David Moyes - Taking a knife to a gunfight at West Ham, Part 2

[shagpuss]

Moyes did a good job for us in the main. The 90s and early 00s were dire for Everton. He gave us back some stability and bought some genuinely decent players. We played some decent football without ever setting the world alight.
He was hamstrung by his rather cowardly attitude to the big teams, especially away from home. And very few decent cup runs.
He also seemed to have a blind spot with picking decent strikers: one season of Yakubu aside.
He was sneaky behind our back with United and wasn't a big enough personality to steady the post-Ferguson ship. His time has now gone as a decent PL manager. A shame as he did have some decent traits bit has struggled to adapt.
That run of games for West Ham is quite horrific. Good chance he'll be gone by May at the latest.

Got a Crazy run of games to end their season, can easily see them going down

 

[PITA]

Looking at their fixture list over the next two and a bit months and I really struggle to see where they'll pick up any points. They've got Liverpool twice, City, Spurs and Arsenal all away and a game with Wolves right in the middle.

Definitely look to be going down.

We can but hope.

Fair appraisal. Probably a few years too long here and stagnated is my major addition to that. As much our fault as his, because we were too timid and financially constrained to risk twisting rather than sticking.

One thing about Moyes: we did win the odd game against Liverpool. Four games in eleven years. Not great, but not as bad as the run we're on now.

Wilshere needs another op, will be out indefinitely. 16 appearances in 18 months for them.

Whoever gave him a contract needs sacking.

Would love nothing more than to see that fraud relegate his second prem side.

 

[Archie Knox]

Hopefully Villa and West Ham alongside the already doomed Norwich. Would dearly love Newcastle to drop, but with them on 30 points already feel they have more than enough in the tank to stay up.

18. Villa
19. West Ham
20. Norwich

 

[PDAWG]

They will get hammered tonight

 

[Archie Knox]

Seeing as Liverpool are champions, no qualms with them smashing West Ham tonight if it helps push them nearer to the drop.

 

[Toast]

Moyes is after Ryan Fraser, he would be a very typical Moyes signing.

 

[Nymzee]

Good player that Soucek. But West Ham have signed him so he'll be rubbish.

 

[LEONARD]

Moysie delivers the motivational speech, prior to tonight's match.

They signed Carroll remember. Busiest medical department in the land that club.

Wouldn't go that far, the earlier someone wipes the invincible season from them the better. But I agree win/lose or draw it ain't going to make any difference to whether they pick up the trophy which is a near certainty.
