2025/26 David Moyes

[GrandOldTeam]

This squad is not widely improved on last years.

KDH and Grealish are the only two players you can make any sort of case for.

The other players we signed have had 0 impact whatsoever. That's not an improvement. It doesn't matter how much was spent if it produces no tangible benefit.

Just because I don't want the players we let go it doesn't automatically make the players we brought in superior.

You admit then it's improved.

Got there in the end.

Two big home games coming up for Moyes now. Bottom of the table Wolves and our only chance for a cup run. We can't be losing both of them. Even losing one of them would be disappointing.

Utter bonkers this, this loss os all on that.

We look so much more balanced when on is centre back.

I dont even think it's fair on the player. He's usually pretty good at centre half but almost always rubbish at right back. He's playing badly in a position he clearly doesn't know how to play. That's on the manager and coaching not the player.

 

[Chegsy]

He got it wrong today but some of them performances from certain players was shocking. Tim who has looked better of late decides to throw in a 1/10 performance.

 

[TheBigIguana]

More of it just speaks volumes about recruitment. I 100 percent agree that the right side is the bigger issue. I was kind of making the point that Garner is a better option than both at fullback which says it all.

Garner is a legit right back though. He did a job at left back. Right now he should just be playing right back every week.

 

[AaronTheBlue]

Moyes is at his best when he has his backs to the wall and has no real choice at times at playing players.

He's at his worst when there's a 50/50 decision to be made and he will always, always choose the negative one.

Playing Keane today was an absolutely ridiculous decision, he has totally embarrassed himself and is, tactically outclassed.

If he can't shake his safety first negative approach then there's no point keeping him past this season.

Overall done a good job but I don't want years of this again.

 

[Marius57]

Poor decision making today to bring Keane back. We kept a clean sheet last game.

Agreed with the subs. But conceding from that corner did us. They had barely touched the ball in that first 5 mins of second half until then.

Armstrong has to start over McNeil next game.

 

[Dublin blue 75]

Get the blinkers off Moyes or
Keane will see you are the latest manager he helps get sacked.

 

[BlueStevie35]

This is true. But he's not getting a contract extension or staying beyond the summer if we have a modicum of ambition.

Done a fine job steadying the ship. But we have to move on come summer.

Absolutely and I think that was always going to be the plan, get us steady and in a better place for a new man

 

[brooklyn blue]

He’s not getting sacked when we’re closer to top 6 than bottom 6

We need to become proactive rather than reactive..

Two big home games coming up for Moyes now. Bottom of the table Wolves and our only chance for a cup run. We can't be losing both of them. Even losing one of them would be disappointing.

If we only win one I hope it's Sunderland.

We're never going down, and I think results like today and Burnley dictate the positional difference in closer to reality than the point difference.

I hope for a cup run. We'll finish mid table, hopefully top 10 so there's some progress on the last 2 seasons finishes of 13th/12th.

 

[ToffeeTim]

You admit then it's improved.

Got there in the end.

Not by anywhere near enough given the money spent. We could and should be so much better if we spent better.

Dibling Rohl Barry Aznou is like 100m of signings. None of them make the team better. How did we spend that much for players not good enough to start.

 

[blueblood]

The owners won't be afraid to sack him in the summer

If there’s even the remotest possibility of tempting Glasner I’d have no hesitation in sacking Moyes.

He needs two wins - and he'll not get huge credit for either one.

We have to be beating the worst team in the league at home. No excuses. And we cannot be playing reserves or kids in the cup. 1-0 and 0-0 (win on pens) cannot be beyond him.

I suspect we only need another 10 points or so to stay up, so I would agree. We should still be winning both games, however.
