It's not exactly encouraging to a player who's already been on the bench for a first team game.
For Moyes to say he's some a bit off the first team standard implies regression...or worse still - that he was just making up numbers on the bench when he was included.
Moyes is an absolute arsehole.
A child lashing out because he's underlined again how clueless he is in derbies - and everyone knows it.
If he'd made PL appearances, and then he said that, I'd agree, but he never left the bench, and was only on the bench because the squad was compeltely threadbare at the time.
The bold is 100% true.
He wasn't PL ready then, still isn't now.
