a run and we’ve run N’Diaye into the ground.
He’d have been better just getting some loans in saved our money for a window when we could get people to join who would improve the team.
If I was the Friedkins I’d be asking some really serious questions about his summer spending - particularly if he was coming to me asking for more money for a left back or a centre forward.
