Hammers and Leeds getting closer to us unsure what the points to survive is this season

Lampards first game?

But consistently, it's been a very long time.

Was that the 4-1 vs Leeds? Yeah I guess that one - other than that were as bad as any team in the league to watch over the past 3/4 years

See that tonight didn’t dishearten me too much, just confirmed that I thought that this squad isn’t ready for a real Europe push. The players showed character last half hour despite being a man light and that character will be important going forward.

The glass ceiling tonight was very visible. Difference is this time for Moyes he will have the resources to challenge it, and if he comes unstuck it will probably be there. Having Bournemouth’s recruitment would definitely help.

Close but not good enough

EFC since 1987

 

[Verbal Kint]

We just can't see a bad patch through without conceding just one goal. Just give away a second and a sending off.

Urgency kicks in then and we start playing with tempo, why can't we bring that attitude from the beginning

Hope this knocks some of Moyes lover boys down a peg or 2. We’ve been poor for weeks. Tonight another example of his woeful in game management. The only positive he’ll take from this is the fact he’s got 2 weeks to decide which player he wants to shoe horn into right back now Jake’s suspended. Not a good night at all

 

[chicoazul]

If you are going to add posts to that thread on people speaking out about Moyes why don’t add them when people speaking for Moyes on those brilliant tactical decisions.

Or a WUM…

Probably the latter.

You ok mate?!

The most baffling thing about Moyes this time around is how he has completely ignored the need for good full back play, even though everything good offensively his old Everton team did was built around have two really good full backs.

We have bad strikers and bad full backs. Absolutely key positions in modern football. And we had chances to do something about it too.

I dont think it's acceptable to continually play people out of position at full back and continually get targeted and found out by opposition managers. It's basic stuff and it's a recurring problem.

This is what I’m struggling to understand. The whole foundation of his successful teams in his first spell was Baines and Coleman bombing on and supporting Arteta and Pienaar, yet this time round he gets his kicks out of playing as many centre backs a he can. It’s surely one of the main factors in our atrocious home form.

Two players without Premier League experience scored for them, assisted by two other players without Premier League experience. One to ponder going forward possibly.

If that Rayan played for us he would have been hooked at half time for giving the pen away. Iraola decided to keep him on and he scored the equaliser and rinsed Mykolenko for a pen that thankfully wasn’t given.

He put the team more or less what most Would have wanted a half decent forward and we win that.
The difference in the quality at fullbacks between them and us is shocking( not that we havnt know that for a while).
Thought bringing on Armstrong. On was a bit of an odd one while your chasing a game though.
Some crap players at the club it will take time to fix.
Moyes needs to shift things around, we are so easy to play agaist.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Anyway.

Stop playing O'Brien at right back.
Drop Gana.
Stop playing Armstrong on the wing.

We'll finish... 10th.

 

[Paul Rideout]

Please David give Gana a rest and play with a flat midfield three.

Please.

Unfortunately none of our wide players are half the player of Pienaar either
