2024/25 David Moyes

[Rehnman]

Whatever happened to the new coaching staff that had been previously spoken about, are we not replacing Adam?

I was only thinking about this the other day. Moyes seemed to imply that there’d be big changes to his coaching staff in summer once people became available. The first time round, he brought in Irvine when he barely knew him because he had a reputation as a top coach. I loved that ambition - so many managers just seem to appoint their mates. Was hoping he’d do a similar thing this time round and reach beyond his own circle. Maybe whoever he’d lined up kennyteted him by using us to get a better deal wherever he currently is.

The smoke and mirrors have been upgraded mate thats the issue.

Does he really need replacing ?

His contribution impact was .....Zero.

I'm sure the likes of Baines can get to work on set pieces with better results.

So was Moyesie playing a bit of rope-a-dope with the transfer musings?

Obviously can sell his vision to Grealish Barry Dewsbury Hall. I think the pressure from the Friedkins is a good thing. Moyes isn’t accepting second rate bodies through the door to make up the numbers and he knows he has to perform to keep his job. We could see the best version of Moyes in this coming season. If we finish off a few more transfers he’ll have the squad he wants, the spectre of relegation removed, a clean state to start, a chance to show everyone how good a manager he is

Get the man a 6 and a winger and I may just say it….

Maybe he can also sell a vision to Pickford: of playing football out from the back to work the ball up to such talented players.

Signing players like those is useless if you have some divvy belting the ball 60 yards downfield and/or out of play.

I can’t blame Pickford that much when he looks up and sees any of Coleman Keane Tarkwoski Young Mykolenko Gana wanting the ball played to them. Would you trust any of their first touches under pressure?

I also wouldn't trust Pickford's, to be fair.

Players play that way until the manager tells them they play another way.

When Martinez came in no one thought the defence Moyes left could play out from the back.

If we're still seeing balls launched by Pickford downfield to Barry / Beto and hoping to get the second ball knocked back to KDH or fed out to Grealish/Ndiaye then there's been a load of cash wasted on their signatures, because that's a low yield approach to keeping the ball and bringing those players into the game to dominate.

Moyes is under the microscope now: we have quality players who can carry the ball in growing numbers. It's up to him to exploit it - and the first thing he needs to do in that respect is to tell that GK to start finding the feet of team mates when there's no frenetic high press.

I’d put a lot more confidence in Baines Distin Stones and Jagielka playing out from the back than this current lot. The technique just isn’t there, it would be suicide to over play. Until Gana Tarkwoski Keane and Coleman are guaranteed not to be in the 11 then we can’t play that way. No amount of coaching will improve their first touches, they’ll make a good pass into a lunge and a red card in a blink of an eye and the games gone.

They were right. We went from a club guaranteed high 50 points to low 60 points per season to a club that went to early 40 points being acceptable within 2 years

What made the Martinez shift to playing out from the back possible was not so much the ball playing skills of the back for but how they were able to spilt the CB pairings and allow Garth Barry to collect it and move us up the pitch. That's something KDH is capable of.

The pieces are there and there's no excuse for a PL manager not to use what we have here as a platform to play more football.

Yup, it's not like he has a collection of tiki-taka maestros to trust with the ball on the six-yard line. I'd be aiming for the far scoreboard myself in his position.
