Well we don't have anyone who would be a good full back week in week out either, shall we rule out the possibility of playing a back 4 too? Surely whoever the manager is and whatever system they prefer to play, we have to work on the basis that we would be recruiting with that in mind?
And those two games are against Arsenal and Chelsea.
If he's not taking at least 3/4 points off the coming week's games, things could be toxic by the time we play Brentford away on April 11th

Yup, Safety first. It's better than ANOTHER relegation tinged season after all, seems to be the mantra.
Grealish was a gamble we ought not to have took. Just hints at lack of plan. The same money or less would've brought in TWO high quality FB's and we'd look drastically different to plodding up with 3 solid CBs, but none of which add pace or width to us (decent as they have been to 'buy in' to playing out of position, I'm sure it's not fun for them either).
So what's Moyes and TFG achieved in a season where Europe was on the table?
- Rohl not playing
- No FB's brought in
- Adnan same
- Patterson not playing can't cross
- Harrison out of position (but shows potential).
- Grealish too much money for what, a promising spell of about 7-8 weeks?
- Tyrique - temp fix in the same hole that injured Grealish left, which a decent FB could help out
- Dibling... please don't get me started
I simply don't see any green shoots for the type of football that gets us close to Europe, or recruitment that hints at what that footballing plan is.
So if it's 'safety' for a bit - and I don't wish to taint what Moyes has achieved in delivering that quickly - keep him.

Not going to lie, I just don't like it as a system in the first place. I think it can be very easy to play against with the space in the channels unless you have a really talented and organised team.
We don’t have the players to play 4-2-3-1 with a spare part floating 10 either but we’re still flogging it to an eye bleeding degree.
Moyes is starting to become very much like Wile E. Coyote of football, who also is unable to recognize his errors and commits them constantly. Oh another acme product I'm sure it will aid my efforts in catching the road runner cue to the coyote falling down the cliff. "Oh Harrison Armstrong on the wing, Gana on the ball and KDH at ten with no discernable plan to attack other than to whip crosses in , that should work!" Only to fail once again

Can't argue with any of that. Put like that, it's a litany.

His legs haven't gone at all though.
He still gets around the pitch. He is in fantastic shape.
Ignore his age, could he not just be having a bad run of form?

Maybe if he took the cups - and penalty kicks - seriously, we could be bringing money into the club with "extra" home matches and saving money on jaunts to Dubai.
Bar Fulham at home
That's quite a run of just bad form..
Poor lads.
