I think some people just want him to stop talking the club down in the way that he does.
He constantly plays us down as the underdog. I’d much rather install a bit of confidence through bigging us up (and risk losing a bit of face if we were to lose) rather than continuing to pass us off as little old Everton who are happy just to avoid relegation each year, and are totally ecstatic to finish 7th or 8th!
Referring to relegation battles that took place over 10years ago really isn’t on IMO, and his record in the really big games does leave a lot to be desired, and I happen to believe that this ‘small club, underdog, relegation’ mantra plays a big part in that.
Sadly that's not the case. The grief he got for not winning something after saying he had his best team was far greater than normal. Some people just don't want him here. 4th place and playing well or not.
They seem to think that because he's been here a while that means that he should have a better team than those that spend money as if having more time with less money to spend in some way counters getting money to spend.
I think we're pretty good against the big boys.. They being City, United, Chelsea, its the lesser clubs we seem to struggle with.
As for the relegation fghts its a generic term, saying your aim is 40 points as quickly as possible then see what they can do is just basics.
Its the first milestone. Once acheived you look at Europe.. Then CL.. Then if its still on the premiership.
If you walk to OZ from England there's nothing wrong with setting your first landmark as the end of your road. Doesn't mean your happy to end there.
Its a daft stick to beat
Moyes with to be honest.
